Steam's Next Fest has started, and that means that The Velan Reach chapter 1 is available as a demo on Steam for the rest of the month.

Go here to grab it, and wishlist it if you haven't done so already.

FAQ:

Q: When will you officially release The Velan Reach on Steam?

A: If the demo does well on the Next Fest, maybe sooner rather than later. If it doesn't do well, I have more work to do.

Q: Can I help the demo do well?

A: Yes, you can! You can grab the demo on Steam, install it, and maybe rack up a little bit of playing time. And wishlist it. Doing those things will show the algorithm there's an interest, and that means more people will get to see it on their feeds. You can also post something positive in the Community Hub.

Q: Any new content?

A: It's chapter 1, plus a few images showing what people can expect from future chapters (the three "preview" images I've posted these last two weeks), and a first draft of audio descriptions. If you played chapter 1 already, there isn't that much new content.

After playing through again, I noticed that during the take off sequence, there is a line "At point nine and steady, sir." which is attributed to Captain Gunn but should be said by Mr. Prattle. Which brings up a point, in the future what is the best way to submit a bug?

There's a channel on Discord, but anywhere I see it is good really, this works too. Cheers!

Came over from the TVN demo. Good starting chapter. I really dig the character models, they look unique from other vns. How much longer to full release?

Naughty Road

Cheers, glad you liked it! I hope to release into early access before the end of the year (and if all goes well adding chapter 2 to it not long after), but right now I'm working hard to build awareness for the game before I pull that trigger so it doesn't flop really hard on release. 😅

The art design is quite unique—distinct from most other ANV games—and the fact that the characters have individual physical traits is a great touch that many other games overlook! I’m just wondering: will there be actual sex animations added later, rather than those "page-flipping" style movements? If so, I believe it would really enhance the game as a whole.

Naughty Road

Thank you. At this time, I've got no plan for full animations. I have no experience creating those myself, and they're not good fits to composited images (that allow me to carry on an interactive dialog as the action unfolds), nor to dforce draped hair/clothes/fabrics that I often use, as those tend to look jumpy and wrong in animations. If the game performs exceptionally well, it is something I could consider contracting out for, for short, not-interactive sequences, but as of this moment, it's not really on the roadmap, as it's a lot of extra time and effort for a handful of 5/10 second loops.
