Fast forward to two days ago, I find Renpy and suddenly everything is right in front of me and now I'm sketching out CGs and writing a script for a project that is tentatively called I Will Hold Your Hand.
The game will play out like a dating sim, in that you select what tasks you will focus on each day, and you also get opportunities to select one of the bachelors to help you. Survival isn't enough however, as the clock could very well be ticking down to an even greater cataclysm. Could all the answers be hidden in the secret underground facilities? (highly probable)
The theme isn't very gritty, and it might get dark, but not too dark. I guess my only real goal is to make the characters loveable enough that they could be considered sexy. I want to make something sexy. Sexy to girls. (if it gets far enough I might end up moving to the H boards with this.)
I don't want to run out of steam before I finish this because I really like how it's developing, which is why I need positive reinforcement from strangers. Tell me how great my crap is, and/or give me really helpful advice. My goal is to make something good enough to sell and also something that ladies think is hawt.. which is why I need lady opinions.
Script- intro 90% done, meat of the project maybe 5%
Actual coding- Still figuring it out as I go, but I got the meat of the coding prettymuch done! Now to get back to writing!
Sprites- redid the first set, still got a bunch of expressions and such to make.
BG art- 3 major ones done sofar
CG art- a few in progress a few done!
Music- Finished a few tracks, gonna make some more, maybe re-do the current ones.
I REDID THE CHARACTER SPRITES. MORE STYLISH. EASIER TO MODIFY. EXPRESSIVE.

Those are the bachelors. I'm only having 3 because I want to actually finish this project. Are they kissable? Would you kiss them? For how long?
rough character profiles.
left- Milo. He's the acting leader of the group. He is somewhat of an intellectual and has a knack for fixing and/or constructing helpful devices for the group. He is wholly invested in learning more about the strange notes he has been finding in basements across the destroyed town. Where could the clues be pointing? Perhaps this newcomer has some insight that he lacks..
right- Odin. An easygoing guy who's main duties involve keeping the shelter from literally falling apart. Friendly and practical, he lives in the moment, and at the moment he needs more lumber, maybe you could help him find some. He seems most content when he's busy building something, but maybe he's just trying to keep his mind off something else.. Now if only he would remember to put on a shirt!
middle- Caleb. Easily flustered kuudere. He was an invading soldier in the war, but now that neither of the countries appear to exist anymore, fighting just doesn't seem to make sense. He tries to uphold the ideals of an honorable soldier, but he was never trained for this kind of situation. His main duties for the group involve keeping watch for bandits, and searching for food. He still wonders why the others trust him so much.
made a splash screen.
MADE A DEMO
IT'S RIGHT HERE. TELL ME IF IT WORKS.
things that will change by the finished game; more expressions for the protag, right now she's kind of a silent-type but I'm probably going to change that.
