My game is out!

August Ends is a short story RPG Maker game with supernatural elements that centres around cooking. It takes place over the span of a week in late summer and follows the monotonous daily routine of a woman living alone in the woods, isolated save for her trips to an abandoned shrine deep among the trees.

❀ 1 ending.

❀ Play Time: 40min ~ 1 hour

❀ Not all possible options are obvious.

August Ends is the first game I've ever made and was in development for seven months. I hope you enjoy!

We did it

We made a game with a two-person development in the game competition. I've invested a whole month, and it's been a tough time. There will be bugs, but I'm glad we finished it.

Since the competition was hosted in Korea, there is no English translation, but after the competition, we will refine it and distribute it here as well.

It was a hard time…

Historically, the high technical entry barriers to publishing one's own work has left indie video games vulnerable to allegations of "programmer art": that is, a tendency for the audiovisuals to be created by people who don't know what they're doing because "real" artists are barred from the medium by lack of technical know-how.

In this sense, it's heartening to see that coding one's own game has become sufficiently accessible in the past decade or so that we're finally seeing the fruits of the natural yet historically largely unattested-to counterpart to programmer art: artist programming.

A friend of mine has all the art and a good chunk of the script done for their VN project and didn't know what an if statement was until a few weeks ago. XD

Artists out there reinventing functional programming from first principles because nobody ever explained to them what conditional execution is.

and so this august is wasted.

happy one year and one month anniversary to august ends, my first game ever! got busy with schoolwork so i missed the actual date but i really wanted to draw something to commemorate it.

august ends has a special place in my heart, to an extent that i probably won't talk about any time soon. i'd like to revisit it some time in the future.

wishing a happy birthday to my clumsy, fumbling first attempt at something.
