Developer Notes:
A while ago I mentioned about making a game and got some comments in return which I took on board and rewrote some things.
Dev Back Story -
I started the project back in May, using my spare time outside of my full time career to create it. It’s inspired from the style and mechanics of Naked Adventure and Naked Order, I really enjoyed these risk-run style of games.
I always want to be transparent that I am adequate with software and logic. I am not a coder who can write out JS scripts, or draw beautiful art.
I am using AI Graphics with my own prompts and polishing the images off in photoshop where something may be off, if you notice anything off please let me know. I have mixed a set of sounds to go with some of the events in the game with SFX and BGMs, so generally I’m average at everything T_T.
Sadly a month ago I updated my OS which then killed the RPGMV game engine for me, therefore having to revert my OS and in the process I zip-compressed the entire progress from May to October. But… I never copied it over to the USB stick. You should’ve seen my face when I plugged in the USB to restore all my files and not find the project I have been working on in the past 5 months in my spare time.
This was a blessing in disguise as the game was getting out of control with all the multiple branches I was going down and getting distracted. So as of the start of November I rebuilt it, the entire thing and streamlined what I wanted to produce for a demo release, which I will be releasing in a ‘Rough around the edges’ version.
The demo will introduce 10 missions to be completed within 14 days and include four zones, the story will begin and there will be a successful ending or a bad ending. The work I still need to do for the demo is add NPCs, “generally populating areas (mostly day time)”, and add up some flavour text/interactions with those NPCs.
For now I have just worked on the main thing mechanics of the game to see if it just works.
So below you will find a few screenshots of the gameplay, and a global map view of each of the four main districts (zones), - which I still need to add a bit more to.
Other stuff -
If you wish to support me on Patreon you can and that would be lovely, but I advise you to wait until trying this release of course to see if it’s something you’d like.
Notes and feedback (constructive of course) is welcomed here, please do reply to this post if you have anything in that regard.
Please Note -
Remember I will be working on this in my spare time and hopefully with a bit more to show in a shorter amount of time. I do have a few projects outside of this which are ending in January, which may mean I invest more time into this game BUT alongside my full time career.
This demo will be the only public release that will be free to try but other releases are going to be paid for and released on Patreon and Itch. I aim to not release parts of the game trickle by trickle, (As in none of this installing a whole new game, paying for a whole new game, for one mission - that is where Patreon I suppose is better in a post update rather than Itch.io).
I do have a short roadmap which sections the game into three releasable parts but this would be a decision in progress and may change during the work in progress.
Anyway, thank you for your time, please let me know comments/ideas/improvements/bugs below.

Please don’t post the usual ‘Blergh ai generated scumbag’ I get it, if that’s how you feel about ai generated stuff, please ignore this game and post.
