All of his effects were made on his little sprite sheet!  I don’t mind uploading those for you guys to look at, as long as you don’t mind seeing 2 effects I didn’t put in the first build (the card effect, which will be in later, and the lighter effect, which I want to change to a different light effect).

1) I really liked the paper-cutout style I used in 2016, but I much prefer how I color the current ones:

2) For certain maps, I incorporate real-world images like this picture of a window I took at the Met:

3) I am a bit of a mess when it comes to map organization:

🌺 character cooking skillsArnika: “Bold of you to assume i have energy for cooking”. Instant soup and ready meals. Frozen pizza which gets burnt. It also takes some convincing to make her eat a fresh vegetable. Everything tastes like cardboard to her, which is part of the reason she likes very strong tastes (lime juice, hot sauce, ginger, etc.).Arthur: Your local creative chaotic chef. Treats cooking the same as he treats his art: some colours are known to go well together, but if he feels like putting sriracha sauce into cookies, you bet he will not hesitate. (He’s the most like me in that regard. Can you tell from what my games are like?)Lina: Actually a decent cook. This team needs one. Likes precise measurements and arranging everything into neat bowls before mixing it in, like in Bosh cooking videos. Arnika thinks it’s a waste of time, Arthur can see the appeal but is too disorganised for that.Bernard: He has no arms! But he always helps Arthur make melon-lemon pie. :3 And screams when Arthur wants to try something that absolutely will not work. Like a personal alarm system. 🌺cooking game?!After writing this, I decided that I really want to make a cooking game spinoff. I need to chill with the spinoffs. The game isn’t even done yet.I think it would be super cute! I want to redraw this doodle properly one of these days... (Also, it was drawn on a bus mostly and badly photographed, so excuse the mild wobbliness.)

my current game protags are slightly influenced by nge, mostly because i love the lil horns the characters wear when in their plugsuits.

here’s some concept art!

aaaaaaaaaaa

AAA THANK YOU ...

it’s a simulation game so the story is pretty loose, atm I’m  unsure on things like protag backstory (like, are they a transfer student? were they previously homeschooled? did their mom die and now they live with their aunt? etc) but the main core of the game is just... you do fun stuff, you talk to people, you go on dates, you go to school and try to maintain your grades while also managing stress, and you can like... fish, cook, do part-time work, pet cats, do petty crime like the delinquent you are, etc
