Funny Business [GxB Otome] [Comedy] [Absurd]
Posted: Wed Oct 27, 2021 10:05 pm
Hey there! I started working on an otome a few months ago, and now that I’m getting close to finishing some assets & things, I thought I could start a thread to share my progress!
I swear Trace is winking at Malca.... but Tom probably thinks it's directed at him
Premise
The owner of a private animal shelter dies, and in her will, she leaves it to a “Mr. Frances Winchester.”
When Tom visits Frances’ house, he’s shocked to find that Frances is, in fact… a toucan.
Now it’s up to Frances’ owner, Malca, to take over the shelter. However, the business survives only on donations, and it's dying... and Malca has a criminal past— she only knows to do things illegitimately.
Here’s a look at the sprites:
These are still just sketches of course
Protagonist
Malca is the main character. She used to run a successful fake ID business (and occasionally committed identity fraud, no big deal). She’s a quick thinker and is pretty good at getting out of trouble (I haven't started programming yet, but I'm planning to make it so you can rename her (and possibly choose different outfits for her?))
Love Interests
Trace is Malca’s former (and far less competent) partner-in-crime. Malca decided to take a break, so they don’t work together anymore, but Trace still drops by sometimes to watch her TV. Trace is broke, and he lives in a tiny apartment with, like, 8 other guys. He refuses to get a job, and instead likes to come up with ridiculous schemes to make money.
Tom works at the animal shelter. He claims to only care about practicality, but his strange antiquated armor says otherwise. He always has bags under his eyes. Unsurprisingly, Tom doesn’t have a lot of faith that the shelter will survive.
Sometimes a mysterious voice can be heard around him… but if you ask about it, Tom will pretend like he didn't hear it.
Graham is a veterinarian. He takes care of & examines all the animals that come into the shelter. Graham thinks that all animals deserve to be healthy, regardless of whether or not their owner can afford it. He’s empathetic & he tends to listen more than he talks. He seems genuine, but Malca figures out pretty quickly that Graham might be hiding a few things about his past...
Progress
I’ve finished the script for the first chapter! I don’t know the exact word count, because I wrote it script-writing style, but it turned out to be ~30 pages. I’ve also made progress on a lot of the BGs that appear in chapter 1. I still need to finish them, and I need to finish the sprites. After that, I’ll have to draw the chapter 1 CGs. And of course, put it all together hahah.
I'll be back soon with BG pictures!
