Upcoming Games!

Heya, Royce here, with two upcoming visual novels!

One is a spiritual sequel to Full Service Shop, aiming to take a Transmasc eye toward dark academia and "forbidden knowledge."

Mockup sprite for our ropes expert- I'm trying out animation!


I've got over 35k words written across five routes, with safeword functionality making a return! I've also been doing a lot of design work for the characters and the offices. Last time, every technician's office was functionally the same, but I'm looking to add some big and beautiful environments this time. I want it to be aesthetically pleasing, but the kinks are also going to require more resources, this time...

Three takes on the same greenhouse location!


We're also assembling five routes, and each is an academic, magician, or mad scientist of some sort. It's important that they have big personalities, and since this isn't for a game jam, I'm also doing a lot of sketching and tooling about to try to figure out how they should each look:

What does Art Nouveau look like on people who identify as men? What does it mean to express feminine beauty as a man? Amical has some ideas~


Tsushi is working on two routes, and I'm working on three. We're pretty excited with what we've got so far, and I'm happy that this game isn't for a jam; it's nice to lavish more time and love onto a project! We don't have a release date yet, but keep your eyes here on itchio, I'll let you know when its ready!

I'm also working on another game, and this one's in the world of May I Take Your Order. If you wanted to go back to that restaurant, this is your chance! 



NonPlatonic Forms is a spooky little romance about a tricky human and a hungry, dying storytelling deity who wants to scoop out his free will and make him into a sycophantic member of his eternal audience. I'm working the placeholder elements for this one, too, but if you'd like to see a scene in motion, check out the video below:


And yes, Talaiporia and Hendrik will not just be in it, but will be very important characters to the story. I'm still hashing out updated designs for them:

Concept sketches for Talaiporia and Hendrik


So yeah, I've been very hard at work! If you'd like to play either of these games early, as well as regular updates and production art, then you'll want to head on over to my Patreon. Especially if you're interested in that last game. I can only fund NonPlatonic Forms if I can make some more money on Patreon or Ko-fi, so please consider helping out before the deadline. I'm not looking to get tens of thousands of dollars for a whole production budget; I'd just like to make a couple hundred a month to keep the heat on over the winter. We're already halfway to the goal, so if a handful of you chip in, we can lock it down nice and quickly and I can get going! You'll see immediate results; NonPlatonic Forms already has an early build of over 11k words, so you could be playing it, in-browser, in the next five minutes.

Either way, thank you so much for playing my games and following me here on itch.io! I love playing and making visual novels, and it's been such a delight to see so many people enjoying what I make. Every warm comment keeps pushing me further forward, and I'm deeply grateful!

as a nonbinary person who recently figured out what flavors of transmasculinity make sense to me, i can't overstate how exciting this announcement is 馃グ

Wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that, and I hope that our game is something that...I dunno, helps you feel seen? XD It can be really hard to talk generally about these things without words dissolving into a mush. XD It's so much easier to do through a character voice and a specific scenario, but I hope you catch my drift!

I've been hoping for a version of Full Service Shop aimed at transmascs! There's so little NSFW content out there for transmasc folks, so it makes me so happy to see something made for people like me!!

We鈥檙e having a good time working on it! While working on FSS, I realized that it felt less like it was mine, and more like I wanted to give a gift to transfemmes out there. But this one is more personal, it鈥檚 making something for myself. I won鈥檛 know until we鈥檝e made it, but it鈥檚 coming from a very honest place, and I hope that it resonates with my fellow transmascs, and gives them a really good time! 馃榿
