(In-development)(A )Techie in Love

~CURRENTLY STILL IN DEVELOPMENT~

Originally started for the 2023 otome jam, this project is now an ongoing project. Aiming for release sometime in 2024(could be earlier or later). Will also  be doing a android release along with PC. 

~STORY~

You'll play as Cecilia Vonne(renameble) as she navigates a new chapter in her life; starting her own solo IT specialist business while putting a traumatic past behind her and somehow managing to find love in the process. You can also rename her bunny and IT business.

There are three LI's(Love Interests): 

-Dominic: childhood friend and fellow techie. He also previous worked with Cecilia in the past but now after a certain incident the two have gone their separate ways in the workplace, and somewhat distant currently.

-Jelani: A goofy personal trainer who very often refuses to take things seriously at first glance. Has a somewhat mysterious background yet  seeks out Cecilia's help in broadening his business horizons in the city.

-Zachary: A serious, no nonsense trained chef who owns his own dessert café in what seems to be storybook forest.  His café reopened recently and he is in of Cecilia's help to navigate the technological business landscape.

Each love interest has a good ending, and a bad one. Now that I gave myself more time on this project(after leaving the jam early), I'll be adding other endings alongside those LI specific ones.

Speaking of which, the game relies on a points to hearts system. Certain choices will give you(Cecilia) more affection points or not at all. Those points will determine your endings for each LI. Sometimes you'll have enough to move on, sometimes you won't. 

Game completion should be around 2-3 hrs for each route, so this  a somewhat short game.

~CURRENT DEVELOPMENT~

As of this game creation page (July 16th) I have been doing/or finished the following;

-the story(includes plot, background stories for all the characters and their good/bad endings ect). New additional endings I had in mind are in their draft stages

-Character sprites were complete, but I am redoing a few of them since I have more time. 

-Few UI layouts. Have to do a few more swaps.

-CG's are in their draft stage. Similarly goes for the CG gallery. 

-Code framework for all LI routes, tested and done.

-Some music drafted, not all I had in mind. 

I'll also periodically post a devlog for this as I originally wanted to(but couldn't make the time for).

So, that's it about it for now, thanks for reading!
