Circle2Labs and PassionEye

The time has finally come \o/

Myself and my partners are proud to unveil PassionEye, a game project currently in development by Circle2Labs, a company owned by SmokeOfC (The owner of the Koikatsu discord server).

The game is available for wishlisting as of now on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2109750) and the company official discord is available at https://discord.gg/6k6Kq37zeB

Taking place on a tropical island, you find yourself in the shoes of a private eye, tasked by the government.. but to what end?

Is really all as it seems, and who is on your side, if anyone?

The game will be entering Early Access very soon, with a Character Creator and Studio mode, while still heavily under development, as we're going live at this point to garner feedback and gauge interest in features as we're working on it.

We now got a solid foundation, and we're starting to work on more advanced features as we move ahead.

Now, This game is anime style, and I know there's a lot of people here that much prefer the realistic style, so while it's far too early to give any details about what comes after PassionEye, we can at this point confirm that we'll be aiming for a realistic or psuedo-realistic style for our next game, utilizing the foundation we've been working on for PassionEye.

I will be looking forward to seeing you all going forward \o/

... ... In other news.

Ownership and Maintenance of BetterServices (BetterPaste and BetterCensorship) is now handed over to Circle2Labs, where... well... I will be still dealing with it internally =P

BetterRepack continues as per normal, and I'm looking forward to picking up speed here as well again :)

Will it have VR?

It's a bit early to nail our colours to the mast on that one unfortunately. We want VR and are keeping the possibility in mind as we're making the game, but it's not a high priority right now, so can't really declaratively state if we're going to support it or no at this point in time.

I knew it'd be a game! Heck even myself had dreamed of making one ('had' coz honestly lack every skill for lol). Wishlisted, followed. And man, is it just me or does the character give you such an artificial academy vibe? I miss those good ol' days ... Anyway, best wishes! Can't wait to meet YOU as the MC in the game Screwy \o/

Now I get to be the Dick Richard I always wanted to be. \o/ I'm very intrigued about the premise and what mechanics might be there. If there are Dev Diaries, where can I find them? Looks rough, but I'm looking forward to how it shapes up!

ScrewThisNoise · January 13, 2024

We don't currently keep a dev blog, but we've been talking about it, and will probably look to do so at some point after Early Access is live. There will be a Q and A session on the Discord tomorrow, so if you're interested: https://discord.com/events/1164870575081127946/1195473909580038184

Interesting ! Looking forward to test it, was getting really bored of the Illusion games as a whole, hope this one will improve on the formula !

Neko Astolfo · January 12, 2024

This is probably a stupid question but are you aiming to create a basically better Koikatsu with this?

S
ScrewThisNoise · January 12, 2024

We're creating our own game, and will be intending to offer an alternative or supplementary game to what already exists.
