Devlog no. 1 - Characters and structure of the game


Hi everyone!!!!
First of all, thank you for 61 followers :DD It's nice to see people actually interested in the project!!

In today's devlog I would like to talk some more about the characters and how much more work I need to do to implement them fully into the demo version!!
At the start I want to explain a different 'types' of characters.
1. Recurring characters - the most basic ones that appear through out many different nights
2. Special characters - these characters are more unique than recurring characters. I try to design them in such a way to make the night feel truly different and challenging. These special characters will appear only once in their respective nights (or in some special scenarios twice).
3. Bosses - Basically a special character but there's way more going on and appear at the end of each season.

Currently I managed to implement 9 characters (7 recurring, 1 special, 1 boss) although demo version will only include 7 characters! All of these characters are 97% fully coded into the game BUT some of them still lacks some sprites. Most of the characters for the demo have all sprites made (I just need to draw a couple more, and I didn't even touched jumpscares!!!!) but the boss character doesn't have any sprites ready yet and well, It will definitely take some time....
I would say that 70% of the sprites are completed so I feel that demo will definitely come somewhere summer (maybe even before!!).

I mentioned 'season' while talking about bosses. Seasons are 'worlds' containing all episodes (which are nights). Right now I plan to make 3 seasons for the full release, each containing around 5-7 episodes.
Yeah it probably sound really ambitious but I truly believe in myself!!! The biggest plus is that the game is really simple to code, which is such a relieve after my last project!

Well I think that all I wanted to talk about! Sorry if everything is a mess and my english isn't the best but I hope I can at least convey my thoughts properly..
Thank you for reading and cya!!!!

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

I'm happy to announce that 'Bear with me' demo will be released on October 10th!
