Project Kick-Off
🕑 Added 2020-06-26 19:39:59 +0000 UTC
Well, not really...
Kentyrr and I started this as a proof-of-concept about two months ago.
Since then, we've developed a story arc, a clean and professional-looking UI, a stat tracking system, and a slew of interesting characters to populate our world.
Additionally, we have brought in a few trusted fans to sanity check us and provide feedback against competing projects from other developers working toward the same target demographic.
Here's what you can expect from the project under development:
-Beautiful artwork
-A compelling story with meaningful and believable consequences for player actions
-Proofread dialogue and narrative. Quality matters.
-Lots of sexy, intriguing, and emotional story. We will pull no punches on delivering a scene.
-Commitment to learn: We know our skills will advance as we tell our story. We promise not to abandon the project or continually stop content progression so we can go back and bring previous content up to our new standards.
-Adult content. This is targeted at an 18+ fan base.
-Avoiding overused VN tropes, including (but not limited to):
- -Impossible model anatomy
- -Application of sunscreen or a casual massage always leading to sex
- -Spin the Bottle or Truth or Dare leading to the same
- -Women losing all capacity for critical thought at the sight of a penis
- -Low-effort harem-building
A shout-out before I sign off:
Kentyrr and I would not feel confident enough to put ourselves out there without the patience and work of other developers who guided and confided with us. I would like to give credit where it's due now, in spite of the fact that we haven't released a product yet:
Dr. PinkCake - Encouragement, technique explanation, and setting the bar for storytelling.
Phillygames - Production values, encouragement on artwork, and giving a ton of advice on Daz to Kentyrr.
The Naughty Captain - Scripting and coding tips and tricks, and reinforcing the truth that sometimes less is more.
Mircom - Encouragement and constant reinforcement of how to add spice to an erotic scene.
VoidStar - His coding is so organized, I use it as reference material to learn Ren'Py.
Mr. Dots - Always a benchmark for storytelling and character development.
Please visit their pages and show them your love. They are all rock stars in the genre, and have been huge influences for us.
Lastly, a special dedication in memory of Chatterbox, who tragically passed during the development of the Lexi project: Kentyrr was working to perfect a tribute to Lexi when we met, and our partnership was built on the bond that arose from that. In that sense, this work is a continuation of yours. Thank you.
That's it for now!
Once Discord is integrated, I will begin working on a progress tracker so patrons can see where we are in the development cycle.

I promise that any deaths for main love interests will be avoidable and not and if/or calculation. Thank you for your kind words!

You learnt storytelling well from the Doctor and Mr Dots. A cautionary statement though. If you kill Jaye in a fire, I will come and hunt you down.

Can't wait, very much looking forward to the games progression over time. - Nate.
