Hello fellow villains and villainesses!
This is Tanya and Emily - the villainesses behind Save the Villainess - once again. We are so happy to share the news that we have reached our second Kickstarter goal at $30,000 USD thanks to your support!
Due to your support, we will now be able to incorporate teenaged sprites of the main characters, Jane, Edmund, Izel, and Ben, into our game! You have seen the “adult” versions of all these characters in their twenties… but now we can showcase their younger selves in the game as well.
We are especially excited to reach this stretch goal because this will allow us to create extended flashback scenes between a younger Lady Jane Neville (the original villainess) and the three men (Edmund, Izel, and Ben) that she suspects may be the fiancé who betrayed her.
One of the main questions in Save the Villainess is: How did the original Lady Jane Neville become a ‘villainess’? Why were people so ready, even eager, to condemn her? What happened to her and what did she do to ‘deserve’ this title?
Another important question is what kind of relationship did Jane have with Edmund, Izel, and Ben when they were all younger? There are strong hints in the demo that Lady Jane Neville has known Edmund, Izel, and Ben for several years… so what were their relationships before she was condemned as a villainess?
The current Jane is going to have to determine what really happened to Lady Jane Neville using clues and flashbacks she will eventually experience later in the game. The teenaged sprites we can incorporate with your support will help us stage dynamic, exciting flashbacks that will show you far more about Lady Jane Neville’s past… and give you a way to shape her future.
It will be so much fun… and heart-breaking at times as well!
With your support, we can hit our next stretch goal of more character models at different poses at $35,000 USD! With more character models, we can create even more dynamic cut-scenes showing Jane, Edmund, Izel, and Ben moving around the environment and solving… or creating problems.
These new character models will also allow us to showcase the characters in more intimate scenes that allow for extra passion and romance if you choose to go down romantic routes. We are so excited to hopefully get the chance to incorporate more of these models, thanks to you!
We also want to thank our amazing streamer friends for supporting our game and spending so many hours playing it!
