Horton Bay Stories – Jake [v0.4.9.3] [Lumphorn Games]

December 3, 2024F95

Welcome to our first game set in the town of Horton Bay!
Our main character, Jake (or nickname of your choosing) Rogers, finds himself at the end of his final school year and ready to head off to his local university along with his long term girlfriend and best mate.
That is until everything gets turned on it’s head and forces him to change his plans!
Now with seemingly few options, he decides to travel to the other side of the country to the coastal town of Horton Bay, where he can start fresh and try to rebuild a new life for himself!

He’ll forge new relationships, whether they be good friends, romantic interests, adulterous affairs or simply some good old, no-strings casual sex!
He’ll explore the town and meet interesting new people. Get himself a job and an education. Even find himself getting caught up in the middle of a ruthless crime war!

But most importantly, he gets to start the first chapter of the Horton Bay Stories!

Thank you for your interest and we hope you’ll like it enough to stick around for more!

Developer Notes:

2022-04-01

Apologies for the unfinished event this month. The scenes with Carly took an insane amount of time to render out, leaving me with very little time to complete the rest of what I had planned.

If you have been focussing on Gemma’s or Adel’s arc, or you haven’t been working on any of your house mates’ relationships, you can still complete Episode 2 as intended. However if you’re focussing on Christine, you will need to wait for next month’s update to view her scene.

The final scene for each of the girls does not affect their general progression however. So you can still play out which ever scene you like to continue the game as usual.

Next update we’ll be tieing off as many loose ends as we can fit in from previous content in preparation for starting Episode 3.

Thanks again for your interest in our first game!

Lumphorn Games is a Husband/Wife team and we’ve been working on the idea of Horton Bay for a few years at this point, and it’s been through several iterations, however this is our first public release.

We’ve built the actual town ourselves from scratch and also composed and produced all of the music you’ll find in game.

There are a few scenes where we’ve used assets from the Daz store, such as the locations in the intro, the characters themselves and maybe a third of the props in the game. But it’s mostly our own work.

The town is about 40% complete at the time of writing this, which is enough for the purposes of this game. However we’ll be continuing to exand it throughout the course of Jake, and all of the stories to follow – of which I hope to be many. We already have outlines for several more games that we’ll focus on, as this one comes to an end.

The first release of Jake contains not only the prologue, but also the entire first episode! We’ve done this for a few reasons:

Firstly, we wanted to actually give you guys something to play! For me, there’s nothing worse than finding a game that you’re interested in and have it stop after 30 minutes of playtime.

Secondly, we wanted to prove that we’re serious about the scope that we’re promising. This is no small feat and we realise that. At the time of me writing this there are currently 57 locations and over 100 NPC’s in the game! That’s a lot of story to cover! And that brings us to the third point . . .

We wanted to prove to OURSELVES that we could do it. The amount of work has been insane and we’ve done it with very little acknowledgment or reward. And after it all, we still want to carry on!

For the first few releases, you’ll notice that the streets and various locations are a little . . . empty. But that will change as we move forward. Shops will open, people will be going about their lives and the town will generally feel more ‘lived in’.

The goal is to have a wide range of activities for any given hour of any day, but that takes time.

This is especially apparent during the weekends. For now, there isn’t a lot going on during Saturday and Sunday while in free roam. The main reason for that is because the first weekend is taken up entirely by the events of episode 1 and by the time you reach the second weekend you’ll likely have already played out most of the content from the first release. There are some events that can only be seen after a few weeks in game, but not many yet. But filling up the weekends is definitely near the top of our priority list!

I’d also like to quickly mention a couple of things:

NTR – Is it avoidable? Yep. Not only that, but you can also turn it off so you won’t even see it by accident. However, I will say this – Turning off NTR won’t just stop everyone else in the game from having sex. If you decide that you want to make another guy’s girlfriend your love interest, that’s fine . . . but he’s still going to fuck his girl!

For the most part, we’ve tried to keep the NTR elements as consequences of the choices you make. Or at least the true cuckolding side of it. I don’t particularly like using the term ‘NTR’ as a blanket description as it has a wide scale of meanings and implications, but there are already one or two discussions on here about that subject!

Sandbox – Why? Well, why not? I know a lot of people dislike sandbox games and that’s fine. So we’ve made concessions for that, the same as we have for NTR.

If you don’t like the sandbox elements of the game, you can simply not play them, at least for the most part.

We’ve made this game a hybrid of sorts, where the main story plays out just like any other VN. Linear-ish story with choices that influence the outcomes.

However, there’s also all of the side stories! And that’s where the sandbox comes into play. You don’t have to play them if you don’t want to.

Personally, I enjoy both Sandbox and NTR in games. I like the freedom to play my own way and to have consequences for the choices I make. But I also get it that a lot of people don’t. So we’ve given you, the player, a choice.

Does this mean we have to wait for months on end to get new content? – No. Granted, each episode will certainly take more than a month to make. But we’ll try our best to put out at least one update a month (barring disaster) and if we can’t, we’ll also do our best to let you know why and when you might expect one.

Even if an entire episode is incomplete, you’ll still get to see whatever progress we’re making as time goes by. Plus you’ll still have any new free roam content regardless of the completion of any givn main story episode.

IMPORTANT:

This update will be the final build for episode 5.
For those of you who use the Update Patch only, you will need to make sure that your game is updated to THIS version in order to use next month’s Update Patch.

As of next month, the Update Patch will be reset to contain only Episode 6 content.
