Heya! Bacon here.

For this jam, our team's gunning for a neo-noir VN. I'm the writer, working together with Kamaloba as all-around artist, skarn as programmer and Tobin Reece as resident sound hound. Our previous programmer, olive, was in charge of the customized sprite script and the shooting minigame.

The game's got smooth-talkin' gangsters, dirty cops, butch futch  fatales, some angsty themes and the whole black and white aesthetic (ok, there are pops of color too).

A fair warning: given the nature of the story, there will be character death. I'm writing this as true to noir as possible.

Quick plot summary:

A down and out extortionist goes through a personal five day hell after her brother's murder. Love interests are a dirty cop and her gangster Boss.

As of Day 9, we've got around 10k worth of dialogue, a minigame in the works, six tracks for the game, as well as a couple art assets (some BG, GUI, and 3 default sprites).

Here's a sample screen of what we've got so far.

And the artist delivers!

Meet the crooks.


From left to right:

Rosca (our MC), Inspector Leola, the Boss and Oberon. A shady crowd, for sure.

Programmer is still fleshing out the extortion minigame, but the shooting minigame is up and running.

cropped because spoilers lel


And a few tunes, too. Might put up previews once ok'ed by the sound hound.


While I'm putting up a literal wall of text, brick by brick. Thank goodness for neon and black!

Thanks for checking us out, bruh. o>

Yeah, we're going for a bleaker tone here. Hide the kiddies, folks!
Though there probably won't be any NSFW art here, heh.

We're joined by skarn, who will now be our primary programmer for the project!
(And if you're thirsty for more yuri, check out their game Melos~)

Also set up a lemmasoft thread here, with quick character descriptions, for the curious.

The extortion minigame will have a timed typing mechanic; here's a down and dirty preview of things to come:

Current word count is sitting at 14.5k. That's 29% of a 50k script. oh god what did i get myself into lel

EDIT: ALSO fuck, i just noticed that the screencaps feature a very poor combination of words.

NSA, if you're reading this, please don't lock me up:
this game doesn't have anything to do with children, or entertainment with children ;u;
