Paw Prints by Colorpuff, Misha, Jeblyfish

Lost in a dream in the middle of snowy nowhere, you stumble upon a lone library and the cat people living within.

After a month of work, Paw Prints is up on the Winter VN Jam page

Working with @mishantics and @jeblyfish has been wonderful, and I hope everyone has fun playing!

We're almost there 👀

[paw-prints-vn]

Only 3 days left (technically two since I'm posting this past midnight whoops)

I'm done coding all the minigames *perishes*

All that's left is for Misha is to finish up the gui so I can stick it in and make sure everything's aligned and still working

[paw-prints-vn]

Inching closer and closer to completion!

I did another sizeable addition to the script (At this point I'm wondering if I'll wake up next month sweating thinking about changing it again rip)

Jeb is all done with the last background! Three cheers for Jeb!!

[paw-prints-vn]

Still chipping away at putting everything into renpy, I'm aiming to get as close to done by the 28th so I can get people to play test it before submission day!

Misha and Jeb are still hard at work with the final bits of art. All in all we're chugging along nicely \（ ⌒▽⌒ ）/

"You're our… guest, I suppose."

Our last character intro is Kiran's! They really would've left you out in the snow if it weren't for Yona. Don't worry though, now that you're under their care he'll see to it until the end.

"Let’s start with the basics!"

Here comes Yona! According to Hui and Kiran, she's the big boss who runs the place. Sleep calls to her at every hour of the day, but she'll be sure to set you on your way.

Last but not the least will be Kiran!

I have encoded the script into renpy! Huzzah!

I expect that I might have to edit things once the beta readers roll around but that's still a major thing off my to-do list.

[paw-prints-vn]

"Are you lost?"

First up is Hui, as promised. Technically the first encounter, but the last one you get to speak to. His disappearing acts may be off-putting, but they promise that it's all for good reason.

Up next is Yona!

Wowza there's more people all of a sudden O_O

Hello hello to all you folks who came from interact-if's reblog, thanks for stopping by! Hope you'll enjoy Paw Prints once it out ^_^

[paw-prints-vn]

Starting to stick everything into renpy! By golly it is taking longer than I expected. It's fun to see everything coming together though.

Updated intro post! Woot-woot 🕺🕺

[paw-prints-vn]

Rewrite finished! It's off to be beta read now. Goodness, I really hope the second time's the charm.

In other news, I have passed the job of making the UI onto Misha because who knew, graphic design is not my passion 😆
