Developer Notes:

My First Story: Royal Switch

• Two people, born the same day, but in very different circumstances. One is a Princess, born to rule. The other is a peasant, born to live in obscurity. They live very different lives, until one day the fates collide, and they meet, only to discover that they are identical in (almost) every way! What would happen if they switched places?
• Wait…you say you have heard this story? Like, 100 times? Okay, fine. But this version includes some elements that a certain classic of American literature lacks, including:
  • Elves!
  • Sex!
  • Talking Cats!
  • Training!
  • Corruption!
  • Romance!
  • Intrigue!
  • Uh…Talking Cats!
• I created this story in part to explore the related but distinct genres of training and corruption. How are they similar? How are they different? Most importantly, how do they look from the perspective of the object of the training or corruption?
• Join us as we pervert a beloved tale for our own prurient amusement, as peasant Esther and Princess Brigitte embark on parallel adventures to find their true selves!
• Note: I envision this as a visual novel, not a game, so it is very much story-based rather than task-based. Also, Royal Switch falls somewhere between a visual novel and a kinetic novel. There will be choices, and they will affect the story in both the near- and long-term, but as I start this project, I do not think they will cause momentous changes. I want you to relax and enjoy the story rather than worrying about what you might be missing.

Features

• Female protagonists
• Training story line
• Corruption story line
• Fantasy setting (did I mention the Elves and talking cats?)
• Romance story lines with potential for harem (yes, women can have harems)
• Choices that can change story outcomes
• Domination and submission
• Bondage and discipline
• Humiliation
• Exhibitionism
• Political intrigue

Fun Fact
Royal Switch may be my first visual novel, but it is not my first idea for a visual novel. The original inspiration, with a working title Steampunk Western Mystery (catchy, right?), set in an alternate-history version of the Pacific Northwest in 1900, suffers from a far more complex plot and the lack of an ending. Still, I have developed that world to the point where I want to showcase it a bit, so patrons will see some previews for that project as well.

I used to be a painter, but then life got in the way. After several years away from art, I decided to try digital media. I have been reading visual novels for a while, and I write quite a lot for my day job, so I thought I would combine my interests and see what I could create.

Thank you so much for your interest in my work! I have found this hobby to be extremely fulfilling and I want to invite you to join me on the journey. As a patron, you will get access to the following:

• Customized renders
• Patron polls and contests
• Work-in-progress story updates
• A chance to choose story elements
• Your patronage will allow me to support my Daz store habit, and will encourage me to keep going with this surprisingly time-consuming endeavor. My current hardware limits my workflow as well, so if your support allows me to upgrade somewhere along the way, we all benefit!
