Dude I just wanna appreciate how active you guys are with the fandom. A lot of VN authors kinda make a game and then leave never to be heard from again. I guess it might be because of stress or maybe people being angry at the specific way a character is made or something or just a lot of pressure. I personally don't get how that would make them wanna quit doing art or something like that if that's what they really wanna do but I can't draw I can only write so I don't think I'll ever understand that issue. But you guys are so active and answer questions about the characters and y'all seem to have a genuine passion for what you're doing and that seems to make the game like idk 800 times better! I hope everything continues to go well for you guys and I'm just so happy to have a vn artist who actually wants to continue their amazing ass game!!
Aw! This so sweet, anon. Thank you.
Tbh, I think a lot of people just do stuff like this as a side hobby to try it, and then leave when the demands of the fandom become too much. I think there's definitely a difference between wanting to make art/games and wanting to put it up in public to be scrutinized... They might still be making stuff, but privately, which I think is completely valid.
But, personally, when I started making VNs, I kinda realized... this is everything I wanted to do in life? I love art, writing, and coding, and I'm thinking about stories 24/7, and I really love talking about my hyperfixations with people, so even getting to engage with the Tumblr is a treat for me. The fact that people support me over Ko-Fi and Patreon makes this arrangement even sweeter, because I get to do what I want to do without other obligations irl, and I think this is a mutual relationship where all of you get to benefit too because the more free time I have = the more I can make stuff for you. :)
As far as I'm concerned, this current arrangement is ideal for me, and it far outweighs any other possible cons. So... thank you to everyone here too!
Clovis: I just wanna add on some thoughts to this: It's so important to be excited and collaborative but NOT a people pleaser when doing this stuff! I seriously think trying to be a people pleaser and anticipate every audience demand is what crushes the spirit of a lot of creatives. They attract the wrong type of fans and lose their own passion by doing this. And it's hard for the right type of fans to really respect the artistic vision and integrity when they see things being made more palatable at the expense of the creator's intention and passion, so literally nobody wins.
There's a difference between being thoughtful about audience experience and wanting them to have fun with you VS just letting them bulldoze you on every whim or assuming it's better to water down your ideas to the point that it appeals to everyone (and therefore no one).
Anyway, yeah, the fundraising response has been so wonderful for this project that I want to be equally generous and open with what I give back while talking about the project, especially since this'll be my first time as a full time co-writer. I want the integrity and investment to come through in the way I talk about my characters so you feel good about supporting this and see where the money is going.
Okay, I finished all the hitmen's sprites! I still have a few non-hitmen I wanna do and some character profiles, but all the main guys are done, yayyy.
Her name was Roxie. She was 11 years old and she was the cutest little shithead chihuahua in the fucking world with her with her color, pattern, and lil tail that would spin like a helicopter for everyone she met. She was my baby and she loved me just as much if not more than I loved her
Her very first day with us and her very last
Thank you for 10 wonderful years my precious lil baby Roxie Bear
Idk if i tagged it right so I am so sorry if this topic bothers you
Considering the main goals of the Ko-Fi were met, the overall scope of the game has now been decided. I will try my best to fulfill everything & I now have a basic outline on what I will be doing for the game! Some things may change, but it'll likely be minor adjustments instead of big things like the goals in the write-up.
Plot: You have been scouted by Gwyn Winters to join as a newly recruited hitman in Mars Rosengold's elite hitman team. You can play as Lost Connections' protagonist, Sparrow, and continue your romance with Pavel Volkov, or as a fresh, new character. It takes place three years after Lost Connections, but you don't actually need to play that game to play Hitmen Stories.
The base game will have five planned "episodes" with an overarching storyline and five love interests.
Episode 1 will cover quick introductions, a training montage, a mission that will kickstart the rest of the plot, and Wendy's recruitment.
Genre will be crime thriller. It will have some dark themes with the romances and explicit sexual content.
Planned Release Date: Maybe February 2027, but that might be too optimistic. However, I plan on releasing it episode by episode on Patreon alongside Reanimated Heart updates.
Price: The base game will be free, but future DLC will not. I am thinking DLC will be more episodes with new missions so they will be pretty chunky as well.
Planned Features:
Like I said, five whole love interests!
A free digital artbook with all the art and backgrounds in the game, as well as details about the hitmen
An Image and Endings gallery
Custom items and backgrounds (although I will use stock images for some bgs)
New Original Songs (At least 4 planned & already paid for)
MC will have more elaborate gender/sex options and custom stats based on a homebrew system I've created for the game. MC can also choose starting backgrounds to add to stats and storytelling, where the Player can pick if they were previously a Mercenary, a Con Artist, or a Getaway Driver.
A training sequence for MC and an assigned "mentor" depending on specialization.
More elaborate gameplay like quick time events and dice roll mechanics.
NSFW scenes available for all Love Interests and other Hitmen members. Options to be open/poly within the group or exclusive for select characters.

hiii! I’m just wondering what is the Whitman series? I highkey just figured out what it is but I am very confused the only thing I know is that it’s connected to lost connections
It's a Hitman-themed game that is the highly requested sequel for Lost Connections where you play as a newly hired hitman for an elite criminal organization.
We are posting about it a lot to gain funding for the project! You can read about the goals document here.
I will be writing up some details I planned for the game soon...
You can check out more details about the project here.
You are a young witch who has just reached an important stage in their magical journey. Finding a demonic partner.
To do this, like any other witch, you must journey to Gothal, the kingdom of demons and pick out your ideal partner. Of course, there's always time to indulge in the local culture while you're there, which thrives on lust and carnal pleasures.
What you don't expect is to also be roped into the royal family's drama. Or to be tasked with solving the case of a greedy demon leaving soulless witches in its wake.
The Price of Lust is an upcoming NSFW game aimed at female and queer audiences about witches, demons, angels and embracing your own desires.
18+ AUDIENCES ONLY, MINORS HAVE NO PLACE HERE
Point and click mechanics
Customizable pronouns and genitalia for the MC
Choices allowing different personalities
5+ romance options
Several illustrated NSFW scenes
Several submissive male love interests, 2 dominant female love interests
This project is primarily an erotic game. There will be no options for skipping or avoiding such content in the game.
