Development Blog
Hello! I'm one of the writers and founding members of a small indie VN team currently composed of transgender and non-binary devs dubbed Jockstrap Penguin Studios. We've recently begun development of our first visual novel, entitled Candyfloss, which is centered around the lives of several trans and non-binary teenagers living in central Florida.
Notes:
Ten (10) "romancable" characters
Multiple routes and endings
No adult content/NSFW planned
Written, illustrated, and programmed entirely by trans and NB individuals
The main cast has been fleshed out and writing for the main route is underway, though we've decided to hold off on releasing the characters' bios in full until the appropriate concept art is finished; our sprite artist has already produced a number of preliminary sketches and is in the process of digitizing them. Needless to say, we'll be updating both here and our game dev blog at the soonest opportunity. We also have a Discord server where members can nag the devs keep up with our progress and ask any questions they may have for the team. (In an attempt to curb trolling/harassment, I ask that you message me privately to request an invite link.)
Progress:
Art — Beginning stages
Writing — First draft of the main route has been started; all characters are fully fleshed out
Programming — 0%
Music Composition — Beginning stages
