#First devlog #launch
Hello! My friends call me Ares and I'm the developer of this little fangame.
My intentions with this post are to make known a little about what I am working on, my plans with this project, when will it come out and basically what to expect about it.
And yes, the game will be free... just if you're wondering.
We will follow the story of Johnny Paddle; a private investigator who is tasked with recovering the car that Andrew and Ashley stole took at the middle of episode 2. Turns out, this job is going to take him down a rabbit hole where he didn't expect to find himself in.
There will be multiple endings and each decision will affect the story directly (yeah, that kind of game).
Well, the prologue of the story is more or less halfway done. My idea is to release it at the middle of next month (January 2024). I can't really estimate a clear duration of this first release, but it will be long enough to introduce the character of Johnny and set the tone for the story it is trying to tell.
And for the last point, the hard truth... I'm doing this project all alone at the moment. Sadly, I'm lacking of the necessary knowledge to draw and I am not in the economic situation to hire an artist to make the sprites for me. So yeah... I had to resort to the help of an AI to carry out some of them.
This, however, is just a momentary solution. I'm looking forwards to replace those images with actual sprites that could resemble the style of the project. It's not easy, it's not simple nor fast... but that won't stop me!
Off course, any kind of help you want to offer is welcome. As said, I can't offer a monetary remuneration, and for the same reason nobody is forced to do so.
