We know that it will be the same world as Bright Lord and in a similar era (i.e. not so many years have passed).
My questions were if there will be a male or female protagonist and if there is a real lighthouse? I mean we can't see any ships in the preview
, I'm curious about the name.

The game takes 15 years later. We will find out what happened with the old girls and MC. The protagonist will be male and the name Lighthouse come from the idea that in a dead world where you where stepping in to the darkness will kill you immediately and when you in trouble you need go only thing that can make you safe is the most lighted location on the map - the main area of the gameWe know that it will be the same world as Bright Lord and in a similar era (i.e. not so many years have passed).

Yes, I think I understand, they have to follow the light sources to keep themselves safe.
Are you planning to include a morality system, i.e. to be a good and charismatic person or an evil one? I'm asking because I've been looking at some of the character art and I see that there are factions, different groups to choose from.
Yes, MC will have to do the weekly quest to help keep the base supplied you will be faced with choices that might be not moral. Some of them will make you richer some of them will make others hate you, some respect you. In the end there will be three endings which expand to almost 25 different scenarios.

Hey KissKissStudio
Thanks for all the info about the game, so far it all looks very very interesting.
Everything below are just my thoughts/assumptions, I might be wrong of course so feel free to correct me if you feel like it (what can I say - I'm just bored on sunday morning).
First of all - about endings, I got a bit confused, cause here you said about 9 endings in a game however here you're talking about 3 main endings with some variations, I understand that latter is more correct))
I'm just gonna try to guess - 3 main endings might depend on the faction you choose - frontiers, thriad, fanatics?
It's great to hear btw that besides all other endings (mentioned harems and stuff) there will be "true love ending" (the one you mentioned in another thread - here) where you will choose only one LI, I'm a monogamous player mostly, and personally I don't like forced Lis in a games - so this is really great news for me.
So I'd assume, "True Love ending" ending will be one of those 3 main endings and it will have 25 variations depending on your chosen LI and/or your choices through out the game?
I got through the thread, still don't have clear idea about who is a LI and who is not
But
From all girls and their backstories posted here so far I like the most Amber, Nicole and Valarie.
I also find Elise and her backstory very... intriguing) In general, fanatics faction looks like the most interesting so far.
And I already like new girl you added.
About mini games - I'm ok with it as long as it is in a game not just for the sake of it but for certain purposes - like you mentioned - to get some new gear or upgrade it or to progress in the story, that works fine personally for me. The same with free roams, as long as they are not overwhelming, not time-limited and are easy to navigate - fine by me.
From what I understood about NTR part and again feel free to correct me - it will be integrated as bad endings and will entirely depend on our choices, meaning - we are in control whether it happens or not.
I don't have any problems as long as it's optional, the same with LIs starting in relations with NPCs or having very active sexual past, that's all fine by me as long the game doesn't rub it in my face in forcible way all the time.
The thing that got me curious a bit - you mentioned we will have to save LI/Lis from antagonist. Honestly, the trope I am not a great fan of - when we constantly have to go above and beyond trying to save Lis from being stolen, kinda happens almost in every game with multiple routes (vanilla vs ntr). Anyways - it's just speculation at this point as I don't know how it will be executed in your game.
Well, with all that said - the game/premise sounds great... and ambitious, I like it and I'm curious about how this goes.
P.S. Sorry for my "gibberish" english - still drinking morning coffee)

I don't know how to explain it but the game will have 3-4 main endings which will have variations. If you choose one you will get ending from all the stats u gathered. The second one is where you stay with your true love or harem and the last one if going to be the true ending which will not have variations and of course the bad ending.
All the girls that I showcased should have true love ending option, but it depends on how I will manage with all of this. If it gets overwhelmingly hard to do so I will just do the most-voted girls and other girls I will leave just so the MC can fuck with them after doing there side quest and raising affection.
The factions will be in love-hate relationship with each other they don't like each other but cant live without each others help.
Frontiers will be the faction that has access to the main location's power and water supply and they are the most populated one. But the most populated doesn't mean its the strongest. Their main source is making the "Monolith" run with supplies. They believe that the void must be avoided because it makes people go crazy.
Triad will be the smallest faction but the only faction that was able to get guns. They run the drug business inside the base and all the shady stuff inside the "Monolith". They run the club and prostitution business too. They don't care what happens in the Void as long as they get money out of it
Fanatics are going to be the first wave of people that got into Void. They are on the brink of going insane and going nut on killing all to fulfill the voices in their head which everybody in the Void starts hearing eventually but they are held back by their leader called "Father". The more goes the more people eventually join Fanatics. They believe that they must find all the secrets of the void and it should be embraced.
The main base "Monolith" provides was all the things that humans will always want. Food, sex and violence. But the truce between factions only work in base territory if you go out of it you are no longer friends. If you kill somebody in the main base you get banished forever.
All three leaders of factions are trying to become the strongest but every attempt gets met with other two factions not letting you achieve your goal and its vise versa.
I cant say much more because it will be hard spoilers and understanding why the antagonist system is in place. But you not meeting requirements will block you from stopping antagonist advances towards your Li's. My goal is to make all the scenes with the antagonist happen in the free roam event. Me myself as a player when I play such games I hate when you stop antagonist couple of times and those couple of times have a scene where your girls gets groped, then the next scene she is giving blowjob but you stop these events and then you made a mistake and the third event starts already of your girl getting fucked already. So yeah I will try to do that your action will reflect on what happens in free roam.
In free roam you will be able to raise affection with the girls, and stop the antagonist. If you fail to meet your weekly goal of supplies you will be forced to go do jobs that block you from stopping antagonists.
But basically the game will start with around 1 hour long prologue which will explain most of the things and then the free roam happens. In the prologue I will try to make player care about your childhood friend the MAIN love interest and show how the player ended up in there.
Sorry for info dump and there might be a lot of spelling errors

Thanks for info.
I like this universe and lore in general.
And as I said the whole premise is very intriguing, I hope everything goes the way you planned it.
Still have tones of questions but don't wanna bother you, at least yet
Good to know, that's exactly what I was asking about.
Nice, I think so far I like Amber the most, well, it's only a preview with backstory, surely, later in a game the whole appearance will matter to me (including look and personality) but still.
When it comes to only looks, I think I like the most her and her, just my humble opinion.
Nah, all is fine.
Amber and the new girl might get a role swap. I will do a voting soon and see which girl is most popular.Thanks for info.

It wont be something really insane basically adding content. Or just changing few bits on the same ending

OK, but brother, always make sure that you have every single path and variation figured out before you even start working on the game seriously. Don't improvise or you'll kill the game.
One will be a bait ending which will reflect on your decisions
other one is going to be a true love route for most of the girls
And real ending which will have only you talking with your love one before doing it. It's basically three endings or four if we count bad end.
Nothing too much, basically just imagine BL ending but you talk with the girl with most love points in the end.
The main menu screens are almost fully done.
