Notes From The Cape, Episodes 1-3 Mac OS

I'm super excited to be premiering a brand new project!
It's called Notes from the Cape.
It's a visual novella series about the characters from the Willy Bear Beach games.
The installments are basically mini visual novels that are all loosely part of the same series and setting. They'll feature scenes from the everyday lives of the characters, so it's a very relaxed, slice of life kind of series, with less emphasis on long narrative arcs and more on mood and characterization. There's no central character, instead focusing on different characters and friendships between the townsfolk besides just Willy. But all the characters from WBB will be there, and the characters from WBB2 will be introduced, too.
I'm very excited about the episodic, novella format. It allows me to make content in a manageable, serialized way that contributes to a larger story and setting, without the months or years that larger projects can often take (as has been the case w/WBB2!).
The novellas will feature professionally recorded music and sound effects.
The first one is about 10 minutes but the rest will be between 15-20. Some will have branching paths, others will not.
It is a series for adults that will often feature nudity and sex. The first episode is SFW but most of them will not be 😉
I will be releasing one episode per month, near the beginning of each month. But if I get enough patrons I'll be able to do more!
The first episode will be totally free for anyone to view! It's sort of a pilot, meant to set the mood for the series and say hello to some familiar characters. It is fairly SFW, though still most certainly for adults. Plans for episode two are already looking quite a bit sluttier lol!!
Here is the Patreon page for the project. For more info and to see the characters, check the 'overview' page and the 'posts' tab :

The cheapest tier is 5 bucks but they all give you access to the same content. Patrons get the novellas, of course, but you'll also have access to a production blog for the series, and there will be illustrated Q&A sessions too, where patrons can submit questions and ask things about the cast. Patrons will also vote on things such as which characters they want to see in future episodes, and other stuff like that.
The idea was to price it like a regular serialized comic, which usually take about 10-20 minutes to read. If you can afford more, you are fortunate, and should give me a tip 😇
I've been posting about this new project, so let me answer a frequent question right away: Is this Willy Bear Beach 2?
No! That is a full sized visual novel/game that is currently being programmed. Notes is more straight forward, small, and has no game or inventory aspects. WBB2 does, and is large and has a lot of moving parts. It is taking longer than we hoped, but it is still in development and is moving along nicely.
WBB2 is also being made by a team, whereas Notes from the Cape is a solo project. WBB2 will be offered on Itch like the first one was. It will not be released as part of this project.
Because the assets and writing are completely done for WBB2, I am free to move onto this project!
