Will the next part of Lucid9 be available for free like Inciting Incident? When will it be released?
Yes, it is our hope to release it for free. There is currently no release date for the full heroine routes. Please follow our blog or social media for future updates. If you have any specific questions, you can always contact us via email or Discord.
Do you plan on doing a Kickstarter?
Some time ago, we announced our plan to create a Kickstarter to fund the remainder of the game. You can find more information about the campaign in our blog post. It's been a lengthy process, but we will keep readers informed of our progress via our blog and social media. Our current goal is to launch the campaign in the first quarter of 2023. A draft of our Kickstarter page can be found here.
How many routes will there be in the next part of Lucid9? How long will they be?
Lucid9 will have 4 heroine routes and 1 true route. We estimate the length of each route to be somewhat less than Inciting Incident (roughly 10 hours), but that estimation may change the closer we are near completion.
What are the heroine prologues?
We call them "prologues", but they are not prequels of any sort to what you read in Lucid9: Inciting Incident. Rather, these short scenes serve as a prelude to the heroine routes, narrated from the point-of-view of the girls themselves. These occur shortly before the beginning of their routes (and in some cases, even further away in the past). While each scene varies in length, altogether they will add between 1 and 1 ½ hours of content to Lucid9. The prologues were released in 2019 and can be played after the completion of Inciting Incident.
When will the voiced version of Inciting Incident be completed?
There is currently no release date for the voice acting patch. Additionally, in light of the Kickstarter, we've decided to list voice acting as a stretch goal. The casting company assisting us, Yin Yang Voices, is comprised of professional actors who are working on other commercial projects, so it will take some time for them to record for Lucid9. We will be sure to keep everyone updated on its status following the Kickstarter campaign.
Will there be an option to turn off the voiceover?
Yes.
Are you looking to translate Lucid9 in another language?
If you are a translator and would like to translate the game, please send us a portfolio of your previous work. While we are unable to directly assist in the translation process, we can provide a copy of the scripts, as well as any additional assets.
Will there be erotic scenes?
No, there won't. We never saw much reason to include them. This isn't to say we're avoiding the topic of sex altogether--just don't expect any explicit imagery.
Can I donate to the project? If not, how else can I support you?
We are currently not accepting any donations, but we appreciate the offer! The best way to support us is to share Lucid9 with everyone you know. Feel free to follow us on social media and interact with us. Your support is fuel for our motivation to continue working on this project. It may seem like a small gesture, but it really does mean a lot!
How do you feel about fan-made content for Lucid9? (Fanart, fanfiction, Let's Plays, walkthroughs, etc.)
We encourage any kind of fan-made content. You're free to do anything you please so long as your work is released for free and proper credit is given. However, please do not claim your work is anything more than fanwork, nor claim that Fallen Snow Studios endorses it.
Are you looking for more staff?
We've opened general applications to join our team on our website. We're currently in need of an additional programmer, but we will review other roles and contact selected applicants if another position were to open.
