Preview of my future games! (●´ω｀●)

Last few years haven’t been kind to me, so I didn’t feel too motivated to make New Year Resolution or Game Previews lately, but I’ve sorted out my feelings, and I haven’t been this excited for my upcoming games in a while, so here goes nothing~

1) I hope to finish Anicon - Animal Complex - Rabbit’s Path this July. It’s pure coincidence that I finished both Cat and Sheep in July 2016 and 2018 respectively, so I might as well do the same for Rabbit!

2) If possible, I would also like to finish Final Frame this year. This one is a bit harder, and I’m not sure if I could make it, but I’ll do my best. If not, I hope for early next year.

3) Last but not least, Silent-X! I hope to make significant progress this year. I’m aiming for 2021 release.

4) I plan to release more digital artbook this year!

5) Update my Patreon more often! The current plan is twice a week update!

6) I hope to expand on other places such as Youtube, Instagram, Etsy, whatever social media I can find, etc. I hope they can get more people to know we exist~ (σ‾▿‾)-σ

7) Learn new software!

8) Be healthy! Like seriously, I need to be 100% GERD free! ಥ_ಥ

That’s all for now! I’m not even sure if I can finish all, but I hope to at least do more than half of them this year!

Thank you for reading! Happy 2020! Hope it will be a good year for everyone!

Hello! Just wanted to say I love your games, and after replaying the Sheep's path, I'm so excited to play the Rabbit's path! Are you till going to release it in July of this year? Your website says 2021, so I figured I'd ask.

Sadly, despite how much I tried, I don’t think I can release it this year, so I decided to push it back to next year. It’s my fault since I’m working on 3 games at the same time ^^;;; 

But thank you for asking. It always makes me happy hearing people look forward to my games! I’ll do my best to get it done next year!

Game Update~

It’s been a while since the last update. I’ve been hibernating from social media (minus Twitter and Patreon), mostly because whenever I’m in working mode, I just can’t update my social media. I totally suck at multi-tasking. ^^;;;

In any case, we have made quite a lot of progress with our games, so I thought it’s about time I show off some of our progress~

FINAL FRAME

I’ve already finished the GUI design and the first part of the prologue is done. Nitarou is currently working on making character poses and backgrounds. Although we originally planned to use photographs for the backgrounds, we have decided to paint over them so they will look more presentable. The downside to this is it takes a longer time to make, but so far it looks great. I’m also super happy with the music I chose for this game, and everything is coming together nicely.

Current target: Finishing the Prologue before the end of this month! Aiming to release: Some time in 2020

ANICON - ANIMAL COMPLEX - RABBIT’S PATH

So far, we have finished the opening, bought all the soundtrack, finished a few new sprites and backgrounds. I’m aiming to make this one a bit more different than Cat and Sheep in the hope of keeping the path fresh. It’s also the finale of Anicon Introvert, so the story will be a bit more serious.

Current Target: Finishing the month of June before the end of this year! Aiming to release: Some time in 2020

SILENT-X

Last but not least, Silent-X! We have finally officially started making the game. I’ve finished the title screen (attempted 3 times just to get the illustration right). We have also finished 2 sprites and 3 backgrounds. I have to give more direction to Nitarou for this one since it involves a lot of urban areas which, unfortunately, is not Nitarou’s forte. In spite of that, I’m aiming to make this our best game yet, so I’m making sure it’s as polished as I can make it be.

Current Target: Finishing GUI design before end of this year! Aiming to release: Some time in 2021

That’s all for this update! Thank you for reading (and patient with my lack of updates)... Hope you all stay happy and healthy! \(◦'⌣'◦)/

What to expect~

Some brief explanations about what will be in my upcoming games, so you can pick and choose the ones that suit you most. (I’LL BE SUPER HAPPY IF YOU GET THEM ALL...)

FINAL FRAME

- About 90% story, 10% gameplay. Word count estimated to be 70-100k. About the length of X-note or Dragon Essence and possibly longer. - Story-wise it is a traditional murder mystery with some supernatural element, but the cases themselves are grounded in real life. (Like Danganronpa, Phoenix Wright.) - Atmosphere-wise it is going to be dark and serious. It’s about as scary as your standard murder mystery. Horror is not the main theme, but you need to be able to tolerate blood and death. - It does have silly moments the way X-note and Area-X are. - It does have romance, but they are all implied. - There are 14 characters with 14 epilogues that you can unlock by choosing the correct choices. - There are 3 cases. They are related to each other to form a bigger case in the end. - There will be 2 endings, though it’s more like Phoenix Wright where there is only one way to go and the other is game over. - The gameplay is camera and photo-related. You collect evidence by taking photos and use them as evidence. - Difficulty-wise is easy to moderate. Even if you don’t know the answer, simple trial and error will eventually get you the right answer. - This will be the first game I made that is 16:9 widescreen resolution.

ANICON - ANIMAL COMPLEX - RABBIT’S PATH

- About 90% story, 10% gameplay. Word count estimated to be 30-40k. The same length with other paths, though I expect it to be more like Sheep than Cat. - Story-wise it is going to be cute, funny, romantic (hopefully, lol), and emotional. - Rabbit’s path deals with something I myself also have, so it’s also more personal. - You will finally get to meet Snail’s human form! (Yay?) - There will be 3 endings just like other paths: Normal, Good, and Special endings. - The gameplay is collecting presents which you can gift to Rabbit and see his reactions. You can get tickets from cleaning the rooms and used them to play some mini-games to win the presents. All of this is optional, but they can unlock funny scenes and achievements. - Difficulty-wise easy. Maybe not so easy to unlock everything, but to get the endings should be easy. SILENT-X

- About 85% story, 15% gameplay. Word count estimated to be 100k+. I’m hoping to be in-between of X-note and Area-X. - Story-wise is romance, mystery, and thriller. Plot twist galore incoming. - It also has murders, deaths and messed up stuff. - It has bar, mafia, gangs, Pizza Hut, assassins, police, and messed up stuff. - It has minor connections to X-note and Area-X (especially Area-X), but in general, it is a brand new story that can be enjoyed by newcomers. - It has 4 love interests. You need to finish the first 3 before unlocking the last one. Just like Area-X Sky path, the last path will answer all the mysteries. - It has 9 endings, keeping in line with the tradition. Also, don’t come into this thinking everything will end in sunshine and rainbow (go play Anicon instead). Don’t worry, it’s not going to be a tragedy either. I like my bittersweet endings. - All the characters of Area-X will make a return here. (except for one dude who is not present in the finale. Go play Natural instead.) - The gameplay is managing the bar. You can collect recipes for cocktails or come up with new recipes. (You bet I’m going to make Syrene say “I’ve come up with a new recipeh.) Feed the customers with the correct drinks and they will talk to you. - There will also be some other minor gameplay, like asking Belph to play piano for you, hunting at night, etc. - Difficulty wise moderate. If you can handle X-note and Area-X, you probably can handle this. If all else fails, there will be a free guide on my site as usual.

That’s all for now. I’ll expand on them more in the future~

P.S: All 3 have Mirage Fish, so I hope that thing is not a deal-breaker...
