Big Changes and News
Hey guys, it's D6rk!
I have been thinking a lot lately, about the future of SH...
I came to the thought to change the style of the game. What does this mean? What's the problem with HS2? The problem is that it cannot go on steam, because I don't own the rights to do it! Even if I make custom mods in blender, or commission a modder.
So I had a pretty rough emotional crisis moment, about changing up the whole art style. But I decided that it is more important to stand on stable legs, and expand the game to steam, because this would mean an increase in the games survival. I really love Sheltered Hearts, and I really want to make it happen, to see you guys play(I'm in your walls hehe). That support that you gave us with 5K+ downloads and 30K+ Browser play, the comments, the ratings...everything. I love you guys eternally, and you took up a special place in my hearth!
Firstly when we will have a demo I will post it, so you guys can try it out, give your opinions about it if it's good or not. I can ensure you I will give all of me to make this happen, and to deliver you guys a game worthy of playing! In the meantime, the story will be written as well by Trollka. So when and we are finished with the demo, the story will be written much further away, speeding up the process of the making of the game.
You will be not left alone with just lil ol me, and the devlogs. Some PFS members (Yes there are 4 of us, and not just my 3 personalities inside my head)started to work on a game, that I think you will enjoy! I cannot really tell anything specific yet but keep your eyes peeled, and when Carnixxa is ready, we will share what she has been working on!
Please let me (us) know what you think in the comments, or on discord. I hope you have an awesome day, and understand the fact why are we doing this.
Love ya all,
D6rk

You can try using VAM instead and with some tweaks the style is quite close to HS2. However VAM is apparently harder to pickup initially but has the potential to produce better renders than HS2.
From a commercial perspective, it's probably not a good idea to use Daz3D. There 3D adult gaming industry is flooded with games using Daz like 80% - 85% of them (rough guesstimate) and a Steam listing is often this elusive carrot that makes it all sound good in theory, but very little developers really profit much in the end.
I don't mean to sound rude, but so far based on your stated game numbers, it looks decent but doesn't really stand out. If you go the Daz3D route, you will be trying to compete in an avalanche of Daz titles that come and go.
Hi Hiii!
We thought about DAZ, but no, we are not going on that route.
The game is going to switch to a 2D Hand drawn style! I know the DAZ market is flooded, this is one of the reasons we did not want to use it. It's a big step to transfer a game that is made in 3D to 2D, but we want to try it! I will give my best to pick up the pen and make great art!
If you have any other questions, please ask them!
Have a great day 😌
Oh wow, carving a niche eh? Will you be going for a more western comic or eastern anime / dongman style?
Don't know much about 2D, but from what I observe it seems to take more effort to do especially if there are animations. Some developers augment with AI, but that introduces a whole set of other problems...
I haven't come across a 2D adult game that carries the dark cyberpunk atmosphere well, many of the Sci-fi ones made with Koikatsu look too bright and chirpy.
Something like this https://www.fiverr.com/hentai_custom/design-and-make-a-video-of-any-character-in... would be cool... Haha just me fantasizing.
The style is not yet chosen, will let the community know when have a solid choice.
Yes it really does take effort, to sketch the characters, background. Color them, and after render them so they are just not a blank color palette.
Yes, I know some Devs who use AI to make 2D arts. I was thinking about it, but just could not go on with it. I want something I create.
The Cyberpunk theme will be a challenge, but will give my best to make it look good. Planning to draw it stand alone, I mean, like I will not use Koikatsu for it, or other things. Sure, I will use the existing characters as reference, but the point is. I don't want to use any rendering engine so we can have the rights to our game fully!
Hope this answered your questions. If you have anymore be sure to ask away.
Have a great day!😌
Ok, I respect your decision to do fully hand drawn and wish you all the best in you and your team's demo launch. =)
Thank you ❤️
Whats HS2? Im new here.
Hi hiii!
Honey Select 2 is a game, but there is a Studio feature, where you can put together scenes. If you download mods (There are a lot of community mods) than you can have custom scenarios. We (and many other creators) used this to make 0.1! But You can't post this onto steam because you don't have the copyright for it.
Hope this helped out!
Aaahh well okay
