We Make Dem Games!

Sketches for the graphs for the battle HUD on this ongoing YuGiOh fangame thing, and I  guess now it’s obvious that these losers transform when going into battle lol

These are obviously subject to change once I start polishing them up for the HUD. Also Mako is magical offense and Rex is physical offense, I just forgot to specify that lol

[ghostglow-productions]

A couple concept sketches for some of the monsters I wanna add to my RPG game. I’m trying to mix a bunch of different kinds of monsters, from supernatural to scary to cute, since the settings you can fight in all differ from each other and I want the monsters to reflect that.

This is nowhere near the amount of monsters the game will have, but it’s a good starting point for someone who never drew monsters in her life lol

[ghostglow-productions]

Facesets for Espa and Ryota are DONE, and I can finally start working on the intro to the game proper, and other more technical, boring stuff lol

I’ll tag these with the game’s name once I stop being mysterious about it!

[ghostglow-productions]

So, these were SUPER TRICKY to make, but I did it! I made sprites for all these four losers, and since they came out so nice, I’m here to tell you guys you are free to snatch those for whatever project you wanna do, maybe??? as stated in the image up there, they are for VX Ace, but I believe you can make them work for regular VX as well??? I dunno!

Also, you are more than welcome to edit these, change things around, use parts of these on your own creations, GO WILD! If you do use these “as is” for whatever project, credit would be nice, but not mandatory (credit either this blog or UkiTheMaid and you are GOLDEN).

I also put them in a zip file so their quality isn’t lost due to bullshit tumblr compression! You can get them via this handy dandy link!

Speaking of links, you can always support me on ko-fi, if you like what I do :3c

Wow, I haven’t been here in forever, hm???

But heya! I’m not dead, and I’m still pursuing my dream to make games! And because I have zero attention span, I started another thing while putting Golden Flower on hold (not permanent hold, i want to at least get a demo out of that, for sure!)

Right now though, I’m thinking about making something on RPG Maker after years of messing around with it and never making anything of real substance in it.

It’s in essence a YuGiOh fangame thing, and while I don’t want to give away TOO much about what I want out of it, plot wise, I can say that it’ll involve everyone’s favorite losers aka Haga, Ryuzaki, Esper and Ryota! And it’ll be very shippy and very silly (and have very little to do with card games) and I hope I can do something entertaining!

So, here I am showcasing the facesets for Ryu and Haga, and also some sprites (don’t notice the generic map lol), and while Ryu’s sprite needs to be finished, I’m quite happy with how Haga is, so I miiiight not change it.

Stay tuned for more stuffs about this!

Remember The Golden Flower? Guess who’s going back to it???

The main concept remains the same, HOWEVER, instead of blatantly making it about Undertaker and Goldust in the monster AU, I decided to turn this into a more “OC oriented” tale.

Everything will remain the same in terms of personalities, sprites and whatnot (and heck, I’ll still blatantly admit I based the characters out of them) but for all effects these are “original characters donut steal”.

I’ve made some small improvements to the intro, since it felt a little too short and not informative enough for people not into the whole monster AU concept (and even if I were to stick with the idea of straight up using Goldust and Taker, I needed these since this is an AU I developed with friends).

Also, been hard at work trying to implement the store system in the game, and once that’s done all the technicalities will be out of the way and I’ll be able to focus a lot more on the story and the interactions between the newly named Cain and Goldie (yes, Goldie, I have zero creativity for names pls end my suffering).

I’m thinking about releasing a demo as soon as I get the following in place:

A background for Cain’s bedroom

Some small sprites I’ll be adding for flavor

The store system all set up proper

The first important custscene

With that said, I’m excited to be working on this again!

Taking a detour from Earth Boys to work on this project, which is going to likely help me figure out the basics of Ren’py better before I tackle that.

The Golden Flower (working title) is another WWE centric fan-game I’m doing, based on an AU I developed, about Undertaker being a gardener and Goldust being a mystical, rare flower that blooms on his garden one day.

Basically, the gameplay consists of taking care of Goldie and getting him to grow healthy. It’s going to be a light hearted, fun thing, with a few touches of ecchi content here in there, but nothing explicit (more like innuendos and heavy flirting, some making out if you do things well *wink wink*).

I’m really motivated about this, and some friends of mine are helping me stay focused on this project!

Earth Boys Are (Not) Easy - Main Project Post!

Basic Premise

You are Vikkapie, one of the many denizens from the planet Swawethea, situated in the Lyra Polystratus system, and, at the moment, your planet is going through a serious crisis! Your kind is suffering from having a very limited (and dare we say weak) genetic pool, and all the neighboring alien races seem to have it better than you.

But, alas! You have an ace up your sleeve! Something the other races never considered: Earth!

You studied Earth for as long as you can remember, as it was always a fascinating planet, in your opinion. And you have a pretty solid and vast knowledge of its inhabitants, geography, language, history and, most importantly: their mating habits!

After extensive research, you and a couple other graduates on Foreign Civilization Studies found two suitable suitors on Earth that could aid in expanding and improving your pool with some very much needed fresh genes. And now, you are tasked with going to Earth, blend in and, hopefully, come back with a “sample” from one of the two candidates – whichever you find more suitable for your race's needs!

(( FOLLOW THE READ MORE FOR: more plot info, character info, character art, links and much more! ))

What The Game Is About?

In essence, this game is a Dating Sim where you play as the alien-in-disguise Vikkapie, and you have to pick between two “human specimens” which one you want to charm, so you can bring their genetic coding back to your home planet. To bring said genetic material, you are expected to mate with one of those humans. Naturally, this is a lot easier said than done, since even though Vikkapie’s kind scanned for the optimal suitors, they are both a little hard to handle, on their own way. Luckily, Vik is given a generous time to accomplish their mission. However, you can’t stay on Earth forever, so the clock is ticking and Vik’s race depends on their success! Can they breed on time, or is their kind doomed to be the laughing stock of their galaxy?

Features (That Will Hopefully Make It!)

2 dateable characters

2 (or more??) endings for each character

Cute, well made CGs (as well made I can make them!)

Genre: a good balance between sweet/cute and serious

Simple point system (your choices matter!)

Modern day setting (aka THE YEAR 20XX)

Characters (click the names for basic sprites)

Vikkapie – The Undercover Alien

Vik is a very energetic young one! They are excitable, highly curious and fun loving, but also manage to be responsible when they’re required to be. They studied Earth for many years at Swawethea academy, and has a very big understanding of human behavior, but finer aspects of humankind are lost on them, which might lead to a lot of embarrassing moments when they need to deal with the suitors they are charged with attracting and mating with. They take their mission very seriously though, and are determined to bring back what’s needed to their planet. But, can they separate their own personal feelings from their task?

Nicolas Holt – A Gentle Giant

Nicolas comes from a family with a heavily religious background, but he couldn’t care less about religion even if he tried. He’s far more interested in running his flower shop and taking care of his plants, which seem to be his only company in this world. Quiet and a little shy, he speaks softly for his size, and seems almost cold and distant, at first. But he’s actually friendly. You just need to get him to open up. Which is pretty dang hard. He also has a very over-protective father and has a somewhat 'love-hate' relationship with his younger brother.

Main traits of interest for Vik's race:

Improved Sight

Good Memory

Size

Ross Druimen – Small and Angry

Ross has a Scottish heritage, and his behavior shows it. Quick to anger and ready for a brawl at any time, he’s not the type of guy you mess with, no matter how short you think he is. Oh yeah, and don’t ever call him short. He’s very self conscious about his height. He works at a local bar, and clearly loves his job – almost as much as he loves kicking out annoying patrons. Despite his angry demeanor, he’s quite friendly, if you can make it through the super rude front he puts up for everyone.

Main traits of interest for Vik's race:

Strength

Resiliency

Speed

Development (So Far!)

General Story Outline: pretty much 90% done at this point. I got a clear idea on how the basic plot will play out for both romanceable characters. Which means that I know how the general storyline between Vik and them will go, depending on whether or not it goes good or bad. Art Assets: Just the basic sprites are done by now (I just need to add shading to them, as you all can clearly see). Will be working on varied expressions/emotions next! This is my priority now, because having these art assets in place will allow me to focus on the story more. Also, gotta work on a design for the alien version of Vik... Scripting/Programming: Yeah, got almost nothing done on that. Will get back to you in a moment about this………

Some Extra Stuff

So, this is basically “Baby’s First Dating Sim”, which is why I’ve only picked two love interests. I was afraid that, if I were to pick more, I would be demotivated by the work load and end up not finishing it. I would rather have something small that will be finished + teach me how to work with the nitty gritty of Ren’py than something too big and ambitious that will just gather dust forever.

The game would work on a “day by day” system, only it won’t show EVERY SINGLE DAY of the character’s lives, because that would be immensely boring. The only part I plan on making it day by day is the first five days or so, because then you can have a feel of how the dateable characters are and make your decision on that (I’m planning on like, making it so when you decide on one guy on the fifth day, the option to keep interacting with the other suitor is closed). It's also important to note that humans don't know bout the existence of aliens, and this is one of the key plot points, the further you go into the story (can't tell much about that otherwise I'll be giving away spoilers!)

Also, I’m working on this all on my own, and it’s likely it’ll stay that way (I might end up having help from my bae, but mostly on plot and whatnot). Although, I’m very open for suggestions and critique, and I’ll be updating this post with progress and some other stuffs 

There’s a lot on the personalities of Ross and Nicolas that I didn’t really describe, because otherwise it’ll ruin the fun of “getting to know them” in game (which is a very important part of the whole experience). So, if they look a little bland, well, they are a lot more than meets the eye! And, they are hard to know for different reasons: Nicolas, because he's really distant and cold to everyone around, and Ross because he almost always comes off as rude and ends up warding off people.

Oh, and despite the fact there’s “breeding talk” in the main plot, the game is not NSFW in the least. The most that happens is some heavy make outs, and some heavy suggestion of sexy times. I love me some smut, but I don’t really feel like including it heavily in this project.

Testing the waters with a text box made by MY OWN TWO HANDS (it’s kinda boring looking but it was the best I could do for now XD) and seeing how the characters fit on the screen. They looking FINE!

[nuxill]

I don’t know if anyone will find these useful but I made some textboxes today that you could possibly use in renpy/novelty/whatever the heck people use as text boxes?

if you wanna use them go ahead no need to credit or anything. 

I might try making NVL versions of these tomorrow and/or make some extra colors 

[defeatthedarkness]

If I didn’t have a tileset:

[ghostglow-productions]

Finally, finished the base sprites for my work in progress VN!! (of course I still need to shade these, but damn, I feel good about making so much progress on these!)

From left to right: Vikkapie (the protag!), Nicolas (tol love interest!) and Ross (smol love interest!).

I’m so excited about this! Now I need to shade these + make different emotion sprites!

[ghostglow-productions]

A couple “before and after” screenshots of a current project I’m working on in RPG Maker. Hanging around the forums is being great help!

[ghostglow-productions]

Messing about and making faces for a maybe upcoming RPG maker project???

These are three of the four main protags, they are all female.

[ghostglow-productions]

Put all the flat colors and lineart on the main protag of my VN :D

I need a name for this project, so I can tag things for it accordingly...

[ghostglow-productions]

GUESS WHO FIGURED OUT HOW TO ADD SIDE PICTURES???? Sure I need to make the images smaller or figure out how you put the text a little more to the right, but IT’S THERE.

It was a lot easier than anticipated, and I’m very excited to use this!! I also seem to have figured out how a point system works, FINALLY.

This isn’t really a game this is just me messing around with art I had lying around here and coding!

[ghostglow-productions]

The three main characters are DONE! Maybe a part of their designs might change clothing wise, but for now this is the STUFF.

Quick elaboration here now that the three characters are out the bag: the one on the left is the protag, and is actually an ALIEN IN DISGUISE. They are also agender.

The other two are the “love interests”. The one in the middle works at a flower shop and loves gardening and is very sweet and gentle, despite his huge size. The one on the right is smol and angry and I can’t decide if I want him to work at a bar or if maybe he works at a butcher’s shop??? I want butcher shop because is very out the norm.

Anyways, Ill deliberate more on the plot and these three once I get more stuff done in that regard. In the meantime LOVE MY CHILDREN!!!
