Slice of Venture Remake v0.1 is now out! (Pixiv Fanbox)

Patches are gone. The links below are now fresh with all the corrections brought from before (there shouldn't be any major bug left for now.)

That's it!

It's finally ready! And it took me exactly 4 months (I started working on it on Monday 22nd January). The preparation work started much earlier of course, back when I was still working on TH2, but still :p

So, I'd like to be rather quick in my post so I'll divide it in two: what you'll find and what's to expect in the June update.

I'll first go with the content of this update: the whole main story playable (tidbits missing notably the whole thing with Riki, Tetsu, Kentaro and the Ayame figurine), 6 H scenes + 5 cut-in H scenes (sorts of mini-H content) + 1 Non-H scene, lots of new music and a couple borrowed to SoVO for cohesion purpose (if you don't play with the sound, please do, the game doesn't have H sounds, and I really do my best to have good music with the setting :x), Soul Mate: the card game completely implemented (even if there are still things to improve), 14 facesets for all the main characters, lots of maps etc... (you don't care about the rest anyway XD)

There is no Changelog of course. These start being done at the second version.

When I'm writing those lines, I've just finished testing the whole game and to be totally honest, I think it's easily the game where I'm the most satisfied by the H scenes. Not in terms of writing (you'll be judge but I can hardly judge myself) but in terms of look. The coloring is GREAT and the liquids are great as well. I'm glad we lost so much time with Peak to come up with a proper design for wetness, cum, smegma... The result is just awesome. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do. As for the story, I hope you'll like the things that will change. Just like with SoVO I kept things similar and completely removed elements I disliked. So yes, in terms of pure story-telling, things that have been removed were removed solely because I didn't like them, not because I cut corners. Two examples coming to mind: Yuki's dream and Reiko's hypnosis. Both those scenes had been implemented because of constraints I had back in the days. I don't have them anymore so they're really unfitting, hence why everything revolving around that content has been removed. Some of you might be sad to see that, but wait until I've given birth to everything I want to show in the game, and you'll probably reconsider :p

So yes, the current H content is "tame" (it's not really, it looks tame because it's all happy but don't worry, most scenes are still naughty :p) but I'm sure the pics will compensate for those who want more.

And then, there's June update.

If you didn't read the previous post I'm planning an extra update in June before working on the post-game content because there are too many things that we couldn't implement because of time constraints. Knowing that this June update was a thing kinda made me rush a bit the last two playable periods of the game (notably in terms of NPC, it'll feel a bit empty :x), but it's a first version after all. Among the things that aren't in the game but will be added for the June update are the missing H scenes (3 if everything goes well), trophies, a proper gallery, a proper faceset for some characters, small side scenario elements (like the one I mentioned above), improvement of Soul Mate and small elements to tweak or add to have a proper full main scenario finished and be able to move on to the post-game content.

Needless to say that I haven't released a new game like this for a while (more than two years) so do not hesitate to share your opinion. Even if it's negative, as long as there are arguments (unlike what some of the troglodytes at F95 are producing) I'm totally fine. Feedback is very important. Of course bug reports are as well, so feel free to bombard me with those.

I'm going to take a day or two off (don't worry I'll still be around to correct bugs), and after that I'll take several days to work on everything else I've delayed to speed up this release. The artists will keep on working on the game so I should be able to go back to it very quickly and prepare the June release.

That's all for the talking, here are the links. I remind you that RPG Maker MZ does NOT export games for Linux but I'm sure there are tons of way to play Windows RPG Maker games under Linux.

One last thing: For the $15 patrons. The CGs are a bit tricky for this game. For some reason most H parts are cut into several pngs that you add up to each other and as such I can't really provide the game CGs as is. It will take me more time to create the CG pack so you'll have to wait until probably the end of the week to get it (and I'll also throw a poll to know how you want things to be handled)

A second last thing specific to Fanbox: With that release, I'm forced to delete the remaining old plans (for fairness reasons.) Meaning I'm going to lose a bit more than 30 patrons who haven't changed their pledges (they're all $5 or $10). So I'm gonna get a rather big loss out of that. I know it's a bit stupid to write it here since the concerned people won't be able to read it but I thought I'd write it somewhere because it has to be.
