Sus' house, before and after!

As I mentioned in the last devlog, since I have more time to work on Pink Pro, I decided to redo the interior of Sus' house. It looks much better now!

Pink Pro Update!

The Yuri Game Jam is over, and it still feels strange to me to have submitted well in advance (Then I remembered that the deadline was pushed back by like a week, so I would have submitted just in time, but details-). Deciding to post a demo rather than the whole game turned out to be a good choice for my peace of mind.

PINK PRO – [PINK]Y [PRO]MISE – DEMO released 🍨

Pink Pro - [Pink]y [Pro]mise - is the union of "the pink-colored game" and "the sweets-themed game" that I've wanted to make for ages. All with a smattering of yuri and monster girls to garnish.

The demo covers the first ten or twenty minutes. It depends on how much and what you want to read.

«Chantal and Janet are the two best bakers in Rhodopolis. Once rivals, they are now engaged, but they continue to have separate and competing businesses. Accompany Chantal, meet customers' tastes, search for the right ingredients to create customized sweets and defeat Janet! ... At least until Janet is kidnapped by one of her clients.» 

You can find it at these coordinates:

🍰 Available on Itch.io (Click me! Click me!) 🍰 In English and Italian 🍰 Features an all-female cast, a lot of sweets and a lot of pink 🍰 Major warnings are sort of body horror and, for the full version, abduction, attempted choking, hatred for "the different one" that can be interpreted as racism or homophobia 🍰 4.000+ words (Flavour texts and NPCs included) 🍰 About twenty minutes of reading, walking simulator and cooking minigame

You have to cook, okay, but how do you have to cook? With Venka's Crafting Script!

I loved this script from the first time I saw it - I even replay the demo from time to time as if it were an actual game. So I promised myself that I would use it, sooner or later, and here it is!

The only thing, is it seems like I can't change the green of the button and it looks terrible but-

Obviously, there aren't just three recipes, it's that I made the screenshot when I started implementing them in the script. After a moment of panic due to the amount of instructions and add-ons, it's actually not a difficult script. (… At least for now.)

Obviously part 2, the text of the English version will be in English. Except for the names of the recipes, which will remain in French - "Chantal" is a French name, so her recipes also have French names. *Logic!*

Hey, remember when I said that Pink Pro was a cute and cozy game? No, because luckily I never wrote it!

It didn't become horror (No mood swings like Dreaming Mary or Wadanohara, sorry), but Chantal's past and Janet's kidnapping forced me to draw up a list of warnings that I didn't think I would put in a game like this. Oh, well.

Warnings:

Sort of body horror? (99% 'cause, you know, monster girls)

Abduction

Attempted choking

[Mentioned] Bullying

Hatred for "the different one" that can be interpreted as racism or homophobia

Something more positive: it's not possible to get a game over and the two endings are both positive. Whatever Chantal is seeing in this screenshot, it will end well!

Chantal's room.

Janet’s clients!

Five classy (?) ladies, and one of them is not suspicious at all.

Their names also come from the animals they are inspired by:

Nicopte: Flamingo - Phoe[nicopte]rus

Deilela: Elephant hawk moth - [Deile]phi[la] elpenor

Byma: Axolotl - Am[by]sto[ma] mexicanum

Saster: Starfish - Pi[saster] brevispinus

And Margrit, totally not the antagonist, whose name comes from the margarita. Why the margarita? Because there's a version of the bloody mary where, instead of using gin, you use margarita - And the result is called "pink mermaid". This is because, initially, Margrit was supposed to be a mermaid. Among the NPCs it is possible to find fairies, goblins and spirits, so it was not strange that among the secondary characters there was a mermaid. In the end, however, I found that "the pink manta ray" was perfect for her ♡

About the others' designs.

Nicopte is tall - Very tall. I don't know if I'll be able to convey the idea with the sprite, we'll see. The dress and the hair might remind you of Jessica Rabbit, and you wouldn't go too far. In reality, she has a tight dress to make her look even taller.

Deilela, as clearly visible, has four arms. Make her sprite will be fun, or maybe not. Her style veers more towards punk, but all things considered she looks like a fairy. (My beta, @time-lapse-games, claims she's a Winx. She's probably not entirely wrong.)

Saster isn't inspired by the monster from Pan's Labyrinth, it's just that starfish have eyes on their ends. But, yeah, she can totally do the scene from Pan's Labyrinth (I'll probably do a screenshot redraw one day). Her hairstyle should resemble a star.

Chantal's clients!

Will she be able to give them customized sweets while avoiding everything they hate? Hopefully yes, because otherwise her reputation as a great pastry chef would suffer a serious blow-

Their names come from the scientific names of the animals they are inspired by:

Loseica: Pink cockatoo/Galah - Eo[lo]phus ro[seica]pilla

Kenicea: Hopkin's rose nudibranch - O[keni]a rosa[cea]

Silsdia: Pink handfish - Brachiop[sil]u[s dia]nthus

Sus: Piggy - [Sus] domesticus

And Zora, from "roza", "pink" in Esperanto.

Yes, there's even a human. In Rhodopolis you can really find everything.

Regarding their designs, Sus and Zora fall into Harajuku Fashion, with the former inspired by classic lolita (Because she is an ojousama) and the latter by fairy kei (Because she is the only human, so she is inspired by a supernatural creature (?)).

Silsdia, on the other hand, is more "granny style" (No flying slipper, but she can flip your face with a pat), while Loseica is more of a very light elegant punk (She's a career woman who doesn't give up fashion!).
