Literally the first scene Alpha
Hey guys!
So uhh, I'm new to all this shit but basically this is my first game, and a proof of concept for myself really. Figure I'd get the general itch.io page and all that done early to get it out of the way.
I'm just an Aussie bloke who played alot of AVN's and wanted to take a crack at it, I've always had vivid and creative ideas but my problem was execution, so I wanted to change that. It's a bit daunting though.
I'll give some more insight as well into what this game actually is as well, don't worry. The scope and idea of the game has changed alot, from a simple attemped retelling of my life into something I think is alot more unique and interesting.
I've got about 100 pages of just, content, words, dialogue, there's ALOT that went into actually feeling confident to start this, and to that extent I've still got basically nothing, so I'm winging it and just doing what's natural.
I'm probably the best at writing good dialogue, so I'm just writing the game around that lol. We'll all see how it goes.
Basically the quick run-down is an emotional game about improving your life, with romance, comedy, supernatural and psychological horror to boot. I've seen small scenes and sequences of this idea in some of my inspiration and favorite games, avid AVN players probably know the examples. But a full blown game centred around it, if I can execute it well, sounds sick to me.
I'm gonna try and channel SCP energy, stuff like SCP Overlord and Dollhouse on Youtube is the goal. You'll probably end up noticing aspects or ideas from other IP's such as Needy Streamer Overlord, Undertale, Tokyo Ghoul, Angel Beats, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Steins:Gate, Code Geass and specifically Re;Zero & Doki Doki Literature Club. These are some of my most favorite media ever and massive inspirations for this game.
As you've probably noticed, this game is literally one scene. Yeah..... I mean, I don't have much else to do so I'll be developing as fast as I can really, beats playing league of legends at 2am. Though do be aware that I'm learning Honey Select 2, Ren'py, and everything in between for the first time, and probably rather inefficiently. I have my own way of learning stuff that's quite thorough but time consuming.
I do have Branches, Endings, Characters, and general plot beats set in stone so far, as well as some fun Motifs and gameplay elements. Let's just say, there's many ways for me to channel some DDLC meta file shenanigans that should be fun, tinkering with save states, acknowledging the actual player interacting with the game. Bet you haven't seen that before ey?
I don't see any world where I abandon this game, rest assured. At worst, I'll take breaks and shelve it for a bit before coming back, but it will be completed eventually. Oh, and this will probably also take ages- like, close to a decade. That's the idea for now anyway.
I think that's all. Have some in development photos of characters and such, still a long way to go.
The dragon is Cyndra, the fairy is Nyxie, mc is Cyrus, white haired catgirl is Zephyr, black haired catgirl is Raven and the deer girl is Willow. More characters coming soon, ideally around 10 love interests.
