Hello people reading this post! I've talked about how I was working on a RPG called "Striving Perfection" but I decided to put the project on hold and make something else. This doesn't mean I'll stop working on it!
So basically my newest game project is "Egoradise." Yeah, legit!- you should see my twitter, I post updates of it time to time. I'll explain the game and the story and show some art!!!
The game is a rougelike ("Another one??" Yeah, because I want to make one again) and I'm trying to make more engaging gameplay than my last two. The biggest problem from those two was how stupidly long and boring the levels took, I want to make levels where you do more than just killing. One idea I have is having to collect scraps in order to finish the level. Pepper is the main protagonist who you control and has basic movement and shooting. Although this time I decided to make the deuteragonist actually help out once again! Gary is Pepper's roommate and close friend, and he helps her out by punching and using other means necessary to kill the enemies. I plan to add a separate shop specifically for Gary so he can get some items alongside Pepper.
But who are Gary and Pepper actually? And why the fuck are they doing this shit in the first place? Well it's another third party entity who decided to change up their lives! TSUKIKO!! The cutie chaotic deity who forced them to do this shit.
Here's a simplified version of how they feel about each other
As for Pepper and Gary.. Pepper and Gary and roommates who are close friends, although both of them has fallen into a sort of depression after a certain event changed their entire lives.
Pepper is an artist who doesn't like her old artworks and occasionally tries to get back into art again.. but always fails. If you compare her to her time in college to now, you can tell there's a big fat difference. She's jobless and just sleeps, eats, and plays games with Gary in their apartment room. Short-tempered and filled with misery, she wants to go back to the past and experience happiness again.
Gary is a programmer and is currently working as waiter in a masked themed cafeteria. His co-workers don't know why he specifically wears his own mask during work when there are many options to choose from. Pepper is the only one who knows why. He's extremely rapturous and tries to exaggerate himself sometimes.. mostly because to make him feel less remorseful.
That's basically it so far! Stay safe guys

This was a nice reminder I still need to play your most recent game. This one sounds pretty neat!
