"No. Really, what do you remember?"

I'm making a narrative Poppy Playtime fangame!

Hi everybody! I figured this might be the space to share and hear some feedback for this project of mine, so here goes nothing!

I'm currently developing a game inspired in the world of Poppy Playtime and the Playtime Co. factory/Playcare in Ren'Py as a story-driven companion and alternate (but mostly similar) reality to the games! I'm planning plenty of point-and-click puzzles, mini-games, and more as the story delves into the plot and characters.

Follow the descent of Lucas, Carter, and Tristan, three friends raised in Playcare and reunited after adoption, as they explore the beloved memories and horrifying truths of their shared childhood home, and learn about their pasts and each other as they explore the premises. I am planning to have a couple different story branches for each character and some sinister and familiar toy faces appear (like MLL and CatNap) but I won't spoil the fun for now!

HUGE thanks to @/ang_jkt on Fiverr, the character sprites are all her awesome work! other assets are from in-game, placeholders, and my own photoshopping of assets from documents from the game. Please enjoy these mockup screenshots, and if anyone's interested, I'd be more than happy to share the development journey until the game is ready for release on itch someday!

Thanks for reading!

I'm ALIVE!

I've survived till 2014, So happy new year! I know I've disappeared for a few months..errrr half a year (Shit that is a long time) but I'm still going to try to develop a full game this year.

Even though I knew it will be tough, I still had not expected it to be THIS tough. The thing I learned from the first failed attempts is that it is hard to keep yourself motivated. Sometimes I just sit and stare at my computer and do nothing. My resolution for this year is that every time I do that i'm going to punch myself in the face... with a pillow. What? There's no way I'll use my fist. My hands are the most valuable things I own right after.... well let's just say I'm not going to hurt these babies.

So I've gone back to the drawing board and really just sat down and figured what I can and cannot do. I pretty much came to the conclusion that I can't really do much of anything. So I simplified and simplified and simplified until it was sort of possible.

Here's what I have planned now: Simple story and simple game mechanics. Simple graphics? Undecided.

But here's some new stuff for now:

Until next time!
