ABOUT ME:
I'll start by introducing myself: I'm a 20 year old guy with a passion for video games since I was a child: I've always dreamed of creating a game, MY game. I signed up on F95, and playing various games I became passionate about the world of VNs, where every choice you make can drastically change the story of the game, and I love this. So I decided to roll up my sleeves and get busy creating my first game to make my dream come true. And this is where Last Sunset comes in!

ABOUT THE GAME:
After surviving a motorcycle accident that killed your girlfriend, you start over at a new university, hoping to escape the past. But as strange things begin happening around you, it becomes clear that your new life is tangled with dark secrets. Something from your past won’t stay buried—and it’s coming for you. Can you unravel the mystery before it consumes you?

EXPECTATIONS & FEATURES:
My goal with Last Sunset is to create a unique experience that you can immerse yourself in. I think that music plays a fundamental role in a game, which is why every song you will hear in the game has been produced by me.
Even though this is my first project ever, I have very high expectations, because I'm doing this mainly for myself, but I will be very happy to share this project with you one day.

For the first release I expect:
~1000 static renders;
few animations;
Official Soundtrack release;


This thread will be updated constantly as progress is made, maybe one day we can all see the first sunrise of this game. :KEK:
That's all I can tell you so far! I'll leave you some renders here! Stay tuned on my Discord!

Hi everyone!
Over the weekend I finished 30 static renders, wrote script code for episode 1, created few characters and as soon as I have time I will work on several animations for a lewd scene (wish me good luck).
I wish you a good week! see ya.

Thank you so much! I am glad you like it! Yes, I started Daz a few months ago, but it was nothing serious, I just spent my free time playing with lighting and trying to learn it (Same thing for Renpy). I will use this project to learn and improve about Daz Renders & animations, and scripts/coding regarding renpy.
Right now I am rendering an animation, just for testing, but I am not satisfied about the movement... maybe I'll post the video here later.
(P.S My GPU is making more noise than newest Starship engine during launch right now).

Hello everyone!
Due to work, I haven't been able to dedicate much time to development this week, but Last Sunset is moving forward and I am very proud of it! Next week I'll be able to dedicate way more time for it.
Wish you an happy weekend!

Hi there!
During these weeks I produced 14 music soundtrack for the First Episode Release, planning to add more. Also +100 and 3 animations have been rendered meanwhile and many events still to develop. I'm trying my best to work on this project.

See you and Stay tuned!

Hi!
Just a short post to show you the results so far and how the work is proceeding: 260 static renders & 5 animations (=145 renders) have been rendered so far, so we can say in total 405 renders. At this point I think I am only at 10% of the first episode.
I don't know which direction to go yet, I have several ideas but they still need to be implemented and improved.

Steady progress bro! Even with no clear direction it's clear you are still passionate and working hard at the game, i am going to give some ideas how you could approach your situation right now.

1. If you dont have much problem with giving away some plot hints you could set a Discord or a thread here with some vote pools listing your ideas to see what the public is more keen on.
2. Search for a experienced writer to work with you, the good ones generally are paid work, but you could lucky out with a good newbie wanting to make a joint project.
3. Choose a good history that you really like and take inspiration in them, adapt some parts that you want different and work from there.

All these are valid, a first game is always a challenge because we want to give some good first impression, but the key is to not stop and keep working, even if the result isn't what we really wanted, a launched game is always better than idealized one.
You can always rework the plot and the mechanics later, you already have good renders on your side!
I hope that one of the suggestions would spark in you a bit of inspiration in how to proceed, good luck!

You're right guys, I've been very busy with work in this period and due to a lot of stress I had gone into burnout... I didn't know which direction to go with the project, now I figure out something, but who said the project isn't continuing? ;)
Before the full release of the first episode, I am planning to give you a chance to play a small preview so that you can try it out and give me some feedback, what do you think?
Thank you for showing me there is interest in this project, I hope I will not disappoint you!
I think the time has come to announce a little preview of the Plot and Overview that Last Sunset will talk about:

I'm back and on track!
I'm currently working on the renderings right now, at the moment I have 523 completed renderings and others are queued to be rendered, I can say we are getting closer to the release of early access: Only 6 events left and write the script, but I'm very inspired these days so I hope to speed up my workflow!
I present to you a new character meanwhile... it's Zoe's turn, Victoria's best friend! And she can't wait to meet you!

I decided to make a part of the episode longer and I'm working on an animation and I think it will be the last one for the early access version. The dialogues are ready, they just need to be inserted into the script. 5 events left. VicPrev.png
