Hey guys!
I appreciate your enthusiasm. I'm committed to making this VN game the best it can be. While the Prologue is quite linear and doesn't offer significant choices, it serves as an introduction to the characters in Hardenville.
Rest assured, I have no plans to abandon this project. In fact, I'm dedicated to completing Hardenville Season 1. The next release, scheduled for late December or early January, will be Episode 1 (last one will be Episode 9), which will contain at least twice the content of the Prologue. This will include more explicit content and sex scenes.
Rendering all the images in 4k takes some time and storage space, but it's worth it for the quality. About half of the file size is dedicated to the music, which might have been a bad decision. But it will play a significant role in Episode 1.
As for the upcoming Episode, the main event will be the "Home-Alone Party" since Johanna and Tom are going on their honeymoon.
I'm a Norwegian native, so please forgive any occasional English errors.
While the game is in very early development, I hope some of you might consider supporting the project in the future. My plan is to invest in a PC with a RTX 4090 for rendering and continue using my current PC with a RTX 3090 for animations.
In Episode 1, we'll introduce freeroam gameplay, item collection, and much more.
I understand that some of you might have concerns since this is my first release, and I might still be in the learning phase of Daz rendering. I began creating renders in Daz two months after I played my first Visual Novel in January 2022. Since then I've been learning both Daz and Ren'Py.
But you know what they say, we all have to start somewhere!
Btw, NTR is not planned at all. But harem on the other hand..
