We're hard at work ! Our writer writes as much as he can after he gets off work. Our Demo is about 1/3 written.
Our BG artist is doing a great job with their job, and our programmer has been adding everything in as things get done.
Sprites are taking me a while to get done, but hey, I have the first of 18 promo arts !
-a murder mystery game with 18 COMPLETELY UNIQUE routes-
this will be a commercial game
assets
Here are our current main screen (left) and options screen (right). (The sliders DO work, I just don't have the game on my computer to get a screencap of that.) As you can see, the main colours of this game are a navy blue, and this bright fuchsia. All of the character sprites are lined in this blue, as well. The art direction is more pop with saturated colours. The dark colours are darker, while the bright ones are brighter.
These are the characters who's sprites I've finished already. There will be 3 poses for each, character and a wide array of emotions as well. Some even will have costume changes.
We have someone working on backgrounds as well, but we don't have any finished yet.
We're very excited to be working on a story we love very much. We have a Patreon set up HERE , if you wanna support our project ! We'd really appreciate it.

Day 5: 1/6/2016
Did you ask for more sprites because I've got more sprites !
First up is one of the bussers you can hire. Her name is Charlotte and she's just here to make some pocket change. That eyepatch is probably just for show.
Second is Angel, who really just wants to say that he's professionally cooked with human meat. He's a pissbaby.
Finally here are the finished sprites for the two owners of the cafe ! They're an engaged couple.
The guy on the left's name is Maddox and he gambles for a living, which is probably why they're leaving the cafe in your (in?)capable hands, instead of running it themselves. The lovely lady on the right is Ellionna, and she's a make up artist and helps Maddox contour his face to get back into casino's he's been banned from.
They used some of their winnings to open this cafe.
Next art job is drawing the clickable characters in front of the cafe !
Day 3.75: 1/4/2016
I'm feelin pumped ヾ(☆'∀'☆) but I have to go to bed now ):
BUT I finished a few sprites for the game !
Left is Vera, the clerical worker for the company. She deals with the paperwork that goes into the donations and stuff like that ! She's pretty strict but sometimes whe you think she's on the phone, she's actually just talking to her cat, Burrito (Purrito).
Right is Fantine, she's just a waitress trying to pay off her college dues. CC was the only place she could get a job after having "Exotic Dancer" on her resume.
I work tomorrow, but once I get home it's back to work on the game
day 3: 1/4/2016
dawn of the third day !
I was up until 2am painting this background. I'm currently taking a break to work on character art...
We've got a busser, a waitress, a clerical worker, a chef, and then the three mentioned in the OP.
There's plans on having multiple characters with the same jobs that you can level up.
day 3.5: 1/4/2016
not final obviously, but just an example pic of the day to night transition we're trying to implement.
Certain clickable NPCs will be available during night, and some only during the day.
"a cutesy clicker about cannibalism."
overview
Day 3: BGs and Character Sketches
Day 3.5: Finished Vera and Fantine
Day 5: Finished Charlotte, Angel, Maddox, and Ellionna
Day 5.5: Finished Female Child Walk
Hello ! My name is Reine and I'm making a game for this jam with my S.O., Princeton (writer and BG concept artist), and friend James(programmer) !
This isn't the first game we've tried making together, but it is the first that we are actually going to finish !!! I hope.
Princeton and myself both have ~40hr/week jobs, but we hope we can do this !
synopsis
Our game is the prequel to another game we want to make, if this goes over well. It's about a little cafe in a
nondescript area of the world that serves human, instead of animal meat. (Don't worry, it's all donated legally !)
The game will start with you owning the restaurant, and trying to become a famous cafe.
gameplay
We're planning on making a clicker-type game. You'll be clicking on bystanders that walk in front of your storefront. (OR Maybe just clicking anywhere and then the random people that show up on screen will increase as you click more ? It's Undecided.) You'll gain points from that and can use them to buy different upgrades (such as different foods, and special events that will gain more customers). There will be people who come and try to make customers not want to come to your Cafe.
You will also be using the points you make to buy and level up employees.
assets
i'm making most of the art myself, with some help from Princeton (concept art for backgrounds). 
More finished sprites here
Here are some really rough sketches, but that's about how the is going to look. We wanted something
simple, and cute to foil the fact that our game is about eating people. lol.
Left character is one of the hecklers in the game, because not everyone is ok with eating human liver.
Right are the two owners of the Cafe, who give the responsibility of managing it to you.
We're doing so much research on safe cannibalism that we might be getting tracked by the feds, haha.
program
Our programmer is thinking about using GameMaker, but we're not sure if we can even make a clicker in that program.
If anyone knows a good program for this kind of game, please let me know... !
Good luck to the other jammers out there !
