Hurricane Like Me (DEMO) [Slice of Life]

#1 Post by margaretcatter »

Hello all, this is a game that I've been working on for a few weeks now for the Summer Novel Fest Jam. Writing is about 98% done. Since this is my first project I have basically no budget we're using Deji's placeholder sprites and uncle mugens backgrounds from over on the creative commons end of the forums. This is just the prologue to introduce our main character. Any and all feedback is welcomed either via the in game function or on this thread.

Summary: Our story is about a highly functional disaster masquerading as a person, twenty something city girl who doesn't have it together in any way shape or form. After losing her bag on a train our protagonist has just had it she's quitting everything and never leaving her apartment again. Thankfully however when a very cute boy finds and returns her bag she thinks hey maybe everything isn't the worst, then she opens her mouth and ruins what should be an adorable meet cute. After regretting their awful first meeting she decided maybe she should give it a second shot and hunts down the boy because maybe second impressions are the best impressions.

MC - Eir Warren (Casual, work, PJs/Sweats)
DOB November 8th
158cm/5ft 2in
Blood Type B
A total hot mess. Not really ready to be an adult well passed the age of childhood. Barely making it through day to day adulthood on her own. Fakes being a functioning adult pretty well but look away from her on any given day and she might just burn water. Executive assistant because running someone elses life is 100% her jam.

Eir’s Best Friend - Karla Juli (Casual)
DOB March 18th
157cm/ 5ft 2in
Blood Type AB
Eir’s college best friend. They once lived together post college and it almost destroyed their friendship. Knows Eir is a mess but sometimes underestimates how much of a mess she truly is. Down for pretty much anything Eir throws her way and unlike Eir 100% on top of her shit.

Boy - Troy Colby (Casual, bike messenger)
DOB April 8th
185cm/6ft 1in
Blood Type A+
Doesn’t have his shit together but is working his damndest to get it together. Professional dog walker and bike messenger extraordinaire. Has no time for other people's bullshit because he’s trying to get his life in order. Not so secretly a mush. Just one good break away from having his shit together.

Troy’s Best Friend - Courtney Teagan (Casual)
DOB January 16th
171cm/5 ft 8 in
Blood Type B

Eir’s Boss - Jade Logan (Work)
DOB December 13th
176 cm/5 ft 9 in
Blood Type O

All of the heavy lifting writing wise has been done by meltycreamcats and everything else has been done by me.

Progress

Writing 90% (outlined fully need to finish 3rd act)
Backgrounds 50% (right now there are 30 planned but that might change)
GUI 0%
Music ~%
Programming 80% (Not planning anything fancy, so this won't take long)

Looking for comments and critique on what we have so far primarily.
