Argent Games -- English Visual Novel Devs
Who Are We?
Hello! We're Argent Games, an indie game studio in the USA currently developing visual novels!The Western visual novel market is expanding, but there's still a lack of professional, quality VNs in English. We currently focus on making LGBT VNs (currently mostly BxB) that are lovingly designed and polished.
We first began using the visual novel style because of the freedom given to the player in using their imagination during gameplay. Gorgeous art, compelling story, and tantalizing music and voice acting all play an important role in immersion, but the player's imagination is key in tying the whole experience together.
The stories we wish to tell contain a host of diverse characters, and we tell them to an audience with all sorts of backgrounds.
Why Patreon?
As our team is only comprised of a writer/programmer (Dovah) and a manager/editor (Gamma), we have to hire outside contractors for art, music, voiceovers, etc. Our biggest challenge is securing funding for commissioning these assets. We set a high bar and refuse to settle for anything less, but this results in delays as we work elsewhere in order to secure funds.
Patreon provides us with a more dependable source of funds, thus allowing us to shorten the development cycle while still maintaining and exceeding our ambitions.
