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 :)
