Behind the Scenes - Secret Vault [Platinum + VIP]

Hey Platinum supporters!

So... I may have gone down a rabbit hole. Never talked about it because it always felt pretty crazy and far-fetched.

So I was working on scenes and thought "wouldn't THAT be cool?"

So... I had to spend some time on that.

What is it?

I have attached a 30-second sample from the bikini top swap scene (Ari and Ayumi). Dialogue + BGM sound.

It's very experimental. It might not work. But I want to know what you think.

I love the general JP VN aesthetic that inspired this game, and English voices didn't quite fit the vibe - I tried. Japanese VA feels more authentic to the tone I'm chasing.

That said...

This is very early stage. This is absolutely not happening for 0.6.0. Maybe down the line for a special release, maybe a Steam version, or maybe if people think there's a lot of potential here.

Voice work is complex and time-consuming. This sample is rough, not polished.

But if it works, it could make the game more special.

Right now it's just an experiment.

Questions for you

• Does Japanese voice work for an English VN set in a fictional Western-inspired city?
• Does this make the game better or does it feel out of place?
• Do the voices sound like what you would expect?

Curious what you think. Is this cool, or just a weird idea?
