It has been quite a chaotic past few weeks- but we finally released the game!! (30 minutes before the due date-)

BooBoo Dev log

Looking back now there are many things I would definitely change- Making this game was overall a fun experience and I definitely learned a lot. Since this was my first time writing a script, some scenes do come off a bit forced. The way I wrote Carneilian's scenes about their gender, looking back it's very clear I didn't entirely know what i was talking about. Carneilian's whole character is something that I'm not too fond of. I adore the different elements of her but i feel like I was trying to do so much that it all didn't work well together. One of her issues is that she isn't good at communicating her feelings and is seen as cold. I  feel like I didn't do a good job expressing that, it's not very believable to me. Another thing is evening out the lengths of the routes. Sultan's is extremely long compared to Toby's and Carneilian's and even though he's the true route, it's something I want to fix in later updates. Another thing i would change about the development is being the main dev- i learned very quickly that i am not a good leader and I feel as though that weighed the team down. One last thing I regret is not having other people read the script as i went. I love writing but not having anyone there to tell me if a scene needed to be reworked would've been very handy-

Even though I criticize it a lot i do like this game. It's my first time doing something like this and I'm proud of all the work we did. I loved writing again and I love the story we made. I could not have done it without my incredible team. Goggles single-handedly did all of the sprite work and Cgs and that still astonishes me. They did a fantastic job. Our voice actors were also amazing and I loved hearing them bring the scenes to life. We also had a handful of designers and concept artists who were amazing every step of the way. Our Beta-Testers were also very helpful and persistent and helpful, the entire last few hours of beta testing were very chaotic and stressful-. I also have to thank our amazing Gui artist, I fell in love with the main screen right as i saw it, and our composer. Rice worked very fast and i love each and every one of the tracks they made of this game! Our programmer, bbq, worked amazingly fast and i am so grateful we were able to have him as our programmer because he worked through every challenge in such a timely manner.  last but not least I wanna thank my voices of reason- they were incredibly helpful with being honest with every idea and making sure I wasn't in over my head- they made working such a fun time and they all were just amazing. 

I also want to thank lysterine for putting this idea in my head from the start- without them, I wouldn't have even considered making the game-

Even though it was very stressful, I loved it. Writing always made me happy but seeing the story come to life was a whole new experience that i adored. Thank you all so much for playing our game. 

Dev log!!! Goggles edition! 

Working on this game was very fun! We had a few mishaps here n' there but it all turned out fine. (mostly) Drawing everything was exhausting but I managed to make it work. I feel like I was to ambitious at first with all the sprites so we had to cut down some things but it'll be in the final game!! 

My overall thoughts on the game, corny as fuck!! There's a lot of angst that I was not expecting. (Fun fact i didn't read the script until the 2nd to last day of the jam) But it does have a certain charm to it. We all worked very hard on this game though, and I think that shouldn't go unrecognized! Overall this was really fun to do and I hope everyone that plays it enjoys it! 

P.s.. we are gonna fix some things in the final I swear. Especially that one cringe ass line where on of the twins calls sultan, and I quote, "our little king" that is literally voiced!! Worst line in the entire game! I hate it so much!
