Development of Dokidoki Sugary Madness has officially started.
This project is currently in early development, and there is no playable build available yet.
This devlog is created to share the current progress, development focus, and to be transparent with everyone who is interested in supporting the project.
About the Game
Dokidoki Sugary Madness is a story-driven pixel art anime-style game.
The visual presentation is designed to feel like watching an anime, featuring expressive pixel art characters, animations, and emotional storytelling.
The game is driven by player choices.
Decisions made throughout the story will affect character relationships, story routes, and outcomes, allowing players to experience different narrative results.
The main focus of the game is immersion, atmosphere, and story rather than fast-paced gameplay.
Current Development Status
At this stage, development is focused mainly on assets and visual production.
- Core gameplay logic and systems using Unreal Engine Blueprints are approximately 20% complete
- Visual asset production has just started
- Current focus is on drawing character assets and animations
- Initial development will focus on two main female characters and one male protagonist
- Character sprites, expressions, and animations are being hand-drawn in pixel art style
- Visual style and animation flow are being refined to create an anime-like experience
Because the game relies heavily on visuals and animation, a significant portion of development time is currently dedicated to drawing and asset creation.
There is no demo or playable build available yet.
Reason for Funding
This project is set as $0 or donate.
I am fully committed to creating Dokidoki Sugary Madness and developing it with care and intention.
Donations will directly support art creation, animation work, and development time, helping ensure consistent progress and higher-quality visuals.
Since all visual assets are hand-drawn, support helps reduce development strain and allows me to focus on polish and storytelling.
Donations are completely optional, but any support is deeply appreciated and directly contributes to the development of the game.
What’s Next
Planned next steps include:
- Completing initial character artwork for the two female characters and the male protagonist
- Creating base animations and expressions
- Continuing asset production
- Integrating visuals into existing gameplay systems
- Expanding the story structure alongside visual development
Future updates will be shared through devlogs as development continues.
If you have any questions or would like to know more about the project, feel free to leave a comment.
I’ll be happy to answer and clarify anything.
Thank you for your interest and support.
