As The Intended First Level, Shaded Coast Features A Pretty Tame Selection Of Enemies, Ranging From Slow

As The Intended First Level, Shaded Coast Features A Pretty Tame Selection Of Enemies, Ranging From Slow

As the intended first level, Shaded Coast features a pretty tame selection of enemies, ranging from slow bulky brutes, cowardly spearmen, frail gunners, and troublesome shields. It's a common trope for early-game enemies to feature bandits and this game does not plan to be an exception. None of these ruffians are particularly dangerous, but each is meant to serve a niche as they ease the player into the combat and level design with simple attack patterns and mechanics. Do be careful around the flamethrower guys through, those are your first taste of a mid-tier foe and they hurt quite a bit.

Didnt get much done this last weekend. I spent most of it watching my brother play through Nier Automata. He`s currently at the beginning of the third playthrough so he should be fully done soon enough.

Rita Is The Main Protagonist Of Rita's Nightmare Chute.She's A Woman In Her Late Twenties.
Rita Is The Main Protagonist Of Rita's Nightmare Chute.She's A Woman In Her Late Twenties.

Rita is the main protagonist of Rita's Nightmare Chute. She's a woman in her late twenties.

A few years back, she was employed as a cleaner and sort of nanny, but after the kid she was taking care of passed away by accident, she was blamed by her employer for his daughter's death ( which she had nothing to do with ) and got fired. Since then, because of her then former employer's big influence on the world ( as he's the CEO of a prominent company ), Rita hasn't been able to find any new job and ( although she's not fond of putting such a weight on him ) needs to rely on Toby, her boyfriend, for financial and emotional support.

In Rita's Nightmare Chute, you meet Rita when, alone at her flat, she receive's a letter from her former employer inviting her to his seaside little house to "appologies and make amends". At first reluctant to the idea of seeing her former employer again, she finds courage in Toby's company and goes with him to the location written in the letter.

As you can imagine ( since this is a psychological horror visual novel ) this won't go well.

Recently Made An Idle Animation For The Rivetgunner. It's Nothing Complicated But They Are Pretty Useful

Recently made an idle animation for the rivetgunner. It's nothing complicated but they are pretty useful to flesh out the world by showing the enemies' personalities and dynamics outside of combat.

it's looking like Face Erasure will be the first game i release, so i'll write up a quick rundown with more detail than what's been written in my pinned post.

you play as a resident of a town in which people are being cursed by the hundreds to lose their faces, often leading to a complete loss of identity - becoming "hollow". from the widespread panic, two opposing religious sects have sprung up: one which preaches that facelessness is a punishment for sin, and one which preaches that facelessness is a blessing, a chance to make more room for divinity within oneself.

to begin, you're approached by anais (she/her), a peppy faceless woman looking to proselytize you into the latter sect. though you turn down the offer, she still insists on at least being your friend, and you get roped into her efforts to provide support for the other faceless people of the town. in doing so, the two of you meet nemo (they/he), another faceless person who's been stuck at home with an untreated chronic illness. after helping them with their grocery shopping, anais drags nemo into your party just the same as she did to you, with the extraordinary power of friendship and stubborn altruism. the three of you bond with each other as you continue assisting the townspeople, and your goals come to include making peace between the feuding sects, and discovering the true cause of the curse afflicting the town.

the story focuses on themes of personal identity, social ostracization, disability and mental illness, and the threats that cults pose to the people caught up in them. i intend to use horror elements to portray the emotional side of these themes while remaining tactful. the story is based largely in my own experiences, so i aim to do those subjects justice and shed some light on the matters.

i'm currently still in the planning stages and have no timeframe for the game's release. the beginning, true ending, and basic plot beats have been decided on, so it's now a matter of fleshing out the meat on the bones and further developing the cast before moving on to the creation of the game itself. it will either be a visual novel or an RPG depending on which format i end up deciding will work best. and, as with all my future games, i plan to make Face Erasure as accessible as possible.

Boris The Valiant Heart, Serves As The Game Tutorial Boss. He Is A Powerful Knight, Wielding A Legendary

Boris the Valiant Heart, serves as the game tutorial boss. He is a powerful knight, wielding a legendary sword capable of calling forth lightning. He was the first and only person to ever succeed in subduing the calamity.

He is long gone by the time the game properly starts, but his legacy remains, forever shaping the world he fought to save.
