Hey guys, long time no see. First of all, this isn't post announcing return of The Dark Lord Rises, unfortunately. I did some tinkering here and there, trying to reignite the flame, but for now, I'm letting that project rest. I might return to it some day, though probably in a different way than simple continuation.
Now, as I mentioned before, I've decided to start something new. Over the course of my Christmas holidays I finally found some time to build proper foundations for my new game. Game, which for now I'll call by its working title, Noblesse Oblige.
I've moved from RPG Maker to more popular Ren'py and decided to make pure visual novel. And by pure, I mean, in vein of Japanese VNs, without any fancy gameplay. As for theme, it will be as with The Dark Lord Rises - corruption and mind control fiesta, though this time with less lore and more... well, porn. Player shall take a role of evil mastermind, trying to defeat a sentai squad. Basically, if someone played (unfortunately, untranslated) Japanese games from Maika or Heat-Soft, you might know what to expect.
I currently plan for game to have four main routes, each representing different 'flavours' of corruption. So, there will be simple brainwashing, transformation/remodeling, magical shenanigans and, for the last route, something special. As with latest versions of TDLR, I'm relying on Honey Select for graphics, though I tried to make sure my characters do not resemble generic models, so common in many other H-games.
Here's a link to the early version of the game, containing entire intro (and one H-scene). Below you'll find some screenshots, if you're unsure how the game will look. Please mind, it's still an early build. I don't plan to have another release until at least one route is finished.
Enjoy!
