Hey all. If anyone else wants to share their ideas or what they have going on, feel free to. I just wanted to share my idea (plus have a place to post updates since I haven't fully settled on a title, yet)
I possibly could just work on the game I did for 2016 (that feels so long ago now) which I may still since it's had a lot changed since then, but I doubt I'll complete it in that time. Instead, what I plan on really focusing on is a crafting/farming game with more of a friendship theme than romance (though I'm sure people could read romance into it, anyway)
I'm already planning on only putting in 2 guys (not counting the player) for now, and I'm leaning towards making it mostly quest based, with each guy having different likes and dislikes (If I have time I may even add a way for the player to choose theirs at the start of the game along with naming the character)
I haven't decided on whether I'll be mapping out a town or just leaving it as a sort of visual novel style (on my todo list I have it that I will map it out, though I think that's more as long as the framework for everything comes together, Visual novel would be slightly easier with such a small scope, though I also want to have a shop the player can access)
I'm leaning towards not having combat, though if there is it'll probably be fairly simple; either a front view system or an ABS.
I'm going with using a fairly simplistic pixel art style for the graphics (I'm used to using RPG Maker, and I thought the DS/Fez packs would work fairly well for this. I may edit the character sprites to be just a bit taller, though) I did mess with them a bit, though didn't edit anything yet. I haven't settled on any of the characters, and may just edit them myself.
Just to be clear, I'm not asking for help (don't really do well in teams, not really sure why) Though, I do have some UIs I've done if that's useful to anyone. I also have a mic (unfortunately I'm female, though I'm about in a soprano range so I could possibly sound like a young male) Unfortunately, I don't have any recording with my current mic, but I do have a Casting Call Club profile.
