STONKS-9800 devlog #1: Amy
Hello! It's Ternox.
I've decided to start a devlog of STONKS-9800 as I'm getting closer to releasing the game in Early Access. The devlog will continue as long as the game is updated, even after release. I'm excited to share my progress with everyone and give some insight into the development process.
Well, you probably already know what the game is about, right? Maybe you've even played the demo and noticed that Amy plays the role of a player's assistant. And I decided to expand her role a bit. But I should warn you that the game is still primarily a fun stock market simulator, so don't expect it to become a fully formed visual novel.
[h2]So, first devlog about Amy. Who is she?[/h2]
Amy is a complex character with a range of emotions and experiences, which I wanted to reflect in her dialogues. She's a hard worker and takes her job seriously, but also has a playful and mischievous side to her personality. I wanted to make sure that her conversations with the player were not only informative and task-oriented, but also had some humor and lightheartedness to them.
To achieve this, I came up with a variety of dialogues that reflect different aspects of Amy's personality. For example, I created dialogues where Amy tells stories from her childhood, shares personal and intimate details from her life, and even gets a little bit tipsy and acts silly with the player while on a walk.
I wanted to create a character that would not only guide players through the game but also provide an engaging and memorable experience.
I also made sure to incorporate cultural references to Japan in the 80s, where the game takes place, to really immerse the player in the setting and make the dialogues feel more authentic. These references range from famous Japanese works to local customs and traditions.
In addition to crafting her personality and dialogues, I also designed a storyline connected to Amy that runs throughout the game, offering different endings based on the player's decisions and interactions with her.
This storyline adds a layer of depth and emotional investment to the game, as players will be able to see how their actions impact Amy's life and the development of their relationship. As they progress through the game, players will encounter various events and situations that challenge their bond with Amy and require them to make crucial choices that will ultimately determine the outcome of her story.
But I'll talk about the storylines some other time.
Thank you for your attention, and please add the game to your wishlist! I hope to provide you with an Early Access release date very soon!
