Back to the Past (Visual Novel in Development)

I've just started on a visual novel (still very new to making VN games), and I thought people might enjoy this one, since it plays largely on 80s nostalgia. I have a very early demo out, just shows the intro scene of the game and such, but I'm planning to work very hard on the completed project, and I still have a lot of drawing to do for it.

I would be really grateful to get a bit of feedback on the demo. It fits well for anyone who likes visual novel games with a female MC, wherein friendship and romance options impact the story, although there's a bit of the 80s crime genre present in the game as well. 

There are kinks in this, but I'll polish it up best I can as I work on the rest. Here is the demo if anyone is interested; Back to the Past (Demo)

And thank you so much. More updates to come, hopefully soon.

EDIT; the game's done now, and (due to the subtle horror elements that emerge in the story), I think it would be a good thing to play for anyone looking for something to play on Halloween. Enjoy!




Doing more work on this today. Victor doesn't like his neighbor. Lol



There's only one solid thing determined about the player in this game, and that is appearance. But, little moments like this allow you to invent her/your backstory as you go along, and Victor has special personal-relatability responses for each one. These choices are fun to make.

Somebody grumpy today.

The demo is getting an update today. Instead of just the intro scene, I'm gonna have the whole beginning as a demo like a normal person :)

Full version of the demo is now out. Enjoy! Back to the Past: Full Demo

Guess who hates being on skates.



Cutie pie.


I've worked out some of the kinks that exist in the demo, although yall won't see that until the full game is released...

However, I've also made a nice little trailer for the game now. Enjoy!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in a weird 1980s love triangle? Wonder no more. Lol.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!


Taking pics together


I had a setback when my laptop died... lost some work I did. But I'm still workin on this.

All right... I managed to find backups of all my artwork and soundbites, but the project in Tyranobuilder got corrupted, so I have to recreate the game. Still, it's not as bad as it could have been. If I lost all the artwork, I probably would've given up on it.

Anyhow... I'm recreating and improving things now, and the demo has been updated, so here ya go! Back to the Past (Demo)

Haven't updated here in a while because most of the artwork and screenshots contain spoilers now. Lol

Wellp, I ended up finishing this game today. It will be up soon. Stay tuned.

And the game is finally DONE. Enjoy! Back to the Past (Full Game)

Hurricane wiped out a lot of my internet time, but Back to the Past is done, yall, and me and my family narrowly had a bunch of lucky breaks here in western NC. Ciao

Bump. If anyone is looking for something to play on Halloween, this game would be good for it. :)
