Remember that trend that went around when all the girls were asking us just how often we thought about the Roman Empire? And then they co-oped the fucking shared obsession with all their personal 'Roman Empire' which have nothing to do with either ancient civilisations, or shared obsessions? Yeah well, there were a few folk who could legitimately have said "My Roman Empire", and one of those was a sick fuck called Caligula. He screwed all his sisters, murdered thousands, and almost destroyed a nascent empire. I kinda thought that might make an interesting VN.

In February 2025 I declared that 2025 was gonna be my year, I was going to achieve several things including releasing the first build (at least) of the idea that had been bouncing around my nogin like a 1975 pong game. Well here we are on the afternoon of Dec 31 and I did it. Mostly I did it because it IS December 31. For whatever the reason, the seal is broken now. I'm excited to kick on with it. Sadly, I'm not a seasoned programmer, not a great writer, and I'm fucking terrible at art. I've resorted to a lot of you tube tutorials on stuff, and AI art. I fought with Daz and Blender for months before I went to the AI. Honestly I could use pointers on all the parts, and even better an art partner.

I hope this section of F95Zone is going to be the most constructive with the criticisms and suggestions.
