Devlog

Devlog #1 - First characters revealed

During the scripting phase of the prototype, which serves as a short "demo" (one in-game day, not all the features), I had to determine which characters out of the total 13 we envisioned would be featured. Once the selections were made, we engaged a freelance artist to model these characters.

Not being an artist myself, I sketched portraits and created mood boards for each character's physique, attire, and personality, which I then provided to our artist. Then, he suggested various artistic approaches, enabling him to ensure stylistic consistency for the characters (and we're thrilled how they're turned out! 💛)

PLAYER CHARACTER

An ordinary vacationer pulled into a mysterious adventure.

Embark on a journey as an ordinary soul headed for a summer getaway, only to find yourself entangled in a haunting seaside resort. Well, who needs a typical vacation story when you can have this unique tale to share ?

Note: Currently, we only have one version of the player character available, but for the final game, we aim to provide three different appearances. We also plan to enable players to choose their own names and pronouns, allowing for a basic level of customization.

BRETT

A punk-looking forest ranger who finds you after your car breakdown.

They're a real loner, who are completely settled in the forest; they say it's easier for their job, but they mostly seem to want to avoid all contact. Always appear indifferent to everything that happens, with unmatched nonchalance.

Note: Is it OK to have a crush on one of your characters? Asking for a friend.

❤️ Loves :

• Who knows?

💔 Hates :

I don't know they're really a mystery

LALA

A friendly sports coach, incredibly strong yet incredibly naive.

As a coach, she energetically organizes activities for tourists, always in a cheerful mood. Reliable and caring, she's one of the lone voices expressing worry about the former hotel manager, a topic which others seem to avoid...

Note: She is 100% golden retriever coded and must be protected at all costs.

❤️ Loves :

• Build her muscles and stamina
• Eat all she can
• Short naps

WALTER

The manager of an electronics store, always in a foul mood.

He's like a rainy day without an umbrella: chilly and not pleasant. As the manager of a small electronics shop, he constantly piles things up for mysterious reasons.

Note: Yes, Walter is a toad, and no, he's not the only antropormorphic character in the game!

• Good puns
• Cigarettes
