Information about Hinomori Nights

First off, I want to thank you all for your kind emails and questions about my new game Hinomori Nights.

So far it's been a lot of fun creating these new charcters, and reworking the game engine to fit my needs.

I want to give back to all of you Patrons as best as I can, and I'm working on a few things right now to do so, My main focus right now however, is to get out a decent build to all of you so that you can enjoy the game as I have been.

Before that though, I have more progamming to do. So I figure, why not talk about the game with all of you, and that way you have a better idea of what I'm hoping to achieve.

--------------

Hinomori Nights is intended to be a Persona-like experience, where it borrow similar ideas and themes to those games. It's also borrowing from my previous games, in order to keep up with a steady adult-oriented focus but also with te life-sim gameplay that I enjoy.

You will play as a Yu Narukami-like figure who has recently moved to Hinomori to complete his final year of education at the local high school. While there, you will meet a cast of interesting charcters, and of course, you will attempt to befriend them.

The girl characters are intended to be dateable, and over time scenes will unlock with them.

Alongside all this, the town itself will host a cast of wacky charcaters, much like my previous game The Midnight Channel. I plan to create a Mmain stroyline that the player goes through, as well as multiple random stories that the player can experiene if they feel like it.

So far, all girl characters are written and modeled after specific girls from Persona that I want to work with in my game. In doing so, they have found their own voice and become characters I'm starting to get to know and enjoy.

I really hope this happens for you all too.

My running tally of characters so far are as follows : 

Lio Kobayashi - The main character of the game.

Kazuki Tanaka - A lively and energetic character. He brings a mischievous sense of humor and camaraderie to the group.

Aria Suzuki - An outgoing and aspiring singer/actress character. She is 19 years old and navigates the balance between her public persona and private life.

Haruka Nakamura - A tomboy-like character. She is 18 years old and aspires to become a skilled martial artist.

Ayumi Fujimoto - A graceful and elegant character. She is 18 years old and dreams of breaking free from the expectations of her family's tea empire.

Nozomi Sakurauchi - A bright and intelligent character with a passion for gardening. She is 19 years old and seeks to bring justice and harmony to the school community.

Ms.Sato - Lio's foster parent and a widow. She provides support and guidance to Lio as he attends Hinomori High School.

Momo - A creature who works as a secretary in the crimson world. Her boss has given her the task of watching over Lio on his mission.

I will be updating the Patreon with images of all these characters soon!

Anyway, back to work.

Thanks,
