Dev Blog: Serenia

Hi Everyone,

I’m Offwhite Studios, the developer behind an upcoming game I’m very excited to share with you: Serenia, an NSFW Dungeon Crawler. This is my first game, and I’m excited to finally be at a stage where I can connect with the community here and start sharing my progress. The first part of the game is nearly ready for initial release, and I’m aiming for the release in just a few weeks (aiming for March).

In this development blog, I’ll be sharing details about the game, its features, and how it’s shaping up. I’m also here to hear from you—your questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome as I work toward release.

Thanks for checking out my work!

About the Game
Serenia is a RPG Dungeon Crawler packed with NSFW scenes. You play as Anno, the Court Wizard of Serenia. The plot kicks off when a prophecy foretelling the rise of a mysterious dark lord and an army set to descend upon the city. Despite your warnings, the Queen dismisses your pleas to prepare, leaving you no choice but to take matters into your own hands. To save Serenia and those you care about, you must grow stronger. Your journey takes you into ancient, treacherous labyrinths, where forgotten magic lies buried, waiting to be claimed. But the road to salvation is fraught with danger. The land is as perilous as it is seductive, with threats that will test your strength, resolve, and morality—and plenty of NSFW situations to stumble into.

Current Status:
As of now, I’m thrilled to say that Chapter 1 of the game is 90% complete. Although it's just the first Chapter, there is hours of content here. Here’s a quick rundown of where things stand.

What’s Done:

• Core Gameplay Systems: Art (characters, locations, items, etc), Combat, leveling mechanics, item mechanics, and monster encounters are complete.
• Story and Dialogue: All conversations, scenes, and story content are finished.
• NSFW Content: The game features around 21 unique, animated scenes, all implemented except for one final sequence.

What’s Left:

• About half the animations (the art is done, just not the animation)
• Final Polishing: Cleaning up animations, refining a few late-game scenes, and tightening the presentation.
• Playtesting: Ensuring balance and smooth performance across gameplay scenarios.
• Dialog Choice Impact: Right now, most choice only change the dialog, not long-term relationships.

Content:

• 21 Animated NSFW Scenes: The game includes 21 unique, explicit encounters, each featuring its own animation.
• Diverse Cast of Characters: Meet and build relationships with dozens of characters, each with their own personalities and storylines.
• Interactive Dialog Choices: Shape your journey through meaningful dialog options that impact relationships and outcomes. (May not be in first release)
• Strategic Turn-Based Combat: Engage in battles with a variety of enemies, using items and leveling up to grow stronger.
• Dungeon Exploration: Navigate dungeons filled with traps, puzzles, and minigames that challenge your skills and wits.
• Unique Monsters: Encounter dozens of enemies, each with distinct resistances, attacks, and loot to discover.
• Scene-by-Scene Open World: Explore an interconnected world one scene at a time, uncovering secrets and progressing your story.

Release Plans
My goal is to release the first version of the game in March-April 2025, but it could be earlier - who knows?

The Road Ahead
This project has taken a year and a half to reach this point, but things will move faster from here. When I started, I had no experience with programming, AI, or animation, and I was building everything on outdated hardware (GTX 1070). Now:

• I know what I’m doing with Ren'Py, AI tools, and After Effects.
• The base code and character templates are complete.
• All the major systems are in place.
• I can focus on creating new content and refining what’s already there.

I plan to upgrade to the NVIDIA 5000 series in March, which should 50x performance. This means you can expect much better art and faster updates! After the initial release, I aim to deliver updates every 2-3 months, focusing on adding new chapters, refining animations, and expanding the game world.

Patreon and Monetization

This game is, and will remain, completely free. I plan to release it on F95Zone for everyone to enjoy, with the full experience available without needing to join Patreon. Creating this game has been a passion project for me, and I want as many people as possible to experience it without barriers.

That said, I’m setting up a Patreon for those who would like to support my work. Your support would mean a lot and help offset the costs of hardware upgrades, software tools, and the countless hours I’ve invested in this project.

For Patreon supporters, I’d like to offer some perks, such as:

• Taking requests for adding new content or features to the game.
• Hosting voting polls to help decide on scenes or creative elements.
• Sharing behind-the-scenes content, such as unused artwork, concepts, or cut ideas.

More perks may come later as I get more familiar with using Patreon.

Rest assured, the game itself will always remain free. Patreon is simply an optional way to support the project and become more involved in its development.

Thank you for considering it, and most importantly, for playing and supporting the game!

Progress Update

After totaling up the remaining animation and completed animations. There is currently...

• 51 Animated Images
• 20 Unfinished Animated Images
• 6 Remaining Scenes (multiple animated images make up a scene)
• 8 Completed Scenes

Each image is usually a 6-10 second animated loop.

I'm considering posting a whole completed scene as a teaser trailer if people are interested. A scene has dialog, character side images (with matching facial expressions), and animated images. They are usually 2-10 images long.
