Night Of Sin - Tumblr Posts
Night of Sin is a Sin w/ Me prequel fanfiction visual novel. The story is inspired by the original, but takes place in an alternate universe timeline where the original 7 assassins were Dorran, Yvette, Gage, Ripley, Ranza, Cal, and Izaiah.
I took on this as a solo project, as a homage to the original game cause I really missed Lovestruck and how they did the stories and each character. While not perfect, the representation was really good compared to most other games on the market, we had characters from all different backgrounds.
After months of work in my spare time (sometimes until the crack of 3am as some followers have seen) I only have 5min of a prologue game available as a download. This really puts into perspective how much work it takes to create a full visual novel with multiple characters and multiple seasons.
I did have a slight advantage since I have experience in web/graphic/interface design. But, this is only my second experience making games, my first being a game jam some years ago where I was the background artist. Night of Sin game is my first time doing *everything* solo. From planning the story, to writing, to coding, to drawing, to graphic design, ect;

All I ask is, please do not re-upload the game to another download site and please do not upload the zip file directly to Discord. If people want to try the game, please give them the link to this Tumblr post.
If you want to post screenshots from the game, report bugs, have comments/critique, please use the #night of sin tag.
Thank you everyone for your support, thanks to my friends who tested an earlier alpha version of the game!
Update notes: Episode 1 will probably be released next week if I have time to finish everything. This episode features all the assassins except Yvette and is over 6000 words long, so it’ll take a while to code in.
Due to quality/grammar/writing checks, Night of Sin episode 5 will be delayed 1~2 days, sorry! I don’t want to rush the release tonight since I want to play through a couple more times to double-check story flow.
But, I mentioned some of my friends designed characters for my story. You might recognize who this artist is. She helped design this new character known as “mysterious katana wielding woman” for now. I re-drew her design in my style to fit my other game sprites.
Who is this new character? What role does she play with the troupe? Hope you’re all excited to find out!
The new character designs side by side.
Can’t wait to reveal who these characters are and their roles in episode 6. Have to edit the writing again, then start coding everything in…but, I have something really special planned for episode 6 that’ll involve a lot of drawing. Let’s say…I was inspired by all the circus advertisement posters on my trip to Vegas. 👀
It feels bittersweet that my prequel fanfic is ending soon, just two more episodes to go, and an epilogue. But, it means I can start another visual novel fanfic project after!
SPOILERS ALERT, Night of Sin: Pride, episode 6
Here are all the graphics and backgrounds I've created/edited for the episode. Thanks to my friend for designing the daggers and rings!
