There are some other genre tags that I am interested in, as well as some that I don’t want:

• Reverse NTR (Netori) - This will defo be added but not any time soon.​
• Orgy - (Late game)​
• Incest - Was tempted to do this but some sites are fully against it.​
• NTR - Not the biggest fan of this. (Story wise would not make sense unless I find a way but highly unlikely)​

Any other tags can be suggested but as i said its a 50/50 it needs to fit the story no matter what.


Overview

You play as a young man who lost everything at 15. His parents (once powerful CEOs) died in a tragic car accident, leaving him alone, penniless, and forgotten. After five years of scraping by, living in a rundown house and studying to become a doctor, life offers one last lifeline:

A call from the ex-wife of the man who took over your family's company. She offers a full scholarship and a room in her mansion with no strings attached.

Desperate, you accept. But beneath the surface of this generous offer lies guilt, betrayal… and secrets meant to stay hidden.

While going through your parents belongings in the attic, you find a strange artifact—one that speaks to you, transforms you, and awakens something ancient in your blood.

Now, you’re stronger. Bolder. Desired.
Your body isn't the only thing that’s changed.

You’re not just the boy they left behind.
You are the Legacy Reborn.

All of these images are just basic render gives you an idea on how they will look.
Male Character aka you: (MC is ready)

Main Cast — Household: (Names not decided and the body morph not final)

Ex Wife - (Might change hair and colour )




Ex Wife Partner- (Torn between these two)


Tennant 1: ( Hair again )


Tennant 2: (Looks good)


Overall, I am thinking of adding tattoos to some of the characters to make them more lively.


What I need to do or get ready:


The story writing is mostly complete but still somewhat vague. I know what I want for the first release and basically have the ending planned—a minimap of sorts. The game will be split into acts. This act is called House of Shadows, but for the demo, it’s titled Act 0 – The Spark (Prologue). The second arc, University of Power, will come later and focus on climbing the social ladder. In total, there will be five acts.

So, how long until the initial release?

Honestly, I want to release it 2-3 month since I’m only working on it in my free time, mostly on weekends. I’m busy with university exams and a part-time job.

If there’s a delay, I apologize in advance, but I don’t expect any unless I need to work at the hospital to get experience. Apart from that, things should go smoothly.

Your Opinions:

I’d like to ask for your opinions on the character designs so do they look okay to you? I know some of them look a bit basic, and I’m planning to improve those, so any suggestions would be appreciated. I’m aiming to wrap up character creation by the end of this week so I can start working on renders and animations.


Also, what do you all think about sandbox games (I like the concept because it will allow me to build more deeper relationship between characters)
Thank you!

So is the game about corrupting others and gradually manipulating them in a mix of magical and logical ways?

Uhm you're spot on. By 'logical ways' I assume you mean social tactics like blackmail or persuasion if so, then yes. I am aiming to make the game have more story depth, especially for the main female characters. I don't want it to be like, 'you meet them and the next day you're having sex.' That kind of fast progression would be more fitting for side characters you meet along the way—and even then, only one or two. I prefer a gradual build-up so yeah.

Yea a nice build-up would be crucial for the experience and it sounds like it's gonna be the most important part in your game other than the art. Good luck!

Update:

I've completed 20 renders so far, which cover the beginning of the game. The target for the initial release is around 200 renders.

What’s ready:

• Player’s home is complete
• Main character (MC) and two side characters are done (model-wise)
• The location is finished (image-wise)

What still needs to be done:

• Dialogue: It’s about 60% complete. I may add more content or revise some of the dialogue to make things clearer and help players better understand what’s going on.
• Character Models: I have models for the two tenants, but I’m struggling with the ex-wife’s design. She currently looks far too young—I need her to look mid-30s. I might completely redesign her appearance.

What I’m working on now:

• Rendering: This part will take time, and I don’t want to rush it. I’m creating an Excel sheet to track each render. For every render, I plan to add corresponding dialogue or a description to give it meaning. This way, everything is planned ahead, and I can simply check off each render as it’s completed.
• Character Models: I'm looking to improve the designs of the female characters to better fit the tone of the game, especially aiming for more mature-looking women

Any suggestions are welcome! (Character wise)


Thank you.
