Announcing Miss Castlewood!
🕑 Added 2024-09-28 20:17:12 +0000 UTCI'm pleased to announce a new ongoing reward for all supporters around here! :D
Miss Castlewood is a dating sim Kal and I have been working on for awhile now starring the cast of This Romantic World. The story this time revolves around the girls competing in a swimsuit contest for a big cash prize and you play as the judge who will cast the deciding vote. On to the hypothetical questions I imagine you might be asking!
-Another visual novel? How is it different than the last one?
Miss CastleWood is less of a story-driven adventure and more of a small scale interactive companion piece to the comic. It's about getting to know the girls and finding out more about them than I could ever fit in the comic or even a character bio.
-Is it canon?
Nope! Not this time. I want every girl in the cast to be eligible for seduction here regardless of what they've got going on in the story. Which means that characters with boyfriends like Parker, Elianna, and Miss Holt will all be conveniently single and Bria has already had her baby. The characters will all still act true to their canonical selves but other than that, anything goes.
-Aren't you guys already working on a game?
About that! This Clandestine World is still in development. But the work on it is coming along very slowly and just isn't conducive to quarterly release builds like we did in the past with the TRW visual novel. I mean, it took us a year to make a ten minute demo. We haven't given up on it and are still making steady progress, but this could take a very long time and we want something we can offer more consistent updates for. Time may prove that an animated point and click adventure is too ambitious a project for a team of two people who both have tons of other obligations, but until then the work continues.
-The answer to a game taking a long time to make isn't to start a second game, jackass. It's actually more work, you see. If you hadn't ruined your brain with porn and video games it would be obvious you witless imbecile-
Whoa! Take it easy over there. This will be extra work, yes, but not as much as you might think. After working on the TRW game for five years, Kal and I are very efficient in that particular medium. The plan as of this writing is to add one new girl every quarter of the year. Each girl gets two unique illustrations, those being a sex scene and an ending if they win the contest. And I'm doing the endings in a more cartoony style that makes them faster to create. Two drawings and a script for one girl every few months isn't going to move the needle all that much on my current workload.
And I think that covers the big stuff! The first build featuring both Casey and Bria will be launching in October on the Game Dev tier and then to all other tiers a week later. It's been killing me to keep this all under wraps so I hope you're half as enthused as I am for the upcoming release.

That's fair
Iokua
You're doing God's work.
Reinbach
;D
Reinbach
Great! She's a shoe in for sure.
Reinbach
She's in the first build, actually, she's just not a sex option yet. As of this writing the second build is planned to be about her.
Reinbach
Not yet. Maybe one day in the comics though. :D
Reinbach
Different playable genders would have been nice but considering how many girls we'd like to get to, multiple distinct sex scene illustrations for each one just wasn't in the cards. The main character is a male player avatar, his name is changeable along with a few preset skin tones to choose from.
Reinbach
Possibly? There's not a lot anyone else could help with that I know of. I've hired some professional help with the animating but even then if it's not me making every frame the characters won't look consistent.
Reinbach
Coming soon, even! :)
Reinbach
Lolz!
Reinbach
I hope you like what we've got when the first build hits! :)
Reinbach
Stephanie for sure, if the project is able to go on long enough.
Reinbach
Glad to have the interest! :)
Reinbach
Great! :)
Reinbach
:D
Reinbach
Well Bria's already done as of this writing but alt versions of the characters may be possible in the future.
Reinbach
For sure! I'm working in some that weren't romancable in the first VN already, like Abbey, Morgan, and Miss Holt.
Reinbach
Noted! :)
Reinbach
That sounds cool for sure but may be more ambitious than I'd be able to manage. XD
Reinbach
Anyone with a standee asset is already confirmed. Which means Raina and Sylvia for sure. :)
Lord Washington
Oh and the nurse too
Slaughterbug
I can't wait for Liz to get a spot in this.
Deano
Will Abbey be in this?
Iokua
So... if this is going to be post Bria's baby... does that mean Bria's tits will be even more gargantuan?
Kyman201
Oh interesting. Is this game going to be from the perspective of an established minor character, or will it be the good ol "The Player is a Viewpoint Protagonist Insert"? In that case, will we be able to pick some options like whether the protagonist is male, female, or futa?
MAR
Please don’t talk about yourself like that. As for the other game, have you thought about getting some help?
ScuzzBucket
Well that’s a surprise! I had no idea some extra stuff was coming!
CalamityMan
I’ve already got Castle… wood, just thinking about this new game.
Chris Davis
Oh Man, oh Man!! This is the best idea ever!!! And the best thing is, it's plug and play! You can add new contestants whenever you have time to make them! Like DLC's! I'm thinking, Girls of Kittyburger or Girls of Castlewood Country Club!
Squid Hills
Will it be limited to main cast character, or will minor characters like Stephanie or Mandy or Sister Theodora be showing up?
Squid Hills
Yes, I need some of the mothers, too.
Nikuthulhu
Woo! I'm excited to play this 😊
llCDll
Oh hey, this is a pleasant surprise!
Snizzlefit
I hear the Bria section is especially well written and gripping. A real tour de force of smutty interactive fiction. Or so a little birdy told me :P
RenegadePhantom
If I could make a humble suggestion of pregnant Bria instead of Bria having already had her baby? I realize I might be in the minority with this😅
Yuu Yi
Looking forward to seeing all the designs you come up with for all the girls, and def excited to see more interaction with more of the girls that have been out of the spotlight for a while.
Vylon Delta
Looking forward to it! I hope this one has a screen shot feature to capture Castlewood’s natural beauty 🤤
The Funny Hatter
What about putting in a raffle to judge each time, and charge for a commission of the winner judging the characters competing in the comic?
Lord Washington
Will any of the mothers be in it?
