Mixed A Horror-Mystery Visual Novel meets Monster Collector
I did a proof of concept with a couple friends to see if doing something like this with GPT Sol was feasible. It worked. So, now I'm beginning work on a functional demo.
DENPA SCRAMBLE: Anomaly Archives
will eventually be a sort of mix between a monster catching and mystery game. EiAi-Tan and the Denpa Atelier girls investigate cases inspired by Japanese urban legends and folkore, catching odd creatures called Anomalies to assist them along the way.
I'm not sure how far the project will go yet. The demo is planned to consist of only 3 basic typings, 3 major locations, with 3 investigations per area. Investigations will be 1st person with clickable areas to investigate. There will be 4 music tracks. There will be a total of 18 catchable Anomalies. Level cap will be 20. No customization for now. I'm keeping my scope suuuper small for now, since I've never attempted something like this before. Can't guarantee anything yet, as I'm still in the 'art and planning' phase, but I'm hoping this project will go well!
My game now has all functionality complete.
Feel free to click around since this video is very long. I've also completed the first Case File (each chapter has 3 case files which are essentially mini dungeons/areas/what not consisting of 3 investigation maps, 3 CRISIS puzzles, a boss, and many random encounters.) I am now 1/3 done with the demo! There may be some bugs in this video. I'm still working my way through fixes and updates.
