VNCraft
We're a game-developing team of two, DeVNCraft (coding) and LoVNCraft (story and visuals) with no prior experience in creating visual novels, but with love and passion for gaming all our lives. as well as other experience in our particular area's of this project for almost as long. Our games will be story-rich adult games with horror, mystery, thriller and SF elements, and of course the reason you are all on this page, adult content as well. The story will take precedence, but we promise plenty of content to those of you that are here for it, the plan is just to find the right balance at the right time so it's not purely a long adult video...the internet has plenty of that already, and either of us will be more than happy to point you in the direction of some good ones--if only to get you degenerates off of our page (I'm kidding, I'm kidding...or am I?) Ahem, with that aside...welcome to the twisted realm of VNCraft, we do hope you'll stick around and enjoy the tales we would like to share with you...

The Dev has returned


Did you miss me? I doubt it....

Sorry for the lack of energy lately, I had a lot of paperwork on my plate the last month, but that's (mostly) behind me now....at least to the degree of interrupting my flow on the game.

So with that being the hot topic I start off on, I'm going to go full spoiler alert this time around on a public post.

I doubt I'll make it on time for this release, but we have a brand new gallery planned for the next update which will include character bios that will update either as information is unlocked or at the end of each update so you can keep fresh on what you've experienced with each of them previously...added per request of one of our players--I already had a new gallery in mind, so why not.

I'm also 'hoping' to have achievements ready to go in that version...I'm still debating the technical factors of how to add them to both versions but give our subs a bit of a perk. We shall see there.

Another idea I'm playing around with (the new gallery with be the start) is Upscaling the renders and remaking the interface in 4k for the entire game, then scaling down the UI from that version for the base interface aligning everything to screen size, the 4k version will be a Subscriber only version (possibly replacing my idea of achievements being that way) and will be updated every release if I decide to do it, but that also means a nice cleaner UI (hopefully) for both versions if it works out how I have planned.

Personally I run a 4k setup and just the difference in the UI at 4k is enough to make me want to do it...but it throws the entire thing out of wack since it was based on 1080p and I added so many options that I ended up using exact positions for some of the controls instead of lining them up all as portions of the visible area....its going to take me a bit of time (probably alot of time lol)...to straighten all that mess out--but for all the people following along its something to look forward too in the future.

Last but not least, your probably wondering wtf with the random video after reading the rest of the post with no mention of it....well, I wasn't just learning ffmpeg while I was drowning in paperwork, and I couldnt devote myself fully to complicated code either since I was in a totally different mind-set...so instead I decided I'd learn to use DAZ too and hopefully be able to help Lov out down the road--that was the result of my efforts between DAZ and ffmpeg, I made the Animation in DAZ as png files, converted it to video and added music to it using ffmpeg in DOS....unfortunately youtube copyright checked my audio so I had to post the version without it, which killed this for me lol.

Damn, that even sounds impressive to me reading it back in my head for a month of learning while doing complicated paperwork lol.

*Test renders, scenes, characters, and killer dance moves are not part of, or planned to be in The Shadow Over Willowtown. (well maybe the dance moves, never know lmao)

I'm learning so I can help Lov render down the road, but I don't intend to stick my nose or my concepts into his story plans now any more than I did at the start of this project. I'm just playing around with motion and lining up props and clothing and such so I know how to do it if theres ever a need while helping him push out renders...this way I dont need to have him fix minor details I could likely do myself if I notice one mid-render or animation.

As a final note, I was able to add Team Members magically on Patreon, so now Lov has access to do whatever they want here if I'm not around for some reason, although I'll still be on social media detail for the most part...so I'm sorry to say you're stuck with me ;p

This way, though, if I can't handle something during release or even just a story log, Lov can post it in my absence.

I know I say this alot--but it takes alot of mutual respect and in my case (its a programmer thing), an extreme level of trust to coordinate with anyone else on a project. We have both, if it was possible I would have gave them unrestricted access to everything like we have on some of our other sites that do allow it.

The code is mine, the story is his...but VNCraft belongs to both of us, and we're here to stay.

By the way, the next update should be really soon if everything goes as planned, but the additions i'm working on wont be here until the next version--I've been slammed all month and then some with a war against a slumlord...I just refuse to sit idle even when I only take a few minutes to myself here and there, so I did something else productive.

This has been another annoying broadcast by The Dev.


Over and out.

In-game Achievements Coming (work in progress)


A preview of an early WIP towards adding Achievements into the game prior to the Steam release...since I'm making the base for it from scratch and reworking the gallery section is my first priority, it likely won't be implimented until the release after this one. It was just a quick test run to see how complicated it would be to add them before users were long past those points in the game.

Supposedly ren'py stores registered achievements in persistent data even without Steam integration but if not i'll be tracking them myself on a per-save file basis to be sure that I can force all of them to sync (and correct any possible server side issues) when a save is loaded with the Steam version once we have the the API integrated so long as you have the save file--I take no responsibility for replacing lost saves for achievements considering this is an EA feature being added only to the supporter version of the game....the free versions will not include achievements.

This way in the unlikely scenario the general saves become incompatible with thr Steam release it ensures I have a method to track achievements separately so those can still be unlocked.

You'll be notified of achievements in game using a custom popup (*design not final) like in the video before Steam is integrated or if your not playing the Steam version and they will sync automatically with the Steam version if and when you decide to enter the games achievement screen after loading a save in the Steam version (another planned addition) where you can check which ones you've already earned and find hints towards ones you haven't gotten yet unless they're hidden.

We decided to share this future development plan with all users so people would be able to see we're in this for the long haul and Steam is already part our plans.

It may not seem like much, but I came to realize while looking for documentation for this that most VNs rely on a third party library to achieve achievements lol....even the stupid AI results return examples not based on built-in ren'py libraries, so there really isn't much info on the basic functionality. I personally can't do this since ren'py doesn't currently have any functionality for Steam leaderboards--which I intend to add for the mini-games, so I'll be forced to take a deep dive into the C types library to connect to the Steam API directly at that point regardless...and I prefer to code everything myself to learn anyways.

Just an added benefit for the people who decide to support us as we work towards our goal--one of those goals being the ability to cover the Steam fees with revenue from these sites, among others like better hardware to speed up rendering and cloud storage for the assets so me and Lov can work simultaneously on scenes when i'm not neck deep in code.

Till next time.

Tier Benefit Changes



We recently realized that during the mad rush to set everything up just so we could release the game demo that we screwed up our Tier Benefits...well in truth we screwed up pretty much every aspect of our social media lol--but this one we felt the need to correct immediately since it affects a current member.

As a quick fix, we're changing the first two tiers to have access earlier than before on all of our subscription sites (we're not much for changing things in a negative way on paying customers), so from here on out Citizens Tier will have access to Chapters two weeks after release, and Student Tier will have access to Chapters one week after release instead of 9 days.

Unfortunately this gives Chapter releases to the Citizen Tier instead of only Episodes, but also makes the Citizen Tier Episode release date an issue since they would get that particular Chapter before the Student Tier...so we're going to make Full Episodes available immediately for all paid members, only Chapter releases will be different as far as release access.

I also want to mention now that once we decide on a social platform (likely discord), we're going to reevaluate all of our benefits with those in mind...at that point we may make modifications to other parts as well concerning post and download access...but we'll be sure not to change any benefits in a negative way on any Tiers that already have members--we wouldn't be happy if that happened to us if the roles were reversed, so we won't do it to other people and expect them to be okay with it.


Catch you on the flipside.
