New Project – Modular Story R18 RPG: Choose the Fate of the Salamir Continent!
Before diving into the details of this new project, I would like to introduce the lead illustrator for our upcoming series—Mao!
Mao is a highly experienced artist whose expertise has greatly compensated for my shortcomings in illustration, significantly enhancing the visual quality of our works. Starting with this game, Mao will be taking charge of the art direction, while I will provide support along the way.

New Project – Stigma of Corruption: Nightbound Courier
Hello, everyone! Over the past months, we’ve been working diligently on a brand-new R18 RPG—a journey filled with adventure, choices, and desires. Today, I am excited to introduce this game’s world setting, characters, gameplay features, and current development progress!
Story Background: The Turmoil of Salamir
The protagonist is a novice courier with dreams of traveling the world. He lives in the peaceful Dawnreach Village, where his journey begins.
One day, a group of heroes arrives, shattering the village’s tranquility. They have come to eliminate the remnants of a past war, but their mission ends in disastrous failure. The entire hero party is wiped out, the village is destroyed, and an unknown threat looms over humanity.
With the last of his strength, one of the dying heroes entrusts a crucial secret to the protagonist, urging him to deliver this information to the royal capital. Accompanying him is his childhood friend, but the journey ahead is fraught with schemes and desires. What fate awaits them?
Gameplay Features: Modular Storytelling
This game features a modular narrative system, where each chapter’s choices significantly impact the subsequent developments. Your decisions will shape the protagonist’s and his childhood friend’s fate, leading to divergent story paths and multiple endings.
🔹 Open-Ended Journey – Multiple routes lead to the royal capital, each offering unique events and challenges.
🔹 Branching Storylines – At least three main routes, with overlapping chapters depending on your choices.
🔹 Pure Love vs. Corruption – Meeting certain conditions allows for a pure love route, leading directly to the capital. Otherwise, the journey becomes more perilous, filled with temptations and dangers.
🔹 Multiple Endings – The protagonist and his childhood friend’s fate is entirely in your hands. Your choices will shape vastly different outcomes.
Map & World Overview
The game’s story unfolds across several key locations:
🏡 Dawnreach Village – The protagonist and his childhood friend’s hometown, the starting point of their journey.
🏰 Royal Capital – The heart of human civilization and the final destination of the protagonist.
🕸️ Villages Along the Way – The protagonist can seek help from different settlements, though hidden dangers lurk within.

New characters are looking really good!!
感觉女主形象没有上一部那种人妻感😭
在新的系列“堕落的圣痕”中可能不会存在人妻角色了。这是因为我想尝试不同的风格。不过，在“末日”系列的后续作品中，依然以人妻角色为主。
好耶~！新作！！希望这作可以多一点母乳回想~来多一点人妻吧！！
I will 100% be there for the Blacksmith scenes with the ladies 😁
Sounds exciting, I am interested! As for costume I like the first one the most, it reminds me of yoruichi from bleach
Pretty sure that the scope is too big. You should focus on a single story, else, we will be waiting for 2 years atleast to get a decent amount of scenes.
Maybe...it won't take that long?
Sir, you're awesome! Your debut game is marvellous with all it's up's and down's! I trully wish to you that your second game will be even better with all what you have learned!
I’ve learned some hard lessons from the first game. Now that I have a better understanding of the entire development process, I’m confident that the second game will progress much faster.
Sad to know that you won't make the art for the game cause I really love your style, but I'm sure this will still be really good with the new artist ❤️
Maintaining a consistent style is crucial. Since I am currently focused on creating CGs for the expansion content, I want to prioritize moving the new game’s development forward. Therefore, the illustration work for the new game will be entrusted to the new artist. While his style differs from mine, his extensive experience in illustration makes him a great fit for the project. I will assist him where needed and handle some additional in-game artwork myself.
I'm excited to hear about your next game, much more the new theme, magic and fantasy are always my favorites. Regarding the poll, 0 & 1 are much more alluring than 2, I'd say 1 is better among the three.
Thank you for your feedback!
