VN Ren'Py The Rising Son [Upcoming Cyberpunk-Themed Erotic Game] ~ Development Journal

[ssbarryerotica]

Greetings fellow citizens!​

The year is nearing its end and it has been a while since our previous update. This brief post is intended to once again assure that work on The Rising Son is well underway, despite some hurdles, tweaks and updates.

As a matter of fact, we are well into the proper rendering phase of the actual in-game CGs. One of the updates being referred to is that we finally decided to switch from Genesis 8 to 8.1 for our characters for some further potential improvement in our CGs. Some technical difficulties and time constraints have also held back progress, but nonetheless, we have been putting our utmost effort towards getting the Day 1 demo of The Rising Son ready for publishing.

While you wait though, in the meantime, here are a few previews from one of the in-game scenes, along with a bonus/promotional CG. All of these feature the G8.1 versions of our characters, so you might notice some differences and improvements.

After countless hours of careful consideration, we've decided to replace all male characters with female counterparts, as well as implement a new feature allowing you to interrupt the dialogue at any point to initiate steamy girl on girl action with the characters present in the scene.

To show our commitment to this exciting new direction, please enjoy the 13492nd iteration of Joji's character design.

Sex scenes will otherwise not be present within The Rising Son.

Happy April Fools. =P

Short version:
Prostitution in Toyomi is a business, just like a spa or salon/barber. You pay for the service, tell the person providing that service what you want, they provide that service at the place of business, and you go on your way.

Lore dump version:
Sex and prostitution has become as corporatized as most other aspects of life in the Empire, and it's no different in Toyomi. The Tachibana clan owns nearly all brothels and similar businesses, keeping the majority of these locations under the label of The Peach Tree, leading to prostitutes being referred to as Peaches in polite company, matching the company's job description (even when the Peach doesn't work at a Peach Tree location).

Not to say there are no independent sex workers - many larger cities, including Toyomi, have street walkers that will solicit other citizens for sex in return for payment, and often for a much lower rate than the premium charged by The Peach Tree. Why pay out your ass and go into debt for a girl that'll forget you exist as soon as you walk out the door? All the extra pink neon? A glass of your favorite poison that costs as much as the whole bottle? Just follow them a little further down the alley, and they'll give you something better than anything you've seen surfing for porn on the Grid. Real is always better than digital, baby.

However, these people are still prosecuted by Tachibana samurai - not for the nature of their work, but because of the effect on Peach Tree profits. Peaches are expensive because they're well cared for, and the same is not true of the people moving from customer to customer on the streets, their last customer still dripping down their thighs, sometimes not even having a room to bring their customers to for some privacy, and almost always lacking any sort of healthcare. It's much safer and much better to spend the extra Mon for a clean partner with all the amenities you could ask for. And if you can't afford it, The Peach Tree offers a wide selection of digital dates with an even wider selection of Peaches. All you need to do is visit their gridsite.

At least, that's what the ads say.

Season's greetings, citizens!

We apologize for the long wait since our last update. We don't want you to think we're leading you on, so we'll be honest with you - life is expensive. Development on The Rising Son has slowed to a crawl, largely because the team has needed to put more attention into other projects that have already been established in order to keep bills paid. That's not to say development has stopped, though! We're still working out the kinks in things like our combat system and ensuring what we have to show you meets our own quality standards when we're finally ready to show it to you. We can't commit to a time frame as to when your first glimpse into Toyomi will be ready, but we are still working on bringing it to you.
