Have Questions About Working With Us?
Got Questions About Your Visual Novel?Indie development can be confusing, but working with us doesn't have to be. Here are some quick answers to common questions
What engines do you support for visual novel development and UI implementation?
We specialize in Ren'Py for visual novels and interactive fiction, but we also have experience with Godot and porting projects from TyranoBuilder. If you're using another engine, feel free to drop us a message and we'll see if we can accommodate!
What if I have a very limited budget or a Game Jam project?
We love game jams and passion projects! While custom commissions have set rates, we are very open to negotiable budgets, phased payments, revenue share, or volunteer collaborations for promising ideas. Don't hesitate to reach out with your pitch.
What is the typical turnaround time for UI design or translation?
For a basic UI bundle or short translation script, it usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks. Larger projects or extended UI packages take around 2 to 4 weeks. We always set clear milestones so you know exactly when to expect your assets.
How does the Chinese localization process work?
We translate from English directly into Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) and Simplified Chinese (簡體中文). We translate directly inside your
.rpy localization files so you can easily integrate them into Ren'Py. Can you help us find artists or other team members?
Yes! We can help draft commission briefs, reach out to illustrators for character sprites and CGs, or match you with writers, proofreaders, and playtesters in our network.
Do you accept commercial, NSFW, or niche theme projects?
Absolutely. We are open to a wide range of narrative genres, including Otome, BL/GL, Horror, Gore, and NSFW, as long as the project has a clear vision and respectful communication.
I’m not sure if you offer XXX. Can I still ask?
Absolutely! If your request is related to visual novels, narrative games, UI/UX, or project coordination, chances are we can help—or at least point you in the right direction. Just drop us a message with what you have in mind!
Do you accept fully custom orders or custom packages?
Yes! While we listed standard bundles for quick reference, almost every indie project is unique. We can create a tailor-made package for your specific scope, budget, and timeline.
