Here is the Q&A for the next project. Have a good read and Amber face got a bit reworked. I decided to remove the strong face features and give her a more rounded face to make her not be in a resting bitch face all the time.

• What is the main premise or story of the game?
  The main point of the game will be surviving the world you are in and keeping what you love safe. You will meet new people there and go on adventures to find the way out of there.
• How does the NTR/love path system work?
  My goal is not to have any decision that will make insta NTR path or love path. It will all go down as a gameplay element. You can earn NTR points or Love points each day but that doesnt mean you lose the girl if you get NTR points for few days. Each level will have different NTR scenes. And even then the first two NTR stages are not even NTR we will only see the girls talking more to the antagonist. You can stop NTR progress by reaching stage 3 of love route.
• Can you switch between NTR and love paths mid-game, or is it locked early on?
  Well my goal is to make your choices matter for this game. So if you fuck up its your problem. You can always load your save.
• What is the anomaly-finding minigame, and how does it affect the NTR outcome?
  This minigame will have you go into an anomaly room, which will make the room different evertime. There will be a timer for the minigame, that if it runs out you failed the your raid. On top of that we will have 4 mistakes until the raid is failed too. Each time you do a mistake NTR points will get added. You will have a option to see what is happening with the girl you are doing raid and there will be special scenes for Love route and NTR route.
• Are all 11 girls romanceable, or do some have specific roles in the story?
  Well at first my goal was to make them all full love interest but I doubt i have the resources to do so. So you will be able to fuck all of them. But only few will have the love ending.
• Who are the 3 antagonists, and how do they influence the NTR/love paths?
  All three of them will be from a different faction. One might find you in the raid, one will be responsable for jobs and the last one is just an annoying brat.
• How open is the semi-open world? Can you freely explore all 10 locations?
  You will be able to freely explore all the locations once you unlock them.
• What are the 4 time cycles, and how do they affect gameplay or events?
  1st cycle is when everybody is waking up. 2nd cycle is when everybody going to working. 3rd cycle is when everybody chilling and 4th cycle is going to be a cycle which will have the consequences of your actions play out.
• Are there specific missions tied to each girl, or are missions more general?
  Yeah most of these mission will add love points or ntr points if they failed. I want to make that missions have day limit. So there is a fail condition and we dont need to go back to the choices which makes you choose NTR/love option
• How do player choices impact the relationships with the 11 girls?
  You will be able to romance and have sex with all the girls with repeatable sex scenes with every stage you progress with them.
• Is there a way to avoid NTR entirely if I focus on the love path?
  Dont be stupid.
• What kind of events can we expect in the semi-open world?
  NPC having sex, NPC talking, Li's getting NTRed or just waiting for you to do something fun.
• Are the 10 locations unique in terms of art, events, or gameplay?
  Some are created by me, some are created by artist which was paid by me and some are just assets from daz store.
• How long is the game, and is there replayability with different paths?
  Well i dont know yet. I want it to have replayability but its really hard to do so.
• Do the antagonists have their own story arcs or motivations?
  Yes. While some antagonist are not the main antagonist but they have their agendas. And one of them will be direct enemy to the main protagonist.
• Are there different endings for each girl, or is there a single overarching ending?
  Well some girls will have different ending some wont. But we shall see how the full game looks like.
• How does the time cycle affect the availability of missions or events?
  You will only be able to do missions on 2nd cycle.
• Will there be post-launch content, like DLCs or additional girls/locations?
  We might see some DLCs.
• How did you come up with the story for Lighthouse?
  To be honest. It came with idea that just evolved everyday while i was going out for a jog.
• Do you already have the whole story/game planned out?
  Yeah, the ending is already known
• Will it be Harem (I'm a Harem Player at heart )?
  Yeah, but wont be the main focus.
• Inspirations for creating the characters?
  Just w/e makes me think they are cute
• Will it be as long as BL?
  Longer
• Which girl is your favorite (no spoilers, obviously ). Just a name will do.
  Amber is goated

 

[Dxristos1987]

You are a good story teller just put your fantasy on the game and all of that is Great. and NTR is good but disent cuz the most games have ntr on it. i just only this. NTR or Not u create Great Games keep that.

She looks very cute and an informal Q&A thanks for that

Taking a risk with adding the Ntr cuz he already developed a game without it so i think he is gonna probably lose some supporters but gain another ... anyway...good luck

Harem stuff doesnt really add much drama to anything and once the main girls join the harem is becomes so fucking boring to play or create updates

Jumping one ship to another !!...it's up to you what u wanna do ,if you lost motivation or felling burnout and think this is the way then go for it ,i am just here for the ride and the vibes i liked bright lord it's nice ,for the other well have to try it to say something more when it comes out, nice girls though what i've seen from the previews i am not a fan of sandbox and mini games i think they are waste of time ...but at the end is your choice and my choice if i wanna try or not ...good luck though ...hopefully u get more succes than BL.....or fail trying ....

Randomly saw this thread, and skimmed through. It does look incredible and girls look great. But I have two holdups that scare me a little.

- The big one is it seems like it will be a bit grindy. Got to get gear, locations opening, minigames, etc. I just really don't want a grind, or full sandbox, energy system. I rather a little more straightforward playthrough, maybe a little free roam or other stuff is ok. So this is by biggest concern.
- The other might be minor there was that one shot, where mc looked short a page ago. Might just be that one shot, cause the others looks fine, so probably overreacting on this one.

I really want to play, cause this looks so interesting with the world and characters, but management systems and locations, along with the other stuff does feel bad and maybe will turn too grindy.

Not sure what I want to do, Either way good luck dev, cause its clear you are talented, evidence by your other game.

I defo dont want it to make grindy. Just not too fast too

Yeah, I hope so, I guess the sandbox elements and the 4 day cycles and so on worry me, I'm ok when choices matter it just may feel like a lot of work to get to where I want, like it may be more game, where as I like the more story, visual novel aspect, and not full gameplay. But I guess I will have to wait and see. I hope it appeals to me when the game does drop, and doesn't feel too sandbox, management like, but will try regardless and just hope.

Also one other question, I know you said Harem is obtainable but not focus, which is fine. But will there possibly be throuples or more poly(more than two, 3-5) with a few girls depending. Like could we talk maybe an Amber into sharing with Margot or maybe someone else, which might lead to ending of mutliple girls unique ending, full of love, or will the love endings be more solo based on girls. (Sorry if I didn't explain well, hard to put into words for this part)

Well it will be some grinding i guess the goal is to give player allways something to see or find in all the cycles at first the world might be a bit dead but with few updates it will get better. As for the threesomes. Amber will be the hardest to pursui to do so. She is very loyal girl which can go either way.
