Project: Comiket Prototype

After a lot of trial and error, the prototype version of Project: Comiket is finally done!

But first, what is Project: Comiket?

Project: Comiket is a short otome game where you play as Noa Natsume and help her assist Ren Ogawa with his doujinshi. This was a project I made for NaNoRenO 2018, but things happened and halted the process. So now that I want to try making visual novels again, this was the first one that came into my mind.

There's still a lot of things I want to add like a unique GUI, a better system for the sprites so the file size won't be big, a proper layout of their homes, animations and transitions, and expand the story. But even without those, I do believe the current build is playable.

I also want to study about Japanese college students, the architecture in Tokyo, and how the Comiket operates before the pandemic happened so I can further improve the story. Sadly, I am limited with the information available online so if anyone is kind enough to share those experiences, feel free to share it in the comments below. Even if my story is fictional, I want to share accurate information as much as possible so people can learn new things as well.

And now that I am done with the prototype, what's next?

Even if I had fun making Project: Comiket, I need to move onto my next project. Visual novels take a lot of time and effort, so I need to be picky on which project I'll work on for years. If the prototype doesn't work, why would I expect the full version to do well? At least if things fail, I can easily move on and work on another one because I didn't spend my entire life making a single otome game.

And I guess that's all I can say at the moment. See you tomorrow for the official release. Bye!
