Tsarmina 2,612 Posted December 16, 2014 unreasonably proudly presents.... Story: 95%Characters: 90%Graphics: 20%Eventing: 02%Databasing: 30% Mapping: 30%Overall progress: Getting tougher :< Welcome, welcome! I’m Tsarmina, resident redhead and confuzzled game designer. Sugar Sweet is meant to be a short, cute, and completely adorabilus game! And of course, it’ll be sweet. As always, tankyas for supporting me in my endeavour! I love you all! XOXOXOXO"There’s a tale from a long, long time ago. Yes, it’s one of those ancient tales that people think never happened." One kingdom. Two enemies. This could get ugly! The little enchantress Brie has about had it with her arch nemesis, and she’s ready to curse him into oblivion. Whoops! She’s accidentally cursed both of them…into a land that holds only mystery (and cuteness) for them both. Now lost with the Sugar Realm’s queen on their tails, the two enemies now are forced to team up to fight their way out of this place…or else! Two enemy forces clash in an epic(ally cute) tale of love, lies, and rebellion, all dusted off with a fluffy layer of creme and sugar. Sugar Sweet is guaranteed to melt in your mouth and leave you with a warm aftertaste. ♥ "May I see your IDs?" Sugar Sweet features an adorable and vibrant cast. The number of characters is very limited, mostly because I wanted to avoid a situation like my other game, Ariel, which features a ridiculously huge cast. @_@ "Look look look! It’s beautiful!" I prefer to parallax my maps for amazing pretty effects and light thingies and artistic happiness and pure bliss or joy. ^-^ My maps features battleback pieces, tiles from artists--all of whom I love very much--and my own creations and graphics. Sugar Sweet aims for a very minimal amount of maps so I can complete this game in a reasonable amount of time, but I assure you, the ones that are in the game are bright, exciting, and stuffed full of objects and materials to investigate, learn about, and collect. Whether you take the exploratative route is up to you~ "These boxes full of…um…prawn-a teeth. What are these??" When you live in a place called the Sugar Realm, there have to be some terms that you don't know! "You have to understand the connection." Sugar Sweet is created in a cute, simple fashion with a battle system inspired by Indrah. To be honest, it’s probably a hybrid of Indrah’s mod styles (ISOI) and animated sideview (Victor? Holder) with a bunch of edible goods thrown in. "A spoon full of sugar…brightens my day!" So something has to set Sugar Sweet apart, right? Well…I try. "You're making me blush! Stop it!" THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You guys are the absolute BOMB. I LOVE YOU! °˖✧â—(â°â–¿â°)◜✧˖° by Allusion. Thank you for your gorgeous art X3 Brie looks like such a sweetheart! by Whiona.

KayakoChan 318 Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Looking very bright and pretty! I love your mapping, and Brie looks absolutely stunning Love the other characters too, Even though Clem and Omri look a little long-faced! (Which actually reminds me of an anime called "Revolutionary girl Utena"! A series I did rather enjoy.) All in all, it looks very lovely, I'd like to see this project as it goes on~ Edited December 17, 2014 by KayakoChan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be very interested in trying this when it comes out. It's not all sugar. ^-^ But that is a major point in the game. Plus it makes it cuter. :3 Looking very bright and pretty!

I also love that your drops are not the oh so over used gold. Yeah, I wanted to make sense with the whole gold thing. (Props to Galv for inspiration!~) As for the matriarchal thing...yep! Who needs the hero?? (Well I guess Clem is a hero, but hey. Protagonist is Brie ) My goodness Tsarmina... This is really beautiful! ^-^ I'm thinking of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at those candy sweet maps xD you must teach me your ways, they really look inspiring!! xD *heavily breathes out* I'll be looking forward to the rest in the future!

Heartfeltcurse 195 Posted December 17, 2014 while I don't think there's anything wrong with monsters dropping gold (and hey, some times, anime and games make it make sense, like Log horizon explained why it happens, though it was a setting-specific explanation) I think its really interesting and kinda unique that you made it so the player can't become a millionaire by killing millions of slimes (assuming you have slimes in this game). Also, I love the artwork, good work tsarmina 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I love the artwork, good work tsarmina Yeah, unfortunately there would be no reasonable explanation as to why a bouncing apple (yes Knighty, you heard me correctly) would be carrying amounts of gold. O_o There might be slimes. Maybe they're made of jell-o. Thanks about the artwork too ^^ I've just seen this topic. Looks like it will be totally awesome! And beautiful! Great job so far, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this. The artwork and the maps look very pretty. Thanks! I'm working very happily on it. It's not as...draining as Ariel. hehe~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsarmina 2,612 Posted December 21, 2014 Hey, look, it's news. :3 Spectre is nice enough to help me develop Sugar Sweet, since I'm a tota doofus when it comes to databasing, skills, and battle systems--which, since Sugar Sweet focuses on these elements...I was kind of in need of help....XD Anyway, if you haven't seen him around, you will soon enough. His picture might be of a blue-haired girl's but I assure you, he is a guy. >w<" And yep! He's given to a-ok to help me with this project, so now he's on board. I'm not a lone dev anymore 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre 829 Posted December 30, 2014 Heya y'all~ Spec here, Tsar's partner in crime. Little update: Not much is happening. Rest assured though, the both of us should be freed up by the New Year's. And in the spirit of festivities, here's my gift to everyone: some previews for the busts used for two of the 'antagonists': Basil and Anise: 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
