Huge Game Announcement (Patreon)
Content
Hi, Luvipi here❤️ I wanted to make an announcement!
In between cooking up comics, I’m making something else too. I’m developing a new game set in the world of Dark Chalice. It's called Dark Chalice: Frontiers!
Since this project is being developed separately with a small team, we decided to give it its own Patreon page. This will keep the game’s updates, builds, previews, and news in one place.
Dark Chalice: Frontiers is still in its early development stages, so if you’d like to help fund the project and follow its progress, please consider supporting it on Patreon
A very short Demo will be out next month!
Video Preview
I’ve prepared a short video preview of Dark Chalice: Frontiers!
I can’t embed the video directly here, so I’ve uploaded it to my Google Drive instead. Check it out below:
This is an early look at the game, so many things may still change during development.
What Kind of Game Is It?
Dark Chalice: Frontiers is a dark fantasy adventure with light novel storytelling, resource management, relationship building, exploration, and branching choices.
You play as an adventurer living in a frontier town with your party. During the weekdays, you take odd jobs, earn money, improve your stats, buy supplies, repair equipment, and prepare for the next contract.
The party has to survive from week to week. If you cannot afford the required living costs when the next week begins, the game ends.
On weekends, you accept contracts and leave town to explore dungeons, investigate ruins, search forgotten places, and uncover dangerous secrets.
And ofcourse! The main focus is transformation and corruption! (with spicy scenes too!)
While exploring, you may discover hidden artifacts, cursed objects, forbidden rituals, and other sources of corruption. These discoveries can slowly change the party, even when there is no obvious danger.
Your contracts and decisions can permanently affect their bodies, appearances, abilities, personalities, and desires. The protagonist can also be transformed, including changes to their body or gender.
Some changes may help you survive. Others may be dangerous, humiliating, or impossible to reverse. Corruption can unlock new story routes, but it can also lead to darker endings.
The game is designed for replayability. Different choices lead to different discoveries, transformations, story branches, and endings. You may discover an entirely new route because of one terrible decision made with absolute confidence.
Patreon-Based Development
The new Patreon will support the ongoing development of Dark Chalice: Frontiers.
I’ll share development updates, screenshots, previews, behind the scenes information, and new builds as the project grows. The current plan is to provide meaningful updates every month.
As development continues, updates may add new weeks, contracts, daily events, locations, artifacts, transformations, story branches, and endings.
The first release will be a smaller starting point. The game will continue to expand through future updates.
Transparent targets
It's not been updated yet, but I want to make sure people who support us know what they're putting their money into! Added development public-facing board so you can get the timeline of things that will be implemented, and also maybe fan-requested features!
Expanding the Dark Chalice Universe
Dark Chalice: Frontiers is the beginning of a larger Dark Chalice universe.
It gives me the chance to explore the setting in a more interactive way, with new characters, regions, factions, mysteries, artifacts, transformations, and stories.
The world will grow alongside the game, and future updates may reveal parts of Dark Chalice that have never appeared before.
Discord Community
Patrons will also get access to a dedicated Discord server for Luvipi Games and (eventually for Luvipi page too)
This will be a place to discuss the game, share feedback, talk about updates, and follow development more closely. Higher Patreon tiers may also receive exclusive roles and access to special polls that help influence selected development decisions.
The game is still in its early stages, so having a community involved during development will mean a lot!
And finally, Appreciation
This project would not be possible without everyone who supports my work. Every bit of encouragement, interest, and support means a lot to me.
I’m still working out many of the details, so the story and systems may change during development. Please expect a small beginning, but hopefully something that can grow into a much bigger adventure.
Thank you for following along, and I hope you’ll join me on this new project!
Stay tuned!
Love, from Luvipi ❤️
