Heya! Bacon here.
For this jam, our team's gunning for a neo-noir VN. I'm the writer, working together with Kamaloba as all-around artist, skarn as programmer and Tobin Reece as resident sound hound. Our previous programmer, olive, was in charge of the customized sprite script and the shooting minigame.
The game's got smooth-talkin' gangsters, dirty cops, butch futch fatales, some angsty themes and the whole black and white aesthetic (ok, there are pops of color too).
A fair warning: given the nature of the story, there will be character death. I'm writing this as true to noir as possible.
Quick plot summary:
A down and out extortionist goes through a personal five day hell after her brother's murder. Love interests are a dirty cop and her gangster Boss.
As of Day 9, we've got around 10k worth of dialogue, a minigame in the works, six tracks for the game, as well as a couple art assets (some BG, GUI, and 3 default sprites).
Here's a sample screen of what we've got so far.
