My mystery/psychological horror visual novel Aftertaste is released now! We made it as a team of three in one month for Nanoreno :D

Just one taste. That's all. ☕🩸

A banner. To the left is a tanned man with glasses, golden eyes, and lavender hair. He is wearing a suit, but the front is open and covered by a sheer fabric. To the left it reads: A NaNoRenO Game Jam Game: Aftertaste: Part 1 Screenshot of the visual novel. It features the same tanned man as the previous photo, winking as he sits across from the player at a table. His name is Yonah. His dialogue reads: No worries. I recognized you by the door. I'm a big fan, you know, so I jumped at an opportunity to help you. Screenshot of the point and click portion. It features a cafe background with many details to click on. Yonah is to the left, while a man sits at his laptop in the center, and a woman reads off to the right. The woman is highlighted. There are two buttons that say "Journal" and "Inventory" to the bottom right. Screenshot of the Visual Novel. The sprite is of a person with dark brown hair and an easy smile, wearing a barista's apron. They have minimal facial features. The text reads: I walk up to the barista. They seem kind of bored until they see me, giving a small wave.

Nanoreno is ending soon, and the release of Aftertaste, our mystery visual novel, is drawing nearer!

Here's first look at Yonah, a handsome gentleman you meet at a cafe ☕

#nanoreno #NaNoRenO2024 #VNDev #AftertasteGame
A banner. To the left is a tanned man with gold eyes and lavender hair, wearing a butchered suit outfit. He has round glasses and sports a smug smile. To the right is text, reading: YONAH A self-proclaimed mystery and horror novelist, who is apparently always working on his next big hit at the cafe. He is a huge coffee fanatic. . .and he only drinks it black. No cream. No sugar. Thanks. He respects you as an ace detective, citing you as inspiration. He just might hold the key in remembering who you are. Or, at least, how you like your coffee.

Day 30 of Nano, only 1 1/2 days left!
Aftertaste (Part 1) is fully playable now, we just need to add a few assets here and there ☕

#NaNoRenO2024 #nanoreno #IndieDev #GameDev #VNDev #VisualNovel
Dialogue with a barista NPC with wavy brown hair. The textbox says "I walk up to the barista. They seem kind of bored until they see me, giving a small wave." A cafe scene with a bespectacled gentlemen sitting at a table, between a fully stuffed bookshelf and a fish decoration at a wall. The textbox says "Steeling myself for the inevitable, I take a deep breath..." A cafe scene with three NPCs sitting at different tables. From left to right: A tan bespectacled young man working at a laptop, another man with dark hair working at a laptop, and a woman reading a book. The woman is highlighted with a yellow border. Dialogue with a character named Yonah in a cafe. He has short lavender hair, amber eyes, and is wearing a flashy dark blue and purple outfit with lots of cleavage. Yonah says : "No worries. I recognized you by the door. I'm a big fan, you know, so I jumped at an opportunity to help you."

Spot the main character lol

This is a WIP for the main setting of Aftertaste! I'm currently in the process of implementing the last bits of dialogue and adding effects to the more intense scenes 👀

#GameDev #IndieDev #NaNoRenO2024 #nanoreno #VNDev
A café scene with a barista working at a counter and three customers sitting at different tables. From left to right: a tan bespectacled man with a flashy outfit and conspicuously large cleavage, working at a laptop, another man working at a laptop, and a woman reading a book with an iced coffee next to her.

a few chat snippets from Yonah's design process

#GameDev #VNDev #NaNoRenO2024 #nanoreno
A collage of several chat screenshots surrounding Yonah's chest: Top left: St. Byleth: Still a fan of the slutty priest collar. I do like the purple more! Hirnfresser: noted! St. Byleth: He looks sexy Hirnfresser: good! Top right: Berin: our boy would kinda look out of place there with his risqué getup 🤔 St. Byleth: i think he would look out of place anywhere to be honest Berin: except for the club maybe St. Byleth: not too many people walk around with their boobs out like that he shoulda been at tha club... Berin: ye.. Bottom left: Berin: lore-wise the cafe is supposed to be a place where yonah feels at home right? would it make more sense to design the kind of cafe where he doesnt look out of place? Hirnfresser: so a strip club (with a crying emote reaction) Berin: Three ellipses and a laughing ascii emote Bottom right: St. Byleth: THE TITS (with a sparkle emoji reaction) i like that this is his defining feature

Prepare for some highly unprofessional dev commentary on Yonah's design later 👀

Here's the main sprite for Yonah, the central character of my nano VN!

#GameDev #IndieDev #NaNoRenO2024 #nanoreno
A portrait sprite of a handsome bespectacled man with lavender hair, amber-colored eyes and tan skin. He is wearing a vest with elbow-length sleeves and generous cleavage covered by sheer fabric. Next to him is his name in cursive font, Yonah. He is looking at the viewer with a slight, confident smile.

Ok, here goes: Like this post to unlock Yonah's sprite! He's the central character of my Nano game, Aftertaste! 🥰 Trust me it's worth it

Had the first weekly check-in for Nano today!
So far, we're still on track. I've made a basic inventory and point & click implementation, we have sketches for our love interest, and the first part of the script is also done 💪

#NaNoRenO2024 #Nanoreno #GameDev #IndieDev
An in-game screenshot of a cafe scene with stick-drawing placeholder images, showing a cafe with a barista to the left and a bespectacled gentleman to the right. A horizontal inventory bar is opened, containing a vague shiny item and a cup of coffee. The coffee cup is selected and a window in the center of the screen is displaying additional information about the item.

Today's nano progress ✨We have a rough inventory now! Also I'm starting to get attached to the stick drawings, send help

#NaNoRenO2024 #Nanoreno #GameDev #IndieDev
A gif showing the UI flow of a game inventory. The showcase starts on a scene with two stick men. Upon clicking on the left one, a coffee item is added to the inventory. The inventory is opened via a button on the bottom right. The coffee shows up as first item on a horizontal bar at the bottom. A click on the item opens an overlay with additional information. clicking the coffee icon again closes the overlay.
