MC sprites

Hello, I hope you still remember me👋

Since you already met Bernadette, I want to introduce you to my dear girl Lilibet, who is the MC of this story.

I haven't done a lot of material yet, but I've been working on story mapping, list of all assets that I need and learning 3D modeling (I already did a few models before this but I learned a lot of new things that is shocking how I didn't know it sooner. But I need to say that it turned out that making trees and other plants in 3D for games is unexpectedly hard... Well, I need to make 3D models for the forest anyway for my team project too so I'm working for the future🫡)

I'm aiming to make a demo for now, as the most important thing is to start.

I'm not sure yet how to keep you all updated so I would like to hear your opinion. I was thinking of making a telegram channel as it's quite easy to use, but I'm not sure if it's an available opinion for most. At the moment I only have bluesky, but I don't post that often actually....

Maybe I should just post here from time to time?

My bluesky in any case: exkri11.bsky.social

I need some help with making my Yuri VN🥀

Hello everyone, I really need to hear opinion from other people or advice, or at least any form of feedback!

I'm an IT student who plans to make a horror Yuri VN for quite a long time already, but I just can't move from a dead point!

I'm usually scared of posting anything, especially about something I make. But this year I participated in artfight and shared my characters for the first time and it gave me courage to share more of my ideas.

So let me tell you about my project or at least try to.

This pretty lady you see on a picture is my illustration of an only Love Interest as well as the Villainess of the story. Her name is Bernadette and she's a witch from the woodlands. This illustration is supposed to be her first meeting with MC. MC is a young maiden called Lilibet.

Lilibet is quite an aloof but kind girl that makes her way to meet her ill grandfather maybe for the last time. But she gets lost in a forest as night falls. After some time, she meets an unusual woman who offers to let her stay at her house for the night and help her find an exit at sunrise.

That's the basis of a story! Next I want to tell about the mechanics. I was stuck for a long time as I couldn't make up my mind about what I want the game to look like. And I'm actually a part of a team where we work on an other horror game (not related to this one, as this is my solo project) and recently we changed our concept of what we are making and while we talked about all of it I just felt that it was exactly what I need for my project. The mechanics is a simple point and click, but also I want to give it a 3D walking mechanics of dungeon crawling (what I mean is that you need to click to make a step or make a turn around)

So the main help that I need is to hear what people are think about it. Would you be interested in such game? Is there any advices I can get? Or is there any plots you would expect? I'm still stuck about how to make story go, so hearing others opinion on this could help me get more ideas to explore❤️‍🩹 If you already made your own VN I would love to know about sounds and music, as I know absolute 0 about this part and I'm scared of it the most🥀

I also have an idea for another game that's also going to be yuri VN but in a different setting. I can't say anything about it as there's no guarantee I would make it, as I need to finish this one at least❤️‍🩹

I finally bought Slime Rancher on mobile

I'm so happy, it's actually a really really long and important story to me.

First of all I fell in love with the first Slime Rancher long ago I don't even remember when, My brother bought it for me because I really wanted it, but it's not like I asked him for it, he just saw how I like it and randomly bought it for me and it was the first time I had a paid game and also first time someone buying me games because my mother always forbidden me this (he's not my real brother, he's more of a cousin but we just don't use this word in our culture) but I lost this steam account later on.

So when I got older and actually got my money the first thing I bought was Slime Rancher lol. I played it for months, I replayed it hundreds of times, I have all the achievements, and I did buy Slime Rancher 2 but I still haven't played it properly because the first game is my comfort zone and I still make marathons of replaying it for a few weeks straight, and the second game is just not the same for me but I hope to play it properly.

So, from the time I first played it I was sad that I can't play it everywhere and I got to know at one moment that Nintendo switch has it so I started wanting Nintendo switch (it's not the only reason but one of the main) but it's too expensive for me so I still don't have it, but one day I'll have it.. I hope..

So when I saw that Slime Rancher was gonna have an official mobile port I was beyond happy. But. My phone didn't support it💔 So I was really sad again. But (yes there is a lot of but) my phone started to die so I started to look for a new one and make sure that it would support Slime Rancher lol. One day in the morning my phone just randomly died. It was working, I left it for 2 minutes to make coffee and when I got back it just didn't start, like absolutely no reaction no matter what I did. After an hour or so of me trying to repair it it started again, I didn't want to risk it so I immediately bought a new one (for only 200€ and it's a good phone, I'm pretty sure my old one was more expensive but it died really quickly and stopped supporting pretty much everything).

So obviously I decided to buy Slime Rancher, finally. I also got a discount for 4€ in the Play market so it was perfect. I put some money in my balance and went to buy it. But oh god, I got a stupid error "you can use your balance only in {my country}" and where the hell am I???? I checked the configuration, everything was correct, I cleared the cash, I restarted my phone, nothing helped. So I contacted support and spent an hour or two while they were looking into it, then I needed to fill in the thing (sorry I forgot) and it was only for gift cards but I didn't use a gift card so it was confusing but whatever I sent it, and today (after 2 full days since incident) I got an mail that they fixed it, so I tried again and it worked.

FINALLY I have the ultimate power of playing Slime Rancher anywhere. Finally my wish came true after YEARS.

Thank you for reading this unnecessary long story, I hope you aren't pissed by my lack of grammar, English is not my native language and I wanted to rant🙏🥀

Now I'm part of the community. I always wanted to get a gaming console, but my parents always said that I'll grow up and would stop playing games so it's a waste of money. But now I'm an adult and can buy whatever I want, so I can say for sure that I haven't growed out of gaming. Also I bought tempered glass for psvita screen and successfully applied it. The back panel protective film wasn't so successful but still.
