Basic project brief

This game is a fangame based on the Villain Plays AU of TSBS, additionally adding dating sim / visual novel mechanics to it. The game’s going to be mostly dialogue, with some CG art for certain scenes to add impact. The scope’s remaining quite small due to this being a new experience for the team as a whole. The Game’s going to include 4 characters, Bloodmoon, Eclipse, Miku and Stitchwraith in key roles. All of them are datable aside from Stitchwraith who is the sole platonic route, due to him being comprised of two children. Other characters were considered but due to the group being small and limitations of choices, we decided to focus on the main four.

Artists

The artists have had their focus on creating the concept art for the characters within the project, since further project work cannot start until there is a better idea as to what assets will be needed from the Writer’s team. The design process of them has already been finished, and full character sheets featuring the character and the art style are currently being worked on. Eclipse’s sheet is nearly done at the moment.

Writers

The writers have been currently working on trying to concept what stories might be told, and have been set on studying the current episodes of villain plays to get an idea as to character dynamics. They’ve just started Stitchwraith. Some concepts for potential scenes have been written as well, to hopefully be slotted in when a full narrative arc has been decided.

Programmers

The programming team has been focused on development. Due to a miscommunication between developers, the actual Talking screens are not yet functional, but the title screen and options screens have a degree of functionality. Further work will continue when the conversation system is functional. The game is currently made up entirely of placeholder assets while work takes place.

Last news

Thank you very much for reading! This is just what’s been done so far, and we’re going to continue development. We’re hoping to bring on more hands for people to assist, and we’ll get forms out for that soon! :D
