In this next #No_Hacks devlog, I was able to get all of the core mechanics and game loop complete so far! Here's everything I accomplished in the first week on this project.

I made a blog post where I talk about the process I went through to make my short visual novel, Clove's Story: https://michellerakar.blogspot.com/2024/07/cloves-story-o2a2-vn-…

Last year, I made a game in Ren'Py for the "Only One of Any Asset" (O2A2) Visual Novel Jam 2024. Here's a video where I play through the game, Clove's Story.

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

I recorded a video of myself playing through my game for the RPG Maker Game Jam, #No_Hacks! Check out the link in the article below.

Robo Frenzy by @yytgames is a sandbox boss-battling game where you slay bosses and create them. Defeat massive robos, customize them, and unleash the ultimate boss for the world to fight!

Here's a gameplay video of the digital version of Nay Saga. I adapted 2/6 of the game types from the physical board game to RPG Maker MZ in a few months.

Reflecting back on the development for Complex .net, I created a video where I talk about how we made the game here:

The Last Starship is a 2D space construction game where you design & upgrade your starship.

After 3 years of early access, the game will launch on February 3, 2026! Congrats to the team!

In this final #No_Hacks devlog, I talk about what I learned and my overall biggest takeaways from the project. There's also a link to play the game if you haven't yet.
