It’s the 4th Romance The Backrooms love interest: the shy & anxious Zenobos, voiced by @auroraaveva ! Alexis Boone voices Carla for this video.
The game’s voice acting update is coming on October 23rd!
Play Romance The Backrooms here: https://norbez.itch.io/romance-the-backrooms
And check out Zenobos intro & behind-the-scenes blog post: https://www.tumblr.com/norbezjones/752023272872427520/sketch-sheet-of-the-4th-love-interest-of-romance?source=share
Hey y’all! In our last post about Yancy At The End Of The World! , we talked about Yancy’s mom. Today, we’re discussing Yancy’s high school BFF, Nekoni!
Nekoni was Yancy’s best friend for years, from the time they were little kids up until they graduated high school. Yancy drifted away from her in college, intentionally not contacting her because his mother didn’t approve of his friendship with her. But when the zombie apocalypse starts, chance gives him the opportunity to reconnect with her again, and he takes it.
Nekoni was designed by critterboxd and is voiced by Aurora Ave-Lallemant, who has worked with me on several games before: xe’s Zenobos in Romance The Backrooms, and was the main character Juniper in Cthulhu’s Son Is A Scene Kid?! I asked xem to play Nekoni very early in the game’s life, because I wanted to keep working with xem and xe is very talented. Xe said yes, and I couldn’t be happier!
Aurora is also doing the music for this project, and everything xe’s produced so far has been amazing. I’m hyped for y’all to hear the soundtrack!
That’s all for today. Look forward to playing Yancy At The End Of The World! in this year’s Interactive Fiction Competition, which opens on September 1st!
Woah! Bez and I working together again? It's more likely than you think!
In all seriousness, Yancy At The End Of the World has been such an incredible experience for me creatively, and I'm honored to be doing both the voice of Nekoni as well as writing and producing the soundtrack for the game!
Oh my gosh! Another fandub! A new microphone setup! So exciting!
This fandub is episode 7 of the excellent series Duncan and Eddie created by the phenomenal @doginacafe! Please go send him lots of love, it's very deserved!
Feel free to hang out, because more fandubs are on their way! I hope you all enjoy the videos, and I appreciate any support already given :D
Voices, Music, and Editing were all done by me! Thank you for watching! Much love, friends. ♡
"Why are we at a restaurant?" Zenobos asked, confused.
Carla blushed. "Well, they're doing a couple's night here," she explained shyly. "And I thought you could be my date."
Zenobos's eyes went wide, and he blushed, his light green cheeks turning yellow. "W-What gave you that impression?" he squeaked.
Carla shrugged, trying to come off as nonchalant. "Well, you and I, we really get each other. We have a special connection, and I get the feeling you like me as more than just a friend."
Zenobos's blush was even more prominent now. "I-Is it that obvious?" he asked.
Carla chuckled. "A little bit, yeah. . ."
Zenobos nodded, taking this all in. Then, he gathered his courage, and reached up, taking Carla's hand. Carla looked down at him, surprised.
"Well, let's go then," he said, giving her a smile. "As a couple. You and me."

((These are early palette choices being mulled over for the character "Bucket Farce" by the highly super talented and incredible @lotus-start!!! This is his first game apparently??? I can't believe that. Everyone ever ask this wonderful person for help except leave space for me to do so sometime okay???
Bucket Farce is the OOC of Plot Twists and will be appearing for the first time in Purple Prose. He can be considered to be a kind of trickster or chaos god.))
""""""Hi hi hi hi hi hiya!""""""
Whammo. Got 'em in one, heh heh. Never let 'em predict your first move, that's what I always say JUST KIDDING! Pow! Got 'em again.
Six of me at once. Some people would call that a crying shame (like <a certain famous funnyman voice> mY wIFE) but you know you love it or, plot twist for ya, you're gonna.
1: "So which one of us is gonna take the lead?"
2: "I dunno, I thought you were."
3: "HE was? But I thought it was gonna be ME!"
4 (They Call Him...Mister Blue): "Pretty sure it's gonna be me and all y'alls are gonna frighten off the ladies.
5: "Pretty sure it's 'hoes' around these parts. Y'know, scaring the hoes, not good."
6 (Call Him Mister Less Blue): "Don't call them hoes! In this house! We! RESPECT WOMEN!"
This could've gone on for a while if I wanted it. You guys don't really get it. I'm good at this kinda thing. Too good, even. My buddy ol pal ol friend always says, "Bucket, my good best buddy in the whole wide world," (imagine he says it but sadder, my pal, he's gotta get more Vitamin D), "you're too good at this. People do not like it. You should be singular like me."
I'm singular. I'm lookin' to mingular, if you catch my drift.
4: "Okay but seriously. They're looking at us funny. This is too much. Humans, they don't like staring down at six different flavors of dude."
3: "Well it sure isn't going to be you, 4, aren't you an unlucky number?"
4: "I am? Where?"
2: "A beautiful country of some kind. Am I the only one who's done any of the homework before manifesting?"
1: "Mmmmmmmmmmmaybe." ^_^;
5: "I hate to see it (homework)." -_-
6: "Uh, wait, but guys, in fact, I shouldn't even be saying guys-"
4: <looking like he's starting to either see or be a bit of a snack> Is anyone else thinking of walking cheeseburgers? Or is it just me? I also just really, really think this is my color. What do we all think?
1, 2, 3, 5, 6: .............................................
I stood around in a circle, in formation, ignorant of you guys watching me because, to be honest, like, I'm a funny little guy, aren't I? If I'm not amusing you yet, I will. I'm just bein' a little silly.
I clean up the mess I've made without blinking an eye or having a thought. I'm me. My nature is discerned precisely as I wish for it to be. I have a secret fundamental to the universe itself and they tell me it's a real doozy! Six of one, half dozen of the other, ultimately
ultimately though...
4: <after a long silence> Yep. Just a silly little guy. We can call me...Mister Blue, no no no wait,
I say in response to a withering glare and sigh from my friend, my buddy, the OOC of Endings you can't see him he's off camera. That guy is always being so serious, sigh, I get it.
4: Let's take this from the top! Hiya hiya hiya cuties! How's it going! My name is Bucket Farce!
With that, I take a bow, deep down to the floor. I form my adorable face into the most profound expression I have observed on my way towards this weird little place with so many weird little people to do weird little things with.
4: Let's have fun together! :3 I promise nothing weird will happen at all!!!
-------------------------------------------------
Kind of a rough idea. Still experimenting with how it feels to be around these guys. You'll all see some of that in the finished VN. Bucket Farce is someone for whom physicality and form are suggestions. He is a shapeshifter. The only rule he follows is that he must always have a head and that head is always covered in a bucket. I'll leave to your imagination what all that could mean but it does mean it is as nothing to him to be six people at once and to just as quickly be just one person.
He identifies as a 'he' but it is a shorthand and matter of convenience. In truth, he could be anything under the bucket and has just chosen to identify as a silly little guy as opposed to something boring or profound or difficult to explain.
He is a cute character with some amazing sprites in store. I believe one inspiration was Dimentio and that Lotus has spent time in Sonic fan spaces as an artist. I believe that all shines through clearly here for a character I hope will be memorable when you all meet him. ^^ As always, stay tuned. I share as I get things to share and we're really picking up on the way towards the July 1st deadline for the jam.
Oh My Goodness! I saw this character and the dialogue that Dollhouse had posted and I was so genuinely charmed. This kind of character is also one of my favorites to record sooo...
Please enjoy my rendition of Bucket Farce and his Split Six scene! Thank you friends for listening and thank you Dollhouse for letting me record this!
Juniper, a disabled & depressed transgender woman, meets a new guy at the CD shop, and the two of them fall in love. However, it turns out he’s the son of Cthulhu! Will their love prevail?
This was made for a fuck-ton of game jams—basically, I saw a bunch of jams from May to June that I wanted to participate in, and was like, “Let’s participate in them all with one game!”
The primary jam that inspired this is the Cringe Culture is Dead Jam. I got the idea of a girl falling in love with Cthulhu’s son when I adopted the character design of FR3AK a while back, and was like, “Now I gotta make a game called ‘Cthulhu’s Son Is A Scene Kid?!’.” That jam was perfect for that idea!
I also decided to embrace doing some things that make me cringe, to really fulfill the jam’s purpose. Because the older I get, the more I realize that if something instinctively makes me cringe, it’s likely I sign I should embrace doing that thing. That’s why the music is me humming into the microphone, because singing in public is very hard for me to do! So I knew I had to do it anyway! >:)
Also, this was originally intended for the REALLY BAD IF jam & the Worst Visual Novel Ever Challenge, as an intentionally bad game. That’s why the writing & art aren't as polished as it usually is. But as I developed it, (1) I needed more time to finish it, so I missed the deadlines for those jams, and (2) most importantly, this game started to have some actual quality to it (mainly due to the amazing voice work @auroraaveva & @jalenakers did!). So I couldn’t submit it to those jams anyway! A good problem to have!
Let me know what you think of this little game of mine. It was intended to be a short, fun little project, and everyone involved did a fantastic job.
P.S. Whoever can name the games of mine that Dana And The Pains originates from get 1000 internet points.
