Due to the difficulty of how Twitter and Instagram work, we chose to post the full DevLog here

Who Are We? I'm Glad You Asked...
We are a group of developers from Brazil. We are studying a lot about game development and other factors that involve culture and how to express ourselves in a meaningful way in the independent industry worldwide. The original group is coming 100% from Salvador, Brazil. But we are looking to expand in search of new horizons!

Bark?
Barking Dogs Never Bite is a game being produced in the Godot Engine. A story driven game about a depressive detective who dreams of resting, but by a malicious coincidence of fate, he returns to work exactly in the sacred temple of rest: a SPA. The game is a mix of Visual Novel + Runner games. The whole gameplay process is a attempt to connect both gameplay styles in a more abstract and innovative way.

Day... Zero?
Let's say the project started before the "JAM" actually started. Some ideas were discussed within the group and we came up with new concepts and discussed the script and gameplay:
- We came to the conclusion that the game will be a mix of Runner and Visual Novel. Our inspirations are based heavily on Helltaker and Super Mario Run, mixing the simple gameplay with a storytelling and more focused story driven scenes;
- The script has begun to be written before the DevTober starts. We discussed a lot about what we wanted to do with the history! We decided that narrative will be focused on Non-sense + Dark suspense characteristics inspired on the Danganronpa Series and Broken Minds(Kowareta-Kokoro Series);
- Endless Run would have dynamic conversation scenes while the normal gameplay runs. But this looks hard to do now so we decided to look for a MVP;

Where 2 Arrive? What 2 Eat? Why Still Alive?
We want the game to have a balanced suspense and quite a bit of weirdness while the history continues. We are thinking about where we have arrived and where we want to arrive continuing on. We have some traumas with "non-finished-production" 'cause our latests GameJam's. The point we want to reach is the basics of game development. We are calling it a MVP(Minimum Viable Product).
