ignore the shitty camera quality but he's home 🫶🫶🫶 im so excited to put him on my fridge
Concept art for yandere, Kage. Just messy marker sketches for now
You guys I am actually tearing up rn, it feels like someone is giving my heart a tight hug ;_; thank you everyone for donating and believing in me, I'm gonna try my best to make this game awesome for everyone
And to the people who made especially chunky donations, you're definitely on my list for if I am able to do some kind of extra special reward in the future it will 100% apply retroactively
omg it looks so good.... adding weather mechanics is super cool! does the weather affect anything/trigger any specific scene between the player and kage?
Thank you, the season changes of course do and I'm still brainstorming how to tie the weather into events in the game. Since it's randomized I can't do anything that would be drastically significant to the story. But I can work in something fun for that for sure, some smaller scenes or changes that give an opportunity for stat altering encounters
Working on the Social Media menu for the love interests. As you learn more about each of them, their "Likes" and "Dislikes" sections will fill. Keep track of their stats here as well. (Shown stats are for display purposes only, not the real stats, still working on those).
Relationship status will change of course depending on whether or not you progress far along enough on that love interest's route. Otherwise they will all read "Single," except for your yandere, who will read "It's Complicated," because of course it is...
Reminder to take a break and drink some water!
p.s your working on the game rather quickly from what I’ve seen with developers it can take months / years to get to the point you’ve shown us and your doing amazing! Be careful of getting burnt out tho!
Oh wow ty :> I feel like I still have so far to go, like I'm still in the phase of laying the foundation for the game I guess, getting all the menus set up and working through mechanics, making maps, adding assets...
I've done a bit of writing the story into the game, but I decided to backpedal a bit with that progress as I feel there are likely more efficient ways to do certain things in the story and just within the engine, and I'll know those methods if I get the other parts set up first y'know?
But once that part is all done I can really just focus more on writing and drawing, and any future installments should theoretically take less time than the initial release since the framework will already be there.
As far as burnout, for sure! It probably doesn't seem like it but I do try to take time for myself too. It was finally nice outside today so I took a nice long motorcycle ride, since my lungs haven't recovered enough yet from being sick for a bicycle ride. And of course I took breaks to just wander around and enjoy the sunlight 🤍
I said I wasn't gonna do this, but after all the trouble of adding a bunch of outfit options into the character creation, it seemed like a waste to not be able to change your outfit after creating your character.
So now you can! Honestly, the bulk of the work is just getting all the outfits in; making it so you can change them turned out to be easier than I had thought. This applies to accessories and glasses too. Since making this video I've added all the items you can equip into the game, though I still have to make character portrait assets for several of them, which should be pretty easy since the clothes are just shoulder-up shots, and then some simple accessories.
So you can collect clothes and change them throughout the game. And I added more hairstyle options too, like a single braid (besides the double braids that were already there), wavy hair, and some other options.
I'm still debating whether or not to make the clothes mechanically significant in some way or just leave them as cosmetic only. Like should they provide some kind of stat boost while wearing them? The stats are supposed to represent your character's personality, so I'm not sure. But then, clothing choices can also be a reflection of one's personality, so maybe that should be a thing...? The personality traits are "the big 5" though, and I'm not sure what clothes read as "agreeable" vs "openness" or "extroversion" etc.
If anyone has any thoughts on that lmk
Edit: also not sure how Kage's birthday got messed up in this video but he's not a Capricorn, he's a Sagitterrorist ;p so I'll have to go in and fix that
My 2nd Kage fan art 🩶 submitted off Tumblr but the art is by Voobee
Made hoodie and tank top versions of Kage's chibi sprites. The face set next to that is for Koyomi, childhood friend of the MC. She'll be introducing the player to the various "love interests" (aka Kage rivals)
Finishing up the Yurei intro today too. Will try to work on a few other things, maybe some sprite art or something
