Welcome to Aqua Vitae

The Concept

Aqua Vitae is both a place and an experience. As a player, you'll navigate this neon-lit bathhouse, where every visit brings new encounters, opportunities, and stories. The game combines:

• Roguelite exploration and progression
• Dating sim elements and relationship building
• Resource management (Stamina, Lust, and your growing reputation)
• A rich narrative exploring LGBTQ+ themes and relationships

Early Development Progress

We're currently in early development, focusing on core systems and visual identity. Today, I'm excited to share our logo development, which captures the essence of what we're building:

These designs blend cyberpunk aesthetics with classical bathhouse elements, using circuit patterns and neon effects to create something unique. We settled on the circuit board water drop as our primary symbol, representing the fusion of technology and tradition.

Core Gameplay Preview

For our initial demo, we're implementing:

• Basic movement and interaction systems
• Resource management (Stamina/Lust meters)
• Simple NPC interactions
• Three power-ups (Poppers, Blue Pill, Cock Ring)
• Score multiplier system ("Stud Factor")

The goal is to create an engaging loop where players balance their resources while building connections and a reputation within the bathhouse.

Technical Framework

• Developed in Godot
• Initial release for Windows & Mac
• Pixel art aesthetic with cyberpunk elements
• Controller, keyboard, and mouse support

What's Next?

Our immediate roadmap includes:

1. Playable prototype with core mechanics
2. Character customization system
3. Basic NPC interaction framework
4. Procedural level generation
5. First playable demo
