#Game Progress

[arcanusarchieves-if]

How far into the game are you? Will the demo be released soon?

The outline of the entire game has been completed.

As for the demo, it will be released once I finish both the prologue and chapter one. I’m currently about 90% done on the written portion of the prologue and will start coding in a few days!

Sometimes you gotta sketch the boys to improve the mood of the day. These are the two romanceable characters in a Visual Novel I'm working on "The Celestial Waltz", Silva and Kharis! I'm so hyped about this game y'all.

Days 21-23 of coding everyday for a year. I've been busy y'all.

Our game for the global game jam is a funny game where the player must do well at the shooter mini game, and engage with their live stream audience. The audience will sling jokes, insults, or praise depending on your performance/engagement.

So on day 21 I spent most of the day on making a game design document, and planning the game jam game with my team. Day 22 I started some architecture and technical design document to help the rest of the devs go in the direction we are supposed to go. Day 23 I started working on UI and starting the chat functionality. My husband is working on the shooter mini game.

Tomorrow I'll be making the chat functionality more.

Today's update, i guess? This time, raph's lab and room as attention yankers

[Info to raph's bedroom: im not sure i want to keep the trans and bi flag? The bi- maybe?]

Today was successful and hella exhausting.

I got most rooms added and at least semi assembled? Tho the only room that's done is Nastya's, which really doesn't surprise me. (im tempted to add a trans flag to Nastya's room. Feedback on that?)

My playtester went through the map today, too!

Letting me fix bugs and adjust some design elements to hopefully avoid confusion.

Now if you'll excuse. I will be quitting for today and maybe take a break tomorrow, but I'll see about that tomorrow. Have a neat day♡

So, uhh. I may have just postponed my Storyshift take for a while, and began working on something else for fun. Would love some opinions on it so far! All of these things are for the same project (and I might need a bit of help with it sometime in the future, since I do kinda wanna make something with it) First one is a player character, or YOU. Second one is a bunch of backgrounds (one shop, 5 battle). Those are for main battles with the final part. Jartist!! So far he has a full rotation and walk animations. Still have much more to work on.

It's happening, bitches.

[warverse]

So, there’s some bad news.  As expected- the game file fucked itself over. I lost some files in their transfer and therefore the game so far is just gone. I just lost it all XD So I don’t think I’ll be able to complete it by the end of this year with Christmas and other events coming up (The end of the year being much busier)  So here is what was remaining. I of course plan to continue Warverse but just in another medium that is reliable to me! Next year will be much more animations, comics and I will also be mostly working on @feed-the-machine my analog horror series!

Sorry that I ended up texting the lyrics of Dawn's Melted song. I was just so angry about how complicated Adult Human Beings have made the world turn out to be again.

Do or Die is in the testing phase!!!

[vennyaki]

SO! The past few weeks, I’ve been working on a cutscene system. Just today, I finished up the bulk of it and I managed to make the short little scene above!

(note: this scene won’t be in the final game, it’s purely for testing) 

It’s simple and still has areas of improvement, but I’m so excited with how things are shaping up. A good friend of mine is helping to review the story to make sure things flow correctly, and that’s going well so far. Speaking of which, opening the game’s main design and storyboard document lags my entire computer because it’s at 277 pages and it’ll only continue to grow. I also refuse to make a new document-

Aside from my poor document management skills, my pixel art abilities are improving, the main foundations of the game are all mostly in... Development is going well!

I'm about 29 hours into Frontiers. (I rage quit over one of the Koco challenges a few weeks ago.) Sonic is looking sooo tired it's hurting my heart to make him keep going.

[luv-drama]

I just wanted to tell someone my update with genshin. building kazuha is tough but I can finally beat his boss by myself. I wanted to finally level up a hydro character but I was to scared to fight oceanid but I literally just beat it on my first try (like literally today). Ever since I started learning how to properly farm artifacts it’s been so much better. My next goal is to beat the ruin serpent.

Just a quick update, and I'll add a picture of jonnys room to yoink yer attention♡

Making the rooms and halls has been going pretty smoothly!! I added the extra walls to the edges of the rooms for an easier understanding of how big the room is and where the hell you can actually go. I also have enough maps now that i can start connecting them. Once the whole ship is mapped out, to my liking, and has been playtested by my cool playtester(hi if ya read this), i can actually start the whole story aspect of this game!!

I would suggest sending me an ask now of ideas on what you'd want to see in the game as Easter eggs?

Which can include but is not limited to:

Artwork (only if it's by you or has been approved to be used by the creator)

Favorite references to mec shows

Designs of things?

Dialog that a mech will randomly say

Again, it can include, but is not limited to.

Been playing Stardew Valley for the first time and I'm pretty sure it is not intended progression to reach year 2 without hitting floor 80 of the mines. This also means I have no sprinklers or machines and thus don't grow crops or make things, so I'm constantly broke but it's a vibe y'know?

[honeybeegames]

Hi. Everything's all right? Is the project still alive?

hi!

the project is still alive, but it’s taken a back burner in my life just because… i have more important things going on? i’m not sure if that’s the right wording, but yeah. i’ve just been busy.

and also realized this was a MASSIVE project to take on for two people with little to no coding experience, lol.

i moved states, my dog got sick, we got a house, i got sick, my dad got COVID, i started working. the usual.

i’m thinking about just going ahead and posting a demo of what we currently have for our one year on this blog? it’s not a lot, just the prologue and part of chapter one, but i think it’d be fun. if anyone’s around and still interested!

i think my sister and i will start with a smaller game for practice, because we desperately need it, haha. thanks for your patience! it’s also very appreciated.

actually working on something

I FINALLY STARTED MAKING SOMETHING

I've been seriously working on my drawing skills so I'd be actually proud of it to post it here but before that I thought I will be sharing here the project I've been working on recently.

It's a game I want to make in RPG Maker 2003 (actually not the greatest choice because I realized there are some things I wanted to implement which are not possible in this version but it's the only rpg maker I own) I roughly have whole plot scripted, character concepts and I started working on chipsets which is definitely the hardest part for me since I never did pixel art.

I wanted to make a game for a really long time but I couldn't think of a plot that would be original and interesting enough and I just randomly came up with it while replaying corpse party lmao despite this they're not very similar, pretty much the only thing my concept has to corpse party is that they're both set in school, and they're horrors. Another inspiration for it was a korean movie series Whispering Corridors, again it's a very loose inspiration and I mostly has to do with atmosphere, and setting.

I'm not sure if I'm going to make it accessible anywhere for wider audience but in case I do I don't want to spoil it too much so to keep it brief. It's late 90s Japan MC lives in an isolated by woods and mountains rural town where she goes to with her childhood friend who is very interested in occultism, which MC is rather scptic about. Lately strange things started happening at said school and people start dying mysteriosly.

here's some "concept" pictures I used as inspiration for the setting and general atmosphere !
