| Sarcastic yeah is sarcastic. And hey, new look! |
TWO months of hiatus, and i'm back... with ZERO progress. Woo!
Frankly speaking, i was caught up with life, i guess. Changed jobs (again) recently and the transition from WFH to the dedicated office (despite the RMCO) was a daunting task. So, goodbye 3 hours of extra sleep _(:3/
Anyways, just a quick update to inform that i'm not dead. However, this project kinda is though (KEKW). Renewed motivation is scarce, i must say.
The 2 months i spent playing games during my downtime, my internal mental struggles, multiple outside factors/suggestions (for the sake of inspiration of course)... i came to a temporary resolution to go all out and make it into a RPG-esque VN series. It is a big dream no doubt, but i really can't imagine to draw everything all the way through.
If you guys didn't know, i intend to create a story revolving my three OCs, AhWen, Angie, and Devin. Premise is about AhWen, a 20-something college student/ college dropout/ blue-collar modern slave navigating the grey morals of modern society, with his 2 buddies, Angie and Devin.

Angie, an innocent, somewhat ditzy angel who was let-off from Heaven. It was due to her speaking out of terms by accident. Her blissful innocence is the last defining traits she ever has. |
 |
Devin, a devil who quit Hell on his own terms and agendas. His favours to dominate the world on his own one day, by hook or by crook. A devil with standards. A true devil, you might say. |
Well, that's the jist of it.
Which explains why i kinda loathe to draw everything in a manga format. A good senpai of mine have me a final push/ realised that rather doing it conventionally (referring to the manga format in this case), why not utilising the knowledge i have thus far? Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. HELL. YES. Why i didn't think of that? Hence the decision for the transition.
Build ver0.0 of "Roommate" is still in the works. But i might favour an overhaul (or at least expecting a major change) based on mentioned resolute for the transition. The 2-month-pause was really a breather for me to think things through imo.
Onto the updates.

This section is where i post all change log of the development.
Development's still bare, albeit a prototype room to walk around in.
Build ver0.0:

Misc/ Note to self
This section is where i write all the reminders, to do stuff, or just stuff to reflect in each update.
Hopefully this is the last time being an ass and abandon the projects as a whole. One of my wishes is to see a development that i can see through till the end.
While thinking of making the game a full-fledged VN, i thought of implementing a morality system, different story routes and endings, and file manipulation (like DDLC, but more of a Easter egg than an integral part of the story.
Then there are iffy ideas like a time travel mechanic into the game, meta-commentary or meta-gameplays, and file-save disruption when hacking or cheating is detected in the game.
These are only plans on paper, in which i have no confidence whatsoever in implementing it, also had concerns whether if said mechanics jive well with the existing game mechanics, such as character-switching and camera-switching mechanics.
Expect some well-thought out game design elements in the next update.
Ciao.
