Background Synopsis

To run from a troubled past...in search of a future worth living.

This is the story set to unfold in Secrets of the ValleyLeaving home for what may be the last time, a young man chased by a checkered history moves in with his father’s associate, in a community simply known as The Valley. 

Though blessed with a scenic mountain view and many expensive homes, nothing about this new place seems to distinguish it from thousands of other small cities around the world.  At first, this seems ideal to a youth eager to bury the mistakes of his past forever.  Soon enough, however, he will come to realize that he may not be alone in coming to The Valley in search of peaceful anonymity...and that there are some kinds of trouble from which a man cannot hide.

In Secrets of the Valley, you’ll have the chance to guide the path of our tale’s hero. You’ll become involved in the wealthy community in which he’s settled, exploring interesting locations and meeting compelling characters along the way. You’ll learn secrets about these places and people that you can choose to keep in confidence or use for your own benefit. And once you’ve done all this, it will be your choices that will determine the way in which you’ll satiate your curiosity about those characters you find most interesting and satisfy your deepest desires.

Pricing

By purchasing this game you are buying a project in development, in an Early Access stage.

Purchasing Secrets of the Valley at this time is a great way to get the game at a significantly discounted price.  As development on the project advances, its cost will go up;  therefore, this is the perfect time to get in on its ground floor!  Purchasing Secrets of the Valley now will give you access to all the game’s episodes to be released in Season One.  And there will be plenty more to come, after that!

Additionally, purchasing Secrets of the Valley now will help provide our two-person team the vital support necessary to develop a game about which they’re incredibly passionate.  With this type of backing, it’s my hope that we can eventually grow our team – allowing us the resources to bring you the highest quality game experiences possible.

The best way to get Secrets of the Valley and support its creators is through our Patreon.  If you are interested in getting great benefits unique to that platform, have the opportunity to be involved in the development of the game, and want to be the first to receive the updates – consider supporting Lustfer Games on Patreon!  For more information on patronage details, please read the section on that program below.

Release Schedule

Lustfer Games is currently composed of two members:  Lustfer and The Raven King.  We are committed to crafting high-quality game experiences and have adopted the philosophy of delivering quality over quantity with respect to our releases.  At our current size, our team commits over 12 hours every day of the week in order to deliver game updates in a timely manner.

As the quality of each iteration of our games cannot be rushed and because each episode of the project has a  different length, it is impossible to pin down an exact release schedule to a specific day.  That being said, it is our intention to release new episodes of Secrets of the Valley in intervals between 30-60 days after each subsequent release.  As our game grows in popularity and more resources are available to commit to the project, we will invest those resources in building a bigger team – which will allow an even more frequent release schedule.

 

Hello! I’m Lustfer.

Your support means the world to me, as it will allow me to continue developing visual novels for your enjoyment. I’m really eager to bring something unique to the community by creating stories with a focus on exploration, a great variety of characters, and beautiful graphics. The ongoing result of my love of telling stories in this format is my first project, "Secrets of The Valley": A visual novel based on the investigation of interesting places and making choices that directly affect the outcome of the story’s plot.

PATREON                                         DISCORD

Why support me?

My studio is focused on bringing new ideas and possibilities to life within the framework of a visual novel. We intend on distinguishing ourselves from other studios with our commitment to the concepts of exploration and player choice. Many developers promise that their games will pay attention to both... but end up putting out releases that all seem the same. It’s our intention that we’ll be known as the studio that delivers on that promise.

I have big plans on the horizon for our studio. Eventually, I’d like it grow into a truly professional enterprise. I envision bringing some talented friends into the fold to set up a small office, having each of us tasked to individual, important roles. Having a dedicated scenario modeler, character developer, and programmer, for example, will allow us to truly reach our potential – and deliver you the kinds of game experiences that you’ve always searched for, but have never found.

The only way I can realize that lofty goal, though, is with your support! So please...help me turn both my game and studio into something truly legendary with a pledge of support. And be sure to bring your friends – along with your comments, thoughts, and suggestions!

Your patronage will be rewarded!

Prices shown in the tiers are monthly donations, paid up-front, and you can stop at any time you want. Take a look  in the patronage tiers for more info on the rewards I offer for your pledge.

If you are enjoying what I am creating and want to show your appreciation by donating, please consider being my Patron. Even the smallest donation is warmly welcomed, that's because you'll be supporting the dream of a small team (with great dreams) and that is truly passionate about telling stories and bringing them to life.

My heartfelt thanks to you for reading my page and playing my game!


Cheers, Lustfer

I just checked the developer's Patreon page. News there is not much better with this posting: 

Bouncing Back, Overcoming Setbacks   New  Apr 22, 2023

This repeats the absent developer situation now for far more than a year. 

I, like many others, find this disappointing at the very least. It would be different if there had been more postings between April 2023 and now so we would know how the developer is doing if they are still around. As of now it seems unlikely. 



Looks like this game died between the 0.4 and 0.5 releases... Shame. And it looks like since 2022 the site (and developer according to the site) have an ongoing billing/sale of the 0.4 release. Not Cool!

How is chapter 5 coming along? Just curious since it's been a bit. Thanks, I do like the game though!

Is there a demo available?

There hasn't been any updates with this game. Was it abandoned?

Hi Melty, it's not abandoned.


I'm trying to work around some setbacks I've had in my personal life. In addition, the game has become quite complex, I've lost my writing partner, and Episode 5, which is taking a while to be released, is really huge. It's probably more than double the size of any other update.

Just this week I managed to take some time out to dig into the code, and I've made good progress that will free me up to render the last few scenes.

Thanks for your question, it made me sit down for a while and write a brief update. I'm going to take advantage of the fact that you've made me put a few words together, and use this info in a post so that anyone who's interested can also get an update on the progress of the project.


Cheers,

Thanks for the quick response. I greatly appreciate it. It's unfortunate about your writing partner. Please take your time on the game and have a great Holiday. I will look forward to any new updates towards this game. Just say hello from time to time.... We (the fans) would love to hear from you even though it's a small paragraph or photos on what you are working on.  
    

Hi there!
I am creating a collection of fully blind accessible games, and your game is listed under the "blind support tag".  The word "blind" means different things to different people, and within that wide spectrum their are various levels of expertise with visual UI's.  but as a fully blind gamer, I am wondering what features this game provides for those who can not see the screen at all.  Do you have "screen reader" or "text to speech" support?  Is your game fully playable with a keyboard or controller, rather than having to point the mouse at buttons on the interface? If the answer to those questions is no, it would still be great to know what options are provided for those with less severe visual impairments, so that I might make them aware of your game's usability for them.  Thank you for any information you can provide, it's very much appreciated! :)

Hi superfreq,


The mention of the game being Blind Friendly is because the RenPy platform natively has Self-voicing and ALT text for images. Reading through Self-voicing should be working properly, however, I have not provided ALT text for images.

So far I have not had the opportunity to talk to a fully blind player, if you believe the presence of the tag is inappropriate since the game only features Self-voicing I will do so.

Thank you for your personal interest!


Cheers,

Lustfer

Hey thank you for the reply and sorry for how long it took me to get back to you on this.
The self voicing is good but if the game doesn't have full keyboard support for all menus (not an issue for all blind people) if certain vital indicators aren't shown in text as well, if their are visual only puzzles ETC, then I'd say it probably shouldn't be on this tag no. Alt text is important as well of course, especially for really important images that convey necessary information. If it was just missing alt text for descriptive stuff I'd say this should still be on the tag but that should be worked on. But yeah if some of those more important things aren't there yet, I'd wait until you have a blind tester.
Try forum.audiogames.net, reddit.com/r/blind or rblind.com, or this discord server: https://discord.gg/c3rGEQFNs
You may be able to find a tester there. :)

nothing yet?

Hi avalonxander,

I haven't been able to release it yet. The truth is that the game has become quite complex in events and in the amount of characters. Together with my reduced availability of time to work on it, I'm taking a longer time to finish this chapter that is huge in terms of events, characters implied and scenes.

Thanks for getting in touch!


Cheers,

Lustfer

This project still being worked on?

(+1)

Hello Jay, Yes.
I have most of next chapter ready and rendered. I am just about to end up dealing with some personal issues. In a few days I will release a post informing you all about it.

Ah, I'm sorry you're going through a rough patch, and I hope everything works out.

Will this go on Steam?

Hello AVNlover


The goal is, first of all, to push the game to a high level of quality. Delivering both story and image quality. I am sure we are doing very well in this regard. 💜

That being said, regarding Steam, I personally intend to attempt to release it on the platform when the story is completed.

I hope they will accept the game without any problems, but they are quite picky about some aspects. Even though our characters are all of age, you never know what else they might see as an obstacle to refuse a game. 😅

In any case, if it is going to happen, it will be in the future.  A minimum of 12 chapters has been planned, divided into two seasons (or more if we opt for more chapters). So, we still have a lot of work ahead of us.


Cheers,

Lustfer
