This project is not dead, in fact I have gotten a lot done in the time I've been gone! However, HNY is going on an indefinite hiatus. The project itself was far too big for a first project and, being completely inexperienced, I have to take things very slow.
I am working on other projects in the meantime and will DEFINITELY be coming back to HNY when I feel more confident in my abilities (perhaps even with a new name!). If you want to follow my progress on other projects, you can find me @sgtbabyhands (mostly active on Twitter as SGT_Babyhands)! While I may not be working on game development for a while, I will be practicing from time to time. I will still be drawing HNY and it's characters, which I may reblog to this blog on occasion! I love this project dearly and, while I will be gone a long time, I will still be ever so slowly adding and tweaking things. It's a project that is near and dear to my heart.
Thank you so much for following the development of HELLO NEW YOU and I look forward to coming back to this project as soon as I comfortably can!
AN UPDATE - September 14, 2017: Character featured: The main character of the game!.. Who's name is still being debated... Plus a sneak peek at a little concept art of a friend! Hello! Progress on story, themes, and assets are currently moving slowly.... But moving nonetheless! Development will still be very slow for roughly 4-8 months due to mostly financial struggles.. But I do still very much plan to work on this project and allow it to grow. Thank you all for sticking with me and I hope this blog can start posting more often soon! I have also started an Instagram page dedicated to the development of the game as well, @ HELLO.NEW.YOU. While most everything will be posted here as well, that page will likely feature additional art for the game. Thank you for following the development of HELLO NEW YOU!
Unfortunately, I have had technical and personal difficultiesā¦ A major part of my issues is the loss of my laptop. So, sadly, not much work has been done outside of working on story, writing down ideas, and traditionally drawing and working on characters.
I hope to share characters and concepts drawn traditionally soon! Progress was halted for a little while, but I hope to share more progress soon!
Images: The MC of the game has changed a ton! I hope to share more about him sometime soon!
Thank you for following the development for HELLO NEW YOU.
Long time, no post! Hello everyone. I apologize for the extreme lack of development in the past few months. Work and other projects have simply kept me busy and I haven't made much progress on the game other than small character development and figuring out a bit more of the plot. Sometime today or tomorrow I will be making a post with some art of some of the characters. I do wish to put more of my focus into this game, but as a one-person side project, it won't be as often as I would like. Progress will be very slow until probably fall-winter of this year or 2018. My finances are my biggest concern, but once I am stable and have time to do so, there will be much more focus on this project. Thank you for following the development of HELLO NEW YOU.
Late night concept mouse doodle of the MC! Didnāt exactly intend this to be his first appearance, but I gotta start somewhere (more āofficial lookingā art will come sometime next month). The MC currently does NOT have a name. The above is simply a late night doodle of his current designs.
MC has a double life. But nothing cool like a āspyā or an āassassin.ā At home, he is quiet, secluded, and generally treated poorly by his family. On his free days, he is... Perhaps a performer? Like this, he is his ātrue selfā and his personality is completely opposite of his ānormalā personality.
HELLO NEW YOU is a work in progress game by SGT-Babyhands. The above post has information subject to change along the way.
Thank you for following the development of HELLO NEW YOU.
I am in EXTREMELY early stages (still working on plot and all of the character designs)! I plan on giving this blog a theme shortly and post a little bit about the game that I have roughly planned so far.
THE INFORMATION BELOW THE READ MORE IS OLD, BUT STILL RELEVANT INFORMATION. Please take note āApril 1stā used to be āHello New Youāās old title. The text below was written on the spot and there will of course be information that becomes out-dated. When the time comes, I will make an official FAQ page for the game.
Thank you,
@sgt-babyhands
Heyyo. Not much here right now, but Iāll set things up in time. Iām an artist ( @sgt-babyhands ) working to make an RPGMaker horror(?) game.
Unfortunately, I am inexperienced in game making in general. As time goes by, I hope to learn and create and improveā¦ But, for April 1st, being its my first game, I am going to be looking for programmers and pixel artist and possibly a music composer.
Of course, this post is only temporary for anyone who happens upon it. I will be making an official post in due time, so please do not offer any help as of this post. I appreciate it EXTREMELY, but this is just a heads up.
The game itself has a likelyhood of being a horror game, but as of now, I will not be releasing anything about the game.
I will announce when I start actual work on the game over on my linked blog. My brand name is Babyhands / SGT. Babyhands.
I will make a post when I need to look for volunteersā¦ I say volunteers simply because Iām broke. Iām currently 19 and all money I make needs to go to supporting my family. So if anyone were to think about helping out, please keep in mind I would be unable to provide any sort of payment.
Thank you and I do hope the development will go smoothly. Development will probably start later this year or early 2017 as I am currently very busy with other things. In the mean time, I hope to learn many new things in hopes I do not need to seek volunteers. There is no estimated completion date.
I do plan for the game to have a new feel every time you play. Dialogue or options that you probably missed or chose not to pick. New routes. A LOT of optional dialogueā¦ All around good times.
But then again, thatās only what I hope to happen. As its my first game, it may just end up being a short game with maybe two endings. Who knows.
Now, if you happened upon this temporary postā¦.. I have no idea how you did itā¦ But hi hello welcome to the jam.
I will probably set up this blogs them sometime this month (September)ā¦. Maybe.. And provide the main characterās design and update from there. Most early updates will just be art considering thatās all Iām good at currently. Iām learning music composition and I plan to make a damn good soundtrack.
