New Game started: ShipWreck Bay (Patreon)

Still waiting on the go-ahead for Seven Sisters. No rush, or anything, but while I'm waiting, I figured I might as well start on my potential next game in RPG Maker MV. I've gone through about 30 of YEP's 200 plugins. I watch the tutorial, and read the actual code of each, as well as look up how others used the plugin to get ideas on the most effective usage. So far, I've found use for the day/night, lighting, event-spawner, and all the Core plugins that just make the game run better.

I am in the process of redrawing basically ALL the sprites... Kinda ridiculous overkill, and I'm sure I'll end up keeping some of the original sprites... but, so far I have redrawn the grass, and hills. I also added in slanted hill walls. I've compiled about 10 crops which grow and reseed themselves, two tree types you can cut down, and mining one type of stone. I am amazed at how long it takes to do pixel art tilesets. It took most of the week to get the below art components finished.

I'm thinking this game will actually have a male protagonist who gets shipwrecked and needs to survive until he can build a raft to travel to a larger nearby island. He'll forage and catch small game, and build a few tent upgrades, unlock the axe and chop some trees to build a raft, then travel to the next island where he finds new resources, crafts new tools, builds a basic shelter, hunts new animals, and build a boat to travel to the next island... This continues until I run out of ideas I'd guess! LOL. Each island would have one main animal to catch and a rare chance to find a humanoid female version, you can... train... or she helps collect resources, fights other animals later... whatever. I might even make an actual romance. Random personalities that require certain interactions to unlock fun-time actions. Different stats meaning some are better at fighting, farming, foraging, fertility... You get the idea. I'll be going for 95% human with just cute animal features like a tail or ears or nose... and likely they will be removable in case you want 100% human woman. Might even have them be other shipwrecked survivors instead. Too early to really know right now.

I might upload a "just-for-fun" playable version for $5 patrons at month-end, but seriously at this point there is no story or adult content, it would just be trying out the gameplay mechanics. Maybe 10 minutes of activity.
