Continued Development


Hey folks! Just wanted to pop in to let you know the game is still under development, and things are happening behind the scenes.

I’ve been adding depth to segments that had previously been brushed over, and I’ve changed some phrasing around. Day Three is underway, though I’m debating a different approach to the timeline of the game overall. I’ve been tempted to expand the narrative length of the game so it’s set over months rather than days. This wouldn’t necessarily ADD to the length of the actual game, but I feel that everything is somewhat stifled being only over a few days.

I’ve also been debating the merits of people having a consistent ending experience. I looked into Undertale actually, and noted how the way you played drastically impacted your ending. Most games tend to be lukewarm with their endings, trying to satisfying everyone. So the potential to have starkly different outcomes depending on your choices has made me take a step back.

The plot of the game has been decided since I started on the more fleshed out version, so that hasn’t changed. The major difference is how mean I want to be to players, and how gratifying a bad or good ending could be. I do want this project to be finished before the end of the year, art allowing. 

Also, the project has been set to “pay what you want”, while remaining free if you decide to! No pressure to purchase the game, I just wanted to add the option because I’ve put a lot of my own time and money into the project thus far and the support would help me out.

In any case, this post is to let you know that the art for Yumi has been done, and that’s available on the Discord or on my Instagram or Twitter.
