Hello this is the Doll's House devlog. A horror puzzle game.

[dolls-house-devlog]

░░░𖤐⋆Welcome to my devlog!⋆𖤐░░░░

𖤐⋆Hello! Hello! I'm Demonblooded they/she/it! ⋆𖤐

This is a project I've been working off and on since I was about 14ish (I'm in my 20s now)

Because of mental health and very traumatic things happening in my life off and on, I've restarted this project many, many times.

But that's ok because I'm working on it again and that makes me happy and hopefully I finish the game and those who care may play it.

So what is Doll's House? Doll's House is a RPGmaker horror game, because I love RPGmaker style horror games. The game is all centered around the Doll Killer after she drags you into her house to play her little puzzle games.

I welcome questions about the project as that helps to keep me motivated so please if you have any questions about the characters or game I will try and respond! (Some may be saved till after the games release for spoiler reasons!)𖤐⋆~

Link to the project on Itch! Demo v0.0.1 out now!

Throne here!

I know I haven't posted in awhile I'm still working on this game. It's just between work and life things get busy.

Images and notes Minami sometimes get's letters from the people she's helped. Sometimes she puts them on her pinboard with her family photos

Also posting here because I've been bad about that lately. Not game related, but she is the main character lol. I might draw some of the other characters with this same background too it's cute lol

Making a trello for Doll's House to help guide me a bit more in making the game lol

[dolls-house-devlog]

New talk sprites!

Remaking Minami's talk sprites! Also might work on some secondary ones (like one with her arms crossed)

[dolls-house-devlog]

Hmmm yes dead fish, least of your worries here. . .

[dolls-house-devlog]

For some images in Doll's House I draw them really big like this one and then I shrink them down to useable size for in game

Makes it a little easier to get all the details I want in some pieces! Sometimes after shrinking I may add some extra things to make it look better, for example this is a poster so I gave it a white border and some extra highlights over the entire piece like it's on reflective paper :3

Is it really a horror game without a moment like this?

[dolls-house-devlog]

I love these stupid jokes where you do something small and stupid several times lol

[dolls-house-devlog]

I learned my game program allows me to use text symbols I am totally going to abuse this fact lol

[dolls-house-devlog]

Oh what secrets can be found in memories long forgotten or long wounding.

[dolls-house-devlog]

Ever feel like you're being watched?

[dolls-house-devlog]

Redid the theater room because why I like it I thought I could do better. So now it's graduated to terrifying.

Made it better/worse
