Kickstarter is ALIVE!
6 June, 2017 - naivesprites

Hello, everyone!

We are happy to announce that our second attempt at Kickstarter is now LIVE!

This time our goal is $3,500 and will feature more digital rewards, like Exclusive CG/Event Illustrations, a digital copy of our soundtrack, our AVID Spin-off BL Game, and possibly getting all 8 of AVID’s suitors!

This doesn’t mean our physical rewards are gone, though! Backers at certain tiers or those that want to add-on physical items can still possibly get our metal keychain, 5x7 character prints, body pillowcases, or our acrylic charms!

Also, for backers at the $15 Lotus Tier, not only will you get our digital soundtrack, you’ll also get access to our exclusive Kickstarter backers live streams on our private Facebook group! We do hope to do a Backer Only Live Stream within the first week, possibly during the con if hotel wifi allows for it, but we don’t know for sure yet. Tomorrow night we hope to be able to post a date and time after Justin, Noelle, and Darkenmarr look over their con schedule together.

We love our game, our story, and our characters and want to bring this experience to as many people as possible. We ask if everyone who sees this post could kindly share it to help reach more people. We greatly appreciate it!

Thank you all! We hope to update everyone on our A-kon experience soon!

Next Kickstarter Attempt News
23 May, 2017 - naivesprites

Hello, everyone!

We have some exciting news for you today! Our team plans to launch our next Kickstarter attempt on June 6th at 12PM eastern time. This time our initial goal will be set at $3,500 USD, which covers the remaining songs and backgrounds that we still need for the game. If we reach stretch goals, that money will help us pay for the character art and CGs along with additional objectives like additional poses and additional CGs.

This Kickstarter will also include our Spin-Off game (title still in the works), which will be in the reward tiers. This spin-off game will have a male lead with four possible suitors: two males, one male-to-female transgender, and one female. This game will be released some time after Connor’s and Lowell’s first season stories.

We’ll also be increasing the number of main stories and epilogues that backers can get as rewards from five possible suitors to all eight! So instead of only being rewarded with stories for Gwyn, Emil, Rory, Harlan, and Sven, backers could also get stories for Connor, Lowell, and Julianna as well!

We’ll be adding more digital rewards this time and removing some physical rewards like the T-shirt. The remaining physical reward items will be changed into add-on items, except for the metal 2 inch key chain.

Please, share this news to help build awareness for our Kickstarter and expect more information on the topic soon.

STORY

All stories are written by Noëlle Hyzy, the winner of Voltage Inc.'s 4th Annual International Script Writing Contest for Romance Apps.

A Very Important Date is a café romance set in a strange, yet familiar world, with loose ties to Lewis Carroll's Alice stories. But this isn’t the typical Alice in Wonderland styled adventure! While A Very Important Date takes a few notes from the Carroll classics, you don't have to be a big fan of them to enjoy this game for its rich dialogue, witty humor, and unique art style!

Our story follows Alison Sunderlund, an average small town Ohio girl. By day she can be found working as a server in a local café and by night she takes care of her house and family: her dad and younger brother. Though she doesn't have a lot on her plate, the life she has gives her very little free time. But Alison's life changes one morning when she wakes up sitting under a tree in a brand new world.

Confused, Alison sets out to discover more about her new surroundings, accidentally stumbling upon the Arkwright estate, home of Gwyn Arkwright and The Looking Glass Café. With no place to go and a way back home seeming impossible, Gwyn, being the kind soul that he is, gives Alison a job and a place to stay for the time being. Everything's peachy except... now Alison must choose which of The Looking Glass' five employees will train her!

Will Alison stick with what she knows and remain a server? Will she a cut a new path as a cook's assistant? Will she wipe away her past burdens as a low-level dishwasher? Will Alison ever figure out what strange world she's in? Will she ever return to her old life?

Will she want to?

@CosmicLatte, we're not Greenlit yet, but working on it ^_^ Thank you for the comment.

Also, I agree with you. Though I do understand the VNs or certain genres aren't everyone's cup of tea (I personally don't like FPS's), but I wouldn't go out of my way to hate on them, especially not without trying them first. But thus is the risk one has to take when putting art/a story/a product out in the wild. Hateful comments, destructive remarks, and salt come with the territory. Constructive critiques are always welcomed though!

@Star Dust Legacy, I wish we had more done with the writing actually, but school kept getting in the way. Our sprite and illustration artist works for the military, so her schedule for us is all sorts of wacky. We appreciate her working with us and can't wait to see the rest of the art she'll provide for us. Thank you for the nice comment ^_^ and thank you for being a long time fan!

I am so impressed how much two and half years can do, this looks amazing and I look forward to a chance to play it, have been waiting excitedly since I first heard about the idea way back when.
