GOOD LUCK BABY | Best Girl

Yuri fans, a new game is coming from a very special developer, here’s GOOD LUCK BABY! An exciting EVN from the lovely individuals that brought us LOVE BAKUDAN just last year. LOVE BAKUDAN, of course, being their first crowdfunding project. Furthermore, it was an insanely good one as it featured unique characters and a colorful story with an even more colorful setting. Now come back to present day and Noodletub is back with an even more exciting project. Follow the exciting tale of Hifumi and Kasumi and their unique set of circumstances. The campaign has another 27 days left as of this writing and already has funding in the rearview mirror. However, there are many wonderful stretch goals to get to, including more art and routes. When you consider what Noodletub has done in the past, these are necessary. Go chip in $10 and look forward to the game!

So what’s the story of GOOD LUCK BABY! about?

Having a stroke of bad luck sucks. Having a few weeks of bad luck is even worse. That’s something Hifumi Tanaka unfortunately learns first-hand. Stubbing her toe one too many times, losing her wallet on the train to the city, getting to school two hours late… this unrelenting streak of misfortune makes her cry out in frustration to the universe. “Can’t something good happen for once?!”

Hifumi’s luck begins to turn around upon meeting the famous delinquent Kasumi Itou. Even though she’s known at school for being trouble, the reality is that Kasumi is a funny, level-headed girl with a heart of gold. Just as their mutual crushes on each other begin to bloom, they are met with one heck of a surprise…

A baby with a halo sitting happily on Kasumi’s doorstep!

Meeting this baby changes not just the lives and luck of our girls, but the entire world – and maybe even the galaxy – as we know it. Can they evade the looming shadow of a mysterious villain known only as “Empress Metis” long enough to get this baby back home?

Yoshitaka Amano's VR Museum

Yoshitaka Amano is not an artist who needs introduction, especially if you’re into anime and video games. The famed painter – who began his work in the1970s with Gatchaman and went on to create Vampire Hunter D and a huge swath of mainline Final Fantasy characters – is no stranger to art exhibits, but the Yoshitaka Amano’s VR Museum is a first for both the creator and his work.

Billed as the “biggest Amano exhibition ever” with more than 100 works of art, the team behind the VR Museum has turned Amano’s artwork into fully-realized 3D models. According to the Kickstarter, it took 3D modelers more than 10,000 hours to have work presentable for the campaign. Amano as well has been hands-on with the project, “from the structures, interiors and lighting of the museum to the details and visuals of the artworks.”

Yoshitaka Amano's VR Museum

Amano writes:

Dear All,

This is Yoshitaka Amano. First, I’d like to thank you for checking out this project, whether you’ve already supported it or not.

In the past 50 years, I’ve been very blessed to be able to express myself through my works. To receive so much love from people around the world is beyond anything I can ever imagine. I am very thankful, truly.

My style has been deeply influenced by mythology and fantasy; I often imagine a new, mystic universe where all my drawings and creations come to life. To me, art is a place where I can truly be who I am and unleash my imagination, and I’ve been looking for a way to present it to those who appreciate my art.

Now, with this VR Museum, I am more than excited to invite you into my world of wonder.

As of writing, the Kickstarter has blown away its initial $9,951 goal and is sitting at $80,054 with 360 backers and 19 days to go. The Yoshitaka Amano’s VR Museum will be accessible through smartphone, PC, and VR headset.

NekoNyan | Cafe Stella

The news drought is over, NekoNyan is ready to bless you with many reveals! One of the most prominent visual novel publishers of late took to Twitter to reveal their secrets. In particular, the secret projects that has many thinkers speculating. The news comes ahead of their immensely successful Kinkoi: Golden Loveriche Kickstarter. How successful was it, you may ask. To clarify, the Kickstarter ends with a wonderful 1,122 people contributing €99,432! We hope you went and supported them and properly congratulate them! While everyone’s celebrating, NekoNyan asks that you party harder as they won’t stop with this campaign. Five secret projects appear today alongside a project update. All from the same wonderful developers you’ve come to know from previous releases: Asa Project, Smee and Yuzusoft! Furthermore, one is releasing next month! It is truly the perfect time to be a fan of visual novels.

So what are the projects announced in NekoNyan’s blog post?

First up is Ren’ai Karichaimashita or Koikari: Love for Hire:

After the success of Sankaku: Love Triangle Trouble, we are pleased to announce we are currently in the process of translating one of Asa Projects’ newer projects, Ren’ai, Karichaimashita, or “Koikari”! With the fresh English title “Koikari: Love for Hire!”! This one builds on AsaPros experience with comedy and insanity, you (a siscon) take on the job of a “boyfriend/Onii-chan/other for rent” to pay your way through school, and shenanigans ensue!! We hope you are looking forward to it!

Next is the highly-anticipated new release from Yuzusoft!

This time it’s their newest project, Cafe Stella! Yuzusoft brings us another masterpiece of slice of life mixed with plot and incredible art in this story of a Cafe, Grim Reapers, pancakes, coffee, and love!

Coming on April 30th, Smee’s very own Sugar Style.

This time around it’s about your boy Oribe Kazuki, who has been through a bit of a rough time because of his parents’ irresponsible money management. But that’s all about to change, as he’s about to enter a vocational college for digital music creation! That is until he discovers the dorm he’ll be staying at is an all-girls dorm! He’s rather unpopular with the residents at first, and you’ll follow along with him as he tries to gain their trust.

The party doesn’t stop here, as Laplacian enters the fold with Future Radio and the Artificial Pidgeon.

A unique tale in which the artificial pigeons were initially created as a worldwide wireless network that covers the entire globe.But one day, they turned and began to eat the same airwaves they were meant to carry. They feast on radio waves, breeding uncontrollably until they’re the only birds left in the sky. You follow the story of Sora, a young tinkerer working on a new type of radio to regain the sky for humanity.

Last, but certainly not least, please welcome Purple Software’s very intriguing Aoi Tori!

The main character is a priest, the only male allowed at an all-girls boarding school. He also has a special power that lets him bring bliss to those he touches, and that power is amplified if the contact is sexual in nature- resulting in the students of the school often coming to him for “guidance”…  Follow along with Ritsu as the story progresses, with him unable to leave the school grounds due to the demons outside who lust after him. We hope you’re looking forward to one of Purple’s best titles!

So many pieces of wonderful news, and it doesn’t even end there. To clarify, if you read the blog posts, you’ll find even more announcements! This includes the HD remaster of Dracu-Riot. Do you remember Making Lovers? How about a fan disc for you. In addition to those two, how about the localization of Kinkoi’s fandisc just for being a tremendous audience? There’s so much to appreciate. However, it’s all coming very soon. We hope you prepare adequately and be ready to support the publisher as they continue to conquer the publishing landscape. In addition, want to support what NekoNyan has right now? Consider visiting their store and trying out the stories yourself.

Kinkoi: Golden Loveriche | STRETCH Goals

The ever-so amazing folks at NekoNyan have a surprise for you with Kinkoi: Golden Loveriche! The company is working adamantly for the localization of SAGA PLANET’s very popular story. However, they want to do more. How much more you ask? How about a physical edition for all those very eager fanatics? Say no more because as of five hours ago such a campaign is here! The hit 2018 story is now coming with many wonderful exclusive goodies as we near the May 2021 release window. Wait? Why am I already talking like it’s done? Well because it is. Now approaching over $30,000 at the time of writing, when the campaign only needs $6,000. An insane amount of support, but more needs to be done to unlock more exclusives! So go forth and do your research on the game, wait for the demo and back away! We’re rooting for you NekoNyan!

So what is Kinkoi: Golden Loveriche about that has people so hyped anyways?

Noble Private Academy. An institution where future men and women of great wealth are cultivated. It is a boarding school where students aren’t merely educated, but also taught dignity.

This year, a sense of urgency hangs over the academy as a member of a royal family from a Northern European country has been invited to attend.

In an unexpected turn, the princess takes a liking to our protagonist, Ichimatsu Ouro, and he is forced to attend Noble Academy alongside her. That is when he ends up crammed into a vacant room in a nook of the women’s dormitory…

Kinkoi: Golden Loveriche is scheduled to release in May 2021. The demo will be releasing in the coming weeks. The full game will be priced at around $35 based on Kickstarter price. Please support NekoNyan’s efforts!

Swimmer Admiration | ART

How about something a little more relaxing, meet Swimmer Admiration! The latest crowdfunding project from PUSH Publication is here! Furthermore, I’d argue it’s the sexiest one yet. As you can tell, there’s going to be very beautiful women in swimsuits.  However, that’s not the entire picture. However, not everything is eye candy around these parts. Heed to this warning as you gaze into those beautiful bodies, you have no clue what awaits. Then again, you can play the demo and get informed right away! Enjoy a wonderful preview of the 6+ hour long story and magnificent art with a few clicks. If you really like what you see, you can secure a copy for $20 between now until next month.  It’s quite a surprise to see, but no doubt in my mind that you should be checking this one out. Kasumi is best girl.

So what the heck is Swimmer Admiration about anyways?

Ishihara Kasumi’s a Japanese student attending as a freshman at an Australian college. She’s wanted to study in this college ever since heard that her favorite swimmer, Zoe Kaplan, is also studying there. Dying to join the swimming club, she manages to pass the selection test and can’t wait to train with her idol. However, Kasumi soon finds out that all that glitters is not gold.

Personally, I’m very much looking forward to the title. Having Lynus as your artist is such a tremendous choice. Furthermore, the fact that there’s more going on than just girls in swimsuits is perfect. Bait them in and close the door. Things are going to get very crazy. They’re over halfway to their funding goal at the time of writing but don’t relent! With your help, we can secure more art, animations, and even voice acting. Let’s show our support to Push’s project together!

Apparently the video is too spicy to link externally, but I might as well leave it here for ease of access. Enjoy!

The post (18+) INTERVIEW: Girls! Girls! Girls!? appeared first on oprainfall.

Myosuki Girls Girls Girls | Girls

In the wake of Kickstarter season, several projects have come and gone, but none are like Girls! Girls! Girls!?. The exceedingly promising visual novel by Myosuki has been on the crowdfunding platform for three weeks already. In that time, they’ve managed to accumulate north of $40,000 USD getting them super close to funding. To clarify, they need at least $50,000 USD for the game to be a reality. The campaign is far from over and this writer, who is in love with the demo, has many questions. As such, Operation Rainfall reached out to Myosuki to get additional information regarding the origins and future of the project. The following is a result of such conversation with the head of the studio who was so grateful for the opportunity. Please consider reading and pledging towards the campaign! You will not regret it.


Introductions are important, please tell us who you are and what have you done leading up to this grand crowdfunding campaign.

Hello, I am Toffee San, and I am the Founder and CEO of Myosuki, a brand-new startup visual novel studio based in Tokyo, Japan. Our main goal is to become a well-established brand in the western market, known for creating heartwarming stories with compelling art, and touching soundtracks. Even though we are a brand-new startup, our team consists of industry veterans, who have been working on multiple major projects over the years. So, we have a lot of experience onboard. We are currently developing our first visual novel, “Girls! Girls! Girls!?”. A visual novel about friendship, crossdressing, and romance with four adorable, charming “girls” in maid costumes. We are doing the crowdfunding project, to help us secure the necessary funds so we could continue the development and produce a high-quality experience, which will be in loved and be memorable for years to come.

Myosuki Girls Girls Girls | Maids

Before I go into details about the campaign, I want to know more about the game itself. Stories about cute maids in cafés have several iterations, but yours has a hidden surprise. Beautiful girly boys with a range of personalities that cater to everyone. How did you and the team decide to work on this kind of game? Furthermore, what do you find so magical about them?

We do get that question a lot and we have a simple answer to that. We love maid cafés, and we like otokonokos! Thus, we bring them together, and boom, Girls! Girls! Girls!? is born! But the reality is, we have been always fascinated by maid cafés and what a unique experience it brings whenever you visit one. But that is on the surface. Under all those glamour and fun and quirky attitudes of a maid café waitress, there is a person, who has their struggles, difficulties, and dreams. We wanted to explore that human connection and showcase a different perspective that is not usually shown in other similar games.

Not only the waitresses, but also the struggle and ups and downs the cafĂ© management goes through as well. The main characters being femboys brings that extra uniqueness and wow-factor that gives us a bit more complexity. This sets us apart from the competition. The “girls” are complex characters, with deep lore and backstories, which the players can get behind, and fall in love with them even harder. This makes them quite magical. Also, the industry lacked visual novels featuring cute crossdressing boys, so we felt obliged to fill that gap too.

When you play the Girls! Girls! Girls!? demo, you see many colorful backgrounds and character art as well as very expressive Live2D models. In short, this is a visual novel with a lot of assets. In fact, this is an industry level visual novel which undoubtedly comes with industry level costs. I understand how much you love otokonokos, but making the financial evaluation couldn’t have been easy. Did you always plan for this to be a ‘go big or go home’ type project?

It is funny you mentioned the term “go big or go home.” We used to say this term a lot during the first initial phases of the development and when we were deciding on the scope of how major we wanted this project to be. But from the very beginning, we knew we wanted to do something big and something unique to everybody else, so we knew he had to bring our very best and blow everyone away. An example I can remember a few months ago when we were discussing animations and how amazingly costly it would be to implement. I remember, the producer, Jun said, “Hey, we go big or go home. Let’s do this!”.

Indeed, it turned out to be true and the project is quite costly. Time and effort aside, we have also invested a great deal of our own money to bring this project to where it is today. We have industry level cost, and the Kickstarter will definitely help. Frankly, $50,000 is still not enough to fulfill the greater vision we have for this project, such as introducing full Japanese voice acting, more robust, and unique animations. So, if we reach the stretch goals, or get additional funding from the fans later, we may be just able to do that.

Myosuki Girls Girls Girls | Choices

On the subject of art, it’s certainly solidifying itself as the selling point of the game. What was the scouting process like that led you to your current team? In addition, once you found them, what instructions did you give to really bring these characters to max cuteness?

That is an interesting question. The most important aspect of developing a visual novel, is to find the perfect artist. Believe it or not, we first met the artist, tommydashen, by complete chance when me and the producer Jun, was visiting the Comiket 94 back in 2018. We came across the artist’s stall randomly as we were roaming and completely fell in love with the art style right there. The team knew he would be the perfect artist for Girls! Girls! Girls!?, so approached him, shared our visiting cards, and the rest is history. We already had made PowerPoint slides with the character concepts, and we sent it over to him and he loved it and started working on the character design. All credits go to tommy for making the “girls” adorably cute.

As we approach the halfway point, I want to discuss something I’m really passionate about: NSFW content. I will avoid telling the full tale for spoiler reasons, but in the demo there’s a teaser of great things to come when it comes to lewd action. What can fans expect from Myosuki’s writing and art team when it comes to the acts of perversion? Will we see animated scenes? Will our character be on top or bottom? These questions and many more need answering, so please tell us all about it.

Although we intended to make this game somewhat SFW, with “occasional bulges” and fan-service scenes, we soon realized we’d be doing the majority of our fanbase a great deal disservice, since they also wish to have some sort of lewd scenes with their favorite “waifus.” So, we knew we had to go to the best in this field for advice. We partnered up with a major hentai publication company, PUSH! Publication, to help us make the adult patch for this game. PUSH! will be providing the technical support and will be producing the NSFW content for this game, while the core team will focus on creating a solid storytelling experience.

So, we can assure you, the NSFW scenes will be top-notch and the best the industry can offer, since we are bringing major expertise on board. For the question of will there be animated scenes, the answer is, yes, but not for all of them. Only some major scenes will have animation. As for who will be on top or bottom, we will leave it out for you to guess, as you would have to find it out playing the full game for yourself.

Mysoku Girls Girls Girls | Lewd Tease

A couple days prior to the writing of these questions, a Q&A event happened on your Discord server. Many meme questions and genuine concerns are present, but one fashionably stood out for me that was promptly answered by your writer. To clarify, I’m talking about the possibility of playing either as a male lead or a female lead. Seeing as how we just came off the NSFW question, I must ask if this is something that’s being considered for the full release as it would add layers of intricacy.

To be honest, we intended to have the protagonist predominantly a male character. But a lot of fans, especially our female fans, have reached out to us and expressed their wishes to have an option for a female lead. Our lead writer later proposed that there is a possibility we could implement this. Right now, we are taking this just as a consideration, and we cannot say for sure that we will have that option in the final version of the game. But there is a high probability. We must make a lot of changes and modifications to core game mechanics, the scripts, and the engine itself too. We must also take the NSFW scenes into consideration.

So, for now, we have a long discussion with the team ahead of us before we come to a solid conclusion. So, what I will say, is that stay put for now. We will let our fans know our final decision in near future.

Finally, let’s talk about the campaign itself. You need $50,000 to make this game a reality, that is a huge number when you consider what visual novel campaigns are earning on average. How confident were you and the team in reaching this number prior to the launch versus now at the halfway mark?

We were quite confident. We had the support of PUSH! Publication, since they are a veteran in running successful Kickstarter campaigns. Our initial target was to reach 50% of the funding goal within the first 72 hours, which we did. As of right now, we have reached more than 80% of the funding goal and we still have 10 days left. So, we are confident we will reach our funding goal, and maybe some stretch goals. It is always unpredictable till the last day. We are thankful to all our backers who backed this project and shared it around.

They say major campaigns like this one are a real learning experience. With this in mind, I want to know what you have learned, whether analytically or simply, about your fans during this period of time? Furthermore, how much of this knowledge is currently influencing the direction of your game?

We learn a lot from doing a major project like this. The team gets valuable feedback from the players and backers and use those feedback to consistently make ourselves better. We have built this community in Discord, where we connect with our fans and they give us feedback, send well wishes, and overall have a great discussion on various topics. We have asked the fans what kind of rewards we could offer in the Kickstarter, and they have given us thoughtful suggestions, which we have added to our Kickstarter campaign. Not only that, but they also gave us suggestions on where to go and promote our game, or which influencers we should contact, etc., which is quite helpful.

People voiced their wishes of having a female lead there, so we are considering that. This way the community is direct participation in the development of this game. The feedback from fans, from all our social media, Discord, and Kickstarter combined, just helping us make a better game and we are just thankful and blessed to have such a wonderful community.

Sometimes I need to remind myself that real people are working on these games. How have you fared mentally and physically over the course of the funding period? Any bad habits being developed, or has it really been smooth sailing from start to now?

We are indeed living in very challenging times, with the pandemic still going on. Everyone is working from home and trying to stay safe and motivated as possible. Seeing the project so close to reaching its funding goal does make us quite happy, and reading inspiring comments from the fans saying how much they loved playing the demo motivates us a lot. Personally, it has been quite an emotional roller-coaster for me, as it is a bit worrisome and stressful to monitor the Kickstarter all the time. But as the project reaches its funding goal, it is making me a bit more relieved each day.

One bad habit would be checking the email and Kickstarter page consistently, seeing for any changes or comments, checking Twitter and Reddit every few minutes. But that just comes with the job. Overall, the experience has been quite rewarding so far.

Lastly, the final question is here. What would you say to potential backers, your current backers, and anyone else either in between or on the fence with regards to your game? What are your plans moving forward?

Girls! Girls! Girls!? is our first visual novel, where we have put our hearts and souls into. It is a heartwarming story about friendship, crossdressing, and romance, with four adorable, charming “girls” in maid costumes. We are currently doing a Kickstarter project to help us make this project a reality. We also have a short demo now playable on Steam and itch.io. So, we invite you to come and play our game.

Kosmos Connections | Best Girl?

Life is all about second chances, which is why I believe Kosmos Connections deserves your attention.  To clarify, this is the two-in-one visual novels from the very talented people in Thetau Games. You may recall this title as it previously was on the crowdfunding platform back in February. Sadly, the initial campaign was unsuccessful. However, the team is back with a new vision, but same passion and are really close to obtaining funding. This one flies under many radars, but the demo tells a very interesting story that I can no longer ignore. As always, I could write a million words about why I like this demo, but ultimately it comes down to you. I encourage you to try the demo and afterwards consider giving the developers $15. That amount is enough to secure your copy and inch the team closer to a successful campaign.

So what is Kosmos Connections about?

Welcome Back to Kosmos!

After being gone for eight years, Adelfos (the player) returns with his sister Runia to spend the last week of winter vacation in their hometown of Kosmos. Upon arrival, Adelfos meets up with his childhood friend, Tau Theta, who soon convinces him and her new friend Jennavieve Caeda into becoming testers for her visual novel – Uplink Alethia. However, as the group plays more of Tau’s game, the more her reason for creating it become increasingly questionable…

There’s also the second game! What’s Uplink Alethia about?

Kazuhira Hatanaka is the man behind the Soul Uplink, a machine that uploads people’s souls to a digital world called the Datascape. However, when his assistant Nona runs the first test, it all goes wrong. She finds something in the Datascape that shouldn’t be there; something that gave her a sense of loss


Will you be able to connect with those in the town of Kosmos and find a deeper meaning from within Uplink Alethia, or will you instead continue to take the world at its face value.

LIP! Lewd Idol Project | Selfie

The days have come and gone, and now we have a new Toffer Team game in LIP Lewd Idol Project! To clarify, this comes as a result of a series of Toffer twitter posts. Many of which involve the new face of Toffer Team, the main character by the name of Kairi. With many of her cute expressions appearing on the timeline multiple occasions, speculation was ongoing regarding a potential title for the cutie. Today, we have our answer and it’s a good one. The very proud lewd adventure game developer is going to Kickstarter for the very first time. In fact, he needs your help now more than ever. Toffer Team seeks $9,500 in the next 29 days to make this idol’s story truly blossom. After reading his first yuri entry, Himeko Maid, I honestly feel confident that with the funds he can make something truly magical. Good luck!

So what is LIP! Lewd Idol Project about anyways?

Kairi is a young and cheerful girl with a dream
 Becoming the best and most popular Idol ever!
She recently moved to Akihabara in order to achieve this, but
 She’s been rejected by around fifteen different Idol agencies so far.

Already short on money, with some increasing debt, and feeling defeated after another failed audition, she meets Ranko, a self-proclaimed “producer” that introduces the innocent idol wannabe to her most recent and ambitious idea
 Lewd Idol Project.

Join Kairi, explore the wonderful city of Akihabara, meet and recruit new girls for the project, and help her fulfill her dream in this new Lewd Adventure!

What do I think?

Coming off an apparent success in Kiara and My Ara Ara Adventure, Toffer is finally taking his ambitions further. While I tragically did not like Kiara’s game, he continues to truly capture the heart of audiences with his characters. However, because he’s heading back to girls’ love, I am full of hope that he truly fleshes out this crew so that we may fall in love again. There’s a demo available right now and it displays exemplary writing from Toffer this time around. My only concern is bringing the story around to be as good as the characters he created, but with criticism out in the open. I have no doubt that he’s going to make a great yuri lewd adventure.

Bistro Days | Rose

The time is now, Bistro Days is on Kickstarter! You may recall this title as I briefly wrote about the demo being available. To clarify, I’m hoping you did your homework because the campaign is now live. Help Kikai Digital make this project a reality today as the team seeks $7,131 in the next 29 days. I gave the demo a whirl and found myself in love with the characters and specifically their designs. Keppa Tea’s art really resonates with this type of story and the public really needs this especially with how bad things have been. Furthermore, if you really like it, it’s only going to take $11 to secure a copy. I can ramble on for the rest of the piece, just like last one, about how much I’m liking this game’s story. However, that’s something you should decide for yourself, so you better play the demo!

So what’s the story of Bistro Days?

You are an aspiring food blogger in the cozy city of Wisteria. One day, a giant raccoon guides you to Bellflower Bistro, where you meet three charming characters that will prove to be your life’s turning point.

Your quest for social media fame whisks you into the colorful and competitive world of InstaSnap and into the doors of Bellflower Bistro, where love and surprises are always on the menu.

With the Wisteria Flower Festival just around the corner, you team up with the girls to prepare a dish for the Cooking Extravaganza, competing against the city’s best chefs for the grand prize.

As the festival approaches, get closer to your special someone, building friendships, uncovering secrets, and indulging in your foodie fantasies along the way—all while climbing the ladder to InstaSnap stardom.

What fate awaits you at Bellflower Bistro? Will your choices lead you to love and success, or will it shut the door on your dreams for good?

What do I think?

It’s an exceptionally wonderful and bright piece of romantic literature. Seriously, I love the character design straight from the get-go as I love the artist and her work. However, it’s not just the art that’s good. There’s a really beautiful yet simple story to follow here, it’s incredibly wholesome. Furthermore, what’s not to love about the scenery when you have three beautiful girls around you. I definitely want this project to succeed and with your help it can. There’s no harm in trying out the free demo and simply seeing what I’m talking about. It will not bite.

Girls! Girls! Girls!? | Cast

They say space is the final frontier, I disagree as Girls Girls Girls arrives on Kickstarter. The exceedingly beautiful visual novel by Myosuki needs your help, and a lot of it. To clarify, the team is asking for $50,000 in the next 29 days. Now, before you immediately dismiss it as an automatic fail, consider the following. This isn’t just a regular visual novel, in fact, quite the opposite. While it caters to a particularly hungry audience, it also stands on its own for an impressive level of quality. Now how do I know this? Myosuki actually provided this writer with an early access copy of the demo. I’ll publish my full thoughts below for anybody curious, but in short it competes with Japanese Visual Novels. A high quality product means high quality pricing, you can secure a copy of the game for $35. Play the demo and you’ll see.

So what’s Girls Girls Girls about anyways?

Akihabara, the electric town–hub for state-of-the-art technology, fashion, otaku goods, and the cutest boys in skirts you will ever see. Pop into the Girls! Girls! Girls!? Cafe and fall in love with one of four charming “ladies…” or maybe even all of them? Jump into a story full of fluff, romance, friendship, and crossdressing that will keep you coming back for more!

What do I think?

I’ll admit, I’m not too versed in this genre. However, when Myosuki presented me with the press kit, my curiosity peaked when looking at the character designs. I give the short demo a whirl and my jaw dropped at what I saw. Astonishing background art perfectly complementing the character art I fell in love with. Furthermore, the “women” are animated through Live2D with an assortment of cute animations that really bring out their archetypes. This, on top of the story choices that allow you to create your own pace with the characters, makes for a mind-blowing demo. Lastly, and I think the most important part, the developers really cater to lewd enthusiasts quite well. I’ll definitely be pledging and you should too.

While this is Myosuki’s first project as a company, they’ve got industry veterans working on this title and it shows. I understand that there might be some doubts here and there, especially with the high threshold, but I firmly believe they’ve got the potential to do tremendous things. As such, I’ve reached out to Myosuki for an interview and I hope you look forward to that article.

The post Supervillain Visual Novel ‘Henchman Story’ Now on Kickstarter appeared first on oprainfall.

Henchman Story | The Enemy

It’s time we start looking at stories from other perspectives, let’s look at Henchman Story. Time after time, we see these stories where civilization is under threat and a young hero rises to the occasion. If I’m honest, it gets rather boring after a while. In fact, more often than not, I always wonder what a story from the other side would be like. Furthermore, what if I wasn’t even an “important” character. The beautiful project from Silken Sail Entertainment does just that. A story that details the struggles of “lowly” henchmen and how they’re getting by with every paycheck. If the story isn’t enough, they absolutely nail the comic book aesthetic with their UI and character designs too! It’s the other side of the coin that you never looked at. Help the team reach $15,000 in the next 23 days by securing your copy for as little as $13. Play the demo!

So, really, what is Henchman Story about?

Henchman Story is a visual novel where you play as a beleaguered henchman working for a bumbling supervillain.

It’s thankless work. Week in and week out, you put on your purple spandex and get the crap beaten out of you by much stronger, much cooler people wearing much fancier spandex. But the checks clear, and Lord Bedlam offers healthcare, so a job’s a job, right?

Even henchmen have bills to pay, and sometimes, even henchmen can make choices that change everything.

Don’t just take my word for it. Play the demo, and let the developers know how you feel about the game. Feedback is immensely appreciated! Good luck Silken Sail Entertainment, Operation Rainfall stands with you.

The post (18+) INTERVIEW: FluvStruck appeared first on oprainfall.

]]>
FluvStruck | Kickstarter

A new month is here and we have new information for FluvStruck! In fact, we have the project lead himself today to answer several questions about the game’s direction. In case you’re not aware of what FluvStruck is, let me inform you. It’s a currently in progress campaign over on Kickstarter for a very ambitious dating simulator. How ambitious are we talking? Well, considering they want to be better than HuniePop that’s a serious mountain to climb. I previously covered the campaign this past week, and a member of the team took an interest in answering some questions. I took my good old time with the current demo build and came up with some hard hitting questions. The results are below. If you like these answers, feel free to support FluvStruck on Kickstarter so they can add more beautiful women to their game.

Formalities are important when addressing an audience. Who do I have the honor of speaking with and what role do you have on the development team?

You are speaking to Saber, the project lead for FluvStruck! Although I love to dabble in every field, my main role other than direction is writing and game design.

You call FluvStruck a Huniepop-inspired dating simulator. The current build of your demo features a lot of mechanics that many will recognize straight away. May I ask what exactly did you find so appealing about HuniePop’s formula that you end up using it as a base for your first game? What did you learn in the process of making it?

Huniepop is indeed a memorable game, it had a lot of fun features, one of those was my own enjoyment in a puzzle type game, aka – the match 3, in which you’d date the girl with a puzzle. It was fun, challenging when it needed to be and was very easy to get used to throughout the game, but I always wanted more of everything else, interactions with girls, story, getting to really date the girl. So being inspired by the idea to make something more, make something fun with a puzzle type mechanic as well as many other features that fill that gap.

If I’m allowed to be honest with you and the public for a quick question. When I saw your campaign, as sad as it may sound, my initial reaction to your campaign was “Oh, it’s another one of these”. The public has seen a lot of HuniePop clones and researching yours I now see a lot of potential. However, my question is how does the team plan to make FluvStruck different from those that tried and even failed while convincing those on the outside looking in?

With content that really stands out, I agree – I had initial thoughts that perhaps people would relate us to Huniepop too closely, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing, it’s very common to look at one game and think it’s similar to another, and although we’re inspired by the scene Huniepop created, we’re an entirely different game with content that will truly set us apart, so I hope everyone will look forward to that, while also enjoying some familiar mechanics.

FluvStruck | UI

These types of games live fully or die quickly depending on their character roster. To put it plainly, if the girls aren’t cute then why am I bothering to try and get in their pants? What steps has the team taken to make sure the girls are interesting enough to make it worth getting to know them? In addition, may I ask what are the inspirations behind the roster?

The character roster is a very important part and it certainly hasn’t been neglected, this game used to be a manga I was writing, it’s a story that has been developed thoroughly over the years and each character has a background, has feelings, has thoughts and really does feel like she’s part of the world. The girls are designed in a way to stand out from each other, a lot of design choices were made from experimentation, working with different outfits and hairstyles to make sure they look the part, as well as make some characters have a deeper, darker background despite their outward cute appearance. It will not only be looks that draw you to the girls but their stories and personality.

There are two unique things about FluvStruck that I really want to touch more on. First, I’m talking about the ability to be a female main character. Secondly, the previously confirmed addition of a futanari heroine. Considering that this is a very lewd game in the making. Thanks in advance. What sort of lewd scene variety will we get with these two very big things? Will the story play differently as a female main character? What can futanari fans expect from this special surprise?

Yes! The game will certainly play differently as a female, although not enough that it feels like you’re missing out on content – it makes you actually feel like the gender you’ve selected, and the girls will respond to you sometimes in a way that makes it personal to you. As far as the futanari character, you will be able to toggle her from being normal to futanari in case that’s not for you, this is a fantasy world where demons, angels and many other secretive people exist, so it’s not far fetched that a girl with the futanari trait exists. There will be specific futa content with her toggled that way, or specific human content if toggled the other, so you won’t miss a whole lot.

As an adamant fan of the lewd fine arts, I have to ask you more about the kind of spicy content we can expect in FluvStruck. In particular, how do you plan to spice up these text messages and how do you plan to distract and hopefully destroy our focus during the sexually climactic final dates?

Although I’d like to keep most of this topic a secret what I can say is that you’ll have plenty of scenes that distract you, however the dates and relationships you have with the girls won’t necessarily mean you’ll get to the same scenes at the same time – each girls “route” has different points in which you’ll get to have that fun, some may be sooner than others, some may be really far in – it’s all unique and interesting, since we wanted to keep it feeling a little more personal.

FluvStruck | Title Screen

I know I’m asking a lot of heavy questions, especially when over 500 people have come to your aid. Let’s tone it down a bit and ask: Has the Kickstarter campaign surprised you? What were the initial thoughts before the page even launched?

It has certainly surprised me, the campaign has been wonderful and I love to share the game with everyone and see their excitement. It’s fun to engage with the community and share my own thoughts too. I didn’t really have too many thoughts before we launched the page, It was mostly just thinking about how to show people what they’ll be playing, what kind of game and environment it’s set in.

This certainly isn’t a solo effort. With so much to think about and much more proper execution needed to pull this off successfully, what has working with your staff been like? What’s the approach now that the game is going to be funded?

The game has indeed been funded and we’ve hit some amazing goals! I’ve been so grateful not only to the supporters but the team working with me to create this game! They’re all wonderful people, lovely to talk to and work with and incredibly talented. Our approach is to push the demo away and start working heavily on the next builds of the game, getting Amber in next alongside new mechanics to get people excited for the full release. We’ll be redesigning a lot of the UI and making the screens that we haven’t seen yet, so be on the lookout for that in the near future!

It ain’t easy trying to deviate from a formula that works, so let me ask you a couple more things. What has been the most difficult part about making FluvStruck and what’s been the most gratifying part?

I’d say the hardest part about making FluvStruck has been turning a story into a game through design elements, the very beginning of the process started out with a lot of experimentation and finding good resources to learn from. We had so many different ideas of how the mini-games could work but getting through all of that felt very good and I also think that in of itself is the most gratifying part, seeing it all come together has been amazing.

Is there anything you’d like to inform the fans? Whether new, old, or on the fence about FluvStruck as we head into the final week of the Kickstarter campaign?

There isn’t a whole lot I’d like to say as I think most things have been covered with your questions, but I will say thank you all for being so supportive of our game and helping bring it to life! We couldn’t have done this without everyone, so please do look forward to what you get to play later down the line!

The Lost Delinquents of Rollings High | Miss B

Oh boy, do I have something special for you in the form of The Lost Delinquents of Rolling High. This is an absolutely special visual novel from a talented team in Jago Games. In fact, special doesn’t even begin to cover the scale of this. First, there’s a demo available right now. In this demo, you will see an incredibly lively cast with antics galore. Jago Games describes the journey as character-driven and it’s exactly that with a jaw-dropping 21 characters. All 21 of them will be fully voice acted and 13 of them are going to be romance options. Honestly, I’ve never seen a story with as much character focus as this one. Needless to say, this is an ambitious project and it gets weirder every minute. Jago Games is going to need $24,000 to make this a reality. Grab your copy for $36.

So what’s the story behind The Lost Delinquents of Rollings High?

You’ll be playing as Marty Greenwood, a senior at Rollings High School, living in the quirky mountain town of Frank’s Hollow, set somewhere in late 1980’s America.

Marty has a growing feeling of unease as his final week of school approaches, there’s just so much jammed into his finals weeks, it’s all a bit much! He has his wacky childhood friend May to worry about, as well as exams and of course the impending Prom night!

But as he struggles through his final weeks Marty gets the feeling that there’s something suspicious going on in his once safe & cosy town….something dark and mysterious…..and it’s getting worse day by day.

Help Marty navigate the social politics of High School, help him find love, make friends, learn new hobbies or even uncover some dark secrets that might be better left hidden……

But whatever you do…..make sure you do it before Prom Night.

This writer firmly believes you’ll see the potential of this story with the video presented above.

FluvStruck | Cast

It’s certainly been a while, but allow me to introduce you to a wonderful project in FluvStruck! First and foremost, this a HuniePop-inspired story from the small team at Saber Studios. Now before you click off this article simply because you think it’s a rip off, pump the brakes. We’re looking at a project that’s got some of the most beautiful art I’ve seen in my time covering visual novels and the like. There’s a demo literally available right now on Steam and it’s fantastic. Players making the jump from HuniePop to FluvStruck will definitely feel at home with the UI and mechanics for sure. However, the true spectacle in all of this is the breathtaking cast and a rather refreshing take on the protagonist’s woes. The project already has nearly $17,000 secured, but continues to need your support to unlock more alluring characters. Secure your copy for $13 today!

You can probably take a guess as to what kind of story FluvStruck has, but here you go:

You are a romantic novelist. Sadly, you’re absolutely terrible at writing stories
 Until you meet Yuna, a hopeless young girl who is obsessed with teasing you and putting you to work. FluvStruck’s story plays around your involvement with girls who have deep desires and your goal is to help them cleanse their inner demons. Will Yuna’s guidance lead you down the right path in becoming the best romantic novelist?

For the lewd connoisseurs, it looks like there’s a pleasant surprise in this package:

According to its website Dice Command is a “semi-abstract tactical wargame” for 2 to 4 players. In this game, players go head-to-head in a “tug of war style battle“. Players must carefully build up their armies and technology while adjusting to their opponents movements. In order to become victorious in Dice Command, players must fight their opponent’s army and force their way through the enemy’s Front Line.

Dice Command | Field of play
Each player has a Command Center which contains their core actions. With this the player chooses when to build their army, attack or defend, or research powerful upgrades to improve and streamline the Command Center itself. Each player begins their turn by rolling the dice, then assigning those dice to Units, Credits and Research Tokens based on their rolled values while using Tactical Advantage Cards to improve their current situation. They are then able to play move their units across the field to strategically advance or defend as the moment requires. On the battlefield you fight for control of different facilities. As long as you’re able to maintain these locations, you gain access to their powerful effects and abilities. Exploiting your tactical advantages is the key to victory.

Dice Command is available to play FOR FREE right now! You will need to create a free account on Tabletopia in order to get a taste of what this game is all about with your friends online. Ejected Planet intends for the The Dice Command Kickstarter to provide them the funds necessary to manufacturer and distribute a physical version of the game. They also believe it will allow them to make some needed tweaks to card and ability values in the name of balance and fairness. You can follow Ejected Planet on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for updates and more. If this sounds like something that interests you, take a crack at it and let us know what you think.

Goner is an indie survival-horror game set on an estranged island filled with dinosaurs and ancient life. You play as Anthony Sunder, a regular man looking for his missing mother and her expedition crew. You have no guns or advanced weaponry. You must craft whatever you can to survive and fend off ravenous dinosaurs such as the deinosuchus and quetzalcoatlus with more to come.

The game has victoriously smashed it’s Kickstarter goal along with various community goals that have added more dinosaurs to the game. If other stretch goals are met, a marine dinosaur, mod support, language support, console releases, and much more could be added.

From the press release:


Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain –September 14, 2020– Due to the support of almost 700 backers, independent games development studio Loco Players pledged $36k, 124% of it’s original goal on Kickstarter, to fund the production and development of Goner last Thursday.
Goner is a single-player, story-driven, dinosaur-themed 3D survival-horror in first-person perspective coming to steam in 2021. The game is starred by Anthony Sunder, a son looking for his missing mother and her expedition crew in an island inhabited by hostile members of a lost civilization and feral fauna you thought extinct.
“We are very proud to have exceeded every expectation about the success of Goner on Kickstarter”, says Yeray Schwartz, CEO at Loco Players. “We are excited to launch this awaited adventure in the first half of next year”.
Packing all of the best features from the survival-horror genre, Goner contains gigantic dinosaurs with fluid animations in full 3D environments, including species such as the quetzalcoatlus, the deinosuchus and the edmontosaurus. You will have to use their bones, skins, and other parts of their bodies to make new food, weapons, armor and tools.
     Features:
  • Self-manage your hunger, thirst, fatigue, temperature and health.
  • Hunt, collect, cook, drink, rest or craft.
  • Save your progress using a specific consumable in a safe room.
  • Limited inventory capacity.
  • Day and night cycles with sun and moon phases + weather system.
  • Complex AI and behaviors.
  • Camouflage your smell with mud or water.
  • Two Game Modes: Survival and Story.
  • Custom your appearance and defenses with self-made armor or clothes, building and setting traps.
  • The island will be filled with natural dangers such as toxic gases, poisonous flora and fauna, lava or quicksand.

Reborn in Sin | Effie

Perverts and lewd connoisseurs rejoice as today Reborn in Sin is now on Kickstarter. Yes, this is a kind reminder after our last post from two weeks ago. However, if this is your first time hearing about the project, let me inform you. This is the lustful fantasy story from the young developer, Aphrodisia. In this story, you play as a fallen angel with curiosity aplenty and a brand new toy to play with. Learn about the world of the living and partake of many pleasantries while also learning about your own limits. There is a demo available and I’m happy to reiterate that this is the fantasy futanari story that I’ve been waiting for. Futanari enthusiasts it’s time we rise up in support of Aphrodisia’s vision. To clarify, her campaign will run from today until October 8th and needs $8,000. Furthermore, you can secure a copy for $10!

Want more details about the Reborn in Sin story?

In a world where the supernatural is commonplace and magic flows as freely as water, there reside heavenly beings, beasts, and demons who are as real and numerous as leaves on a tree.

It’s here, under the watch of Ana, the Mother Goddess, that demi-humans of a wondrous variety thrive. But the Mother Goddess’ love is not unconditional! By Her decree, the inhabitants of the Otherworld are never to mingle with the mortals on the other side, except to perform their duties.

One such person, an angel whose name was erased from legends, violates this rule and is cast away from the Otherworld in mad fury. You play as this angel!

You’ve turned into a futanari through a pact with a demon. Now you must struggle to survive in this unknown world. What will you learn about mortal life, and how will it change you…? Romance a unique trio of monster girls, including one au naturale woman & two other futanari!

Reborn in Sin | Auryn

I have a treat for you today in the form of Reborn in Sin. You may be wondering what even is this. To clarify, this is an incredibly special futanari and monster girl tale from a young developer in Aphrodisia. To those who delve deep into the lewd tag mine, you’ll understand how rare the futanari content is. For instance, simply knowing it’s a futanari game alone is sure to make plenty of people curious. However, there’s no good in putting in a banana and two apples on a queen if there’s no substance behind it. I took it upon myself to play their short demo last night and I’m in disbelief at the polish. In other words, the art, the partial voice acting and the one glorious lewd preview is enough to leave you drooling. Now I find out it’s getting a crowdfunding campaign? You need to play this!

So what’s Reborn in Sin about anyways?

In a world where the supernatural is commonplace and magic flows as freely as water, there reside heavenly beings, beasts, and demons who are as real and numerous as leaves on a tree.

Serial Lover | Edwina

Let’s take you outside the box and introduce you to an amazing game in Serial Lover. This colorful, yet dangerous project, comes from the young hands of Sugar Slip and it’s their first game. However, unlike many first projects, this one aims to be the most promising I’ve seen yet. To clarify, there’s a demo available right now. While on the surface it looks like your average romance story with some difficult heroines, it’s so much more than that. The real catch in all of this is the wonderful character designs and addicting rhythm game. Who says you can’t have fun romancing serial killers? Back to reality, Sugar Slip needs to make $5,000 USD to make this a reality and you can get a copy for as low as $8. Needless to say, this is a steal. There’s so much to love here so try the demo and support them.

So I mentioned something about romancing serial killers, but what is Serial Lover about?

After waking in an unfamiliar house, in a dream-like reality, you find yourself among a group of strangers, all as confused as you are. One of them assures you that this is not a dream, but lacks answers themselves. Discover the truth while coming to know the strangers you’re stuck with. Whether they like it or not, they need your help to figure out what’s going on, just as much as you need theirs.

The narrative of Serial Lover has varying degrees of purpose. At times it may be comedic, intimate, even thrilling, but at other times it has moments of intently story-driven progression that address the overarching mystery. These points in the game leave the player guessing, as they try to solve a piece of the puzzle, or reveal the next.
