Welcome testminds. First and foremost, I'd like to apologize for inconsistent updates, our original 1 week and bi weekly update isn't panning out as expected. This will shift us to updating as soon as possible. I would like to personally apologize. Nonetheless, there is much news to discuss as far as the development for the ShadowCircuit VN is concerned. Specifically the Ioda storyline. So lets get down to it.

PROGRESS!!!!!

ShadowCircuit Ioda Episode 0 prologue script is done!!!!!! After many months, we've wrapped up the first prologue. And while doing so, we have gotten to make great work on our characters, and discussing music and tone and further story developments. This has no doubt been difficult, but we have gone through and believe it'll be a very enjoyable experience. We are now moving to developing prototype builds to find out what the prologue play time will be, and we will be providing that information as it becomes available. We do not expect hours of gameplay, as our prologue demo is for the purpose of setting the stage for the entire Ioda story. Nonetheless, we hope it becomes an enjoyable experience. And I will discuss the builds and demos and how you can access them later in this post.

ART!!!!!

Art for ShadowCircuit has been rough. With on and off artists, it's been hard, but we have made great strides!!!!!! ShadowCircuit Ioda is officially out of the conceptual phase and we have begun creating our ingame characters and designing the overall player experience. Art will be posted as it becomes available.

PATREON!!!!!

Creating a game is no easy task, it requires passion, dedications, patience, and funding. Until now, ShadowCircuit has been funded out of pocket. This was done because we felt that we should have more than a concept, if we are to crowdfund such and endeavor. And we believe we are at that point. We wanted to make sure people knew that what they were investing wasn't a dream, but a full project that they will eventually get their hands on. I am happy to announce that Lithium will now be moving forward and creating a patreon to help support and improve overall quality of the game. What does this mean for you? Well, through your patreon donations, we will be able to afford to bring production to a higher quality. This however, DOES NOT affect the pricing model of the game. ShadowCircuit Ioda and future VN's will remain at the "Name Your Price" option. Allowing EVERYONE to play, while allowing support. Patreon members will be gaining exclusive access to our discord, prototype guilds, and early dev builds of the game, as well as special thanks and other stuff we are planning. This is completely optional. Prototype builds nor dev builds will have content exclusive to them. Being a patreon support simple will allow you to play the game episodes earlier and allow you to be directly in contact with us via Discord.

Expansion!!!!!

There are many great artists, VA's, and writers. And Lithium would personally invite you to join the ShadowCircuit team in producing a rich world and amazing game experience. Whether you do Voice acting, art, programming, social media management, writing, we'd love a chance to talk to you.
