Devlog for THE GREAT CAKE DELIVERY

Hello, all! This is the devlog for THE GREAT CAKE DELIVERY, our entry for this jam, as well as the TV Game Jam. Yes, I said our. I am working alongside my sister, SkittyEevee, for this game. In case you're wondering:

  • I'm working on the game itself, as well as character designs and story.
  • Skitty is working on the character sprites and character animations, as well as facesets and tilesets.
  • Usually, Team Paradox is a three-sibling band, but we don't think our brother would provide any help on this stuff.

Currently, I am thinking about just using free music on the internet, but if anyone wants to provide music for the game, please tell me or Skitty.

This is an RPG Maker MV game about a dwarf bunny and jackalope duo who, alongside their boss, has to deliver a cake to a (sorta) fancy family that lives within a castle. Their amazing adventure is as ridiculous as a sponge and a squid delivering pizza. But did those two went up to space to fight two big bad gangs that try to act like stereotypical bad boys? Of course not! Right, if I said anything else, that would be spoiling stuff.

Anyways, here are some sprites of the main three that Skitty made herself! I'll introduce these characters to you as we go. (Sorry for said sprites being very smol)

Vacil Wisteria: A short dwarf bunny with a black tuft of hair on his head. Has a thing for studying and reading books a whole lot; can be a bit prissy on certain things at certain times.

Sikandar (Sik): A big and tall jackalope with an amber mane around his neck. Loud, charismatic and boisterous, he sorta has a big bro relationship to Vacil, even though they’re not related.

Boss: A medium-sized lop-eared bunny who owns the pastry business, Bun-Buns. A stern pastry perfectionist, she always make sure Vacil and Sik doesn’t screw up the deliveries by tagging alongside them.

...Hmm? What do you mean that some of these characters look and sound a bit familiar? I have no idea what you're talking about! Er...anyways, please look forward to the next update or something.

We hope you enjoy our idea! (I always have so much fun making the sprites!)

You might be wondering why we haven't updated on our current progress and stuff. Well, we have been slowly, but surely working on the game. The spritework is going along smoothly (sorta, side-view walk-cycles are hard for Skitt)! Tilesets still need to be made, though. The game itself...well, it's still in a bit of a work in progress phase.  The script still isn't done, things like skills and items need to be done, and we still need music (I'm on the fence if we should use public domain music or not).

Anyways, it's quite clear we aren't going to be finishing this game in time. But don't worry: We'll still work on this game even after the jam is over! In fact, how about another character introduction? This time, it's about the Einz family, that (sorta) fancy family that the Bun-Buns are delivering the cake to. (Again, sorry for the sprites being so smol)

Lady Einz: A lop-eared bunny who is the owner of Castle Einz. With scarlet-red eyes and a white mane around her neck, she is as elegant and smart as she is immature and childish. Has been married to Sugu for nine years now, so she calls up the Bun-Buns to delivery her a beautiful cake to surprise him with (plus, she's been craving for a cake for a good while). No-one except for those who know her well knows what her actual name is.

Sugu: A cottontail bunny who was formerly an assassin. He now lives a pretty peaceful life with Lady Einz and their daughter. During the game, he’s out doing ‘shopping’ with Mai in order to get something special for Lady and Little Einz.

Little Einz: A young, lop-eared cottontail dwarf bunny who looks just like her mother, Lady Einz. She is as cute as a button. She and Pendra decorate the castle as they eagerly await for her father’s return. Only her father and mother knows her actual name.

Mai: A pika who is a good friend of Sugu and Lady Einz. Also a former assassin, she’s not really that much of an emotionally charged person (i.e. she doesn’t emote that much), but she still tries to show emotion through her actions. She goes out with Sugu to try and find something special for Lady Einz.

Pendra: A hare who usually wears white and blue clothes. Someone who is revered as a hero throughout the land.  Sometimes clashes with Sikandar due to either their different beliefs and ideals of what a hero should be….or which kinds of berries are the best.


...What? You're asking that question again? It's probably a coincidence that they look and sound familiar! Er...Anyways, here's a little fun fact about this world: In this world, jackalopes and hares are pretty rare people to come across. If you ever see one of these rare bunnies, then they're probably people who have had done something significant in the past. And that is all I'll say on that fact...if I said anymore, that would be spoiling!

A page will be made for this game later on. There will also be a page made for it on Gamejolt. We will make sure to give more updates on the game through it's page after the game jam, so look forward to that!

Anyways, see you soon and good luck to those who have actually completed a game in the jam! :3

Oh yeah, I should have mentioned why it took so for us to finish the game and to make an update...

School, procrastination, us getting tired, stuff happening in our lives. Simple as that.
