HELLO and welcome to the dev blog for Limited Edition!, an SCP Foundation visual novel revolving around Wondertainment and the Little Misters!
This is a project that has been in motion for a few years and this whole thing is my attempt to document and answer questions about it (and post Misters and gamedev stuff in general). We have a dedicated tag for the game as well: #scp limited edition !
My main blog is @cameatslemons if you'd like to come hang out! More information about the project (FAQ and other such things) can be found below the cut, and my inbox is always open. Hope you enjoy your stay!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (and stuff that's important to know):
What's this whole thing even about?
Follow Mr. Mad on his adventure with the other Little Misters to the Wonderworks as they try to regroup, find Mr. Collector, and try to survive the looming threat that hangs above them all.
Is there anyone else working on this, or just you?
It's a one-man show here! The only other person involved is my pal Ant, whose job is to just be subject to all my rambling. I'm currently looking for a musician to help with the soundtrack, though! I may also be on the look-out for programmers familiar with Ren'Py in the future if my own attempts don't work out.
When will it be done/come out?
I don't actually know; as much as this project is my baby, I can't prioritize it over my real life. I'm a college student training for a career in archaeology, and that takes a LOT of time and effort!
Will we get regular updates?
Not exactly. Even though I've tried to do that in the past, these days I can't really afford to dedicate enough time to Limited Edition to produce tangible, presentable results every single week. I post when I can, but a concrete update schedule is just too stressful.
How long will Limited Edition be?
Preferably 3-4 hours at the minimum.
Will the new Little Misters like Barista be in Limited Edition?
Nope! We're focusing entirely on the original 20. Limited Edition will at the very least serve as a through-line story for all of them.
Will you make other games?
Hopefully. Again, I'm a real person with a real life, and this game is already taking a lot out of me, so I can't promise much. However, I'd love to make more games after this one.
What's your favorite SCP?
SCP-049, on account for being responsible for transing my gender.
sometimes while writing, i get really paranoid that my intent is going to be misinterpreted really badly. and then i remember some people think sweetie is cishet and realize some people are never gonna get it anyway
Can Mr. Hot tell us a memory of his? I don't know much about him. Please :)
hot got so deep into the misters side of wondertainment bc he had a big crush on reginald wondertainment. at some point he finally worked up the courage to ask him out and got Violently Rejected (HE THREW HIS ENTIRE LIFE AWAY ASSUMING HE WOULDNT GET REJECTED IT GENUINELY RUINED HIM)
if all the misters where to be based around different types of toys, which specific type do you think each mister would be? For example, i think sweetie could be a fashion doll that smells like bubblegum, and maybe Life & Death could be a wind up toy? etc!
this is true!! unfortunately i don't know enough about toy types to assign every mister an individual type, but all the misters are edutainment-fashion doll types of toys with only a couple exceptions! (those being headless, a halloween decoration toy, and life/death, a wind-up toy!)
What are the common and contrasting characteristics between the two brothers Mr Lie and Mr Stripes? (I hope I wrote it correctly)
ALRIGHT here we go. full-ish list under the cut
SIMILARITIES:
Design-wise: matching black, white, and purple color scheme, same shades and everything. Hair and skin colors are also the same
Pretty distanced from everyone else; both consider their counterpart to be the only one who "truly understands", and are EXTREMELY clingy to each other
Work in getting Wondertainment out of hot water
need to go to therapy
Have a very personal vendetta against Redd despite having supposedly never met him
Have a strained relationship with Forgetful. What kind of relationship? I dunno but it's not a good one
Wear some form of facial covering (masks for Lie, blindfold for Stripes)
CONTRASTS:
Design-wise: differing hair length, differing height (Lie is about 2 feet shorter than Stripes), and differing fashion styles (Lie business-formal, Stripes has some kind of pajama-casual thing going on)
Lie ABSOLUTELY isn't okay with murder. Stripes is.
Lie is extremely confident and outgoing, Stripes is very shy and self-conscious
Reputations too; most Misters consider Lie to be a conniving son-of-a-bitch, but think very well of Stripes as a "gentle giant" type of guy
Obviously Stripes (usually) can't see and uses a walking stick, Lie can see, etc etc
Stripes is a piano prodigy while Lie can't find his way around most instruments. He hypes Stripes up though
...Stripes is also significantly less clingy than Lie
Hey! Hi! I know it’s been awhile (I’ve sadly died sorry about that) but is there anyway I can help you with making Limited Edition? No pressure or anything by the way I just wanna support you but I have no currency.
sorry this took me a bit but i can say with certainty: your support is more than enough. limited edition is in an awkward spot right now bc, yknow, i'm a college student and i don't get a lot of time to write, but it absolutely helps so much to know there's people excited for it. i like sticking to the idea of "i write for myself and also to drive my friends mad" but it's hard sometimes and just. yeah. it makes me happy and motivated to know people are interested!
Since you know about a lot of the misters, Is there a specific story that gives information on mr redd as I can’t find any information about him and it’s driving me mad
there's SCP-REDD- thats the one most people use. there's also the two intermissions in the Cool War tale series. other than that most info is in bits and pieces across a ton of articles and tales. personally tho i say "fuck it we ball"
im really out here like “i should get a good nights sleep so i can work on my college final essay tomorrow” and then be up at 2am like hm…. misters anatomy
how many hours of gameplay do you have planned for Limited Edition? Or how many would you like there to be for the final game?
Honestly it's kinda difficult to say- I'm honestly pretty garbage with estimating how much time something is going to take- but hopefully kinda long. I'm shooting for 2-3 hours minimum.
It also depends on whether or not I want to stick with the visual novel medium or add actual gameplay. this is the price i pay for my ambition (and hubris)
Ahhh, I read Scp 6910's article and liked it! Maybe the barista can be a big sister to Stripes. Maybe 6910 can understand him. Don't you think it would be cute???? :)
fair enough but also
i want to focus on the original 20 misters
barista is genuinely too normal for these people tbh. i want her to have a normal life more than i want her to get tangled in whatever the fuck is wrong w stripes
Idk if this is a good time to say this or if you already know this but another interview was added to mr laugh’s file, he wasn’t really changed but I just wanted to ask what you thought about it?
its ok! no worries lmao. i didn't know abt the new interview but i actually kinda like it! i like that laugh has a solid, unique personality and the addition is actually abt something other than redd. it's not the personality/characterization i use for him but that's ok ! my interpretation of him is a bit of a stretch anyway lol
