A Blastastic Love Story: KiriBaku Walkthrough

Visual Novel by @chocodevs

It can be downloaded for free on itch.io: https://chocomarimo.itch.io/kiribaku

FAQ’s about the game!

I’ve never made a walkthrough before but I had the free time to do this. Hope it helps but feel free to add anything that I missed.

I’m not sure if anyone else has made a walkthrough since I haven’t found any yet. Please tell me if there is, though.

You don’t have to follow everything exactly to get an ending or achievement.

Still Alive and Some Minor Updates

Hello!

I wonder if anyone still follows this blog? Anyway, I’m here to announce that I’m not dead and any of my ongoing projects still kind of live! (Maybe?) There’s still a bunch of stuff going on in the background, but long story short as to why I disappeared for so long and there hasn’t been any updates is because I started working. 

So, when you work for a company, you should definitely read over your work agreement/contract. In mine, there was a specific clause about how the company owned anything I produced, even if it’s a side-project and I made it outside of work. That’s the big reason why I stopped producing anything. 

For almost two and a half years, I worked there and now, I’ve moved on. There’s still some stuff going I need to sort out with the company before I cut ties with them completely, so I’m still on pins and needles waiting. When everything is finished neatly, I’ll come back to game dev. 

But until then, I guess I’m going to hang onto my butt and hope everything works out. I can’t wait to have fun doing things that I want to do again. 

Hopefully I’ll be back later with positive news!

A preview!! Also, I’m not dead! Just giving myself that final push to declutter some code/features (some stuff i wanted to put in have just been...too much and very irrelevant to what the final vision should be) and then onto finishing backgrounds. 

If no hiccups are encountered, this should be completed in 2019. :)

[chocodevs]

Regarding the news that everyone is talking about, I’m not moving away from Tumblr yet. 

I’ll keep everyone posted if I do move blogs, but for now, I’m remaining here. I might hop onto pillowfort, but like I said, I’ll make a note of that if I move.

A Fantastic Love Story Update

WOOOO!

We’re just about 85% done with all character assets for the upcoming KiriBaku game. Now, the only thing left is some UI buttons and backgrounds to be done, but overall, we’re still chugging along! 

Story’s been planned, events are set, major features have been coded (with just one more to go and another one to debug). So overall, things look roughly like this broken down!

Story: 50% Music: 70% UI: 90% Art: 60% Coding: 35% Misc (Side Quests, Insert Text, Items, etc): 15%

People think coding is the most difficult part...that is a lie. Art is the hardest. Once all the assets are turned in and done, I can finish coding! Yay!!!

MEOWIECAKES IS SO CUTE, SHE ALSO DID THE BNHA KIRIBAKU PLAYTHROUGH, EVERYONE SHOULD GO WATCH HER VIDS! :D

[chocodevs]

Just arrived back from TwitchCon and met the guys from Klei Entertainment! They’re super rad. One day, I hope to be as awesome as them when making games.

[chocodevs]

Not dead! 

I got a new job (and a promotion!) and had to wait for approval from my bosses to continue working on games. :D 

I’ll be posting an update soon!

Vers 1.3.1 Update - A Blastastic Love Story: KiriBaku by Choco

By golly, this has been a long time coming. The grading bug should finally be fixed after this. Crossing my fingers now.

[chocodevs]

Well I am extremely stumped. No matter what I do I get a C the first day every time! ;o; I've played over and over and even found the cheat sheet. any hints?

This is actually a bug. I’m investigating the cause at the moment, a new update should be out shortly! Sorry for the inconvenience!

PSA

People rehosting my games (The Way Home, A Blastastic Love Story, and Husbando Rater) on their own websites need to not do that.

itch.io is the only place I’m uploading games and if you’ve downloaded anything of mine from anywhere other than itch, please go to itch in the future. I understand that I can’t stop people from rehosting, but please don’t do it.

Vers 1.3 Update

Fixed various bugs that prevented you from scoring anything except an A for your class grade. Now grades work as they're supposed to and the bad ending is achievable.

GIFTING FEATURE IS GOOD TO GO! 8} 

Bakugou looks so offended when you give him something he doesn’t like. 

[chocodevs]

TO DO

FIGURE OUT WHICH CHARACTERS ARE SHOWING UP AND WHO CAN YOU GIVE THINGS TO so i can assign some values to the items for who prefers what and things like that oooh gosh my code is a mess

Currently gift-able: -Bakugou (decided to not change and keep Kirishima as the PC) -Deku -Sero -Ashido -Kaminari

The above are 100% appearing and have planned roles. There are other characters, but I’m undecided on if I want them to be gift-able or not. I’m still undecided about a large majority of the characters that I want appearing because it means...I have to draw them.............and I’m a lazy af potato. 

[chocodevs]

:V 

Maybe...the players would control Bakugou in this game? The further along I get into the development, the more things begin to...make more sense for Bakugou to be the MC. Originally I had Kirishima planned to be the player controlled character, and everything is still kind of working around that, but...hmm.

Someone be my rubber duck.
