Hooray! It is finished. Sort of.
I wasn't able to finish all the assets (mostly the sprite expressions and some backgrounds) but it's pretty much all there. I got all the scenes I wanted and all i can hope for now is that the game actually works (which, from my last check of it, it did). I have yet to replay it in a not so half-asleep induced state because I know i'm gonna tear it apart when I play it haha! Like when i think about it, the scenes really are all over the place and it feels somewhat rushed despite it being a super, simple story. BUT OH WELL I'M JUST HAPPY I FINISHED IT. I really did a terrible job at logging in what I did for the game - mostly because no time. But to explain why the development wasn't entirely complete and why I'm not as confident in it as I want to be..... I had caught the jam early on and thought I'd have all the time in the world with only one class to deal with. But I was wrong. The class I had was pharmacology and it really ate up all my time. Besides personal stuff. By the end of April, I prioritized school above everything and it kinda ruined the development. So what was a 2 month game jam became a 2 day game jam HAHAHAHAH. Though finally, finally. Something I wrote and wanted to share is out there. I was determined to finish it and I really did finish it. That's so satisfying. I'm sad about the events surrounding the time period and that it was rushed, but I've really learned a lot from the development and am excited to take what I learned into the future! Maybe I'll make more visual novels. I'm actually thinking of making it a medium for my stories. Not the usual dating sim style but just to tell stories. ........ Though i wouldn't put it past me to make a dating sim.............. Like the inanimate object dating sim I had in mind......................................... Anyway! Before I link the game, I just realized my name on itch.io is rahmenNOODEZ AND THAT'S SUCH AN UNFORTUNATE TYPO THAT I DIDN"T SEE FOR HOW LONG AND I'M WHOLLY EMBARRASSED. Please take me seriously when the username changes to "Happydose" which I'm thinking of making my handle for my creations. SO, if you like trash, here's some hot garbage you can play right here ----------> "From the Ashes" It features two OCs I've had since high school and am super attached to. This story of theirs has also been around since I graduated high school. It is written to pander to my proud 12 year old self. Hope people enjoy it! |
