Update-ish (Patreon)

Just a small update on where things are atm:
  • Lasterk is still working on Bronn's Quest CG scenes. Some of these we've shared with $5+ patrons and $25+ patrons respectively. We don't share exactly everything though because we don't want to spoil the game just too much.
  • "AdeptusSteve", the guy who did the 3d animations we've been showing off, took a (sanctioned) break from working our stuff over the pasth month but will start working on the next scene in a week or so.
  • Graphics for Re:maid "turtle" and "bunnygirl" cheats are finished, just need to cut them out and implement them (which is partly my job - sorry about being the hold-up here, just been busy with other stuff, but I'll get to it soon).
  • We haven't heard back yet from the guy who was going to do the sample "AfterEffects" animation of one of the scenes from Re:maid - so we might as well announce it right here that we're looking for somebody for this (obviously paid) position! So if you know somebody talented in this field, let them know! We haven't made any real decisions on where we're going with this, whether it's an "animated edition" of Re:maid or for another upcoming title, it's something we're very interested in delving into in one form or other.

On that lat note, by the way... not an announcement or update or whatever but you might be interested to know we've been sort of toying with the idea of eventually moving to do a PROPERLY animated visual novel, i.e. not just AfterEffects but like an actual hentai OAV thing with lots and lots of hand-drawn animation. Like, actually hire a Japanese animation studio to do this, making it a ridiculously high-budget VN like the world's never seen before. This is of course nothing but dreams at this stage and would probably require us to hit at least $50K or a month or thereabout as proffessional animation sure doesn't come cheap, but... it's an intriguing idea, isn't it? And hell, nothing is impossible! I mean, who'd ever have guessed a game like "Breeding Season" would move to make over $35K a month?! Us reaching that level, if we play our cards right, might not be impossible. So here's to hope!

BigB out.

Regarding last point. Intriguing idea? No. First discover more or less how much costs it will be, for months, and how many months it will take. You will need an animation studio, you will need voices, you will need a lot of things... And you will need to pay them along your own workers. so beautiful idea but from my point of view, it is far from anything realistic. You see how hard and how many problems you have to do a game... And you want to move to a full animated one? It would be great but... From my point of view, almost impossible

That's rather pessimistic! "You see how hard and how many problems you have to do a game..." - no offense taken, but, I don't, really. In less than 1 year's time, we've released two fully finished titles. That's on par with the most effective VN studios out there, despite us being a very small and amateur outfit (none of us had any experience in this industry when we got started). Sure, there's been delays and so on and we're still figuring out a lot of stuff, as a fledgling infant studio - but I feel we're in a good place, and are only getting better. At any rate, I'm not talking about beginning this tomorrow - it's a possible long-term goal ("dreams at this stage", as I mentioned). Of course we'd meticulously research what the costs etc. would be before making anything resembling promises. But that's the point, all this could be outsourced, it's not as if we'd have to do everything ourselves, which is why it'd hopefully be manageable. While we value the feedback, I don't really agree with what you're saying. I think the bigger "threat" to the idea is that it might very well be the case that we never go anywhere near as high as $50K a month. But it's still a dream I like to entertain!

So you kinda want to try and go a "School Days" route, very admirable. I wish there were more fully animated ones.

Really moved by what you said! I truly appreciate your game which helps me relieve from the loneliness that suffer me a lot.(Though it's certain for our country's students.)Anyway,it's one of the best word games I have ever played in my country,for I can feel the native feeling of the writers.I really hope that you can make better progress in your games!(Though it's a pity that I don't know where to play the game about ish now....)

What would the world be without dreams, right? You need inspiration to make the perspiration worth the effort. Have you thought about looking for talented students (Vanarts?) looking to build a portfolio, or maybe you could find a freelancer(s) through a site like www.freelanced.com Just some thoughts. In any case, I don't see any reason to think your support base won't continue to grow, considering the quality of your work, so don't let anyone piss on your parade. And, as always, thanx 4 da info :D

A "sanctioned" break for AdeptusSteve? That's rather ominous, what happened? In regards to the other news and ideas: Yayyy!! Any news about the text for the "always nude" cheat for Re:maid?

"Sanctioned" as in "we ok'd it beforehand", not in the sense of "punishment." So not so ominous. :)

Thanks for the update.. I hope that everything continues to go well with you folks. And I think the idea of a movie would be very good. With all the talent on your team and possibility of even more talent I think it'd go great. Continue the great work guys. :)

All sorts of encouraging updates! You guys pulling out a hentai OAV in the future would be epic, and a worthy goal to work towards (along with the countless other goals you more than likely already have.) Excited for everything to come together as time passes.

Not an OAV though - a game with animations of that quality :) But heck, I guess really anytging is possible!

Any chance of adding maybe a bonus scene for Re:maid involving a threesome ending? Maybe just for patreons.

I'm happy to support you. I was a member of a much larger site but I feel better supporting indys who are putting out a good product.

Is Re:maid Plus still going ahead?

marblesyrup
>>1851857

it's a Patreon "goal" i.e. officially we'll start working on it when we hit $22K in pledges.

Munkyboy

Wow, a Re:maid plus would be awesome (fingers crossed), but those new cheats will do for now. And then there's Bron's Quest. Really too bad the zombie game fell thru tho :(

Yeah I agree with what you said. Animated VN is not something new - see School Days. It is a must-watch if you would like to make something similar. Be careful - those games are much more similiar to traditional Japanese VN and the file is often over 20G.

Re:maid is a great CYOA I loved the characters and story. hopes of sequels and other stories with our 3 sweethearts are well worth the pledging. Thanks MS

An animated visual novel from you guys would be freaking awesome - and in my opinion, the amount of money needed is totally achievable. I mean, you only actually released two games by now, and are already closing in on $20K. And from what we get to hear from you regularly it's clear you have many good ideas and concepts up your sleeve yet! Sure, you could get those ideas out in the open a little more quickly, but I have faith that's an issue of practice and routine that'll solve itself in due time. Btw, I think one of the reasons your work isn't more popular than it already is (as in, not as popular as I think it should be) is the lack of "fortitude" your main characters display. I mean, both your heroes are pretty much inferior to their partners in most of what the player gets to see, Nishi especially. The girls, on the other hand, appear to be strong and capable, taking a clear leading role in the story line. It's not much of an issue for me, because I really like strong women, but players that like to take a more active role in a relationship (or perhaps, experienced inferiority to the opposite gender in real life) may be put off by this. It's for that reason that I liked "Crusoe had it easy" much more than "Re: Maid" and its predecessor at first. Because in that game, while the heroine was still the one in charge there were situations in which the player could experience a sense of accomplishment - like when you could let Sophie have the last roots or the possibility to demonstrate your "navigator skills" on the last playable day. A feeling like "Yeah, my partner is badass, but I can handle things too!" In "Re: Maid", the only thing Nishi could do for his girl(s) was paying Hana's meal - aside from NOT going after them in lecherous ways. Recently though, I think I'd want Re: Maid to become a premium edition exactly to fix that... Long story short, I think it's great a game like "Bronn's quest" is going to come up next. It's a candy for players who like to be more dominant and will help broaden your spectre of pledgers. ...As I write this I sort of feel I might've written something like this already before. Oh well. Better said twice than never. Really looking forward to your next piece, and eventually that animated one. I truly believe you can do it! P.S.: Any news on the Re: Maid extra chapter frontier?

marblesyrup

The expanded Re:maid Plus story would probably allow Nishi to be a proper hero (or, you know, not).

Sorry to be a bother, but are there any further updates as of late?

Mindshard Studio

I'm just going to say, a VN from you all with animated CGs...*drools*

Would you tell us a new story? (:

Tristan Neese

Did you ever get that AfterEffects person like you wanted? Cause I may know a guy if not.
