Hey guys! Another picture in the Ethan set!
The original plan was for this series to run through one month, and then start on another for the next month and so on... unfortunately, I've had to sacrifice that plan in order to keep up with the renders I need to complete for V2!
(Things will be faster when I can upgrade my computer, until then please hold out with me guys! I'm getting these fuckers done as fast as I can haha)
Love you all, and as always thank you for your...

Hey guys! Here's another sneak preview for V0.2! Still working on the background, but thought you'd all appreciate an update - and the other pics I have rendered are waaaay to heavy in spoilers to post! Please forgive me!
Here we can see Eyal, a character I teased in the Promos and in V0.1. He's new to Springcreek and we can see Justin giving him a small tour of the school, specifically the smelly boys locker room.
I'll be doing another post very soon with a progress update - ...

Hey guys! Sorry for the wait on these. As I mentioned yesterday, I was having some issues with Ethan's model specifically... which meant I couldn't continue with this set.
However, Aaryn is an absolute Godsend and helped me fix my issues last night. So a massive shout out to him for being a total babe <3
I'll be posting the remaining CG's for this set over the next couple days :D
Hope you guys enjoy!

Hey guys! As promised here's the first teaser pic for V0.2!
I'm practicing some lighting in post production, trying to get that perfect morning glow. It's not quite there just yet, but progress is progress :D
I'm gonna update the Patreon Page info soon with V0.2 progress bars. V0.1 had over 1000 unique downloads, and I'm so grateful to everyone who has played and enjoyed!
Side note: I've been having some issues with Ethan's model. That's why the NSFW images have been on ...

Hey Guys, here's images C & D in the set :) The next images will be NSFW and available on the £10+ tiers :)
I'm currently fine tuning the Novel Version of New Hope, which I'll be posting within the next few days. The novel version will be slightly different from the game, with new details and scenes I wasn't able to put into the game due to time constraints and my very limited knowledge with coding and CG creation.
It should be a unique experience alongside the game, offer...

Hey guys! Just a quick update - I had to put the Ethan Set on the back burner whilst I worked on completing CG’s for v0.1!

Hey guys! I'm so excited to be dropping V0.1 for you to play! Hopefully you have as much fun playing as I did creating :D
This is early access, so if you do experience any bugs or errors please flag them and let me know! I've tried to make sure nothing crops up, but as this is my first time coding and creating CG's... there could be something hiding somewhere.
Please don't share download links for the game on any forums or websites. Public release is in 3 weeks so everyone will ...

Time for another teaser image! It seems like Justin is deep in thought, let's hope it's nothing too serious!
Behind The Scenes: So to give you guys a little idea for what I'm working with - my current graphics card is trash. It will only let me render two characters at a time, sometimes 1 depending on how much scenery there is.
In the image above, each character had to be rendered separately and then stitched together in post. Because of the ...

Moira is Justin's mother, a seemingly well put together lady who does her best as a single parent. To everyone else, Moira is the perfect woman who never gives up on her dreams, but Justin sees straight through this facade.
She will do anything to secure her unstable place on the West Side of town and reclaim her birth right. Anything that appears unordinary is hidden away. Justin has learnt not to trust her with many things, especially his secrets.

Hey guys - this was my first attempt at the text animation we'll be seeing throughout New Hope!
The final version of the animation will bump the texts up seamlessly, showing a nice transition of the conversation. (Ignore Justin's sad face, he just found out there's no chocolate in the kitchen!) ;D
Let me know if there's any specific behind the scenes stuff you're interested in taking a peak at! :D

There are three tiers currently available if you'd like to support this project. New Hope will always be Free To Play - however creating a visual novel isn't cheap and any support would be amazing and a great help to the project.
Supporter (£5 per month) -
- Novel Version
- Monthly Character SFW CG sets (including 1 NSFW image)

Rachael is the overachieving daughter of Edward and Davina Spring, members of one of the founding families of Wellsprings Valley. Unlike Theo, she strives to follow in the footsteps of her ancestors - leading the new generation into a prosperous future.
Although she can be single minded when it comes to her studies, there's nothing she won't do for her friends. She is loyal to the end, even when secrets threaten to destroy her hometown of Wellsprings.

Who’s up next? It’s Jeremy!
Don’t be fooled by his calm and quiet persona. He’s extremely protective of his friends... if he’s paying attention that is! Jeremy is extremely close with Rachael, and after defending her from Theo in middle school the two have been inseparable since!
You really only need to know one thing about Jeremy, and that's to never... EVER ... mess up his coffee order. His caffeine fix is integral for his daily fucks to give - and messing with it in a...

“It’s a pleasure... for you at least.”
Meet Theo, the resident bully of Wellsprings High. Even though his cold sights haven’t landed on Justin, that’s about to change. He’s stumbled across a secret, but what will it take to keep him quiet?
When Justin's life is thrown into turmoil what role will Theo take... friend or foe?
But most importantly, why isn't he wearing a shirt?

Meet Eyal - a new transfer from England. He’s had a rough year and just wants to fly under the radar. He seems to know more than he’s letting on and is always two steps ahead of Justin.
It's easier to reinvent yourself in a new country, but running from who you are proves to be even more difficult in Wellsprings. Eyal seems to have an affinity for finding out secrets, whether he wants to know them or not.
But will Justin uncover what he's keeping hidden?

Meet Ethan, Justin's best friend! He’s extremely protective of Justin - although he loves nothing more than to tease him! It's a wonder how Ethan hasn't noticed Justin's obvious crush on him, but then again he's been too busy trying to set Justin up with any girl he can before prom.
With his final High School performance around the corner, Justin is excited to let loose and spend more time with his friends. Rachael's party is the perfect time to reconnect and unwind.

Whilst playing New Hope, you'll be stepping into the role of Justin - an 18 year old Highschool Senior with a HUGE secret!
Everything isn't as it seems in Wellsprings, even secrets have a way of taking on a life of their own. Nothing stays hidden for long - and sooner or later what's done in the dark will be brought to light.
As Justin, you have important choices to make that will shape your friendships and potential love interests. Will you keep your secret at all costs... or...
