🕑 Added 2018-09-14 00:46:30 +0000 UTC You can download the demo for PC and Mac right here.If you have any issues with the downloads let me know with a comment. I'll be hovering here for a bit.
For about a year and a half now, along with my friend and programmer Kaldonis, I've been working on a proof of concept demo for a game set in the world of my comics. It's been a lot of work to squeeze around our respective paying jobs, but it's also been a ton of fun to work on. On behalf of the recently founded Switchverse Games, I hope you guys enjoy the demo. And feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

I was trying out Avira at the time of the notification. I was using Kapersky previously, however the license expired and I wanted to try some free software just to compare. I didn't think it was renpy itself per se. I play a handful of other games that utilize renpy, and those haven't caused Avira to ping the exe as a suspect program.
kaldonis
Hi ya, thanks for the feedback. Do you use avira by chance? I run eset home security full paid package. Also malwarebtyes and super antispyware. Full system check is clean and both zip files with all programs (apart from cookies but they always come up on super antispyware). We've heard about this problem and I'm looking what it can be. I think it's because the program(renpy) is unknown to some virus killers. As a virus from 2015 id would have thought all virus killers would stop this. I'll keep looking into it and hopefully solve the issue soon. Thank you for the feedback. I hope this helps.

Glad to help!
Reinbach
Hey welcome aboard and thanks for the feedback! I'll pass this on to my programmer. Obviously there are no viruses in the demo, but Kal and I are new to this, so we're still in the process of figuring out how to keep the product from raising virus alarms. Every little bit helps, and if you have any issues with future builds please don't hesitate to let us now again.

I've enjoyed the strips for a while, the artwork is great. With you making a game I thought I'd throw in a pledge. Thought I'd bring it up though, I would imagine it's a false positive but I want to be sure either way. My antivirus is warning about TR/Crypt.ZPACK.Gen. Here's a virustotal scan result: <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.virustotal.com/</a>#/file/ac8e09c5cebb54e88621e3fc311a8434274b78f660a062fc52ec64bd312d8f40/detection

Well, it's a dating sim in that you'll date the girls, but not in the sense where it will be like most dating sims I've played, which are basically just memory tests where you ask girls trivia about themselves and they quiz you later. But you will find out more about the girls the more you spend time with them and eventually work your way to sex scenes. I'm going for more of a choose your own adventure story, where you're free to go after the girls you want, and either just be friends or pass over the ones who may not interest you.
Arlando
so i love Liz like to a ridiculous level. my question is, is the game a dating sim, (you can discover more things about a character by establishing relationships) or is it just a (discover sex scenes) type game. i understand one might be more complicated to pull off so i'm just asking out of curiosity
Dantels
Eh, I like when the seemingly average laid back dude is packing, and when the PoV character is packing so those two instincts combine to make me a bit greedy.
Reinbach
:D
Jonoffen
Never mind, I found the little fuck x
Reinbach
Hey thanks for letting me know! It's great to hear you're excited. Also I've had enough people ask about the Reinbob that I'm no longer worried about spoiling it: you can find it under the counter at Kitty Burger.
Reinbach
You think? I wanted Isaac to come across as an average guy I guess. I didn't imagine a Royce-sized horse dick would really fit him.
Jonoffen
Reinbach, I want to play it a few times before I comment, but so far it fucking amazing and I'm more excited about this than any mainstream games. Can you just answer me this, is there a Reinbob in this build?
Dantels
I like it, though I sorta wish he was packing a little more.
kaldonis
Hi ya. I can have a look into coding a slider to control the skip speed for the game. Also PM me if u want to know where the Reinbob is hiding.
Lux
Finally got a chance to check out the demo, and I love the concept. I've always thought the switch-verse would do well with a dating sim, so thanks for making that come to light. Couldn't find the Reinbob anywhere though and I Love how just the demo has a few different endings. Needs a bit of work optimizing the transitions and the skip function needs a little work as when you go over things you managed before (no spoilers) it flashes those images way too fast for me. Keep up the great work you two.
kaldonis
Great to know, cheers for the feedback. I have no way of testing it for a Mac currently.
Reinbach
Glad you like it! And don't worry she'll be there. :)
Reinbach
Hey great! I hadn't specifically heard from any Mac users yet so that's good to know.
Reinbach
There needs to be awareness! :D
MH
I played it, and it seems to work okay on a Mac. Nice scenery! 😉
Kyman201
I'm checking the demo. Dude, you can't just TELL non-Washingtonians about the squirrel attacks!
H!kun
Amazing!!! Can´ ´t wait to see Sylvia in the game... Keep it up!
Reinbach
Thanks!
NKL
Cool, I hope we get to meet her and the other "models" :)
Sarah Hawke
Hey, congratulations on getting this out!!!
Bob Fink
I haven't had a lot of time to play yet but the little I did, it looks awesome and I love the interactivity. Great job guys!
Reinbach
Me neither, that was all Kal. I'm glad you like how it came out!
Reinbach
Glad to hear it!
Reinbach
Hey thanks!
Reinbach
Hey thanks! It will be a long project, but I hope it will be fun for supporters like you to help shape the project with feedback as we go along.
Reinbach
It sure is! :)
alex baker
Anyone else want to see a cover for the game, one like you see on game in stores. I think it would be fun.
NKL
BTW, is that Sylvia on the MILF calendar?
Weber Jo
I see. That is neat and thanks for the quick response
kaldonis
Hi ya, the game engine we are using (Renpy) will allow you to go over the initial 9 pages of saves just in case you need more. Thanks for the feedback :)
NomadicWanderer
Amazing work... the interface is slick, and the Switchverse characters are really tailor made for a game like this. My only complaint is waiting for the full game to release.... can't wait, and count me in for a first day buy when you do!
Weber Jo
I noticed that using the arrow button in the saves menus you can increase the page number to above 9. I am not sure, but I do not think that is intentional. Other than that, I really dig the demo, keep up the great work ;)
Stush Cinta
Wow, man, that was like, suuuuper goood! You did great things with Ren'py (I was playing around with it a bunch earlier in the year, i'm not much good with code stuff)
NKL
After playing the demo, I'd say I'm pretty hype for this project!
Scholarly
It is more of an awareness thing. Your stuff is on sites that give away your stuff for free after a few days of you posting them here and while there are some that join Patreon through that like me it would be a low percentage. I think you deserve to earn more than you are doing now it is just that not many as could be have seen your work. I think your work is not typical though, the reason why I joined patreon is because I fell in love with the characters even though I think your art is top notch. Maybe kickstarter wouldnt be the right way to go, but maybe offer your older stories as free erotic e-books or something?
Taylored Printers
I did! Switch makes a great tool for story progression. the ending made me laugh a bit with the younger sister of the MC, I imagine she'll get more than she asked for later on. I say, trying to not spoil it at all.
Angelo
Loved the demo
Reinbach
Great! Hope you like how the demo came out. I'll be sure to announce when the game is starting for real as soon as I have a solid timeframe.
Reinbach
I dunno, don't you think Patreon is enough? I'll be releasing the demo for free tomorrow, (though future updates will be released only here at Patreon,) I don't want to come on too strong by pushing too hard in different outlets and make it look like I'm e-begging here.
Reinbach
I'd be happy to hear your feedback when you're done!
Reinbach
Hope you like it!
Reinbach
Thanks for noticing! I thought that would be a fun thing to imply.
Reinbach
I hope so! :)
Reinbach
That will be a thing for sure.
Reinbach
:D!
Scholarly
I agree with this, you should definitely consider putting it on kickstarter and putting the demo for free on it. It is definitely one of the more polished renpy games I have played(nearly all renpy games dont have consistent music).It probably wouldnt make as much money from the kickstarter, but you will get a lot more patreon funders at the end of it I am sure.
Angelo
I didn't know what to expect when you mentioned working on a new project and this definitely surpassed any expectations I had. Looking forward to seeing more.
That black guy
Gonna go to KS or indie go go? I know they're both down with adult content as long as it's not directly shown on the page
Bob Fink
Loved the commercial break, and leave it to Liz to just want to eat the whipped cream. ;-) Can't wait to play the game.
Taylored Printers
Liz, the most real comment in this picture, lol time to try the game!
Squid Hills
Parker's expression in panel 2 is wonderful! It's like she's both surprised to find a riding crop in her hands, and eager to take it for a spin!
MAR
Crap, your art in a game with decision trees. This is gonna be a lot of replays
alex baker
i hope as the game progress we can post to fuckwall.
ScuzzBucket
Jane has the most perfect body ever. But damn, she’s so mean to poor Parker! You’re breaking my heart, Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnne!
Reinbach
Great! I'll keep you posted when I know for sure when the next update will be ready.
BlackWolf

alex baker

Reinbach
