hi :) and ha-ha well about that... the engine I was using 'Visual Novel Maker' completely shat itself on me and didn't let me share my ready to go Demo. So, I've had to start from scratch. Though... it's going well! I'm using Ren'Py now and I find it a lot better :D and thank you. Since, it's not playable yet, I have posted the full Demo on my YT, however the new one is going to have a few little changes. And thank you! I mean yeah, it's fun to be able to choose to be evil, but I feel it doesn't really fit for the story I'm going for. The endings and some parts of the game are of course different based on choices, but the choices you make don't necessarily make you evil... because everyone is trapped, forced to kill each other and slowly losing their mind... I mean, it would be kind of hard to make the 'right' choices when in that state. and ooh! tysm ^_^ I'll give those a try when I'm closer :D enjoy your yanderee

No problem! We all get busy - it's just life... XD
And yeah! It has updated... like a lot! I'm actually really confident with how my Demo is looking now, and it definitely is a lot better than the piece of crap I had before XD
And thank you! I've worked hard using the correct music, sound effects, and writing and I've even added a few more CG'S. And there's more of the Antagonist too, and right before the Demo ends the player gets to see more of him / his true nature. I've also added a mini 'Warm - up game' (As Akira calls it XD) Theres a lot more action in this Demo, not just endless talking and dialogue. And also, Ciara (the protagonist) isn't as dumb in this new Demo XD and the players can make different choices during, one that affects the ending, and a few that affect the story.
And I'm looking forward to the full game too! It's not going to be done until mid - next year, but It's only because I've got a lot of polishing and branching paths to do + all the CG'S and everything else as I'm solo developing this.
And yeah, in terms of the choices it's not going to be 'You chose this choice, so now your evil'. It's ' You chose this choice so now you must bear the consequences...'
And yeah, the whole game developing thing is definitely getting less scary as I keep working on it. I feel more confident now and the Ideas just keep flowing. I've always loved drawing and editing, writing was never my strong point, but I've been learning and teaching myself and I'm much better now.
The new and updated Demo will be launched in a few days!! I'll put it on here and on steam. It's soooo close, I've just to do some polishing and then it will be ready! It should be on here by late tomorrow (Could be earlier).
And thank you for your ongoing support, Raven! Really appreciate it.
Without you, I'd probably still have those boring bits in there. Feedback is so important and its helped so so much! I really hope more people play my Demo once I upload it too :))
Hiii Raven!
Sorry for the extremely late reply, I didn't even notice you responded... lol.
Anyway, it's been a while, and I've gotten through a lot of my game now! I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to get rid of the introduction part all together as in all honesty (it is extremely boring) and not needed as you will get to know and have intimate moments with all the characters later on. So far there has been three deaths~ so I'm really getting there! I'm also going to start my game off with an action, like Ciara wakes up tied up and has to quicky find a way out, so I think that will make it a little more exciting to start it off!
And yeah :( I'm sorry. I won't spoil too much of the backstory between Ciara and Akira, but there is a bit of romance there! Just probs not the type you're expecting or wanting ^_^. And oh! Don't worry, I definitely have some ideas planned for the end. Since this is a multiple endings game, there's going to be many endings depending on certain choices and relationships with the other players. At the start there is also going to be only TWO choices that the players HAVE to choose. It's going to be 'Would you kill to survive?' and its either a yes, or a no. So, I'm thinking of making some cruel twisted endings based on which answer the player decides to choose too. Not to spoil too much, but if the player chooses 'Yes', she will be forced to kill someone (VERY close to her) and may be forced to stay with Akira? Still coming up with the ideas but there is plenty! Just got to work on implementing them :O
And for how the game goes, basically the start is pretty slow paced, it's basically them exploring the area and slowly getting closer, then the first game begins. Which is the Card killing game. So, after that a player dies, then the games pick up their pace a lot faster. Hint* the next game involves one gun* and then the next one is quite personal...
So, yea! It's a long journey, but I've got so many ideas! It's just writing them and putting them all into the game that's the hardest part. But! My game is starting to look pretty good! I'd say I'm almost halfway there, then I've got to go through and do all the final editing (Boring -_-) but ah well! it will be SOOO worth it in the end!
And yeah! Theres going to be a lot of, 'Who do I trust?' and 'What do I do?' types of situations, and also, I'm going to try and add a lot of choices so I can really make my game a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' type game. Good choices = somewhat good ending (Still psychologically damaging, but somewhat good) Bad choices = Bad endings... I won't say any more. C:
But thank you so much for taking your time to go through this for me. You have absolutely made my day, and I appreciate you so much. :) With this being my first game, it is very scary, and I always have doubts about it not being good enough, but really in reality, I can make it happen if I really put my mind to it. :D
I don't even really care if I don't make money out of it XD I just want to tell everyone, 'I LAUNCHED MY FIRST GAME!' As it's always been my biggest dream since I was a kid...
But I reckon it's going to be a great game! It may take me a long time, but I'll get there!
Also, if you want to stay updated my games TikTok Account is tjs_productions. I don't post heaps on there, but I do occasionally :D
Again, thank you for all of this. You have helped me out alot :3 Might even put you in the credits at the end of my game for all the help... lol.
But oof... this reply is so long. Have a lovely day/ night, and also, once I make an updated Demo. I'll add it on here :)
Hi Raven! Thank you so much for playing through my Demo! Sorry that your experience with it wasn’t that good. To help me, what’s boring about it? Is it because it doesn’t get into the nitty gritty straight away, or did you just not enjoy that part?
Also about the villain, I’m glad you like him! I’ve had heaps of others saying they like him too! So atleast I’m pretty proud of myself for creating a good villain. The lore with the villain and the protag goes deeper than just the game itself, but there won’t be much romance between them because obviously, Ciara hates him because he is not a good person. But there is small amounts of romance between them mostly sided to Akira.
Sorry you don’t like the ending, remember it’s just the Demo. And it’s in really early stages. I just wanted to make Ciara be the one I to get stabbed because if there were other choices it would make a lot of work for me. Or maybe I will just get rid of the whole thing, idk?
im currently up to writing and creating a part where they are in the first killing game and someone’s gonna die soon (it’s basically a card killing game where people hav various roles) so yeah, there’s a lot more to add!
thank you very much for your honest review though, I really appreciate it!! Have a lovely day!
