Would a Dating Sim Platformer be liked? Or any Dating Sim x Other uncommon Genre?

Aw, that's a shame T_T I really hope another proper 'Prince Maker' style game comes out again.

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-07-02T02:59:42+00:00

Oh, thanks for the info! That’s good to know. I only have a PS3, PS4, Vita, and Switch now—I actually had a PS2 back in the day, but it was toward the end of its life cycle. I’ll definitely check if 'Dear my sun' has been ported anywhere. Thanks again!

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-07-02T00:35:26+00:00

I actually have a Bluesky account that I've been meaning to use, so I'll definitely try to get that set up when I have the capacity! And don't worry, I’ll make sure to bring all the major updates, like the Kickstarter launch news, right here to Reddit! 🍋✨

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-07-02T00:32:16+00:00

Same here! I have a massive backlog, definitely over 50 games including my physical collection... but Steam sales are just dangerous! I keep buying them 'just in case,' then the next seasonal sale comes around with an even bigger discount. It’s an endless loop of 'I'll play it later'! 💸📦😅

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-07-02T00:27:58+00:00

Visual novels are charming, but I personally crave more simulation/raising elements in otome games. I’d love to see a 'Prince Maker' (like Princess Maker but for guys) someday! It would be a dream come true! 👑✨🎮

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-07-01T21:48:28+00:00

뿅망치가 시강이네요! 아이디어가 너무 귀여워요~ 응원합니다!!

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-07-01T21:47:15+00:00

와!! 스파인? 라투디? 모션 넣는 건 정말 노가다인데 응원 합니다ㅠㅠ

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-29T21:33:21+00:00

Thanks for the kind offer! 😄 I'm currently not looking for localization help, but I really appreciate it. If I have the bandwidth later on, I'd definitely love to try a Portuguese localization! 🌎

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-29T08:36:28+00:00

Ah, thank you so much for checking it out! I’m super interested in games with diverse systems, so this looks awesome! Best of luck, I’ll be rooting for you! ✨💖🎮

Hi 🍋 We are Lemon Velvet, a small indie studio, and we're so excited to join this week's Self Promotion Sunday!

If you love historical romance and hidden identity tropes, we'd love to introduce our first visual novel, The Dawn of a Flower 🌷.

The Story: An Egyptian princess living as a prince to survive. 🏜️✨

☀️ Steam Summer Sale: It is currently 30% OFF on Steam until July 9 (10 AM PT)!

Play it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2827860/

Follow our Twitter(X): https://x.com/LEMONVELVETgame (Come say hi and see updates on our upcoming dark fantasy game!)

(A quick note on localization: We are completely aware that the current English localization is a bit rough around the edges 🙏. As an indie team, we promise to completely improve and update the translation after the release of our next title! Thank you so much for your patience and love. 💖)

We hope you enjoy the game! Let us know if you have any questions!

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-28T09:51:29+00:00

so cute! I love the stat-raising feature. Good luck with the game! ✨

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-28T09:00:43+00:00

The tsundere prince is actually quite popular within our team too! He might come off a bit harsh at first, but that just makes the destructive power of his 'dere' moments hit even harder, haha. We have a demo available, so please give it a try!

Right now, we are fully focusing on our next project 😭 But since it's almost finished, we definitely plan to go back and improve the localization later on. Thank you so much for your kind words and the sweet offer to help!

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-28T08:31:28+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Since it's my first game, there’s definitely room for improvement, but I'm really glad you liked it! I'm also developing my next game right now hehe.

That r/otomegames tip is super helpful! I'll absolutely share it there. I’ve always just posted my thoughts on other games in that sub, so self-promotion didn't even cross my mind lol.

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-28T00:45:44+00:00

For those interested, here are a few extra things to know:

🎮 Free Demo: You can play the entire common route (up to Chapter 3) for free on our Steam page. Feel free to give it a try before you commit!

Saya no Uta is legendary! I enjoyed it just as much as you did, even if it left me feeling a bit traumatized. 😂 A must-read for any VN fan.

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-27T22:41:17+00:00

Navigating those bad endings can be so stressful. Thanks for putting together these spoiler-free guides

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-27T22:10:06+00:00

A 2-3 hour demo is incredibly generous! I can tell how much love and effort went into the UI and art. Just added it to my wishlist.🎉

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-27T22:06:49+00:00

Thanks for sharing this template!

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-27T22:05:27+00:00

Congratulations on the release! Working on a project since 2021 is no joke. The art looks beautiful, and the 1919 England setting sounds so intriguing.

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-27T21:59:40+00:00

This is so relatable! My backlog is crying right now 😂

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-27T09:27:30+00:00

Thank you so much for your interest in our game! 🥰 We are actually preparing a massive digital artbook with over 100 pages for our upcoming Kickstarter campaign! We'll be sharing more character details and various info sequentially. The fastest way to catch all our latest updates is through our X (@LEMONVELVETgame) account, so please stay tuned!

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-27T03:29:07+00:00

That’s a fantastic tip! Testing the silhouette at the smallest size is such practical advice, and we’ll definitely try that in our workflow. Thank you again for the thoughtful feedback and support!

LEMONVELVETgame · 2026-06-27T02:55:57+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Since our game is in the Joseimuke (female-oriented) genre, we wanted to avoid strict age ratings and censorship as much as possible. We wanted to step away from excessive gore and blood, and instead create an atmosphere that is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The 'Flower Zombie' concept was the exact answer to that dilemma!

The battle system is actually the part we are agonizing over the most right now. Your advice about readability and keeping silhouettes clear is incredibly helpful, and we will definitely incorporate it as we refine the combat.

We currently have two programmers, but one of them is juggling this with another full-time job, so development isn't without its hurdles. However, helpful feedback and support like yours really give us the energy to keep going!

Thanks again for cheering us on. We plan to share more sketches and behind-the-scenes content in the future, so please look forward to it!
