milk+ visual

Welcome to the official Patreon page for milk+ visual! We're milk+ visual, a doujin visual novel studio that makes yuri games in a wide variety of genres and settings within a connected universe. From horror to romance to sci-fi, we want to create all sorts of unusual visual novels featuring girls that love girls! Founded in July 2017, we released our first game soundless - A MODERN SALEM IN REMOTE AREA - in September of the same year, and it has been very popular since. If this is your first time hearing about us, you can check out our website here! We're a three-person group comprised of lead dev papaya, assistant artist Cherimoya, and editor Faust. Newsletter | Steam | Itch.io | Official Community Discord | Bluesky | Tumblr | TikTok | Instagram | YouTube What's this for? At this time, I, the lead developer papaya, handle the majority of operations, from nearly all aspects of development (save audio, editing, and testing) to public relations and marketing. Assistance has come in the form of either volunteers or free-use assets. On top of this, I have to work freelance to earn money, and freelance work naturally takes priority. Right now, milk+ visual is primarily funded by my freelancing and random generous donations. While we do plan on releasing commercial titles in the near future, we are not yet at that stage. I would like to be able to work more freely on milk+ visual titles and compensate help properly, as well as rely less on free assets and get help for more than just audio, editing, and testing. The funds from this Patreon will be used first and foremost as a way to get everyone (including myself) a proper paycheck and pay for things like website maintenance. Supporting milk+ visual comes with a unique offer where you will be permanently* granted access to a special sneak peeks channel on our Discord and your name in our credits. This goes for any form of support, as we have offered for a few years now. However, when you subscribe to the Patreon specifically, you receive even more perks! Some pledge perks include... Sneak-peeks You will be able to see full preproduction assets such as character and set designs, my thought processes behind various aspects of design, and development information about unannounced and "backburner" (POLYCHROMANIA) titles and (at higher tiers) raw assets for unreleased titles that won't be a part of our public press content. Patron-Only Artwork Every month, we release a Patron-only piece of artwork, which all Patrons can vote on a pool of games for the staff to choose from. (This is a temporary change from our Side Stories & Artwork model, which will be returning when we've reached a comfortable stage of 7388 development. If you pledge, you can view the archives of these stories!) Patron-Only Q&A We do monthly Q&A sessions where $5 and higher Patrons can ask just about anything, either in the comments on the post or through a form! Any answers we can reveal publicly will be posted publicly the following month, but only Patrons get to see the secret answers! No matter the tier, you get to see these answers! Patron-Only Streams We stream every once in a while publicly, usually at a rate of once per month. $5 and higher Patrons will get to see us stream more often, including streams for things that don't often enter the public sphere, like the preproduction process, programming, more "spoilery" CGs, and more! These streams will also have secret VODs available for those who couldn't catch them. Seasonal Merchandise Club Merch previews coming soon... Pledge within a season and get merch the month after it ends! Those who pledge at $10 get a postcard and a sticker while those who pledge at $20 get that and a sticker sheet! This winter 2025 season, pledge anytime within December to February, then keep successfully pledging into March 2026 to become eligible for your seasonal items! (Please ensure that your address is correct before March. You must have at least one successful seasonal pledge and one successful March pledge in the desired tier to remain eligible for merch rewards. Subscribing to both our Patreon and our SubscribeStar does not equal double the merchandise, and you will still receive a set of one merch piece each.) And more... Check out the tiers to see everything you can get!

Simply provide proof of purchase to a server admin to claim. *Access to the channel and your name in the credits can be revoked due to certain circumstances, such as the leaking of supporter-only content or behavior that would get you banned from our community. Released Games soundless - A MODERN SALEM IN REMOTE AREA - Website | Steam | Itch.io | Press Kit Our first title and our most well-regarded, Soundless is a free denpa horror about a cursed girl named Mercy who was raised in a cult town. One day, the Holy Maiden Auma tells Mercy that she, too, has been cursed. Visceral and tragic, Soundless features a classic 00s Japanese visual novel look and a multi-faceted look into the cycle of abuse. Three Lilies and Their Ghost Stories Itch.io | Press Kit Three Lilies and Their Ghost Stories is our second free title, as well as the first title to have an Android release. Originally conceptualized for the 2020 Spooktober Jam, Three Lilies is a linear story anthology. Each story features ghosts and girls who love girls, but the genres, settings, and even time periods are wildly different. From a romance in 90s rural China, to a horror in 2010s suburban United States, to a sci-fi on a near-future floating island in the Atlantic, there's a story for everyone. Flotsam Song Itch.io | Press Kit Flotsam Song is our most recent title and our shortest, created for the Only One of Any Asset Jam. Totaling at only 1,000 words, it follows the story of when the siren Selinuntius met the deaf girl Melos. It's the perfect title for those who want to scratch a little yuri itch without having to spend a lot of time or break the bank. In-Progress Games 7388.loving(Grace) Website | Itch.io | Proof-of-concept edition 7388.loving(Grace) is our upcoming title. Once an unfinished NaNoRenO 2018 entry, it has been elevated to new heights and will be released as a fully-fledged commercial title. Set in Florida after a nuclear apocalypse sends humanity underground, a homemade LLM chat AI named Rhode-S23 is reactivated by the wandering companion android Merope. At the same exact time, a mysterious person with no memories connects to Rhode, quickly finding themselves with its chat module and database at their fingertips. With only 73.88 hours until Rhode completely fails for good, the protagonist must learn whatever they can with the assistance of Merope, an equally as buggy LLM that can only be communicated with through Rhode. What can they learn in the minimal time they're given? And are the girls in the vlogs they've found in Rhode's database important to understanding their identity? POLYCHROMANIA Teaser site POLYCHROMANIA is our first adults-only title, a gruesome dystopian drama set in a near-future Tokyo. The protagonist, Ishikawa Hotaru, returns to her deliriant addiction after a series of traumatizing life events causes her to relapse. However, unlike her past highs, she finds herself in a strange alternate world, where she is greeted by a woman standing among spiders.
