hey ! i didn't realise how much attention my last post got and it was nice to see lol, thanks to those who had faith in this i guess !

i'm just slowly getting back into renpy with another project of mine and i remembered this project ! and my brain just decided to go zoom ! along with OLBA no longer getting content :(

i thought it would be fun to very slowly pick up the pieces

i guess it's just seeing all the progress i had with this (not much), or im procrastinating soo well im being productive again !

This doesn't mean I will be going head on with this but just an idea that this might be moving forward in the future ! i also have uni and another project to focus on ! this has always just been a chance to get better at renpy and making visual novels !

my notion page with all the ideas for the game remains online so you may look over there if you'd like spoilers :0

making a pretend title screen ! and appreciating my cove pins <3

it'd be sweet if we saw them hang out more

Possible sprites and designs :o

From left to right : derek (gb), cove reedley (oc), dandelion (oc), cove(warm) (gb), cove(cold) (gb) !!!

They are in the age between “Step 2” and “Step 3”, so they are 15-16

Why two Coves?

An idea is at the start of the game you can choose between a warm cove or cold cove (perhaps a moderate cove but not now), the type of personality that cove has can affect the way he interacts with you, other people, events, scenarios, and so on!

While you can’t change the way that cove in this game looks, I had designed his sprite as close to what the OG game determines how he looks for each step.

Fascinating posts by @riding-the-sunset-bird about the way choices impact Cove’s looks, and how the mc’s personality can impact his own, that really helped me with this! (sorry if this is bothersome)

Also check out my notion for other info

Height approximations:

derek 5’3 / reedley 5’2 / dandelion 5’4 / cove 5’8

as you may tell, i focus too much on art and not writing-

Attempts two years ago to draw up my own sprites in the OG game’s artstyle :’)
