Making some subtle changes on the right to accommodate another room, and some shelving for towels. Hmm.. 🤔
Been doing a lot of art direction but will move over towards finishing the general VN programming and work on the phone UI.
Cheers!

Janice's room is finished! We'll be moving onto the upstairs hallway for background art. Meanwhile our writers and I have finished the rough draft for Janice entire story-line. We might trim up pieces and alter but you can take a look at everything on Discord as a Creator, Producer or VIP Patron :)
Programming wise we're almost up and running on the VN engine part, so stay tuned to see how that will animate and look!

As its a custom engine, we have many different ways we can take the text layout. I decided for a less is more by using a gradient and visual tag the same as the map layout. The font is a nice readable comic style, but you'll have the option to change it to something plain like arial or a sans if you want. Buttons are Akcler font which matchest the Map GUI.

Hey! We got a new writer PaleGrate on Reddit, AKA cleansweepclear on Discord. Excitied to work with him in getting in Dialogue and working on the story behind the characters!
I'm currently working on getting in some temp backgrounds for the room and dummy text to display. Looking at alternate text box graphics to make.
Working with our background artist to tweak Janice's room, make it fit her personality!

Thanks sooo much to all our new patreons! I'm impressed with what we've done in just February, but its not over yet! I'll be looking to get the map build in our Creator & Producer's hands before the month is over.
We've got a writer who messaged me interested in volunteering that i'll be checking out. If you have any skills you'd like to offer to the project, feel free to get in our Discord https://discord.gg/BWxkjHz...

Thanks new patrons! Just wanted to spread the love and give you some exclusive sketches to help tie you over! She is a "roommate" of yours, a bit older than you and also has quite the attitude.. Neon socks, bra and plenty of peircings.

Cheers!

She's a very motherly figure in our protagonists life ;)
Of course in the final game you'll be able to specify the pronouns used, so she doesn't have to be the landlady, she can be whoever you want!
Excited to show off the shaders, showing how we can change skin, hair and eye colors live in game!

Been working on the GUI, It's about done. I settled for a nice outline shadow effect for most of the buttons. Should be pretty quick to implement and then I can showcase the daytime night time effects! Woo!

I actually have in cars, ocean waves, trees waving, proper shadows and all map necessities! I'll make a video soon!
Right now I wanted to play around with the lights, I think I may do a light layer that goes over the shaders for those nice bright city lights!

Oooo I'm actually excited to start bringing this to life. It's gonna be fairly easy to get everything in and working. The only thing that might take some time is getting the camera perfect. It needs to scroll easily, use arrow keys, edge of screen, all those things need to be taken into account.
We'll also need a night mode, but I'll have some shaders to help!

We'll be using VNgen for our development process moving forward. It was between Unity + NaniNovel and Game Maker Studio 2 + VNgen. Ultimately I'm moving forward with VNgen solely because I have more experience with GMS2 and will move a lot faster with development.
For now, let's get that map into the engine!

Experimented with colors, I like the blue into the pink I actually think it says a lot about the mood for the game being upbeat, fun and adventurous! The sparkles add that cheeky shine and high polish.

Phew! Lot's of detail on the world map. I maybe should have held back a little bit where the houses are, but this is actually just the design. When this hits then engine, I can do some tweaking.
You can click the map, scroll to zoom in!
Really excited about developing this, the cloud shadows will move, trees will sway, cars on the streets, ocean waves and SFX and music to boast! I don't mind spending time on this as the map is a screen that will be visited often. Also artist is wo...
