Hello! Welcome to the official it’s just business project/devlog page! My name is Minisquachi3, I’m the creator and thank you for viewing the following page. I hope that you enjoy your time, and hey, if you like what you see feel free to follow!

This following post is to help ensure those who stop by have a clear understanding about phew things when it comes the following blog, and especially specifically project.

[About It’s Just Business]

It’s just Business (or IJB for short) is a passion project that means very dearly to me that I’ve been working on for a long time now. Specifically, IJB is a series and the main series. It’ll side scroller, visual novel made in RPG (mv) maker game. That will (eventually) have seasons and episodic like chapters.

Overall to keep things vague and short, it’s a Syfi murder mystery with comedic elements that takes place in late 80’s to 90’s inspired setting!

——————————————————

>Premise:

“The world is being taken over by technology, is advancing in ways like nothing anyone has seen before! Cameron (our main character) use to be inventor, luck has run dried. Having left him with no choice but to become a High school teacher. Newer technology though has been misbehaving and not reacting the way it should… Taking advantage of this opportunity, follow main character as he goes to investigate in hopes to revive his once dream.”

——————————————————

That being said…

Currently however, I’m actually working on the prequel for IJB called Summer Long. It’ll be one game, one season. This is what I’ll be posting currently.

[About Summer Long]

Summer Long is the only prequel game, and the current installment that I’m working for IJB. I’ll be posting about this the most on this blog.

It takes place in a smaller town far from the city, deep down in the swamps. The events of this game take place before the main series, it will also provide a fun perspective going into the main series if you play this first. It follows a young man named Benny, a very close childhood friend of Cameron. In IJB you learn nothing about his past or story. This is because since the events that take place in this Summer Long, he (Benny) has long since been missing. The game follows the events leading up to that very moment.

This game will have less Syfi elements and more horror, with of course still a side of a fun murder and mystery. Instead of 80’s to 90’s feel it will have a very 70’s inspired vibe for its setting!

I won’t say anything much more about this story & plot since, as mentioned I’m currently working on this one!

[Content and Dark Themes]

Lastly the most important thing to keep in mind, this in the end of the day. Both the main series, and the prequel will have themes of murder in its story. They will also contain both blood, death, and sometimes violence.

Meaning, especially summer long, both will contain dark themes.

So… I cannot stress this enough, that this series as a whole, including the prequel, is intended for Mature Audiences only!

Note, that no matter what, if your worried, any content, and TW will always be provided on the main download game page, and in the game itself!

Screenshots of one of my stories/game stuff I’m working on!!! 👀👀

Since this I have done/finished the boxed area that’s suppose to be the elevator. I just have to add more stuff and animate it. So it’s not completely finished as of yet

[its-justa-blog]

For those wondering, I’ve mentally been not great especially cause of my current job being very overwhelmingly stressful. Finally gotten some time though to work on some summer long stuff especially story wise!! So apologies for the lack of updates on my other blog.

I do really wanna make this a real thing I’ve just been… struggling so to say haha

I WILL SAY, the biggest thing I’ve done lately was a test with another game to see. If you sing regular pen digital art wise rather then pixel. For RPG maker assets would look better, help? HAS. They look great, not blurry.

Reason why this would help is this saves me sm more time and makes it easier to draw stuff/assets I need! Like I can’t stress enough how big and important this is. Really truly is so nice that it turned out great, cause this will save me so much work

[its-justa-blog]

Okay so, semi update:

Though I do have references images I drew for Cameron and Benny for the prequel a while back. I have a new pen and some tweaks I wanna make to their design after some lore stuff I wish to make.

Also to I wanna try and give IJB and Summer Long a special version of my art style to give it a semi vintage feel visually. Like I’ll try to, I’ve attempted in the past so I’ll again to see if it works out/if I like it.

OH- Which btw I’ll be referring to these version of Cameron and some others by Y!Cameron! The “Y!” stands for and is my shorter way of saying without having to type it, “young cameron.” Since the idea for the prequel was created after IJB, and their designs in summer long are their younger version of themselves. Based on OG present designs where their adults.

It makes it easier for me and avoids hopefully less confusion in the future. I’ll avoid sharing what they actually look like present time as a fun surprise for y’all coming into the prequel first

Like said on my main, this looks incredibly ugly rn, I can promise you this project does exist. I just have work so I haven’t had the time to make art etc.

This is also important to note for future. I’m the only person working on this. This is a passion project. I have part time job and college so when I have the time I’ll try and work it. Hopefully this blog if it does well people can help boost my confidence to keep doing so as well :’)
