Heyo, I'm Sleepy from EXP-resso Mutt! I wanted to share a point-and-click steampunk horror visual novel we've been working on called "Camera Anima"!

SUMMARY “One, two, the bell tolls late “Three, four, don’t forget your Face "Five, six, don’t stay out late "Seven, eight, don’t meet his face "Nine, ten, never wake again” Camera Anima is a point-and-click visual novel game about twin sisters, a series of serial killings stretching across decades, and an automaton who takes the souls of those who meet its face. On the Floating Isles of Awyr, citizens live in a society where their livelihoods and social status are defined by the masks or “Faces” they wear. Though attitudes are slowly changing towards the Face-system, there are rumors that those who wander the streets at night without a Face become prey to the Artisan, doomed to turn up as a stylistically arranged corpse. You take control of Essie Flaversham, whose twin sister is taken by the Artisan. Pursue the Artisan, unravel the history behind them, and save your sister before it's too late.

Watch the Trailer! >Support us today on Kickstarter!< We’ve always wanted to make a visual novel with an emphasis in hand-holding. In Do Not Love - Violators Will Be Shot, you play as an intimus - someone who sells illegal intimacy inside a city-wide quarantine zone. In a place where skin contact means death, all your choices define whether you perish, survive or maybe... Even find love. Please consider helping us raise funds to build the full version of Do Not Love - Violators Will Be Shot! Demo download links: Windows | Mac | Linux Demo also available on Itch.io! Ten years ago, six children in Manila are found dead from a gruesome disease. The pathogen, named instantaneous Nex Aneurysma, or iNA(def: 'Mother') for short, is a contagion found to be fatal, undetectable, and transferable only via human touch. After this discovery, the capital city of Manila is shut off from the world and Republic Act 51001 is passed. 'An act establishing the quarantine of the city of Manila, and the forbidding of skin contact between all citizens preventing further transmission of the iNA disease, to be enforced with whatever means necessary.' No intimacy. No physical connection. Violators shot on sight. Ten years have passed, and twenty-one year old Jericho survives by being an intimus - someone who sells human touch inside the Neo-Manilan walls. Though the crime is considered punishable by death, both police and citizens have come to accept him and intimi as part of "normal" life. Until one day, a new chief inspector comes into power, who’s determined to rid the streets of intimus once and for all. Now Jericho, hunted and starving, is faced with numerous decisions. Choices that will dictate whether he lives, dies... Or maybe, even find something he thought impossible in Neo-Manila - love. Once a former mercenary, Jericho now survives in Neo-Manila by being an intimus - someone who sells illegal hand-holding. However, when the new chief inspector declared the intimi public enemy no. 1, he finds himself hunted and starved in his own grounds. Help Jericho fight for his survival, and unravel the reason why he fights so hard to begin with. Carmen has been with Jericho since before the 'incident' began. From being mercenaries, to selling intimacy as intimus, it made logical sense to keep the winning formula together. Until one day, an offer too good to pass up lands on her lap. But they only want her... A heiress to old money, Mai has never known a life of hollowness and cold. In the world's largest quarantine zone, she lives in the lap of luxury, never needing to work nor want for anything. What else could she possibly desire? Reina is just an ordinary high-school girl. She follows all the school rules, observes the law to the letter, and does what she is told. She's just an ordinary high-school girl. Rising to replace the deceased Chief Inspector, Annabelle comes to power with one goal in mind - rid the streets of Neo-Manila from intimi once for all. Efficient, cunning, and merciless, it seems her goal is coming to fruition. She will take whatever lengths to achieve the peace in her city. --- Hi guys! Chaironiichan here. I wasn't sure how to update my previous post, so I'm not sure if I'm following the rules correctly If I'm not, I hope the mods could point me to the right way on how to go about things.

Join Kevin and his group of friends as they leave for a much-anticipated trip into the wild outdoors. There will be camping, fishing, hiking... Oh, and campfire stories, of course! But don't believe everything you hear. All the nasty rumors surrounding Wright Lake are surely just that - rumors. Or are they? Whiteheart Woods is a visual novel that explores the themes of friendship, love, and personal secrets, set in a world on the brink of a great change. Experience a story- and character-driven narrative, and make meaningful choices that affect your relationships and determine what endings you get. Genres: supernatural, mystery, comedy, romance, suspense Romance: B x G, B x B 4 pursuable characters (3 female, 1 male) Over 50k words of script (over 5h of gameplay) Multiple endings that depend on your choices Character sprites with blinking animations and various outfits CG, Background and Ending Galleries H-scenes Steam Achievements and Trading Cards Available for Windows, Mac and Linux Just like every summer, Kevin takes a break from the noise and hustle of big city life. Bringing along a group of close friends, he leaves for a week of cabin camping on the shores of a remote lake, deep in the wilderness. But despite being known for its breathtaking, serene beauty and crystal clear waters, the area also holds a reputation for bizarre, unexplained happenings. It isn't long before the group begins to discover that there is more to Wright Lake than even the most outlandish campfire stories would suggest... Content warnings: general mature themes, strong language, use of alcohol, nudity, sexual content. Nayru - Lead Developer / Artist / Writer / Programmer MstMori - Artist / Writer / GUI Designer Marcianek - Background Artist Questions: 1. What parts of the demo did you enjoy/didn't enjoy and why? 2. Which character did you find the most intriguing so far? We'd love to hear what you think!

Project Introduction My First Castellan is Elysium Studios' first visual novel and it's a romance-mystery in an alternate history universe. Visual Novel Synopsis Ever thought you had a bad day at work? Harlequin Beaumont has you beat. You see, he just got a sweet job as Castellan of Vernon and on his first day in town, his family’s reputation as a bunch of party animals precedes him. This, of course, makes him seem like a young, naive fool to his new personal assistant, Ruby Fox. After trying to joke around with the castle’s security staff, he proceeds to his room to retire for the night… only to be held down and injected with a magical elixir. When he wakes up three days later, he finds his best friend, the Crown Prince of Cordonia, at his bed side… and he is now a she. You both work together to try to hunt down the truth of the conspiracy against you as you fulfill your obligations as Castellan. Navigating both the Royal Court and the nobility, as well as Cordonia’s seedy criminal underbelly, you can discover a plot that stretches to the highest levels of Cordonian society that leaves you wondering, can you really trust anyone? In Episode One, you get to know Northwinter, the capitol of Vernon and your new home. And what better way than a festival? After you are installed as Castellan of Vernon, you get thrown into the celebration of the Greater Feast and culminating with the Winter Solstice. However, the conspirators who changed Harley left something very important behind: one of their own! Because of the crowds and tourists, he's having a hard time leaving Northwinter. Your objective is to hunt him down while not panicking the crowd and get the details about what happened to you. Staff or Team Members Apart from myself, we also have Madison Taylor (artist from the Least Likely Magical Girl web comic) doing the background art and DaphInteresting (character artist who did the Panzermadels art) doing the character art. Matthew Myers (L33tMusic) is doing the original sound track, Atomic-Invasion is doing the logo and GUI, and WhiteCharisma is finishing up the trailer. Progress The project is 100% written and since we've gotten to the point where we've gotten as much assets as we could with the resources we have, we're going to be launching a Kickstarter soon. Background art is around 10-15% completed, character art is 7% done, the theme song for the OST is done, and we're working to get started on the GUI. Originally, the game was a one-off, 100,000 word VN but after serious thought and introspection, we decided to make it into a series because the pacing was wrong doing it in one go with only 100,000 words. We're aiming for an August early release on Steam/itch.io and a December full release. Extra relevant information My First Castellan on itch.io Contact info: hewwo@elysium.coop

KICKSTARTER || TWITTER Welcome to Love Shore, a city that transforms at night. The futuristic metropolis also just happens to also be populated with cyborgs, old gods hidden in the depths of a criminal underground, and humans eager to crawl their way to the top, no matter what the cost. After a fertility crisis changed the landscape of the city for good, a single company stepped in to help the residents: Life S. Incorporated, a biotech firm that claimed to be able to build life out of raw DNA, creating a fully formed human with thoughts, feelings, and morality of their own. Their minds, physical appearance, and personality would be drawn from their parents’ DNA, but the children would be ‘born’ using artificial bodies. This new generation would be called the S.Humans: a non-aging, tough form of new life. Love Shore is a visual novel game that takes concepts we've always loved in sci-fi, action, and horror and blends them together to create something wild. It features a queer, diverse cast, a seemingly endless city, and a story of coming into yourself and doing what you think is right…with a heavy dose of drama and violence mixed in for good measure. Love Shore features two playable protagonists with four romanceable options, each with their own storylines. The cast is entirely LGBT+. The game’s projected features will include 12 chapters, 24 possible endings, 60 CGs, 25 unique locations, and an original soundtrack. Follow one of two protagonists, Farah or Sam, as you investigate the city's criminal underbelly, and help your companions on their quests for redemption, love, and power. Love Shore has a cast of vastly different individuals, from S.Humans to Gods. Each person is unique in their motivations and in the way they interact with the world, and with you. Be careful to choose your friends and lovers wisely. Protagonists Love Shore is a vast and intricate city, and you’re going to need some local help to find out what’s going on. Each of your companions have different strengths, weaknesses, and connections that can either help or hinder you. Your companions can be your love interests, or you can just pursue true bromance: the choice is yours. All companions in Love Shore have an approval rating for Sam or Farah, based on their interactions with them, and these ratings can unlock new dialogue and different paths! If you want to check out all the companions, check out our Kickstarter! THE TEAM The beautiful sprites featured in Love Shore (as well as all the CGs) are done by Kabo. They are the lead character designer with a deep love for fashion and neon. (Hence, perfect for Love Shore). Zi is the amazing individual behind all the environments you see in game! She is an illustrator and concept artist who loves doing promotional work inspired by film. And that beautiful menu you see above? That’s by our UI Designer Sonja, who contributes a retro-sleek and professional look to the game. Besides being a huge memer, they have worked on a variety of design projects and games, both personal and professional. Son M. and Emmett are the co-writers of Love Shore, who additionally moonlight as producers for the game. Jason is a freelance programmer, and founder of indie gamedev studio Stray Basilisk. He's a dedicated sci-fi nerd, and card-carrying Philip K Dick and Stanislaw Lem fanboy. Jason joined the team to help bring Perfect Garbage's creative vision for Love Shore into reality. Jayson is the musical brains behind our soundtrack. He is an independent artist, musician who makes his own music and has worked on sound design for a handful of projects. Our theme song (the one that plays during the credits/menu) was composed and produced by 1X4X44R exclusively for Love Shore. If you like the sound, check out their other music! We are trying to reach $50,000 on Kickstarter! It's a steep goal, I know, but to pay for the art fairly, the music and programming, it's the smallest amount we could ask! The majority of the funding goes straight into the art (53%). Art - 53% UI Design - 4% Game Development / Programming - 22% Sound - 2% Writing - 19% [DEMO FOR MAC OR PC] Features the “First Chapter” of Love Shore and acts as a World/Character introduction to showcase the art, music and storytelling that will be present in the completed game. Two main characters with completely unique, yet intertwining stories to choose from Each character has four romanceable options Rated 17+ for mature language, sexual themes, and violence. THE DEMO DOES NOT INCLUDE MATURE CONTENT. The demo of Love Shore is a work in progress, showcasing our team’s abilities to produce a story of this caliber. There are no save/load options but should take only 30 minutes to play both character introductions. There are an estimated 12 chapters per route included in the final game. Thanks for taking the time to look over this! It's a project I'm very passionate about and I'm still learning my way, even during this kickstarter! Please Enjoy! KICKSTARTER

#otome #humor #romantic #resource_management //could be changed [project_name]«Endless development»[/project_name] [genre] visual novel with resource strategy [/genre] Cheers, ladies and gentlemen! Enrakh Tales team welcomes you! In 2018, we have finished our project ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBVYhrYf4cI&list=PL3X5-RJhe4-4HrvCC9Ll17i7Qtx6S2v_Q ) , SORRY it’s in Russian, but «Endless development» is gonna be in English). Now are rested and ready to new heroic deeds. We’ve made a lot of mistakes and learnt a lot, so now we want to create something completely different: a fun and interactive VN about working in the game industry. It’s going to be an otome with resource management elements (we were inspired by Long Live The Queen, but are going to create a more narratively focused game compared to LLTQ). This time, our project is going to be commercial. Our plan is to create a demo version by the end of 2019 (both in English and Russian), upload it to kickstarter and crowdfund further development in this way. We’ve designed our characters, the basic plot structure, scenes which we’ll include in the demo and the game mechanics. We are looking for enthusiasts who want to help us with our beautiful mission. We’re developing the demo for free, but the funds gathered through the kickstarter campaign will be distributed between our team members. The people we need right now are: 1) Sprite artist. The artstyle we’re aiming for is the more ‘western’ cartoon style rather than the anime-inspired aesthetic used in a lot of VNs. A good example would be Game Grumps’ Dream Daddy. 2) Background artist. 3) UI designer. This includes designing UI for the game in general and for the various minigames we’re including as part of the game’s mechanics. Also, you’ll be responsible for creating banner graphics (for example, for the Kickstarter page) 4) Any help with marketing would be highly appreciated Currently our team is: 1, 2) Enona & Marakh. Core of the project, narrative and development. 3) Petr. Programmer. 4) Dshpet. Composer. If you are interested PM me, or FB (ioanna.ferens) or telegram (@inkubb).

Hello everyone! We have recently launched our Kickstarter campaign for the first entry in our Crime Opera series! Kickstarter Page Here We would love for you all to check us out!

[Marching Band] [Otome] [GxB] [Romance, Comedy, Drama, Friendship, Mystery, Psychological Thriller] Rating: T (Language, Suggestive Humor, Violence, Instrument Abuse) Check Out Our Kickstarter Trailer! tumblr - youtube - facebook - twitter -STORY- "Band, Atten Hut!" Hello there! My name is Cadence. I’m a junior in high school and the new drum major of my school's band: The Blue Mountain Marching Bandits! I’m so excited (and a tad nervous...) for my first year in such an important role. I’ll try to be the very best conductor and leader I can! To be honest, the past few years have been rough for the Bandits...it’s been pretty demoralizing. Directors have been coming and going, students are dropping out, and competition scores have been lower than ever. But all of that is about to change! This year, we're getting a new band director named Mr. Victor Wiley, a passionate alumni of Blue Mountain High School. I can tell he's determined to salvage the declining band program and take us to new heights when competition season arrives, just like I am! For Band Camp this year, Mr. Wiley said we'll be going away to a literal camp in the middle of nowhere--to "focus on learning this year’s field show and attain the ultimate level of band bonding." Words cannot describe how much I’m looking forward to this! I’m going to use this precious time to grow as a leader and make tons more friends. After all, it’s a fresh new year filled with hope and opportunity. I hope the band is ready to experience plenty of blood, sweat, and tears, because this is going to be a marching band season unlike any other! -GAMEPLAY/FEATURES- In Band Camp Boyfriend, the player’s choices will greatly influence day-to-day events, Cadence's leadership style, and her relationships with other characters. Eventually, her choices will determine which boy’s route the player ends up on. FEATURES -At least 7 Story Routes -20+ Endings -20+ Unique Sprites with a Wide Range of Personalities and Expressions -At least 24 CGs -Original Soundtrack -Partial Voice Acting -Unlockable Sidequest -Band Geeks STATS? - Stats will remain mostly hidden from the player as we would like the focus to be on the unfolding story. We believe stat systems should serve the story first and foremost, and will be using them behind the scenes to assist in creating the most authentic and engaging experience possible. DIFFICULTY LEVEL - The game will be difficult enough that players have to use their heads when making decisions, especially in the latter half of the game. But it will not be so difficult that everyone will be absolutely required to use a walkthrough to reach all the true/good endings. There is some room for error. We're a bit traditional in the way that each character has one good or "true" end and one or more bad ends, with no "neutral" endings. However, we hope the bad endings will be satisfying in their own twisted way. They should be experiences players won't want to miss out on! -CHARACTERS- Each of the dateable guys is based on the popular personality stereotype of the instrument they play. For example, Peter the trumpeter has a huge ego and Clark the clarinetist is a no-nonsense perfectionist. There are many other personalities band musicians will recognize! Sprites by FloraDrawz -CG ILLUSTRATIONS PREVIEW- Some CGs will have Light Animations. Check it out here! -CURRENT DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE/PROGRESS- We are aiming to release our full game in June 2020! Here is our current progress, broken down by asset... The script will undergo a number of revisions over the next year, but here is the current progress on the draft for the full base game. As of October 2018, only Poptart's arc needs to be finished. Every other route is completely drafted and in the editing stage.

Check back periodically! -FEEDBACK- Don’t feel obligated to answer every question if you don’t always have something to say. Every bit of feedback matters! 1. What piqued your interest in this game? Are you/were you in band or do you play a musical instrument? 2. What do you think of the premise and setting? 3. What are your initial impressions of the dateable characters? Which one(s) stands out to you most, or which do you think you would pursue first? 4. What do you think of the protagonist? 5. Do you have any expectations? 6. Would you consider supporting the Kickstarter? 7. Any other questions, comments, suggestions or feedback?

KICKSTART A LOWLY SQUIRE'S LOVE LIFE! Love Esquire's Kickstarter is live now! The game still has a long way to go, but with your help, we can bring this game to life! Support us on Kickstarter and help us realize our dreams for the game! DOWNLOAD: WINDOWS • MAC • LINUX *Please take note that this is an alpha demo; everything is still a work-in-progress and may change in the final game. If you encounter any problems or bugs, please let us know ASAP! Don't forget to answer the survey found at the end for a special wallpaper! Love Esquire is a romantic-comedy visual novel/dating simulator, with a nostalgic touch of old-school RPG combat. In this game, you're not a famous knight, but a good-for-nothing squire who's on a quest to find man's greatest pleasure. Getting the girl won't be easy though, since most of them are waaay out of your league! To make things worse: you have a few months left before this huge war happens, and the only thing you know is how to milk cows. Good luck cramming years worth of training into four months! If it's any consolation, you get a medal if you die. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ No one believes that a lowly squire can save the world while banging – err, bagging – the girl of his dreams... but with a shitton of dumb luck, well... you might just prove them wrong! Welcome to the world of Love Esquire, and may the fertility god have mercy on your virginity. Nameable Hero – Whose name will these girls cry out during those scenes? You decide! 5 Dateable Waifus – More than just pretty faces, the ladies of Love Esquire have their own unique personalities, story arcs, and backstories! Turn-based combat with a twist – As a squire, you have a number of “unconventional” ways to assist your needy knight. Properly time your actions to unleash the full potential of your skills which are simply... out of this world! Manage your day – Allocate what little time you have in this world by forcing yourself to socialize or doing your job as a squire barely living on minimum wage. Git gud by raising stats – Stats will have an impact on your skills during combat, and they also affect your relationship with the girls. In other words, shape up to be the ideal man for the best results! Forge Relationships – Get to know your waifu on a personal level by being around her and talking about stuff. Sure, she’ll think you’re a creep at first, but persistence is key! As she eventually warms up to you, find out how there’s more to her than meets the eye. Multiple Endings – What’s waiting for your squire at the end of the journey? Make decisions that will end up great or turn out to be otherwise. Partially Voiced – So you can hear your waifus partially express their partially undying love for you! Mature Content – This game contains subjects and themes your parents warned you about as a kid. Moddable Content – The game will support simple modding on release. To be discussed in a future update. Original Soundtrack – We want you to experience the feels while playing this game, and our soundtrack will see to that! Having lived most of his life as a farm boy, you take control of the inexperienced and carefree Squire. Watch him grow to become the ideal man and overcome the various challenges he's yet to face. His fate (and virginity) rests in your hands. Depending on how smooth the development goes, we're looking at a late-2018 to mid-2019 release for Love Esquire. It will be distributed on Steam and Itch.io (Windows/Mac/Linux), followed by a mobile release (Android/iOS) a few months after. We don't have any plans for a console release, but that's something we might possibly consider once the game is out. The Letter was a successful Kickstarter project and a highly-rated game; it is our validation to everyone that we're not only capable of completing this project, but also delivering it up to standards. With your help, we're hoping Love Esquire to become our best game yet! What do you think of the game's concept? Do you like it? Hate it? What do you think of the characters currently presented? Do you have someone you find interesting in particular? Did you enjoy the RPG elements of the game? What were your favorite parts about it? Any other suggestions, comments, critiques?

We are happy to introduce Lisistrata, an unforgiving and unconventional RPG-Visual Novel hybrid that elevates the importance of Tactics, Choices, Character Progression and Resource Management. Immersed in an ancient Greece setting, you will recruit, train and lead a team of Athens’ young girls through battles, challenges, critical choices and beyond. It will be up to you to organize an effective rebellion against every man of Athens. It will be your responsibility to stop a war that has been endured for decades. Once inside the Acropolis everything will be in your hands. Choose different skills, improve buildings, elaborate new tactics, betray, seduce, be a diplomat or a warrior. The game (and its characters) will be shaped entirely by you. Inspired by Aristophanes’ great work Also known as the “Father of Comedy” and “The Prince of Ancient Comedy”, Aristophanes lived between 446 - 386 BC and inspired thousands of people in ancient Greece. We would like to do the same by bringing his legendary work back to life and expanding upon its original linearity while still remaining faithful to the source. “I’ve had enough of these wars!! Enough! We can not keep living like this!” “I'm tired to be neglected by my husband!! His sword will not warm his bed for sure! I've made up my mind: Starting from now we say no more! We shall strike!" “If they won’t listen to us, they will sleep alone from now on. It will be a torture for them!!” And so every woman in Athens left their home and took the Acropolis - the heart of the city, as well as the place where the most important resources are held. They decided to offer no more company or affection whatsoever to those man who have been so busy making war. Finding the means and forcing them to declare peace is your objective… ... but managing the Acropolis and your group at the same time while keeping the morale high, won’t be an easy task. Unlock new abilities, forge your character, make the Acropolis a safer place and assemble your team! Level up and make your build unique During the game you will be able to choose different abilities by gaining experience and leveling up your character. Feel free to choose what you like based on your playstyle, there is no best way to beat the game. 34 Skills gathered in 4 different branches. - Athletics - Intelligence - Charisma - Luck Of course it won’t be possible to unlock them all. Choosing your specialties and making decisions will be incredibly important and it will also increase the game replayability. (the image has been drastically reduced so it lost a big chunk of its original quality, sorry for that) Build the Acropolis Better walls, easier access to water or maybe earning the favor of the Gods? Everything counts! But consider… It will take time, which you won’t be able to spend to acquire new skills. Hmm, decisions, decisions… Every time you level up and/or between chapters the game will give you the following option: What shall we do? What you decide to do it's up to you. A better Acropolis will mean a better defense against incursions, better morale for your heroines and other buffs. There is a lot to build but those kind of improvements are designed to make the general environment a better place for you. On the other side, skills bring more specific bonuses. Of course the angry men and the soldiers will not remain idle for long. They didn’t like Lisistrata’s little plan one bit and they will do everything in their power to sabotage your rebellion. They will strike back quickly and it will be quite challenging to survive. Your Skills under a magnifying glass Everything you do, every path you take, every decision you make will present the player with small challenges to overcome: Skill checks. On a successful skill check the player may acquire various advantages that will help the game progression in general; upon a failed skill check the consequences may vary from minor to catastrophic and they may be suffered immediately or later in the game. Therefore, it’s not advisable to Swim if your character has not yet unlocked that ability, you may regret this... Death in this game is permanent. Turn Based Combat Strategize with party order, party composition, and unlocked skills against a huge variety of enemies. When diplomacy fails, it’s time to put your abilities to good use! Each one of our heroines have their own strengths and weaknesses so be careful and evaluate the situation very carefully before choosing who to bring with you in combat. Managing a good mix of abilities is the key to victory. Also we've added some modern RPG concepts on top of this structure; these include AoEs, DoTs, grapples and combos, creating a tactical battle full of depth. Who will oppose you... Our heroines! More characters to come! Also our game will feature voice acting and handmade frame by frame animations. Like some old anime we decided to refrain from using automatic lip sync and blinking. Here is the result: Thanks for reading so far! We are a young indie studio but this is not our first Visual Novel! We are always looking for new ways to improve so this time we decided to be as much open as possible towards the community. We learned from past experiences that getting some honest feedback is the most important part and this time we will apply this to the letter. - What do you think about our project in general? - Do you like our skill system and the possibility to build your character as you like? - Do you believe the RPG-VN mix could work? - Is there anything you would change or improve? We are eager to work with you guys and keep discussing with you about this project. This is our most ambitious work and we are very passionate about it, we really want to create something that will not be forgotten after a week... at least we hope so! =) We are on Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2044603064/lisistrata For daily updates check out our Twitter! https://twitter.com/NeoclassicGames If you don't use twitter so much, we have just created a Facebook page.

KICKSTARTER https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1406521641/bios-ex-a-psychological-visual-novel-game DEMO https://gogen-soft.itch.io/bios-ex-visual-novel When Eiza Gaido wakes up on the cold floor of a jail cell, his mind is completely blank. He remembers only two things: His name and that he’s not a terrorist. However, the government seems to think the opposite; they accuse him of a bombing attack to the local university of his hometown. The journals, the media, the police officers…everyone blames it on him. It’s a death sentence. But only if Ori Asylum will declare he was mentally stable at the moment of the attack, it seems there have been objections that have saved him from the grim reaper. To determine his psychological conditions, he’s sent to the psychiatric hospital in Sapporo; there, he finds himself trapped in an unsettling, suffocating reality that makes him doubt the truth of what he’s been told until then. Between mixed memories and unexplainable events, he meets three girls who’ll change his life: Innocent Shizune and her mysterious sketchbook, the alluring vice-director Nao and Supra with her sad eyes If Eiza wants to break free from his cage, he has no other choice than investigate and discover the truth about who he is and what he has done MUSIC To give a better feel old style we decided to use the YM-2608 sound chip (used for many pc-98 games like Yu-No) and some tracks accompanied by MIDI 90s Gameplay and INFO It’s a medium-length novel where the player can interact with the main characters and take crucial decisions that will shape the course of the story. The choices will mostly revolve around the type of attitude the player can assume in response to the characters they’re interacting with, and to the different mysteries they’re bound to encounter and deal with. There are two different routes per possibile love interest, a good ending and 2 bad ending, for a total of six routes. Once it will be reached the goal of 8500$, there will be the opportunity of playing the game from Supra’s perspective. There could be scenes classified as “ecchi”, but nothing explicit. CHARACTERS When Eiza wakes up in jail, he remembers only two things: His name and the fact that he’s not a terrorist, not matter what the government says. He dreams of flames and people screaming, but his instinct tells him he’s missing a piece of the puzzle; there must be more, another explanation. He knows he’s not a terrorist, but the world seems to think the opposite. If only he could remember… Nao’s the seductive vice-director of Ori Asylum. She moves like a queen between the peasants, her tone and words are aimed to please, tantalize and manipulate. Her sparkly eyes know more of what she lets surface, her taunting smirk is a dangerous provocation. She has one priority and it’s herself, she would do anything to protect what’s hers and obtain what she desires. Nao likes to play with people and uses it to her own advantage. She makes use of her power and influence to control the Asylum, even if she despises it and its guests Supra is one of the nurses at Ori Asylum. The woman hides every emotion and thought behind a cold mask of indifference or exasperation; she has a detached attitude and sharp tongue that make it difficult for others to approach her. However, when she’s treating her patients, or when she lowers her guard, a caring fondness emerges and gives the hints of a gentle heart. Supra rarely loses her temper, managing to keep under control both herself and the situation at hand. She’s the main responsible of the patients affected by dementia and other patiens like Shizune Shizune is a shy girl, patient of the Ori Asylum, who seems to have often her head in the clouds; she’s easily frightened and intimidated, but this is not going to stop her curiosity and gentle heart. Her kind smile is a balsam for the soul and, even if she speaks cryptically, a fond sweetness always lies in her tone. Her innocence and naivety resemble the one of a child, but that’s not a reason to underestimate her bravery or passion. Shizune likes walking in the garden or resting under a tree, with her precious sketchbook in her hands; she seems very protective of her drawings and never leaves it around CONTACT https://www.facebook.com/Gogensoft/ https://www.patreon.com/GogenSoft https://twitter.com/GogenSoft

The last hint Yuuki got was from the high school Saki had said she wanted to attend—Shimizu High School.

Turmoil of the Seven is live on Kickstarter now! Please check it out and play the demo if you're interested! Link to the demo: https://files.fm/u/x7gtdtye In the distant future, humanity embraces the end of the Crusade of Man an intergalactic war that left the entire galaxy unbalanced. The most weakest population, the humans, have now became the most powerful and dominant race in the galaxy. Xenophobia for many humans is a thing of the past, but now as a new era is ushered in, this encourages much nationalism and free thinking for many humans. The Alliance of Free Systems which is the most powerful nation out of the now emerging seven, no longer has its firm grasp on the universe. For many, it was perhaps the end of the Crusade of Man that caused humanity to split, but for others it was during the conflict that instigated a division of humanity. As this new era of revolutions and ideologies dawns, what are the chances of the full unification of humanity like in the past? Or perhaps humanity will be chastised by the other races of the galaxy, once the humans finish fighting among each other? Here are the main characters of the story: For more information on the characters and factions please check out the Kickstarter! Thank you all for taking time to view this post! I tried to make this post short and simple for everyone to read.

NOW LIVE ON KICKSTARTER: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/borokaistudio/omega-pattern-visual-novel OMEGA PATTERN The content of this post is available in Spanish on http://www.patronomega.com/es/kickstarter/kickstarter-patron-omega/ KICKSTARTER VIDEO FIRST PART The Omega Pattern's first part and free demo are already available on Steam (it has been Greenlit by the Community), Itch.io, Google Play and the App Store: http://www.patronomega.com/en/#download ANALYSES Cubed3 (7/10): "Omega Pattern HD is delightful, interesting, and above all else, worth the price of admission... It's going to be a lot of fun to see how this story progresses as the future episodes come out, as Shaiel's story is definitely going to feel unique amongst the many other entries in this genre." GameRamble (7,7/10): “The story is genuinely intriguing and the choices you get to make actually impacts the story, which is a nice touch... The soundtrack is really solid... Fans of the genre who don’t mind trading in length for replay value should definitely try out Omega Pattern.” Softpedia: “A very promising visual novel... Play your part in a strange world controlled by a powerful corporation and make the desired choices to steer the plot... Fight against an evil organization bent on ruling the world... Nice artwork and many choices to be made.” CGR (7,75/10): "At this current point, Omega Pattern is already a great title and it has me awaiting what comes next for my multiple versions of Shaiel and the decisions that have affected the men that he has become." Español Multianime (8.5/10): "La toma de decisiones es un apartado ampliamente diferenciador, ya que en Patrón Omega, dependiendo de las opciones que vayamos tomando, nuestro personaje irá evolucionando, incluso hasta en sus poderes, ya que El Patrón Omega depende de la personalidad del humano, y gracias al abanico de opciones, podemos rejugarlo y en serio se agradece bastante." Uvejuegos (7/10): "Buena historia, personajes interesantes (en su mayoría), critica social recurrente, lenguaje puramente español así como notable diseño visual y musical. Sin duda es un juego que debería llamar más la atención al público, y no sólo al experto en visual novels." WHAT MAKE IT DIFFERENT? Omega Pattern seeks to offer a more personal and deeper experience in the visual novel genre. In Omega Pattern, we ‘reinvent’ the visual novel concept by giving you the opportunity to choose the main character’s personality in a prologue where you will recall his past. Every personality defines a character with his own storyline which will change as you advance on the story and keep making decisions. The results will depend on the consistency of the character and the impact that your decisions have in the world. In addition to this, the narrative style is different from other visual novels, letting you get into the main character’s head instead of being a mere spectator. We avoid the use of tedious descriptions to explain what’s happening and make use of the main character’s reactions and thoughts to make the scenes more realistic. For example, we prefer to use ‘Shit, my jaw!’ instead of ‘He punches me on the chin’.” GAMEPLAY Omega Pattern is a Visual Novel which offers a variable multiple-choice decision system. This means that both the number of decision points and the number of choices or options that you will find in those decision points may vary according to your previous decisions during the game. SYNOPSIS The world where the Omega Pattern story happens is seemingly normal, similar to the one we live in. However, genetics and fate mean that a few individuals are born with a kind of Pattern or special brain signal which lets them develop unique and varied psychic skills that are determined by their life experiences, which form their behavior and character. From the shadows, an organization known as Bioagora controls the world according to its own interests thanks to the power and influences that they get, in part, from their Agents. These Agents are people who own the Pattern and have been coerced, bought, forced and even captured against their will to be brainwashed and indoctrinated, so they can faithfully serve the Bioagora. Shaiel (21 years old), a man who possesses the Pattern, has found himself forced to live in secrecy in order to avoid falling into the hands of the Bioagora. However, as time passes, it gets more difficult to escape from a power which is increasing exponentially. Seeking for allies has become an unavoidable, and it seems that the only alternative available are the Celtas; a small and poorly organized group with unorthodox methods, whose plan to face the Agents and restoring an order different to the Bioagora’s seems near impossible. As the rest of the population stay impassive in a gray world, Shaiel will have Shaiel to play his cards right and find out the truth hidden by the Bioagora, the Celtas and himself. FEATURES Become the Main Character: Decide what to do in the most relevant moments of Shaiel’s past. This will determine his current personality and therefore his psychic abilities and the decisions that you will be able to take in the future. 3 Story Lines: Access to 3 significantly different story lines, which means that you will have a high replay experience where you will find suspense, action, drama, comedy, horror and romance. +6 Hours: The variable multiple-choice decision system that we have implemented for the first part of the visual novel can grant you up to 6 hours of gameplay or more. Mobile Optimized: You will enjoy the same experience both in the Desktop (PC and Mac), Mobile and iPad versions. Full HD: 2048×1536 resolution for iPad users and 1920×1080 for Desktop and Mobile users. Manga Anime Style: 100% original illustrated material. Original Soundtrack: An OST that creates the perfect atmosphere in every situation. GALLERY CG Event Gameplay Decision Game Menu Main Menu Settings ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK Game Rumble: "...A really good soundtrack. None of the thirteen songs featured on the soundtrack sound like your typical visual novel fare and they all complement the mood of the game nicely. From sinister tracks like “Gurdjief Lessons” and “Death Valley” to melancholic ones like “In Memory Of” and whimsical ones like “Kids,” the songs are all really good..." Listen to the OST! THE FINAL PART: WHY KICKSTARTER? This Kickstarter campaign expects to get funding for the big final part of the visual novel. Borokai Studio is an indie group and Omega Pattern is his first indie visual novel. Besides being indie, Omega Pattern intends to be a very long visual novel (+40 hours). It’s impossible to afford this kind of project by an indie group without economic support, and here’s where the first part of Omega Pattern appears. We covered the first part expenses and released it without Kickstarter, Patreon or any kind of crowdfunding campaign because we wanted to show you the main concept of Omega Pattern (a visual novel where you define the main character’s personality and Pattern) before using this kind of resources. Omega Pattern is not an episodic visual novel. Our current intention is to release DLCs and bundles with the full Beast, King and Astral routes. The decisions you make in the first part give you access to these routes, but they won’t affect their course. This means that you don’t have to replay the first part again when we release the routes DLCs. The decision system that we’ll use for the routes won’t allow us to separate them into more parts since we want that every decision you make can cause an impact on the story as it advances as well as in the endings. Every route will be different and we’d like to give them an estimated duration of 12 hours or more. But don't worry, if we don't manage to fund the final part in this campaign, we will divide the final part into several DLCs depending on the amount pledged by the bakers and we will relaunch a new Kickstarter campaign with a lower goal in order to release the next Omega Pattern's DLC. COST BREAKDOWN Art (35%): Over 85 CGs, 85 BGs, 8 new major characters and several minor characters. We could decrease the number of BGs and increase the number of CGs. Writing and Translation (30%): The original Omega Pattern's script is written in Spanish and we will have to cover an English professional translation. Programming, implemmentation and administration (10%). Music (10%). Kickstarter (10%). Rewards (5%). STRETCH GOALS The Omega Pattern Kickstarter's main goal is 33.000€. If we reach it, we will try to improve the visual novel with these stretch goals. 38.000€: MORE ART. Over 100 CGs and 100 BGs. We could decrease the number of BGs and increase the number of CGs. 43.000€: R-18 CONTENT. We will include some erotic, soft and non-explicit content/scenes (Hollywood style). 65.000€: PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH VOICE ACTING. REWARDS Thank you (1€): Every dollar matters! Thank you very much!

Hello everyone. I have just updated my kickstarter campaign by adding a link to the demo (just the first few scenes). Please be aware that the music is just a temp track for the moment. Thank you for your patience. I hope you find it of interest. If there are any issues please let me know. I'll try to fix it as soon as possible. Thank you again. Joel Portillo Yelth+Zhana (Prologue: Dawn of Descent) KS yelthzhana01.zip Deep within the jungles of Mesoamerica, sometime after the Spanish Conquistadors established a foothold in the New World, a young man bent on vengeance accidentally calls down an evil as old as the universe itself. The consequences are not his alone to bear. Gameplay Yelth + Zhana is a visual novel. Similar to the adventure books of the 70s and 80s, the player is given an opportunity to interact with the story by choosing a path for the protagonist to follow. The path can lead to a "good", "bad" or "neutral" ending. Depending on the ending, the story may or may not continue onward. The ultimate goal for any player and completest is to discover all the endings. Game Art

Hello everyone. It is the first time I post here. I am new to the Visual novel genre and will be scoping out the rest of the forums for suggestions. In the meantime I am working on a visual novel (on my own) that I am hoping to complete. Please, if you have an opportunity, please visit my campaign. If you do not wish to contribute, its ok. If you have any input, I'd appreciate it. Thank you so much. Joel Portillo
