Another Status update
KAKYOIN BIRTHDAY MONTH… IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a lot to write about which is why I probably shouldn’t be making entries as far apart as I do…
Since there are more people reading these for Kakyoquest, I will structure this entry differently so I don’t drag on for too long. There will be three sections: Game Release Date Estimate, New Kakyoin Jr Trip, and Recent Thoughts. because i am not bothered to make a new page for each of them!
GAME RELETAS EYDATW EESTWIMATE
Hello
Again, I just want to say that people's kind words on the demo have really really sped up how hard I’ve been working on the next area.. Just seeing the amount of downloads on the demo immediately waters my parched corpse and I make haste.
So, I plan to release the next area around the end of this month. It’s a quarter of the way done. You may be worried. “A QUARTER? But you’ve had this whole time?! You stenchful slug!” your rigt but pleas remember: I am the only person working on this game. I am making the dialogue, drawing the sprite art, composing the background music, and coding the game. I’m not saying this to boast or sound impressive at all, but just so you get an idea as to why it’s gonna take a while.
Also, it would have taken longer if I hadn’t already completed the whole area already. You see, I did actually release the second area a while ago, but that itself was a really unpolished version and what I’m doing right now is just… redoing… everything/…. yeah… cuz it sucked……
I can’t say much because it's so much better when you don’t know anything.
But I’m very excited for people to experience this area. Let me just say, the atmosphere is completely on purpose. When some of my friends were playtesting it a while ago, I could see them physically becoming drained the longer they played. Um, this is a good thing, by the way. IT'S ON PURPOSE OK???(and maybe because it sucked back then)
This next area will be completely different from the Whirly woods. Alright?
You’ll see why. Alright?
New Kakyo Jr trip Exclamation Mark (Mark: Hi)
For my birthday, we went to Tasmania. I actually really liked it because I needed to reconnect and become natureful after my Gamer Life. But anywheys, here are some pictures I took.
I climbed the hill. Are you proud of me?
Overall, the botanical gardens was my favourite place.. It makes you want to age 60 years and start focusing on your petunia garden.
We also went to Port Arthur, which was beautifully maintained and solemn.. Thinking about it now, there were many near death experiences on this trip?
For example, our car door almost flew off when we drove up to Mount Wellington. And a random man just.. sat inside our car.(While on the mountain)? Oh and there were really cute cows and sheep that I got to feed.. Farms are awesome.. Farming is awesome and productive… Farm is efficient….
Hahaha,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Recent Thoughts
I’ve been steadily working on KakyoQuest, but sometimes I need to reconnect with the outside world if I’m running out of inspiration battery. So recently, I’ve been reading Nitro+Chiral visual novels.
But wait, let me defend myself before you think I’m a meandering miscreant. I decided to start this journey for various reasons.. One of them being that a DMMD cupsleeve event is taking place soon, and I want to attend it so I decided ‘hey this gives me an excuse to play the dang game’ and.. yes I can see why a cupsleeve event is being held for it.
Dramatical Murder Review
The soundtrack is awesome. You would expect to get tired of the music in VN’s because the same stuff plays all throughout a section, for as long as your reading time takes, but nope. I really really enjoyed the edm-electro-futuristic vibe the songs had and also appreciated how the vocalists would change for each character’s endings, fitting their personality.
On the topic of personality.. I kinda also played this game to indulge in the character interaction, and thought it was cool how Aoba could mold to go down any route in a semi-realistic way, without erasing his core characteristics in the process.
I definitely liked some routes more than the others.. Yeah, I did not like some routes at all.. But this isn’t the fault of the game, more so I didn’t like them because I hold affection for Aoba and don't want him to suffer just for the sake of my own fantasies, which seems what the game tries to do anyways..
Overall, I had a lot of fun and don’t wanna force any unneeded criticism. I liked how the protagonist was a ‘regular guy who actually has secret powers’ and reminds me of the critically acclaimed ‘y/n’ in every fanfiction, in a good way.
Another thing I just remembered is how much I like the character design.
I’m in awe of how literally every single character has a reason for their unique appearance which also makes sense within the story.
Take a look at the characters right now. Look at one and focus on an attribute. I guarantee there is an explanation/cause of that.
Obviously, there doesn’t ALWAYS have to be a reason for quirks in character design, but I just thought it was super cool.
Woah. I was gonna write a ton more but I also have Slow Damage to review….
THAT’S A NEXT ENTRY PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So please hold on for a bit..
I’m going as fast as I can but since the end of the year is approaching I have a lot of Life-Altering Exams which I should probably focus on, as well as regular school-work and regular work-work.
Yup, it’s no excuse, but please forgive me.
Okay, see you guys in Triangle Town!
