Hi! I thought I’d make a short post to actually tell what the game is about!
The story: Seven friends have just graduated upper secondary school, and before all going their different ways, they decided to rent a cottage and celebrate Finnish Midsummer together. And uhh… Without spoiling too much, things happen and everyone might not make it out alive.
The gameplay: The game is a horror-adventure game, where you get to explore the island, talk with characters, collect items and solve puzzles. You get to play as multiple different characters. I’d like to have some choices and options there too, but I’m not sure how well those would work, since right now the story is quite linear. I’m also playing with the thought of multiple endings, maybe a normal ending and a true ending?
I’m making the game on RPG Maker MV. I looked into the newest engine MZ, but didn’t see a reason to change, as there is not that many new useful features for me.
I’m almost done designing the character sprites. Only one character left!
I’ve also started sketching out the maps on RPG Maker. This way I will know sizes of the areas and buildings before I draw the final map. I’m still planning what kind of style I will use for the maps. Pixel style obviously, but otherwise I still need to test things out,. Here is the sketch of the sauna by the lake:
Reminder that I have a separate blog for my new game “Gone Tomorrow”
As I do not have enough things to do in my life, I decided to start a new rpg maker horror game project. I made a separate blog for it so check it out!
The game is called Gone Tomorrow, and it is about seven teens that rent a summer cottage for themselves for midsummer, and as we all know, that always ends up well.
I started this as a comfort project and it’s in VERY early stages. I plan to give behind the scenes stuff, wips, updates etc, so follow if you’re interested. Tomorrow onwards (June 15th 21) I shall publish character introductions every day.
