Hooked!

What is Hooked?
An 18+ Visual Novel set in the early 2000s, about three girls trying to make their way into the adult entertainment industry! They meet you, a clueless fisherman, who has no idea about his potential.
The three main girls in the visual novel are:
- Helen (the goth girl)
- Hannah (the bimbo)
- Max (the nerd)
Get to know the girls closely, and make fun naughty videos with them! It's a comedic, lighthearted and goofy story filled with lewd stuff!

The next chapter will be available on patreon first, for only $5USD!
How do I install Hooked?

will the full version when complete ever be free?
great work this is amazing work
So far my plans are to have a free version here, yes! A polished version might get published on other platforms for a few dollars. But I'm planning to have a free version of the full game here eventually
The aesthetic and music is great, good job man
any news on when this will be updated? amazing work btw im very much looking forward to more!
Thank you! It‘ll be at the very least one more month until chapter 2 is finished. I’ll be on Patreon for a while before it’s public
This is amazing! Love the art and the vibes! Can't wait for more!
I absolutely adore you BK. You capture expression and flow so exceptionally. It makes me wish you took commissions.
genuinely great writing and characterization, and of course amazing art as always
Oh how I love your 3d work, great job on the characters!
Really looking forward to what comes next, really liking the more 'good guy' feel for the main character compared to the usual fare of douchebags in visual novels.
I do feel the need to mention my opinion that the text font is a bit difficult to read and that the inner monologue segments are a bit too long and 'skippable'.
I see, thanks for the feedback!
will there be a Russian language ?
Hey there! I am in talks with someone who might help me with translations. If I am able to get translations, hopefully it'll be: Russian, Spanish, Japanese
Thank you for the answer. I'll be waiting !
Nice work on this! Entertaining and fun. I added it to my list of "Good Adult Games". Looking forward to future updates!
good writing, nice art, smooth animation.
gets a follow from me. looking forward to more
i absolutely loved this, i hope there is a dom/sub route as i love the whole idea of them teasing me and being so controlling, is there plans around this?
Hehehe, I don't wanna spoil! But I will say that there will be some BDSM elements, though I won't lean super far in that direction.
alrighty, great to know
I LOVE IT! the art syle is amazing, not to mention that some ren'py games that look worse have have bad optimization yet this game is SMOOTH with great graphics and art style! I cant wait for chapter 2 and see how far this game goes! Cant wait
Holy Mary mother of god, I don't think I have ever seen better art styles and character models in a single Ren'py game, let alone porn games. Goddamn I was legitimately impressed damn near every three pages or so. Wow. There's not a whole lot to say as it is really short, but right as I was getting really, really into the game the demo ended. Surprisingly good writing for how cheesy the premise is, and again, the best art in any single Ren'py game I've ever seen. Very unique and standout in the best way possible. This is an absolute 10/10. Once there are a few more chapters in the game, this will be rivaling Goddesses' Whim as the best adult visual novel on Itch.io. Keep up the amazing work.
Any plans for mobile?
Hoping to at least get it on Android! I just haven't looked a lot into it yet. But definitely would love to have it on mobile!
just finished the demo and i cant express how excited i am to see this game continu
Will this be a "Every chapter will eventually be free but F2P players must wait longer then patreon subs" Or a "The first chapter is a demon pay for full game ^^"
First option! I plan to have the whole game on itch when it’s done. But I will have chapters on Patreon for a while before making them free.
Oh cool then ill def be keeping tabs on this game ^^
Pretty cool and clean.
Is there foot fetish content planned?
Hope so, it is the mark of a good adult game
Eh, I dont think it HAS to be in the game to be good. Its just personal preference
Do you sell it here or on steam? I honestly thought this would have been a complete game or an Early Access for some reason....
I am planning to talk with someone about releasing on Steam, but I want there to be a little more content first!
Thank you, to be sure please add it here too, the full version.
I'm not entirely sure what I will be able to buy in the end with steams weird rules.
i love it cant wait to see more
Keep up the great work fantastic debut project
Super excited for more! I replayed trying every option to see if anything changes lo
Nice little intro, very well written. The graphics are incredible.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Android?
No support as of yet! But I’m planning to look into it!
okay thx!
This is incredibly nice so far.
You probably want to look into compression/packing, as with the raw image and video files you will likely quickly run up the size of the game a lot! But great job, super smooth and very cool setup for the story already!
I agree, I definitely need to look into it! Any recommended resources?
First off you may want to look at using smaller image/video formats, avoiding PNG and instead using jpeg where you can, or even webp for high quality but tiny size (). For video webm is a good choice but can be a bit difficult to get in good quality (mostly issues with high contrast).
ffmpeg, either command prompt version or a GUI version will be very useful to re-encode and compress! This is a mouthful, but it does cover some optimal commands for ffmpeg https://www.reddit.com/r/visualnovels/comments/7yq1wa/tutorial_how_to_save_space...
But the main thing from renpy is using build.archive and build.classify, as archiving does compress files into archives, but it's not necessarily super optimized on its own, which is why doing the heavier compression beforehand is better.
However, by not archiving, you are keeping the game open to run on future platforms, but not really something you'd need to worry about as it stands now.
Oh an another optimization could be to instead of using a full image per frame, you could use smaller separated images, for example for characters, in the SpriteManager. Then use those sprites with Layered Images for composition.
Having a spritesheet of character images, per character, would also help in the future where you might want to make changes, or support different outfits or such in an already existing scene, without having to render the entire scene :)
Spritesheets will be especially useful for UI elements or other extra resources

Thanks for the info, I'll look into it!
This is so sick. What a great first try. Characters have their own personalities and traits and I can't wait to see how that evolves over time.
This being your debut VN, I am actually impressed. Animations are on point and run smootly on my potato PC. The sound and the jokes are great. Even the main menu looks neat! Keep it up Blender! Lets just hope it wont cost a lot for later updates.
Honestly shocked he hasn't made one sooner seeing how good his normal animations are.
Plan is to not increase the price at all!
This is crazy good
Cool art style! I hope you see it through and finish the game one day.
I wish you good luck
Thanks! I hope so too, haha! Started on chapter two yesterday.
amazing.
Thank you!
Thank you :)
