My Lovely Pastry [Otome, Visual Novel, Alchemy][Updated]

#1 Post by Skaiya »

This is a little project of mine.
Yes I mean little, I am working on my own here and I want this to be on my
portfolio.

---

"My Lovely Pastry"
Is about running your own Pastry shop.
You have to study hard to be able to study finances. (This makes you able to run the Pastry shop)
Although there seem to be some, obstacles, minding your work.
It gets worse when your little brother becomes sick for a while. (This means less time to study)

Besides that there are some questions the game asks from you.
-Who will you choose to run a pastry shop with?
-Will that person eventually stay with you?
-Will you pass your exams?
-Or will you choose to run away with a person?
-Are you going for a whole new future?

Besides studying, going on dates there is more to do.
-Look for a place to run a pastry shop, upgrade it and unlock new features.
-Become popular with your sweets.
-Look for a fast way to bake stuff (alchemy skill!)
-Find out the secrets of one of the guys.
-Behold! There is a rich person near you!

You play as a girl who is 19 years old.
It has been her dream to start her own pastry shop the moment she baked her first sweet.

-About the girl-
I am not a real fan of shy girls who can't speak their mind.
So I gave her these features:

- Pretty Smart.
- Curious.
- Bit of a dreamer.
- Not a usual conversation starter (but she is able to and does at some point.)
- Able to stand up for herself.

Although, it is possible that one of the guys defends her, who knows.

She lives with her family in the middle of nowhere in a forest.
She has a little brother.
Goes to school in the city.
Has a part-time job at a local Pastry and also delivers some of the orders from time to time.
(This will happen on a standard day, although there might be some days when there is a special delivery..)


-Main characters-
Every main except your little brother.
Image


-Screenshots/Backgrounds/Etc.-

And here is a draft for the main menu.
A more detailed background is on it's way.
Image

First Pastry shop. This will be without ALL the upgrades so it looks really plain and it has been empty for quite some time so it might even be a bit dusty.
For now you can upgrade it 3 times.
It will clear the windows add standards with sweets, flowers, a sign, and more.
Image

-NEW-
Image


Coming soon:
- Emotion states of the guys. (not all)
- NPC's
- Some of the sweets.
- Screenshots.

-Mechanics-

- Stats Raising (Intelligence, Alchemy, Popularity (shop) ?, ?
- Little bit of management for the shop. (This will be shown with a concept)
- Quiz/Puzzle. (Exam)
- Item Combination (Alchemy)

The dating features are still being thought about.
I need it to be simple but not boring.

---

So here is my little project.
I do not need to hear the "I will not play this" comments.
This is just my fun project, and I hope people would be interested in it.
I wanted to post it here so you guys can see what I am working on.
This is also easy for me to update.

Although, any ideas for the guys, I wouldn't mind to hear that.
I always like a mysterious one.
But what do you like?

I know I put my signature everywhere..

This sounds like it'll be a pretty cute game! I like what you've got so far, especially that drawing of where the MC lives; it's gorgeous.
Although, any ideas for the guys, I wouldn't mind to hear that.
I always like a mysterious one.
But what do you like?
Well, maybe since you like a mysterious one and one is snooping around the MC's house, the guy can be the town thief or something. I don't know, it's just an idea.

Best of luck making your game!
My first completed visual novel, which is at 1.3, it's final version(woo hoo!): Monster Uses CPU 2
Finally at version 1.0: White Fog

I make one song every week, all for free download! This weeks song: Synthis- The Mirror(Eliana Remix)[Preview]

You might ask yourself: If I could only save one paragraph of the work I'm writing, which one would I save?
Which one would I let go first?

Wow, so is this going to be a stat-raiser? Sounds like a lot of work programming-wise, but I'm wishing you luck! That character art is just lovely uvu

Ah, I stated at the beginning that I have some experience with Renpy.
I know which codes to use, luckily.

And thank you very much ^^
