The Time Collector
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
A young woman is rescued only to discover her saviors are strange people from far away.
PLEASE NOTE: This story is only around 10 minutes long and is incomplete. It is an early concept visual novel that never fully came to fruition. But if you enjoyed Avalon and Penny for Your Thoughts, you might enjoy this as well. There's no lewd content in The Time Collector.

do you have any plans on completing or at least working on this further...ever? i have it donloaded, i'm just hesitant to start it knowing that i might never finish it. my luck i'll probably fall in love with some of the characters and never know what happens. i watched as much of it as i could in a petal among thorns and i'm about to check out a moment of bliss. i've thoroughly enjoyed all of your work so far. thanks for all of your time and energy that you've given so far in your creations!
I don't have any plans on completing The Time Collector. I'm sure glad to hear you were enjoying it though. I paid homage to it in A Petal Among Thorns because it was the project I started on before Avalon. I scrapped it because a sci-fi space exploration story was too ambitious for my skill level at the time. I could do it now with my increased abilities, but I probably won't revisit it for a long time. I have too many other projects in the works and too many other ideas I'd like to play with. Sorry, bigfuckinE. Maybe one day, but probably not any time soon. Thank you for playing, and for your support!
Romance?
Not really. It's more of an introduction to a story that I never completed. It's about 10 minutes long. I'd recommend playing it only if you're a really big fan of my work.
Did you write out more of the storyline? I thought it was a very good concept, and the chracters interesting; definitely interested in more, even as a non-lewd SF story.
I had some ideas for it. Merry Andria was going to play an important role. Daelyn was going to trade an original banana tree for the release of the crew aboard the Cardinal Star. So Kyrsi would have been reunited with her mother and other crew members. Past that, the idea was that her and Daelyn would travel the galaxy together exploring, discovering, and treasure hunting. For Kyrsi, the treasures were typically objects that had a significant impact on various time periods. That's why she's called The Time Collector.
Now I really want to read/play it! :D
Like @Clockwork, I want to read/play it now too!
Really nice pictures and there is a story to be unfold.
But there are to much dialogues without a functionality, well, too much talking without anything happening :)
Yep! The Time Collector was my very first attempt at Visual Novels and I had every intention of making it completely kinetic. I found out that most people prefer to have some control over the story. I've been trying to add more options to my latest works. Thank you for playing The Time Collector! :-)
Do you plan on going forward with this after Penny? I want to play more of it, it has great potential.
You definitely should revisit this story in the future. I can already see it being as great as Avalon, or maybe even better.
It certainly would have been something interesting, especially as it continued forward. I hope I can come back to it one day and give Kyrsi the attention she deserves. :-)
Please, please do that? This is another Avalon/Penny for your Thoughts in the reckoning, as I see it. And as others said, don't put sex in it and try it as a brilliant non adult VN. Although if a nude woman or man comes out a shower and grabs a towel, that's not sex, and that in movies a lot!
It would be risky, but a non-adult VN could set Steam/GOG/Itch alight!
I've certainly thought about making visual novels sans adult content. The Time Collector and Penny for Your Thoughts would work so much better as stories without sex. An adult VN also has to be constructed with the idea of sex when you go into creating a story. There's a lot of stories that I can't tell because they really wouldn't work as adult visual novels.
What might the future hold? I'm not sure. Currently I have several projects to finish in the adult space. Working with AVNs has also given me the opportunity to explore my own sexuality and it's opened me up to be far more sexually adventurous than I used to be. It's been therapeutic and helpful, and I've also enjoyed it. Once I finish a few more projects, I'll re-evaluate where I am and where I want to go in regards to storytelling.
You're welcome to talk to me on Discord if you'd like to have a conversation. I'm active there, and we have a lot of great people eager to socialize with other likeminded folks. Thanks for playing, and I'm glad you're enjoying my work.
And another one!
This was my practice novel before I started on Avalon. It's very short but it had a lot of potential. :-)
It still does, even as a non-lewd VN. I did see a cameo additional fragment in Petal's story, which piqued my interest even more.
Couldn't stop watching it in the game - Petal had to pull me away!!! :) Please do something with this dev!
