AnimeCon Harem (Visual Novel) Guide (Patreon)
Content
Announcing a western erotic game Ren'py adaptation (visual novel or dating sim) of AnimeCon Harem is in the works. I'd originally planned to have a reader meetup at Pittsburgh's Tekkoshocon, but after the cancellation of the 2020 Tekko due to covid-19, I instead made it my goal to bring the convention experience to readers.
Writing—FortySixtyFour
Character design—YeMcBear
Animation—Goorie Art
Background illustrations—Basem_S1
Composer—TennesseeFlores
We are not a game team, however—I'm hiring on a per-commission basis for game assets out of my own income rather than promising them future potential Patreon dividends. The eroge represents a significant commitment, and as such project progress will only be visible to patrons at the $5 VIP tier and higher, with monthly polls that help determine where to focus what we're working on.
The current scope of the project for first release is to cover the storyline through most of the first two days of the convention. That's Part 1 through Part 7, but at the moment will omit almost all of Part 4 (Emily flashbacks) as those are hard to make a priority with the amount of new assets they would need.
We do not have a working game as of now, and will not have an alpha release until we have sufficient character sets and special scene illustrations to make a worthwhile first game release. The plan is to continuously update and improve the project with additional illustrations and content, and public release of game versions will follow behind VIP tier access by six months.
