- oops, I put in the wrong title last time ;P
This will probably end up being my 2nd project. I didn't really know what other tags to put on it... western? historical fiction? science fiction? They all don't really fit... just read below and find out! ;D
Background: Amy lives in Cube 5, a place much like Earth with a few small differences (e.g. people only live on the top face; it is possible to fall off the edge [not that people do that regularly]). Cube 5 is a part of the Cubian Galaxy, which contains about 40 Cubes with different inhabitants and communities that coexist peacefully. A king in Cube 1 rules over the entire galaxy, but each Cube has its own rules and whatnot.
Summary:
A week from graduation, Amy gets dumped by her friends, who claim that she gossips too much. As a result, she goes on her much anticipated trip to visit the king in Cube 1 with only her pet robot, Yolo. The trip becomes even worse when she and Yolo get lost and crash abruptly in Cube 36, a place with farms, cowboys, and everything else that gives Amy nightmares. Play as Amy as she tries to find a way out... or stays there forever.
Disclaimer: This game is not in any way historically or scientifically accurate (I mean, it can't be with farmers and cowboys in the same town XP). If it is, it's only a coincidence. (Sorry.)
Characters:
Amy Main character (not renameable). A rich, pretty high school graduate whose goal towards popularity ends abruptly when her friends leave her. She is practical but determined with a major one-track mind and is never afraid to pursue what she wants. While Amy can be stubborn and inconsiderate, she does have a conscience (deep down inside).
Yolo Amy's "pet" robot who came as a gift for Amy's 13th birthday. Yolo is always loyal to Amy but is not particularly useful in any other way. He can't perform all his functions yet. Yolo is capable of emotion but prefers the logical approach to everything.
Tessa Amy's friend since middle school. She prefers good grades to popularity. Ends her friendship with Amy when Amy gossips about her boyfriend.
Willy
- yes, his plaid is messed up on purpose XD
A cheerful farmer from Cube 36 who takes Amy in when she and Yolo crash in his fields. Happy and kind but not as dumb as he might seem. Willy grows produce on his farm and makes robot pigs and space vehicles.
Seth An employee at the small town's general store. Seth is intelligent and good with words, but it doesn't make him happier with his work (...or his life in general). Dislikes rich people, let alone girls like Amy.
Jude The coolest cowboy in the Cube. But actually, he's quite the cold person. Maybe he's just shy?
Eliza Willy's crush and Jude's ex-girlfriend. She was a cowgirl until she broke up with Jude.
The Banana Bandit The town bandit, notorious for stealing everyday objects like bananas.
Other Info:
I don't know how long this game will be... probably not that long (1 hour per path?). Right now I'm looking at 4 paths, 12 endings, but it could change.
Backgrounds will be from free resources by Uncle Mugen, Maospace, Halo34; I've also filtered photos originally from Fun Bedroom (lol), Hypevilla, Ayay Wallpapers, Caitlyn at Square Estate, Carney Logan Architects, Twaddle-Pedroli Ranch (Wikipedia lol) and Daniel Hagerman.
I intend to post screenshots and updates soon
Screenshots:
- click to see it in actual dimensions :)
- I'll probably change the textbox later
Demo up! Any comments/suggestions appreciated!!
