[2020.09.12] Devlog #1 - Special Thanks & Development Updates


♡   Special Thanks   ♡

A big thank you for the person who had kindly bought me my very first and second cups of coffee! ☕️ 

I'm really humbled to receive such generosity! It isn't much, but I'll be sure to put your name under Special Thanks in the game :))

And of course, I also want to thank all of the people who had been so kindly encouraging and expressing their interest in the game! I'm so glad to know actual people have enjoyed the demo. Your support is a big reason why this project is still alive, after all ♡


Okay, so, if you clicked on this post, you're probably curious about the game's development progress. Lucky for you, boy do I have things to show you! Please keep in mind however, that there are still a whole lot of things that I need to work on before I could come up with any sort of playable update of the game itself, but I think the progress for this month has been good, especially on the coding side. And that's why I want to share with everyone what has been going on behind the scene!

Gameplay

As written on the main page, I have decided to adopt Persona-style gameplay. You, as a player, will be able to decide what to do in a day-by-day basis. Each day, you'll have two free activity slots: Afternoon and Evening, where you can decide whether you want to study, or play games, or go out (given that there are no special events on that time / day). Your choice will either increase one of your stats, unlocks information about a character, or perhaps, you might just bump into someone? ;)


The whole game is most probably going to span across 30 days (that is, if you do a good job chasing the character of your choice) or more. For now, the plan is to have 1 Normal Ending + 2 Good Endings for each characters, making it a total of 7 Endings. I'm also considering adding more endings and maybe even collectibles for replayability, but that's going to be my second priority!

'Quirk' Screen

I've also drafted out the page for displaying all of the characters information, which is a key feature in progressing the game. Essentially, this screen is your 'quirk'. Don't worry if that doesn't make any sense; I'll probably make a separate post on that later on!

In this screen, you should be able to see most of the basic character information for all of the characters that appears in the game (sans a few that doesn't play a part in the game progression). For the 3 love interests, you'll be able to see details related to your relationship. While most of the functions in this page are setup, there are still some things under the coding side which I still need to work on. You'll also notice that the design and styling for some parts still leaves much to be desired.


Writing

I didn't manage to touch too much on writing side. Only two Todoroki events and a few rough drafts for Midoriya and Bakugou. I'd like to give more details, but I'm afraid I would spoil the events before you could even play the game, so I'll refrain from doing so 😅

Currently, I think I want to focus to complete the whole game's mechanics first, and then work on the writing and assets searching. We'll see how it goes!


Any feedback and comments are always appreciated. Don't be shy to ask questions or suggest things! I like to hear everyone's opinion about the game ♡

The game is cool, but I have two questions: 1- will there be a button in the game settings to change the language?  2-Game in development or abandoned?

could have more language options, for example, portuguese (br)

Probably not, unless you are a translator and have the time and will to do it.
