Having played a couple of actual escape rooms (and living in the LA area myself) this sounds grand.
1. Playability/Interest: 1st impressions of LMA? What kind of experience do you think this game will be?
I quote: "It seems I have found another aficionado of beefcake mixed with bloody murder."
As for what kind of experience? I'm hoping for gay Zero Escape.
2. Writing/Story: What stereotypes, clichés or tropes do you hope will be avoided or minimized in a story/genre such as this?
It'd be super cliche, to me at least:
For the killer to be a very homophobic individual, because that's usually the type of antagonist that tends to pop up in stories featuring gay people. It's an easy way to garner sympathy points for the characters and, at least to me, will just have the villain's lack of dimension excused with a "Oh, they're hateful. That's all I need to know."
3. Predictability: Where do you think this story is going?
See above for how I predict it might go. I'd love to be proven wrong though.
As for the survivors? I imagine our protagonist going to that great Castro District in the sky by the end, at least.
4. Playability/Interest: Does the explicit sexual content turn you off from experiencing this VN?

I don't think it'll be an issue.

Oh crazy! I'm in LA as well more or less. The best Escape room I've experienced so far was in Anaheim, near Disneyland infact lol. It's good to see another Los Angelino on here, and you'll notice that there's alot in my game that I'm riffing off of that only native Angelino's might know. You may find yourself nodding as you're playing LMA thinking..."Oh...it's so true." :lol:

Maaannnn, if people came out of LMA saying it even slightly was as good as Zero Escape I would be so ecstatic, I'd probably cry. lol
As for the survivors? I imagine our protagonist going to that great Castro District in the sky by the end, at least.
Well obviously I can't say anything on that but I can say I do like how everyone has a very different idea of how this might turn out for Adam.

Amen brother.

Happy Weekend all! Just wanted to post some more teasers and such. LMA progress has been slow this week as the studio I work for had to submit our game for format on Wednesday. Nevertheless it meant an all-nighter and loss of sleep. Oof~!

Anyways here's a preview of one of the Puzzle Rooms:

I plan to put in some serious work over the course of the next week.

I couldn't resist peeking at the spoiler haha. I think a mature filter is still doable if you, say, need to show certain scenes but can censor the images. Ultimately though, I'm sure you'll choose whichever is best for your game. :D

The new previews look really cool! I'm totally digging that hot pink blood(?). And the villain's design has intensified my suspicions of the butcher. But then that makes him too obvious of a suspect, so the true culprit must be someone else, right? :lol:

Hey Arowana! Haha don't worry about the spoilers that's what they're there for. Besides a playable demo is about ready for public spoilage. Just need to playtest it more thoroughly so I'm not releasing something of a hotmess. ARgHghgghhh!!! lol

The pink isn't actually blood (in my head its body paint I believe) but it is symbolic and is a re-occuring theme throughout the game that you'll probably start to understand as you dive deeper into the story. =)

Haha Bart is definitely very suspicious to me, however it reads like total red-herring fare doesn't it? But remember that movie "Basic Instinct", where everyone was like "Sharon Stone can't be the killer cause she's too like DUH-obviously the killer" and then it turns out she totally was the killer and everyone was like omfg-duh? lmao. So who knows! :lol: I'll make a new thread when the demo is up and ready.

Hope everything with Pirate Mermaid is coming along! Personally I'm struggling as I've experienced a WEIRD upsurge in dating recently and its distracting, I liked it better when I had zero romantic prospects. lol

I like how bright, colourful and striking the colour pallet for this game has turned out to be.

1. Playability/Interest: 1st impressions of LMA? What kind of experience do you think this game will be?
Looks like a detective thriller with some hot guys and hot action! Hope there will be difficult moral choices and not a simple good/evil concept.

2. Writing/Story: What stereotypes, clichés or tropes do you hope will be avoided or minimized in a story/genre such as this?
I'm fine about stereotypes. Just make characters detailed and not simple.

3. Predictability: Where do you think this story is going?
A serial killer in the mask killing cute guys? Maybe he is a jealous gay, someone's ex? Or opposite - straight guy who hates gays and that's why killing him? Or maybe it's a girl! I don't know))
Or... maybe it's a whole hidden cult whos members do ritual murders, while meantime having crazy orgies in their lair? And one of the plot branch allows main character to join them. That would be hoooot!!!

4. Playability/Interest: Does the explicit sexual content turn you off from experiencing this VN?
Are you kidding me?! There are soooo few bara/yaoi VN of high quality with explicit sexual content, that I want to cry sometimes! Even Witcher 3 has more sex than some moders yaoi games. Everyone's afraid of sexual content in games, thinking that kids will play it. But kids can download and watch some porn as well, can they not? What's the difference? If parents don't pay attention to what their kids do, it's their problem, but not creator of the content. So, I hope the situation will change in future and we will experience games of wider content and choices.

Hey! TGIF everybody!

UPDATE: LMA is coming along slowly but surely. Currently I've reached the segment in the story just before the Final Puzzle Room. Pretty exciting stuff! I'm having trouble as this is where all your choices start to really show and I'm abit mind-boggled on how I'm gonna branch everything out in an organized way. Not only that but the winding-ness of it is proving difficult for me to script as I'm losing track of event points and how exactly I want to structure it. (I wish I was an artist with more of a coders brain...but oh well :oops:)

@CosmicFan Hey! Always a pleasure to hear from ya CF and thank you! I'm really happy with the visual direction overall of LMA. I think it has something unique to offer aesthetically that's unique for a VN. The vivid colors mixed with dark I think kind of gives it a surreal and menacing look while remaining beautiful and provocative. There's an dark energy there, painfully seared or branded with hot pink. And don't worry I take protection very seriously. Infact I just went to a clinic for a checkup yesterday morning. I think it's a good thing to always and regularly know your status. :D

@Art926 Thanks for the indepth comment! Dude, I especially loved some of the stuff you were coming up with under "Predictability". There are definitely some amazing ideas there that I wish I had thought of and may have to steal from you lol. (Unless...I had already thought of them...hmmm... :roll: ) And I agree there are very few Bara VN's in english, however all the ones I've seen in english are almost exclusively about explicit sexual content. With sex and "fapbait", if you will, being the main purpose for playing. While I LOVE those games I'm happy to say that LMA, while it does have some explicit content, will primarily focus on those difficult moral choices, the integrity and genuine or disingenuous nature of man, paranoia and ultimately survival.

I really hope you guys enjoy this VN as much as I enjoyed making it when it comes out. And find it absolutely riveting. *crosses fingers*

1. Playability/Interest: How does your 1st impression of LMA (before playing demo) compare to how you felt after completing it?

It was pretty good! The story was good, and I liked the art (To an extent, I wasn't too fond of Lars, but I liked the others). I would definitely play it again, though throughout playing the game I felt an odd disconnect from the reader and the main character. The main character felt less relatable, kind of stuck-up/self involved. Though, I assume that's the way the character was written and made. One thing that left a foul taste in my mouth was in the beginning when Adam said "He's cute, for an asian". Though again, that could just be the character arc.

2. Writing/Story: Enjoyed pace of dialog in relation to the story or did you find story developments happening too quickly?

The story was well paced, the only part that felt rushed/awkward was when Lars showed up. It was still well written and in a way reminded me of a game called "Danganronpa", If you've heard of it. The vibe that comes off is similar. I'd suggest giving that game a shot, maybe you could get more ideas from it to!

3. Predictability: Where do you think this story is going?

My idea of what is going to happen leads one of two ways, Lars was never killed, but was hired for the act. He is an actor, and as such fear in his eyes is something hes had training for. Also the lights went out, so they could just have a placed a dummy there. My other idea is that it is actually a killer, though I lean towards the first part of the story.

4. Playability/Interest: Does the explicit sexual content turn you off from experiencing this VN?

Not at all, explicit sexual content doesn't bother me at all, though it may stop me from playing till I was alone. A scene toggle could be a good addition, and it may allow some YouTuber's to do Let's plays of the game, or at least remove the effort of blacking out the screen. There is code on the Ren'py's site for such an option, here: https://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/co ... s_optional Though, as it says at the top of the page it may be out of date.

5. Predictability: Do you think the killer is blatantly obvious? Who do you think it is?

I completely have no idea who it could be, though I suspect the peek we get of the killer may be a dummy or something a long the lines.

6. Do you have a favorite guy so far and why so?

I'd have to say my favorite character so far is Lucky. While he is cute, I'm not particularly attracted to the character. He seems to be the nicest of the group, actually seems to have more empathy for others. Also he wants to make video games, 10/10. Though attraction wise I'd say... well the killer looked pretty cool.


All in all, I liked the game! In the demo I wish there were a few more dialogue choices, but it's just that, a demo. I'd give the demo an 8.5/10! Can't wait to play the full game when it's out!

Edit: Forgot to mention I like your music choices!

Hi DuskSnare! Thanks for the comment. This thread has been moved (left for dead) as the demo is out and the most current discussion can be found here instead: viewtopic.php?f=45&t=43218

I have received your comments and would like/will respond to you asap in the new thread. :D

We're back with another Summer Visual Novel! (Actually, LMA is anything but summery) But seriously, this May.1st 2017 I'm happy to announce that the full version of "Let's MEAT Adam" is out and available for purchase on the Soulsoft Electronic Arts Itch page for $7! Yay for releases!

Thank you to all our supporters who have not only given encouragement but also helped spread the word and provided invaluable feedback. It means the world to me. I realize that this game may be polarizing but I hope you enjoy the passion and craft that went into making it a reality. Once again, thank you!

Never fear a Mac version is here!

Because of the many requests (and with the help of the BxB-playing, mac user community) I've been able to finally release a demo and complete version of Let's MEAT Adam! Now a whole other group of lambs can enter the hallowed rooms of Escape Mansion WeHo.

Let's MEAT Adam is a Bara, BxB visual novel set (as eloquently stated by a reviewer) in a neon NIGHTMARE of an escape room turned death game. Muscles, Blood, Escape, Trust, Betray, MEAT.
