New games in the works

First thing's first:  I've gone ahead and canceled any plans on bothering with a port for OCH.  Truthfully, I haven't even really started on it, other than just learning the ropes for Unity and making a couple of other small, unrelated Android 'test' games.  I'm about done with OCH, I think, and would rather just move on to other things.

Speaking of, there are a couple of old games I've wanted to make for a while and I figured I might as well dust 'em off and get to work on them.

Project A is going to be a simple pseudo-VN developed with Renpy.  What can I say, it seems like a decent engine for this genre.  I'm not going to bother with details on the backstory, plot, etc. just yet, since basically none of the actual game has been developed and I don't want to overpromise on anything.

Project B is a text game, something that I haven't spent as much time developing backstory for as Project A but will probably be finished long before, since the bulk of my time on OCH (like, 85%) was spent just modeling and rendering shit, which I can only imagine will also be the case for any game with graphics that I'm forced to design.  Since this is a one-man show, sadly, Project A will also run into that bottleneck.  There is a small chance I'll use an engine that supports graphics of some type, but if I do, they'll be static images only (no animations for Project B).  Probably won't, though.

Anyway, these games are going to be developed more or less simultaneously, so I'll have occasional updates going forward for both of them.

WIP 3: Finished and named (Orval Creep n' Hammer)

It took a while, but the game's finally finished. I present to you:   Orval Creep n' Hammer . Alright, so I'm not great with names.  Believe it or not this is the best iteration that myself and three other people could come up with. Features: Stars four women Multiple animated sex scenes Wood paneling There are currently a couple of known issues, both particular to the GNU/Linux version.  Basically, typos that I forgot to correct before uploading the files.  Oops.  😢 It's a simple enough game, give it a download and try it out (approx. 700mb).

FGAME, beginnings

FGAME (working title still) is going to be a relatively short game, with only five or six concise 'acts' that take place throughout.  As such, I didn't expect to spend very much time building the skeletal structure of the code, or the plot, or the standin character art. As usual, I've underestimated the amount of work that actually goes into creating a fucking game, even a fantastically short one.  You'd think I'd know better, but no, it's a lesson that just doesn't seem to stick. Still, some honest-to-god progress has been made.  I've learned some of the renpy ropes and have already built the majority of the locations that can be accessed, and the player's means of accessing them.  None of the final art of course, which is going to take the longest by far, but... baby steps. I've also finalized the plot structure, events, etc. and started in on the script in a proper fashion.  The first 'act' is done, though I haven't ...

Taking a break, sort of.

I've decided that I'm going to take a short break from my 'main' project and work on something else for a few weeks.  That's not to say that I might not work on it a bit every here or there, but I'm going to focus my efforts on something else for a little while. Specifically, I've decided that I want to make a short game in Ren'py .  It's an engine you're probably familiar with if you're a fan of visual novels, but for the uninitiated, well... it's a thing that lets you make visual novels.  Whew!  Made it through the intro, wasn't sure I would. Why Ren'py?  It's easy, cross-platform and good for what it does.   Akabur uses it, as do many, many, many other people, and 10,000 wolves can't be wrong as they say.  I don't think I'll be using it for my main thing, since half the point of that is just the fun of developing shit by hand, but for simpler stuff it looks like it should work quite nicely. So, what am I ...
