This is less than an update and more of a baseline record of where JAA is currently.
GAMES:
Mars: SHCD
In August, I released Mars: Scarlett Horizons under Charcoal Darkness on Patreon, SubscribeStar, and Itch. If you played it already, then leave a rating on Itch.
Bell Mountain
I released Bell Mountain "Act One" on Patreon and SubscribeStar. I also published a minor update (v.1.01c) to the game in August. I have updated the website with the process I have made on the game at the time of this post.
No release date is set for “Act Two Part 1 (v.1.02a)” yet.
WALLPAPERS:
I released the Maurine Eason wallpaper to thank those who downloaded Mars: SHCD on Itch. I also placed an inexplicit and explicit version of it on Patreon and SubcribeStar.
I plan on creating inexplicit and explicit versions for the remaining women of Mars: SHCD and releasing them monthly. September’s wallpaper will be Awa Okafor exclusively on Patreon and SubscribeStar.
COMMUNICATIONS:
I’m thinking of beginning a monthly devlog starting this October. This blog will cover all the game-related work I’ve done the month prior.
JAA BUSINESS:
Q2 of 2023 was spent founding the “Just Aaron Art” business.
Going forward, I will add a 2.00 USD tier to Patreon and SubscribeStar, coinciding with the release of Bell Mountain Act Two Part 1 (v.1.02a). There will be more details on the tier changes in the future.
Itch will be getting Bell Mountain Act One (v.1.01c) for free upon the release of v.1.02a. Itch will also get “Act Two Part 1 (v.1.02a)” behind a paywall of 3.00 USD.
ONLY Bell Mountain “Act One” will be free for Itch, and all future Bell Mountain updates (Act Two and beyond) will remain behind the $3 paywall.
This is where things are and where they are going.
Mars: Scarlet Horizons under Charcoal DarknessWho will survive?
An energy breakthrough has opened space for humanity, and the first explorers are leaving Earth on a journey to settle on Mars. No journey is without danger, and our settlers will experience it. Will our settlers overcome Mars's challenges and return to Earth?
You play as Joe Smith (renamable), the mission engineer, veteran astronaut, and a billionaire thanks to co-creating the breakthrough energy source. You are part of the first mission team traveling to Mars. You will discover how the harshness of the Martian surface reshapes your relationships with your crewmates.
From Aaron Snyder,
This is my debut visual novel. Mars: SHCD is a linear story. You, the reader, may notice the early part of the VN is a bit rough. When I began Mars: SHCD, I was (and maybe still) a novice. I hope the ladder part of the VN highlights my improvements in technique and visuals.
On another note, I took the story seriously, which made all the sexual encounters vanilla. You will not find hard-core sex inside Mars: SHCD.
Lastly, there are no animations. I would like to have them, but animations are beyond my current capabilities.
Thank you to everyone who takes the time to enjoy my work.
