This is yet another devlog that is quite unlike other ones I've made.
It'll sound crazy, I know... I'm very confused by myself, too, but...
ANOTHER jam started recently, so now I'm making 2 games at the same time?!??!!?!
Now... this wasn't a jam I had planned to participate in. I planned to do SuNoFes and then dedicate the rest of my time to other projects I like (or need to be) fiddling with.
So why am I doing something I didn't intend to do?
Because! For the first time ever, someone came to me about making a game with them <3
That someone is Cranberry Shortcake (or Hikarupii)!!!
This will be the first game I've ever worked on where I'm not the one designing the game! I'm going to be making most of the assets, but it's for a story that I didn't come up with!!
It's a very exciting idea. Which is why, against all reason, I couldn't bare to pass on something so amazing.
Even this devlog you're reading right now is a collaborative effort!!
That's the name of the game!!! The game jam is about spooky people, so the game will be about spooky people!
Ryland, our protagonist, is an ordinary villager of Northwood, a snowy town with a religious superstition. Every year, they sacrifice a villager to satisfy the terrifying Arctic Beast, the monster causing the devastating blizzards they suffer from.
Despite their best efforts, the blizzards never stop happening. This year, Ryland is the one chosen as the sacrifice. Cast away, what will happen to him in the devastating blizzard? Is it all over for him?
(Well he's the main character so we all know he probably lives but uhhhhhhh)
You can find out, once Wintertide Devotion is made!!
Just like the other game I'm working on right now, you can expect weekly updates!
I will finish the game. I'm aiming for a September-October release frame. If things get really rough, maybe even early November.
I'd like to make the release date less vague, but the last thing I want to do is promise something I can't do. Though, I unintentionally did that already...
As always, I'm gonna do my best and we'll see where that gets us.
Thank you very much for reading my devlog. I shall now use 120% of my brain for the next 1,440 hours.
Bye-Bye~! <3
