Hello, everyone!

Welcome to our first progress update for Secrets of the Valley! In order to keep our loyal Patreon supporters informed about the latest developments regarding the project, we’ll be releasing these messages on a weekly basis (or as our workflow allows). This should prevent you from having to search all over the internet for information regarding Secrets!

After considering the feedback from our supporters, we’ve decided that the next portion of the story we’ll be developing involves the beautiful Alison! You may remember meeting her in the kitchen, as you explored Claire’s house. Now, you’ll get the chance to learn much more about her! If you followed Secrets v0.2 to its conclusion, we know you’re probably eager to know more about Norma – a young woman whose depths run far deeper and more treacherous than they appear on her surface. For now, though, her mystery will have to wait to be unraveled!

The script for your first meeting with Alison is done. In its contents, you’ll get the chance to learn all about her, from her personality and the series of events that brought her to the Valley. And if you play your cards right…you just might get to know her a little better in an intimate sense, as well!

As we learn about Alison, we’ll be telling the tale of our Main Character (MC), as well. This part of Secrets is vitally important, as it will demonstrate the way that choices will dramatically impact its storyline. While playing the MC, you’ll be forced to make decisions – many of them rather messy – and live with the consequences of your choices.

From a workflow perspective, Lustfer is currently in the process of composing and rendering the scenes that will eventually comprise Secrets v0.3. Soon after this work’s concluded, he’ll begin the process of coding the game itself. While that’s taking place, Lustfer will give the game’s script over to The Raven King for translation, adjustment, and quality assurance. Once that task is completed, Lustfer will make any alterations to the renders and code made necessary by The Raven King’s work. The game will then be more or less in its final form, with only playtesting to be completed before you receive your copies! It’s a lot of work, to be sure, but storytelling in Visual Novel format is something that all members of the Lustfer Games staff are passionate about – so it’s definitely a labor of love!

In closing, we’d like to thank our new Patreon supporters from the bottom of our hearts. It’s not lost on us that you’re the only reason we’re able to pursue our dreams – and for that, we can’t thank you enough. As we continue in the development of Secrets v0.3, our Gold tier supporters and above will have access to sneak peeks that will hopefully whet your appetite for what’s to come. Likewise, all eligible supporters will have their names included in the Credits section of Secrets v0.3, along with the game’s release. Finally, our esteemed Founder and Platinum tier supporters can expect additional lewd/sex scenes in the game’s next release!

Wow, that’s a lot of stuff! Better get back to work! These scenes aren’t gonna render themselves!
