Eternal Frenemies: Return to Eternity

I'm happy the demo is successfully loaded and playable here, but...(more in article, please read)

So the size of the demo web build for the Return to Eternity visual novel game is about half a gigabyte (445MB).

Logically, I am estimating the full game's web build to be at least 4GB upon completion, which means that I will have to appeal to GameJolt and Itchio staff for sufficient space....if applicable.

The demo's reception on either here or Itchio will determine where the full game will be uploaded. If people like the demo, I will go through the effort to try and have the full game uploaded here when it's complete. Same for Itchio. If it fails everywhere, I'm still making the full game, but will only share with those who make known that they want to play. If you don't have a computer with which to play, you can still support via post engagement and getting the word out!

Keeping in mind that I am making this game for free and I lack a lot of money, talent and time that other Ren'Py developers do....I'm not gonna say my hopes are very high, but I am proud of the demo and I hope you will like it too. There will be a poll in the coming weeks (toward the end of full game development).

One thing that I didn't get to explain in #Devruary that I feel EVERY dev should understand:

A REALLY good practice for game development is to make sure the target audience learns of the game and doesn't forget about it (more in article, PLEASE READ)

Now that the demo's been out for a month and some change, I can finally introduce him here.

You'll barely see him in the game, but he is very important to the webcomic and a project as a whole.

Oh lookie, it's the DEFINITELY final version of the main menu screen (which will only stay if I can successfully program the login option in time...if not, I'll remove it)!

Also got some important news...explained as an #update in the article below.

I've noticed a pattern in my art. I will switch it up, just give me a sec to be obsessed first

On tap for #WIPWednesday we have a new image from the full game. Notice anything different/new about the game besides the background(answer and update in article)?

Please play the available demo either here or on ItchIO if you haven't already!

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

It's been a minute since I posted about this, but I've been happy to see that this game is still being played despite how basic its gameplay is!

I have been considering making a series out of this title once I'm done with the EF Project

So I made this helpful little chart back when I made the storyboard to canonize the age range of the "Center 10" eternals of the Eternal Frenemies story!

The "REWIND shorts" refer to the Gacha Series I made to flesh out their school days(more in article)

On tap for #ScreenshotSaturday, we have the CG gallery! Aiming for at least 20-40 images for the full game, but 8 are available in the #demo, so go play!

PS: Players who get all four demo achievements should then see a bonus CG on the main menu screen...
