LureMap✨ (COMMISSION OPEN)

Hii hijack community!! Been wanting to open up a blog to introduce a project I and others are working on. An OTNWAS visual novel! This is just a fun little collaborate project we’ve been slowly working on in our free time, but we wanted to be able to share our progress with you!

Who all are involved in this project?

We have a very talented team of artists helping bring this to life.

Our lead developer:

@vindikaetion

Our artists:

@hijacksecrets @midoristeashop @neytui @purinshock @jackshiccup @intergalaxis @meltesh28

Our soundtrack artist:

@eldritchred

Our cheerleaders + the author themselves:

@yanleafy @droptoposmosis @jjackfrost

When will it be released?

It depends! Since this is a fan project, it isn't our main priority. We all have very busy lives, but we try to dedicate time to the VN when we're able to. Hopefully we can keep a consistent schedule, but we don't make any guarantees.

Will it be an actual game or just released on tumblr as a webcomic?

Kae is developing the visual novel using the Renpy engine, which will mean you can download and play it! We intend for it to be a completely interactable experience, and we want to bring it to life as best we can :)

Why am I posting this?

Because I know I have a lot of young people following me, and because over the past few years, I've seen a shocking amount of anti-gay rhetoric in MY comment section. Of my Steven Universe fancomic. An extremely lgbtq-friendly show.

So what gives? My best guess is, I have a very wide following, and a lot of these readers are pretty socially insulated in conservative spaces that don't allow them to explore the concepts of the other side of the argument.

I'm not about to judge children on the environment they were raised in... but I'm also here. I'm a part of the environment. And I'd like to offer some perspectives.
