Hey there!
We Neon and Happi are working on a lewd visual novel with sandbox features and we can't wait to share it with you all.
Main Features of Jugs Bay

Why Are We Doing This?
We're big fans of lewd visual novel games. There's something about diving into a story with a love interest and doing the “deed” together. And let's not get started on sandbox games – we love the freedom and creativity one can express.
We’re both experienced workers in our industry and are confident that we can create a enjoyable erotic sandbox visual novel.
From the Ground Up
To achieve our goal of creating a sandbox-rich visual novel, we're building this baby from the ground up with our own specially developed game editor engine. It's a bit scary, but super exciting!
