Active Kickstarters
Speakeasy (18+) Funded: An otome set in a 1920’s jazz club. They’re in the last few days of the campaign; working towards a stretch goal for MC skin tone customization.
Of Sense and Soul (BL)
A slow burn BL set in 1870’s Victorian London. Features reserved journalist Hugo, and outgoing gentleman (as in landed gentry) Seamus. Includes a letter writing mechanic. They are currently on track to fall narrowly short short of funding.
VERBENA: A Romance Visual Novel
A paranormal visual novel set in 80’s small town Vermont. The devs canceled the original kickstarter 1/3 of the way through and relaunched it. The updated campaign is better, but I’m a little bit concerned because this is their first project and they haven’t responded to a question I sent them.
Ooh Speakeasy sounds like something to watch. I love the 20s art deco jazz aesthetic, and there isn’t enough R18 otome out there. Thanks for this roundup.
I don’t think this is R18 but Let’s Misbehave is also set in America in the 1920s. I asked and the title is a Cole Porter reference!
Thanks for the rec! At first glance, the character art style seems not to my tastes, but I’ll give it a whirl, maybe it has an excellent story or LI.
The faces feel really weird, but I have a history of giving interesting settings or premises more leeway on art.
I also saw this:
All our sprites will actually be redone, as the sprite artist who did the current sprites has not been able to continue due to unforeseen circumstances. The style is different, but we’ll have sprites for all the characters mentioned and upcoming!
It looks so good, doesn’t it? I ended up backing their kickstarter so I could buy some of their stickers.
I’m intrigued enough that I made it my first ever Kickstarter backing!
