Please check out ShoSakyu: A charming dating sim about accidentally summoning a succubus, who's only just learning what it means to really be good at her job!
Meet Nono, a newly licensed succubus who has answered your call via book summoning... Only she doesn't really seem like the type of demon you'd imagine a succubus to be? After failing her first task on her starting day of work Nono refuses to go home as a failure. With determination and a newfound courage, she moves in with one goal: obtain your human essence. A lot of it.
With 50 different expression components (eyes, eyebrows, mouth, etc.), 5 character poses, and 6 different outfits (so far :>), the goal is to really bring this character to life in a way I always want in visual novels I play to have. With those components I can make hundreds of useable expressions, that actually change frequently, adapting with the dialogue in a realistic way compared to other dating sims I've played. Nono, having the power to shape shift into a human form, (among other forms later in game) adds even more variety in what you get to experience with ShoSakyu.
Nono is the main character, however she isn't the only one. Nono comes from a different realm full of Succubi, many different races and professions live in this underground region known as "The Hive" and you'll be able to meet a few of them as they visit your home to check up on Nono, and perhaps get a taste of the human she's spending so much time with.
A planned feature I have after initial release is to animate all sprites and many scenes with Spine2D. I would love to be able to do this, and I love seeing my characters come to life in this new way. This feature is going to be a toggle in the settings menu of the game, as I know there is a split in people who prefer animation or no animation. It's not a priority currently as I want to focus on more content on the game, however I have made a breathing animation example for you all to enjoy!
While working toward a better relationship with your live-in succubus is the main focus, your normal life still persists. Go to work to earn money so you can afford to cook yummy food for Nono, and buy her special items that she wants or that you could use on her. Maintain cleanliness at home to keep her happy during her stay.
You'll be able to freely roam around your apartment, seeing Nono in various places where you'll be able to check on her in an array of different interaction types. You might even be able to find her in private situations behind an unlocked door or two... Don't get caught!
A lot of VNs I've noticed lately are using AI to create backgrounds quickly (I get it honestly, it's a lot of work) But each background in ShoSakyu is hand drawn after a 3D render of the space has been created, to ensure each background and subsequent scene within the same room will be accurate and consistent.
There are so many more things I would like to say about this game! Solo developing has been a hard but very rewarding experience so far! Look forward to a more in depth Dev Thread soon!
I hope you'll find my game interesting! If you do, please follow progress! I have updates posted on my
