I finished all of henrys sprites and made placeholder sprites for todd

After I finish all of henrys routes (romantic, platonic and the bad end) (plus the like overall bad end and mayb some others idk) I'll release the first demo version of the game on itch.io.

I have the page set up with two early prototype builds but there's like no content theyre pretty much just tests.

DEAR WII DELETED YOU FANS

I fell out of my wdy obsession for awhile but now I got bored and wanna make a visual novel so im planning to make one!! (have some of the base code down)

I want this to be able to cater to all wii deleted you fans so im thinkin up a LOT of endings that will be added overtime, basically it will be a WIP type thing. I'll release it when the base 5 endings are done and then add updates from there.

This is like a dating sim where you work at nintendo of america in 2006, and basically it's a chance for every self inserter to like indulge in their fantasy (me included) of like working there and doing some shit.

The base plan for the game is: Route for Henry, Austin, Todd, Mike and Johnathan (main 5 routes on release.) Then I wanna see if I can make platonic routes for those familial yumeshippers out there or those who just wanna be friends with tha wii deleted you men (i see u), and in platonic routes mayb u can get characters together (I'm planning mayb johnmike and henstein if i can even code that shit)

Also I might add sam and kyle (MAYBE nathan and will) in the future as platonic routes. Don't ask how that will work lorewise idk.

Mayb its just an AU where nothing goes wrong and kyle is just a moody teen instead of traumatized and like him and nathan had different drama that happened and shit idk.

Its not goanna be all sunshine and rainbows bc im goanna have bad endings where like henry still kills austin and then gets electrocuted or just generally failing so bad you make them hate you or ruin a ship? uh.

I might need to make a burner ko-fi acc or just rebrand my old patreon bc i wanna start making vns for my fav fandoms like this bc we ALL be fallin in love with random characters and if i dont do this who will.

Anyways, be prepared (unless i loose intrest, ill try not to tho bc the coding is easy in renpy and i can always change dialouge later so)

(its goanna be no color im too lazy for allat)

WDY dating sim dev log like 4?

So I finished the first part of henrys route!

Henry has all his default sprites done aswell.

things ive added/worked on since the last post:

Made the script go until lunch break so far

Johnathan, Mike, and Todd placeholder sprites (theyre so goofy looking help)

Figured out how to move sprites to the left and right

new cursor and added some more music tracks.

added the backround for the players office

and that's all I can think of!

(You can also have one positive and one negative interaction with Todd now)

Before I go to bed I'm goanna work on: Austin placeholder sprites, more backgrounds for lunchtime, the other guys beginning of day routes.

If were talking when the game will be finished I'll estimate like a month?

I'm planning five days of gameplay with atleast 19 different planned endings so far (4 are coded in and 2 are currently achivable)

Spritework and cgs and backrounds arent too hard bc the game has a sketchy look kinda like the animatics. I MIGHT color the cgs tho.

I'll release a demo version when day 1 is done (as in the morning events, lunchbreak events, and the end of day wrap up)

I'm like super exited I love coding now I wanna make so many VNs after this hhhhhg

WDY dating sim dev log 5 i thibk

I just wanna put here im changing up todds route a bit.

Im kinda bad at writing him but bear with me here

Hes not goanna have the traditional route the other guys have bc hes yk. YOUR BOSS. in the game and you cant rlly just go up to your boss and say "heh lets go on a d8" or sum shit right?

So to do todds route im thinking im goanna add options to ignore the freetime events (so then you work extra)

also!! how the platonic vs romantic endings are set up is you get an equal amount of each points per good interaction, but theres goanna be three choices per character across the days that is basically just platonic vs romantic. (3 so it cant be even, so 1 "plat" point vs 2 "rom" points would give you the romance ending with that character.)

BUT Todds route will be a little different with only one of those types of choices on day 5. on the other days todds interactions will be somewhere between romantic and platonic so its ambiguious.

I just wanted to share that bc i couldnt imagine him having normal events like the others and i like rambling about how my coding works.

anyways, I'm making progress on the lunchbreak events and I'm almost done with mikes morning route. I made Austin's placeholder sprites and 3 new backrounds.
