Carmilla : Crimson Moon | Laura in her chemise

New art from my dark yuri vampire VN 'Carmilla : Crimson Moon' based on the original Carmilla novel.

This is Laura in her chemise, an outfit Victorian women wore for bed. We have tried to stay close to the original designs of such outfits for Laura. Ahem, not so much for Carmilla :)
The demo is out on Steam! Please do wishlist if you like what you see!!!

New Characters in my dark vampire yuri VN 'Carmilla Crimson Moon'

Hi!

I have been away plugging at the final script of my dark yuri visual novel Carmilla Crimson Moon.
It is based on the original gothic novel Carmilla.

You can play the demo on Steam!!! Please do wishlist if you find this interesting.

I want to share two new characters!

I felt that one of the maids needed a sprite of her own. I was keen to involve her more. So here is Dorrie! With her rather sweet but slightly feisty nature!

We also have General Spielsdorf, the wily General. He was mentioned in the demo but here he is in the flesh. What is he up to?

I still plan to release on October 26th! So you will see more regular posts as we approach that date. :)

New Character Intro : Lady Viktoria

Hi everyone! Just thought of sharing a new character in my dark yuri vampire VN 'Carmilla Crimson Moon'.

I'm delighted to introduce Viktoria! And if we are going to get very formal, Lady von Morgenfall.
I'm excited (and ever so slightly scared) because I have created a completely new character who isn't in the original 1872 novel.
Lady von Morgenfell is the daughter of the most prominent family in Styria. She isn't the most easy to get along with but makes up for it with her steadfast loyalty.

If this sounds interesting, please do play the demo or wishlist Carmilla Crimson Moon on Steam!

Request to Playtest : Carmilla Crimson Moon

Hi there! I'm very close to releasing the demo of my first VN Carmilla : Crimson Moon.
Yaay! (So scared, so so scared :) )

Before I release it on itch and Steam, I was hoping that 4 or 5 people (please!) play it and test for bugs, vibes and all that. The demo length is around 30 minutes.
Two major caveats :

  1. CGs are still being drawn so you will see placeholders there. Sorry :(
  2. I am still working on the menu below the dialogue boxes.

Steam link : https://store.steampowered.com/app/4488990/Carmilla__Crimson_Moon/

Would you be interested? You will have to answer around 10 questions (not more than that... promise). I will share a google form with the questions.

Questions like:

  1. How long did you take to complete the demo?
  2. Could you connect with Carmilla and Laura emotionally?
  3. Did you think a particular scene or set of dialogues felt awkward and/ or unnecessary?
  4. Did you get bored at any point of time and feel like stopping?
  5. Did you feel like the choices had weight?

Please comment here or message me directly!

I will have the playtest version out by Friday, with those caveats so you might have to find time during the weekend to play it.
I don't have much to give but I would love to include your name as a playtester in the final game. If you allow it, of course.

Please recommend a font for my dark gothic visual novel.

Hi! I'm making a visual novel called Carmilla : Crimson Moon based on the original novel from 1872. It has strong gothic influences! I'm currently using a generic font across the visual novel. (seen in the picture).

But I would love to use a font which evokes that gothic vibe. The problem with a lot of beautiful fonts is they are difficult to read for a long time. I think Almendra might work (shared a sample). But I would love to get recommendation from this subreddit. I do think I have come to the perfect place on the internet :)

My main conditions are :
a) Easy to read over long periods of time
b) Inspire a gothic vibe
c) Free for commercial use (I'm a solo indie gamedev. Please have mercy :) )

Edit : Hi. I have removed the link just in case it crosses guidelines. I had added it because people usually ask me for it. I am genuinely not trying to advertise the game :)

How do I market to Japanese audiences?

Hi. I'm making a dark yuri visual novel Carmilla Crimson Moon. I have wishlists and views from diverse set of countries but not to many from Japan. Obviously Japanese audiences have a large appetite for visual novels so I'm keen they at least see my VN. Are there any best practices you follow to get your VN in front of Japanese audiences?
