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
