Celebrating One Year of Turning the Page!!!
🕑 Added 2023-09-19 16:31:58 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Before the update releases as usual tomorrow, we just wanted to take a moment on the eve of Turning the Page’s anniversary to acknowledge and thank all of you. Every one of you reading this and anybody who has supported us in the past and in the future. Thank you.
To mark the occasion, here is some trivia that some of you may find interesting. Even though this is the anniversary of our release, the idea for Turning the Page was conceived of back in December 2020. Back then the original story was quite different. It was meant to be a short little piece called “Diary of a Cheating Teacher.” (Quite an original title, we know...)
At that point it wasn’t even a visual novel, but instead a piece of prose (in diary form, if you could believe that). It was never really intended to be shared publicly. It was just a little personal writing project for the fun of it. Things were similar, but different. Initially, Sophie Page was called Norah Bailey, Felix was called Mike and Zack was called James. There was a Danielle-like character called Lydia, but she was overall quite different. Amy, Nate, Jonah and Brooks didn’t exist at all.
It got about a quarter-finished before finally being re-envisioned as a visual novel, around Fall of 2021. We spent a long time on pre-production, probably longer than we should’ve. One of many lessons we’ve learned over this period.
But despite the tough lessons, working on TtP has also been very rewarding. Creatively speaking, working on a story this long and complex has been a real treasure, as well as an exciting challenge. It has brought us unprecedented success and has given us hope for the future. In fact, just this past weekend, we decided on some significant elements concerning our next project. We won’t be revealing details on that one for quite a while yet, so don’t ask… Still, it’s exciting!
Before leaving you, we want to share something that we don’t believe we’ve shared publicly before, just a little something to commemorate the occasion:
That is the first sketch that Operae ever drew of Sophie. As you can see, she has changed a bit since then… and I’m sure there are some more changes coming in her future... 😋
Thanks once again all of you for a wonderful and memorable year. Hope you all enjoy the next one even more.
See you all tomorrow!

Congrats on this anniversary. I've played a lot of VN's western and japanese and this is definitely one of if not the best I've played. Huge props to the writer and artist, as this has some of the best writing I've seen in an NTR VN, actually realisitic and slow burn corruption. During the wait for updates I've gone back and started some of your older games and the progress and growth is clear. I can't wait for more updates and your next project!
My Love Is Your Love
Congratulations for this one year anniversary ! Really glad that you made it into a VN. Definitely the best NTR VN that I ever read/played (western and japanese included), and by far. And we're just getting started in the "good stuff". The great build-up and slow burn really made the difference between this game and the previous ones. Hopefully your next project will follow the same trend, definitely will be keeping an eye on it 👀

Happy anniversary to TtP ! 🙌 You guys made ( and are still making ) such an amazing game, with extremely hot characters who have interesting personalities, an intriguing story ... The balance between the corruption POV of Sophie and all the mystery and doubts we have in Felix POV is so well done, can't wait for tomorrow's update ! Keep going like this guys, all your Patrons are waiting for the 20th day of each month with impatience 🫶
