Description

They claim to be working on this project for three years, and have an art director, designer, and concept artist. Yet the backgrounds from the screencaps are generic images found with generic search terms on Google Images.

If it was a Ren’Py game - I can see three: One ‘script’ programmer that makes sure all the scripts flow properly, one ‘systems’ programmer for the dating sim elements, and one ‘minigame’ programmer for the battle elements. Maybe, if they got really well funded or just had someone who was willing to work for resume fodder, a fourth to coordinate peer review and testing.

Could somebody post some of the art that pukey took down of the characters done for this? Either here or on 20pc.net ? I kinda liked some of the designs for them…

The artist just deleted most of the characters/journals related to the game from her deviantart account.

Placeholder imagery while the art was finished off?
 
Note I’m 99% sure this is scam, just saying this is not evidence compared to other things discovered.

Why would a legit fan project that’s been going on for 3 years that got an art director, designer, and concept artist with “gorgeous artwork” use generic found images as backgrounds?

Despite the generic of the characters, can’t say the art was bad though.

This isn’t really as “damning” as the other evidence. I would not be surprised if a legit fan project doing the same type of thing would do the same use of BGs if they didn’t opt to create their own.

Three years means that they started at the middle of the first season.  
That’s a long time to keep a project like this a secret.  
Especially with that many people.  
…never understood why they needed so many programmers for this type of game…
