Development thread

Post by jack1974 »

This is another game I started WAYYY back in 2011... but is not finished yet :mrgreen:
Basically think something like Always Remember Me, but with a mystery to solve. It is not horror, but definitely not light comedy. Think something like "Murder She Wrote" setting, where bad stuff happens but no gore/blood etc!

I made several blog posts about it in the past, showing the characters and talking a bit about the story:
blog/2012/06/lets-talk-about-nicole/
blog/2012/06/nicoles-cast-jeff-ryan/
blog/2012/06/nicoles-cast-kurt-madry/
blog/2012/07/nicoles-cast-darren-beville/

note that after talking with users in forums we decided to have separated otome/yuri version like many of my other games, so beside Chandra, 3 more girls will be added to the available characters to date. The first new one is Bethany:

Also ignore the text excerpt in the blog since after talking with some of the new writer we decided to review the whole script to have a better final result. I got all the backgrounds for the game, and all the boys (the girls should be finished soon) so all I'm waiting for is the writing! Which means that hopefully this game could be out soon :)

This is awesome news, thank you so much Jack for making a yuri version too! I'm so excited for it :mrgreen:

And Bethany looks really cute, can't wait to see other girls :)

I wanted to link that thread but I can't find it anymore :lol: but basically for some "old" games that I started in 2010-11 I put a single yuri option in what it is a otome game, and I realized only later that was an idiot move, because people who like otome usually don't play yuri and vice versa (and in particular people who like ONLY GxG would be pissed to buy a game just for ONE romance option!).
So in the games, where is possible, I'm trying to fix it. For Amber I am not sure yet, but for Nicole definitely possible :)

The other finished girl is Chandra (your roommate in the game):

Yes but I want to wait until the game is in a more advanced state, otherwise happens like with the boys... I have talked about them and then the game will be out maybe 1 year later! :lol:

Yes in the story she cuts the hair, since takes place in a longer time span than Always Remember Me :)

I'll do like Spirited Heart or the recent Heileen 3: everything in one single download, and you can choose what to "unlock", either otome/yuri only or both :)
