I've spent the whole day conceptualising an idea for a future project because I'm the type of person where once I hyperfocus on an idea, I have to work on it or I get really distressed So behold: Yandere Royale [Placeholder title] You wake up in an old, abandoned hotel, and find a note that tells you exactly what's going on. You've been brought there by 3 men to play a 'game'. Your goal is simple enough, you need to escape. Won't be so easy with all the doors locked, and weird puzzles scattered around. Oh, and of course the 3 yandere men chasing you. Whoever manages to get you, keeps you. At least that's what they agreed on, who knows if they'll stick to that...

Who are these men, anyway?

Chase, Souta and Jakob! [Designs may change in the future, these are concepts]

Chase

Bio

Chase works for a secret organisation, and in the past year was sent to look into Souta, who may or may not be committing major crimes. He would often run into you when spying, and while he saw you as an annoying obstacle at first, became enamoured as he got to know you. He also became aware of how Souta felt about you too, and was the one to propose the game. While he also knew of Jakob’s feelings towards you, he hadn't expected Souta to bring him into it as well. He accepted it anyway, as this game will allow him to get rid Souta and claim you. Jakob... Eh, he doesn't care. Chase can beat him if needed. He knows how dangerous this could be, but he isn't afraid of a few more scars... On either him, or you.

Possible Mechanics

Lays traps around the place aimed at both you and the others, adding more the longer you spend there

Sensitive ears, he'll know if you end up in his trap and will come to you.

You can either interact with him or be chased by him upon being spotted, its a gamble really

Occasionally checks hiding places, and if you hide somewhere within his sight, will always check that place from then on

Becomes a more active chaser when Jakob is inactive/dead

Will try to hunt and kill Souta when Jakob is dead

When Souta is dead, if Chase catches you, it leads to a 'bad end'.

Souta

Bio

Souta is the ceo of a successful shipping company, though that is a cover for the nefarious deeds that are committed behind the scenes. He met you when inspecting one of his warehouses one day. He saw you chatting with Jakob on his break, and decided to interrupt. He paid a few more visits to that warehouse, though when you stopped showing up, he gathered information about you, to find you in other places. When the pesky spy that tried to take him out several times approached him with an idea, he agreed to it, with the plan of involving Jakob and getting him and Chase to kill each other, and swooping in for you when they're dead. Its took so much work to balance managing his company, keeping his professional act, visiting you and dealing with that annoying spy all at once. Perhaps he'll retire once he gets you.

Possible Mechanics

Will leave consumables around with various effects

More likely to leave helpful consumables if your HP is low

Can be found in random rooms and interacted with

Acts sympathetic to the your plight

May try to manipulate Jakob under the right conditions

Doesn't chase you until the other two are dead

Will always check all hiding places in a room, making hiding pointless

Jakob

Bio

Jakob works under Souta's company in one of his warehouses, and is one of your closest friends. While he's oblivious to the tense nature between Chase and Souta, he is not oblivious to how they feel about you. He's been doing his best to keep them away from you, such as stopping your visits to the warehouse on his breaks, but its been taking a toll on his mental state. Especially since those two found you elsewhere anyway. When Souta informed him about the 'game' he and Chase had planned, he flipped out at first, but agreed to it upon realising it was his chance to take them out and keep you safe. He's going to make sure you're safe... Provided he doesn't accidentally kill you himself.

Possible Mechanics

An active chaser, strong and fast

Rarely checks hiding places

While he's focused on trying to kill the others, he will try and catch you too. He'll put you someplace 'safe' if he gets you.

If you're caught, you can try to escape at the cost of HP

When the others are dead, his focus will be on catching you, leading to a 'bad end' if he gets you.

His chases drain the most SANITY

It will take several traps to kill him

Once his HP is low enough, he'll stop chasing. Might be able to team up with him?

============= This is the map I have planned out [Removed the names of the rooms nyehehe ;p]

I also spent a good chunk of the day testing out various mechanics in RPG Maker such as hiding to make sure its, y'know, feasible. It is indeed! It just took a few hours lol So that's the idea I've got so far! Not sure when [or if] I'll get around to making this one. Ideally it'll be shorter than Your Loving Test Subject, being more focused on exploration and chasing, which should mean a shorter wordcount. Pixel sprites also take a lot less time to make than illustrations. Likely it would take around 6 months to 1 year to make. Your Loving Test Subject is my priority, but maybe this side project would be nice to switch to whenever I feel burnt out with YLTS? Hm, decisions... To think I did all this because I played Yoko No Hanashi. Oh, and speaking of YLTS- I have wrote more of the script the past week! Word count is about 47,000, was mostly switching between Pink and Yellow's day 6. Some fun stuff happens when you first wake up :D Welllllll anyways I guess this'll be my Sunday update! Oh boy this is a lot, hope ya'll don't mind- Though I guess I did call this blog jestersprojects and not Yourlovingtestsubjectupdates for a reason :p

Watched Suzume again and I thought how much I love this movie. It's one of the most beautiful portrayals of grief, not just personal grief but communal grief, the loss of people and places and the land itself. I love the banality with which Daijin treats death in the face of his selfish love and how he becomes ill when faced with rejection. Yet he eventually understands Suzume's love and then strives to sacrifice his feelings for her.
