Teaser of version 0.1 and current state of the project


Watch Guilty Force 0.1 Teaser on:




Hi people, I hope that you like our teaser video for version 0.1, which will come very soon™.

I got temporarily stuck on save/loading functionality because it’s much more complex than it was in my previous hentai game and there are several bugs that I want to fix and properly test our whole demo in general (it’s more than 90% ready). Poorly-tested and poorly-polished games is a disaster of modern game industry, so I want to give you the best quality I can to avoid that.

Version 0.1 demo will take from 15 to 40 minutes to complete, depending on your playstyle. It will feature:
  • 4 HCGs
  • at least 6 in-game sex animations
However, there is one issue that I would like to discuss with our audience as a team lead.

I left my job at November 2018 to make the final push to release of public demo, however my estimated timing for its release was a little off. I continued to pay for new art from the remains of my salary, but circumstances may push me into looking for new job very soon. I really like the people that our team consists of and I wanted to avoid launching Patreon without demo, but it is no longer financially possible for me. I am a living human being and I have rent to pay and other bills.

starryGrail and I also are hard at work on writing Stage 2 and a list of assets that we wanted to deliver in the first one or two big updates of the campaign, including new set of supporting characters [do you remember that we introduced some characters on Twitter before, right?]:

Stage 2 will be longer than Stage 1 that is present in the demo and it will include new in-game sex animations and HCGs for gameovers and Visual Novel segments. However, it means that there will be a need to draw and animate sex animations, draw new HCGs, make new 3D models, new voice-over for sex scenes with text, etc., which I will have to pay the artists and other specialists in the team for, too.


I perceive this project as a whole game, which has its beginning, pre-defined set of endings and key plot events. I even have portraits of main antagonists of this game from its start till its end:





Being “Yet Another Unfinished Patreon Project” is not an option for this game.

That is why I would like to humbly ask you to support us on Patreon, so we can finish development at an acceptable quality to our players.

I will post regular updates with information on what assets your money was spent on as well as more frequent and accurate information about the progress of the development. Our patrons will be the first ones to see the demo, then we will gather feedback from them and only after processing feedback we will show it to the public. I think that it’s fair for our supporters to have privileges on that part :)

Stay tuned for the demo and more updates from us!

Sincerely yours,
DarkExecutor

Warming up


Hello again people, long time no see! :)


This update will be brief: lots of things happened, so I decided somewhere during the spring of 2018 that either I’m making this game at full throttle or I should stop making it. Lots of aspects were remade or changed, the game also gained a visual novel mode now that allows a player to access more content and gameplay: developing relationships within the team between the missions and getting access to more and a better variety hentai scenes.


The game now features some additional 3D cutscenes between the levels to better present the scenario.





I have assembled a new team, so allow me to introduce these talented people that work at the difficult job of bringing this game to life:
  • Portraits and HCGs are by professional visual novel artists, Tamask and Ilano
  • 3D models are developed by GloranLee, professional 3D artist who worked on Monster Hunter: World and a host of work on other AAA titles;
  • Writing by starryGrail, a kind person with experience of working on multiple Patreon projects and mobile games with over a million downloads;
  • In-game animations and characters are by RoboticRevolt, an alumni from the Legend of Krystal forums.
The sound design of this game is important, so please meet the people that make this game sound awesome and alive:


The game is localized into English, Russian, Chinese(Traditional) and Chinese(Simplified). Thanks to Brian for Chinese localization.

I would like to thank Rule63Meplz for being with me at some difficult times and making the original 3D models; some of them may go unused, but my appreciation and his place in the Special Thanks section of the credits is guaranteed.

There’s a lot of improvement to the workflow to be made but we are all working very hard to bring this game to full completion - this is where you come in!

I currently pay for the development of this game with my own money, however my own funds wouldn’t be enough to finish it in a timely manner; so we will start our Patreon campaign very soon, with our public demo at launch.
We’ll start introducing main characters of the game to you on our Twitter and Newgrounds accounts soon, so feel free to subscribe to get the latest news there. If it’s more convenient to you to follow this game there - feel free to subscribe to this blog, just remember that my main blog is still on Wordpress.

Cheers!
