You've Got Mail! (Fantasy | NaNo '16) (Beta Released!)

#1 Post by feathersnake »

YGM! Logo Thing 2.png
The beta is out for the Nano submission deadline on itch.io! We've still got more to do before we consider it fully finished, but we managed to get enough done to release.

You can find it here: https://olfix-productions.itch.io/youve-got-mail

Summary:

Becoming a mail carrier is no small task, but there are three new recruits determined to pass the test.

Characters:

(Note: Official nicknames may change.)

From left to right ➡ Nickname: Firecracker | Nickname: Mr. Cat | Nickname: Sparkles | Mrs. Crow Feather | Mr. Pigeon Feather
YGM! Chara lineup.png

Firecracker: A hot headed mountain troll that's sensitive about his height. Everyone likes teasing him because he gets mad pretty easily, but despite his anger he has a heart of gold.


Mr. Cat: A bit of a jokester, Mr. Cat loves collecting jokes and puns. Especially puns. Usually fairly quiet, Mr. Cat loves watching from the sidelines until he sees a purrrfect moment to give his opinion.


Sparkles: As an overly polite, sparkly, lovesick pegicorn, Sparkles loves being the center of attention which is the very reason why he even decided to do this whole mailman thing! People love a guy in uniform.


Mrs. Crow Feather: A very polite and sensitive pigeon and the wife of Mr. Pigeon. She is the destination for the mailman test.


Mr. Pigeon Feather: A very proud character that gets offended when you call him a crow and insists that he's a carrier pigeon. He's the head of the mail business and is the one that sets the three off on their journey.

We're running way late, but trying hard to make NaNo this year! ^^ I'll be adding more pics and maybe info soon. We'd also love to have a guest art section in the gallery extras of the game if anyone is interested! We're still working on colors, but the character sprites above are most likely the whole cast.

This game may contain lots of puns. :wink:

Rough Progress:

Backgrounds: 100%
CGs: 0% (Waiting for post-Nano)
Sprites: 60%
Story: 100%
Music: 95% (May be replaced post-Nano)
Script: 95%
GUI: 95%
Programming: 70%
Miscellaneous: ???% (Post-Nano)

YES THAT IS GOOD NEWS. TRULY, THE GLORY OF UNICORNS MUST BE PRESERVED.

AND THERE'S A MR. PIGEON TOO! I ALREADY SEE HIM AS A FATHER TO ME.

My over the top reactions to pigeons aside, those GUIs are so very smart indeed. I LOVE THE IDEA THAT THE CG GALLERY HAVE STAMPS FOR THUMBNAIL. I also see guest art section. You may or may not see something to fill it from me ;'))

Pfft. Mr. Pigeon and Mrs. Crow are super cute. =u=

Aw, thanks so much. ;u; We're pretty happy with the outcome of the GUIs. They're all pretty cute and funny but we wanted to save some of them as a surprise. There's much sillyness and defacing of mailboxes in the GUIs! XD

AAAAAAAAHHHH ART WOULD BE SO GREAT but you don't have to if you don't have time. ;u; Thanks so much!

Thank you! ;u;
Good luck to you too!

I may or may not be silently stalking Lads in Distress- you guys are so fast and the art is so pretty and the story looks so cool!

Update on the BG art!
BG art is about 60% done now. C:
I wanted to do 30% because I'm terrible at BGs and the next ones are going to be slow but feathersnake told me to up the percent and not be too hard on myself.

Here's a shot of one of the BGs:

That is a super pretty forest <3 I like how all of the different shades of green work together to blend with each other!

Sorry we haven't said anything in a while. We obviously didn't make the official Nano date, but we're going to keep working until the itch.io submission deadline on the 7th and release whatever we've got done. The game likely won't be what we consider finished even then, so we'll probably update the version we put up on itch after the rest of the content is ready. (Such as CGs)

Thanks for the support everyone!
