Been busy this week, but wanted to drop by and say thank you guys for 100 browser play for the web version of #BotanyBoysVN!

For anyone interested, this version doesn't need to be downloaded to play: project-purple-supernova.itch.io/web

Thanks for 70 downloads! The art of Theo as Ariel has nothing to do with the milestone, I just wanted to draw him like that.

#BotanyBoysVN #art #visualnovel #IndieGameDev #indiedev #AmareGame
A mermaid with red hair, tan skin, a seaweed choker, purple seashell bra, and green tail is braced against a rock while waves crash against it. The art references a popular image of the Disney princess Ariel in the same pose.

Hey, guys, sorry for lack of updates this week. The team's been pretty busy with summer ending so development has slowed down a bit, and I haven't really been checking social media (whoops). But we're still working our hardest!

Hopefully, we'll have more for you all next week! o7
#BotanyBoysVN
Three characters are piled on top of one another. The bottom one has long, purple hair with a middle part and a hoodie with yellow sleeves and an orange hood. The one in the middle is an off-white fish character--its eyes are swirls to show a dazed expression. The one on top is a girl with pink hair tied back into a ponytail with a large ribbon, little ears resembling a rabbit's on top of her head, and a whitish-pink outfit with short, puffed sleeves. There is a dark magenta shape framing them and a light purple background.

I realized I had posted the concept designs for the other boys in #BotanyBoysVN but not Theo since he needed a whole ass sheet to himself. Ignore the one that's partially erased--dragged that portion to his final design in the corner.

#IndieGameDev #indiedev #AmareGame #visualnovel #art
Multiple designs are shown in a grid with three rows, which are labeled A, B, and C, and four columns. A1's design is very pirate-like in appearance, featuring a puffy blouse, belt with square buckle, and thigh-high boots. A2's design features a long-sleeved shirt with ruffles at the cuffs, waist-high pants with four buttons in the front and flaring at the ankles, and simple shoes with a stripe going down the middle. A3's design is almost priest-like with something resembling a stole on top of a shirt that flares at the wrists and pants that are long and flowy. A4's design is reminiscent of a superhero, featuring a bodysuit with a braided design running down the sides into knee-high boots. A long cape completes the look. B1's design has the torso almost completely erased. However, baggy cargo pants are still visible. B2's design includes a choker, a puffy blouse with a wide, ruffled crewneck collar and melon sleeves that stop at the elbow. A waist corset cinches the shirt and has a small half-skirt flowing off the back end. B3's design is butler-like with a simple vest on top of a shirt that is rolled up at the sleeves and features simple slacks and shoes. B4's design is pirate-like, depicting a coat with tassels hanging off the shoulders, a belt holding up baggy pants, and knee-high boots that are folded over at the top. C1's design has a shirt similar to B2's with the puffy melon sleeves at the elbows and wide collar. A corset with shoulder straps and a long piece of fabric hanging off the back lays on top of the blouse. C2's design has a simple T-shirt with a turtleneck collar and loose, flowy pants held up by a braided belt. C3's design seems inspired by Chinese men's hanfu at the top and women's modern qipao at the bottom (ending at the knees). Knee-length leggings are seen under the outfit. C4's design depicts a cape covering the right shoulder, a shirt with short, ruffled sleeves tied at the waist by a ribbon, and fabric in the back with a scalloped edge.

I keep forgetting to post because I think to myself, "I'm gonna post this right before work." But then I think about work and go to work without posting. Thank you guys for helping us hit 60 downloads for #BotanyBoysVN!

The top of the image has the words "Thanks for" in orange floating above a young man. The man can only be seen from the bust up. His hair is black at the top and orange at the bottom and reaches past his chin, and he's wearing a green hoodie. His hands reach up to form the number 60 in front of his face while his blue eyes with brown pupils peer through the circular portions of the numbers 6 and 0, and his mouth forms a big smile.

Last post for #pride month! We have Bella from #BotanyBoysVN with the genderqueer flag palette. She doesn't become a magical girl in the story, but, if she did, I'd imagine she'd look something like this.

#art #visualnovel #IndieGameDev #indiedev #AmareGame
A young girl stretches her legs out toward the side of the screen while her arms rest between them. Her bangs are pulled back with a ribbon, and her long hair flows freely in the same direction as her legs. She wears a dark body suit that stops at her elbows and halfway up her neck. The body suit has lines running down the sides that curve to create triangular shapes halfway down the thigh before continuing down. The girl is also wearing tall boots that cut off a couple inches below the knee with bows at the top and on the front and a white, cropped T-shirt with a sailor collar that has a bow in front layered on top of the body suit.

I FORGOT TO POST BEFORE LEAVING THE HOUSE TODAY. Don't worry, I didn't forget Cameron so here he is with the colors of the MLM flag

#BotanyBoysVN #visualnovel #AmareGame #IndieGameDev #indiedev #art #pride
A young man with shoulder length curly hair, glasses, a bomber jacket, a T-shirt, jeans, and a backpack is depicted with one hand holding what seems to be a bus hand strap and the other hand in his pocket--he's colored using various shades of blue. The background is colored with various shades of green and there are two women sitting to the right of the man and one person also holding a bus strap to the left.

It's Liam and the Trans flag today! Looking back, I should've added deeper shadows, but I was too focused on trying to get the perspective right

It doesn't quite look like him, but we got the Ace flag and Theodore today. I wanted to mess around with lighting and fashion a bit.

#BotanyBoysVN #visualnovel #art #pride #IndieGameDev #indiedev #AmareGame
A person is depicted sitting against a gray background. They're wearing white gloves that only attach to the base of the middle finger, a white outfit with a sweetheart neckline, a choker with thin chains hanging off of it in loops, and a feather accessory in the hair. The hair is long and drapes over the shoulder. The person is looking at the viewer with a rather detached look as their arms cross in front of them in a self-hugging gesture as the lighting suggests a spotlight is on them.

The wheel spun the aromantic flag and Finley today. I love long, flowing hair and wanted to try some harsh light from above for dramatic effect.

#BotanyBoysVN #art #pride #IndieGameDev #indiedev #visualnovel #AmareGame
A young man is depicted from his shoulders up, his face pointing to the sky--eyes closed--and his hair flowing upwards. The man himself has no color and is black and white. The background, in contrast, is a gradient that starts from light green at the top and fades into a slightly darker green at the bottom.

Today the wheel spun the bisexual flag and Oliver, and he ended up looking sort of like a vampire--but a cool one. I ended up layering the blue to get some darker values in there.

#BotanyBoysVN #art #pride #IndieGameDev #indiedev #AmareGame #visualnovel
A young man is depicted leaning against what seems to be a bed. He's sitting on the floor and turning his head to look at the viewer, his short hair falls away from his face and he's wearing a T-shirt. The room is bathed in dark blues and lighter purples. There is a strong, hot pink highlight indicating lighting from a screen. A crumpled blanket can be seen in the bottom left corner on the bed. The background, completely bathed in dark blue, shows abstract square shapes that may resemble a bookshelf and desk and a chair.

Happy Pride Month! Used the color of the Intersex flag to draw Zuma from #BotanyBoysVN today.

Just know, the flags I use for the boys are not necessarily canon to their identities. I spun a wheel because I like randomization.

#art #pride #IndieGameDev #indiedev #AmareGame
A young man is depicted lying down in what seems to be a field of flowers. There are only two colors: yellow and purple. The yellow is used for the man's hair, which flows around him, and for the outlines of his face, his body, and the flowers. The purple is used for his skin tone, the color of the flowers, and the outlines and shadows in his hair. The man has a serene expression with his eyes closed, and his left hand is resting near his face.

Happy Pride Month! Will probably post art of the boys for pride as the month goes on.

I did some quick doodles of potential mascots I might use since I want the boys to lean towards their magical girl roots--so let me know which ones you guys like! (Yeah, I'm there as a marketable plushie)

We recently hit 50 downloads! I didn't think we'd ever reach this point, but thank you all for playing the game--I truly am grateful.

Oliver is helping me code because the game is officially back in development! Watch for future updates for the #BotanyBoysVN o7

Since I drew the early birds a while ago, here's the not-so-early birds. And honestly? That's me.

Development on the game will resume shortly, thank you all for being patient with me!
