Hi, I'm Jacob from Rock A Role Games.
I got into visual novels about six years ago, and last year me and my wife started our own game dev studio to create visual novels ourselves. We both have a burning passion for story-telling, and having gotten to spend the last year developing a game has been amazing.
I've been meaning to try and get into the community a bit more, but game dev has just taken too much time. Now we have finally launched our first Kickstarter, however, and though marketing is still a full-time job, I hope to have time to engage with the community a bit more.
Of course, I would also welcome any and all thoughts you all might have about the game we've made. Since this is our first game, critique - both positive and negative - is invaluable. If you would take the time to check our game out, I would be ever so grateful. We're on Kickstarter now, and our demo is free on Itch.io.
Looking forward to getting to know you all better,
Jacob

ABOUT
In Super/Human Identity, you wake up with superpowers in an unfamiliar facility, the designation “Subject 5" your only clue to a former life you have no memory of. On the run, fighting for your life, you join up with Subjects 1-4. Together, you must cross a ruined city to get to safety and find answers. Beset by an external threat as well as internal conflict, you have to navigate alarming revelations and difficult choices, before finding your freedom.
The choices you make as Subject 5 will have a significant impact on your experience. They will – directly or indirectly – affect your companions' attitudes, identities, and relationships with each other, making for major differences in the group dynamics form one playthrough to the next. Any two characters can end up as friends or bitter enemies, and no one is safe from death.
Super/Human Identity also allows you to play as the character you want to play. Plenty of dialogue choices means that Subject 5 only says what you want them to say, without being forced to act a certain way. Your control extends to your physical appearance, with two different avatars to choose from, and your pronoun, with three options. As a queer studio, it is also important for us to be inclusive to the LGBTQIA+ community, and try to ensure that no matter who you are, you will be able to play a character who is like you. One aspect of this is our six romances, with both male and female love interests who are available for all genders, and a choice of whether to turn the relationship sexual or not.
KEY FEATURES
• Choose your avatar, pronoun and name as you develop your main character into who you want them to be with nuanced choices.
• Influence each of your companions' fates. Will they live or die? Who will they become if they survive?
• Experience different group dynamics as a consequence of your choices. Any two characters can be friends or bitter enemies.
• Romance one of 6 different characters – 3 male and 3 female – available for all genders.
