Venus Noire Announcement

Added 2018-01-19 13:02:19 +0000 UTC

As mentioned in the previous gazette post, there are going to be a few changes regarding Venus Noire. Without much further ado, let’s get straight into it.

Announcing Jessika’s Curse

The side project I have been talking about for the last few months will be called Jessika’s Curse. In order to reduce the amount of time I need to spend working on it, I have recruited my friend Yron to be a co-creator on the project. Due to this, and my desire to have a large number of animations, full voice acting, and more, I have decided to start a new patreon for the game (similar to what Sierra and Nomo do over at Hreinn).

What this means for SoC - In the long run, Jessica’s Curse will have no impact on SoC. By starting a new patreon, it will fund itself, meaning money from this patreon will not be spent on it. Also, by recruiting Yron, I will have to do far less work on the project overall, which should assuage worries about time keeping away from SoC.

For those of you interested in Jessika’s Curse, I will be sharing the new patreon very soon, and for those of you who aren’t, you’ll be seeing less about here, so it is a win-win either way. :)

The Eternal Feast Joins Venus Noire

Since Yron and I will be working on Jessica’s Curse together, we have also decided to bring The Eternal Feast under the Venus Noire umbrella. This is primarily a business decision, as it makes more sense, from a long term point of view, to market a studio as opposed to single games. To that aim, we will soon be centralizing information and marketing for all three games to a single Venus Noire channel (tumblr, social media, etc.).

What this means for SoC - Nothing. Yron will continue to spearhead development for The Eternal Feast, while I will continue to do so for SoC. I will be giving him a little bit of help on the project management / development side, but nothing that will take up a great deal of my time.

So, overall, some big changes for Venus Noire, and very little for SoC. Hopefully, those of you interested in adult games will look forward to having more to play, and by doing this, I can eventually turn Venus Noire into a real business, and spend more time and money making them.
