Enter the Bunny...

Well I told you I was working on this, and here it is. This is what I'm calling a "soft-launch" of our site. A chance to get some feedback. Please check it out:

http://www.hyperbunny.com

WARNING: This is an "adult" site. Not that there are many pictures on it now... just thought I'd warn you.

Our first title is currently in the works and will be a free download. Hopefully if it is received well we plan to start charging a nominal fee for our games afterwards.

Wish us luck. Hope to see you around.

Good luck :D

What me? Spin? Why? :?

The site is really intimidating in the way it is polished.
But since the team is pro, it's only logical. Looks very very good.
Also, the team seems to be very compact which is a good sign, do you guys work in one office or so?

If you intend to keep all the promised things, I feel it's going to be a challenge for the other semi-pro/pro teams to compete with you. Respect for now. (glory later, after you give us the free game ^_^). Really, the site is great, the artwork can match basically any pro JPN game, so I really wish you good luck in pulling this off, and prove that good bishoujo games don't necessarily have to be made in Japan.

About the upcoming game, how long is it going to be? A full-scale or something in the NaNoRenO format? (1 hour +/-)

is the site down or something? I can't get access with IE or Firefox (firefox says the site's refusing my connection, IE gives a bull**** error page saying the link's wrong)

Yup... seems to be offline 1 hour after I checked :(
EDIT: Online again...

PS: a link to peachsoft! Wow, I never knew them until now!

Thanks for all the comments everyone. It is encouraging.

The server goes down in the early mornings for maintenance I think every other day. Probably why some couldn't get to it then. (Depending on your timezone of course).

Hehe, we aren't as big as it probably looks. No office (the overhead would be insane). It's all through the internet. But we have been working together for about 2 years on other projects.

We are shooting for about 30-45min playtime. Since it's our first title we can't really tell easily how long it will take.

Thanks again for all the comments. Keep em coming. :)

The site looks good, the only problem being that the news ticker looks a bit wrong on my system. It's probably because I force the font size to be large enough that I can read it.

The graphics are, as usual, excellent. Better than most commerical games, IMO.

How close to done is the game? It's hard to tell from the web site alone.

No no no... I'm anti-schoolgirl-H, generally speaking. IMO though, it's possible, but not easy to make a game in which sex is a normal consequence and doesn't feel fanservicy (<<what kind of word is THAT?), so we'll see how it plays out.

I'm also looking forward to this h-title, because in the usual JPN game they have certain erotic stereotypes and standards, so we'll see how much weight they get or if something Western-specific will be introduced. And... I'm curious as to how the scenes will be commented, it's going to be a real challenge. *gulp* what did I start to talk about here?? :oops: :oops:

Sound interesting, but from by screenshot girls seems really young.
Of course they are only pictures, but yet it is a little disturbing.

ETA?

Well since this is our first title an ETA right now would be a pure guess. And probably a bad one at that.

But so you know where we are, we are still finishing the story. We hope to add some character bios and images soon.

Well, based on what I saw it should be an interesting game! :) It'll be nice when you add the character bios so we get an idea of what the various characters are like...looking forwards to DL it when it becomes available =)

So I'm just going to put this out in the open, in case Nio is checking the forums, the site is unavailable for several days now. There haven't been any news or updates on the site ever since that one soft launch 4 months ago, so you know... this and that, it all adds up. :(

I was about to say that....it seems the site simply dissapeared. Even If I press the link I have from the site (and check if my net is operational), It gives me the "Unable to find the page" Error.
