Character Design
I am digging this face. 🤔

So this is interesting, this came out closer to what I originally wanted the Love Lock stalker to come out as, when I WAS trying to make it along the style of Umbra as it's going to be in her game :S oof. XD time to start over, really like this though.
Writing Sample
So I'm working on my character Umbra.. for the small collab game I'm making with two others here on discord.
I'm writing a piece of dialog that I find rather amusing and wanted to share.
thought "If earthly pleasures is what she's looking for, I could..."
"I think to myself quickly, considering my words wisely."
me "There's other...{w} better.{w} pleasures in this world."
"I get a bit flustered with what I'm suggesting."
"But if it will spare me then I will fuck this angel."
umbra "Other pleasures?"
"She looks at me with curiosity."
umbra "What pleasures?"
me "Have you ever heard of...{w} sex?"
"I get noticeably uncomfortable at the mention of it."
umbra "Sex?"
me "Yes... it's when... uh..."
"I find it hard to bring the words up but I can tell she's growing impatient."
me "Two people... uh... {w} fuck..."
umbra "What is fuck?"
"I can barely look at her anymore..."
thought "Oh my god, she knows about torture but not sex?"
"I can barely stand the embarrassment."
me "It's pleasurable... That's the only way I can really explain it."
umbra "More pleasurable than-"
"I cut her off before she goes back to the topic."
me "Way more pleasurable."
umbra "Then lets do it. Lets do this fuck."
"My face turns bright red realizing that she expects me to engage in sex with her."
me "Well see... you usually do it with someone you love... and... well I just met you..."
"She grabs a hold of my arm pulling me closer."
umbra "Show me how to fuck."
Umbra
Working on a Collaboration project with two friends in my spare time.
This is what I've come up with so far.
Trust Me
So I've had some other game concepts I've been working on that I want to share some are of the nsfw/porny genre and some are just mystery/horror. But I'd like to gauge the interest in them. I plan on working on them after Love Lock.
The first one I have been developing I call shishigami, It was the word-made up word lol that triggered the idea. I always struggled with the whole porn aspect of Love Lock as I found it limiting in regards to where I can share it. So Shishigami was conceptualized in the process. Later to be renamed as Trust Me.
The character art and GUI is mine but the rest is just placeholders I don't own them. I turned them into art pieces (backgrounds) to experiment and grew attached. I tried to reach out to the owners to see if I could use the pieces but I could't find them or didn't hear back. I was thinking I would create a 3D model of a abandoned school for this project.
**Concept of Trust me:
A group of students in an exploring club go on a field trip to an abandoned school, for some Urban exploration, but when you enter the school 1 of the students gets possessed (1 of the nine each time you start a new game it will be a new student it's randomized) The car will get destroyed and that scream you hear in the video is cause one of the students found a dead body, the first dead body found will be the teacher.
They have to figure out who the killer is before he/she kills you.
The game starts off in a normal school visual novel setting though, you get to know people and accumulate affection points "dating" or whatever
This is for later in the game, the more someone likes you the more they will cooperate with you while you try to navigate this dire situation.**

Statistics
Some Statistics on Keep or Kill right now:
The game contains 457 dialogue blocks, containing 3,908 words and 19,700 characters, for an average of 8.6 words and 43 characters per block.
The game contains 9 menus, 31 images, and 38 screens.
Itch Page
It's not public but I've started working on the itch page :3
Still don't know what to write for it's description though...
Update
hopped in for a screen shot for LoveLock's arcade but this is the first time I'm seeing it all together!
Banner WIP
Thinking this might be the itch banner (but with the finished background) Which means I got to make the background now which is hilarious cause I'm only making this logo right now so I can put it in the aracade background of Love Lock as a easter egg xD
Logo Design
Really thinking it's a toss up between these two. One is the latin symbol for "or" thats not commonly used anymore.
From Google: But in the same period, many other abbreviations was frequently used in Latin. One of these was for another frequently used conjunction: “vel”, meaning “or”. Such abbreviations typically contained prominent letters of the word, including the initial one. For this word, however, the abbreviation unusually consisted only of the last letter, ‘l’, with a stroke across it: ‘ꝉ’.
or ꝉ :P
This ⊕ which is a symbol in mathematics for or as well
Alternatively I could use the reversed caret ∨ but I kind of like how the other two have crosses in them.
Logo Design WIP
Been trying to come up with a logo/Icon game title logo thing.
These are the options I've got so far. I'm pretty torn :S I'm still not sure if this is going to be final but I'm thinking 3rd from the top.
Originally I had an inspiration in mind.
But I could not find a curly font I was satisfied with, I also really wanted a cross to be somewhere in the mix.
Character Creation
Working on a new look for Theodore, so far this is what I've got
Really want his hair to be red/orange to match the color scheme but the white in a half colored state looks better 🤔
Sprite Art
Not his actual image, but it's an idea of what I'm aiming for. What I do know will be specific is he will have a comb over, he will be a redhead, and he will wear greens with an apron and gloves. But I did want to make him look younger.
Writing Sample
A bit of writing from Purified (Title in Progress)
m = Me
k = Killer
m "You're insane!"
m "You need help!"
m "This is wrong!"
m "This isn't saving anyon-"
k "I AM NOT INSANE!"
k "ok!"
k "I'm not... insane."
k "God spoke to me."
k "And told me, to save your souls."
k "This is god's will."
"He sighs at me and rolls his eyes."
k "Of course you wouldn't understand."
k "I didn't expect you too."
"His voice is filled with distain and he looks a bit disappointed in my reaction."
k "That's fine, in the name of god, I will save you."
k "Even if you can't see it yourself."
Thoughts
I created the background to the future game I am planning.
It's going to be a story about a serial killer who creates snuff for his viewers but also feels like he's doing an act of god, cleaning up the filth. It was inspired by a scary ASMR and while listening to it I thought, o.o what if this was a game?!
The character is yet to be developed but he will probably be a lot like Walter but much older, he'll most likely wear a butchers apron and a mask. This game won't feature any sexual activity, it'll more or less be like Strade in BTD. I haven't figured out what the gameplay is going to be like outside of the general concept, but I'll most likely incorporate a bunch of stuff from Love Lock into it like health bars and timers.
Just a tease
So not going to show you guys this, as its a teaser I want you to find in game 😈 But I can officially say that the stalker has a business card and you can acquire it. 😏
Update
It now tracks persistent data so we can check to make sure all content plays no matter how many times you replay the game :3! This is going to be so helpful!!!
Once again it only shows what I called the segment of writing and that doesn't really tell you how to get to said segments or not but it helps to let you know if you've viewed everything or not so I miiiight maybe keep this a permanent feature maybe. I'm not sure my label names are... not majestic XD embarrassed
Update
Got a thing done with some help from a friend!
So I briefly spoke about this in (Discord) for the Beta testers but what this is for is to help track what has and hasn't been seen for Game testing purposes. I want to find out if all of these values are eventually TRUE. Otherwise stats have to change. This is basically to check that the player is able to lose enough sanity to trigger certain content and that it's not completely blocked off cause you can't lose nearly that much with the choices available to trigger content, thus having content completely blocked off and inaccessible to the player despite being coded in.
This is sadly not persistent data it only will show results for 1 play through, as soon as you start a new game it will all disappear.
Update
David's route has all endings capped now! 🥳 There's content missing in-between but otherwise all David's endings are written!!!! He ends with 53 endings. Kiiiiiiiind of makes me think I need to extend everyone else's route but... I'm going to silence that thought for now. >.>
4 Characters down, 6 Left to go.
...
Also!
Statistics:
The game contains 22,064 dialogue blocks, containing 201,051 words and
1,004,030 characters, for an average of 9.1 words and 46 characters per block.
The game contains 435 menus, 953 images, and 281 screens.
From Google: 201,000 words is 402 pages single-spaced or 804 pages double-spaced. Typical documents that are 201,000 words or more include full-length novels. It will take approximately 670 minutes to read 201,000 words.
So I guess Love Lock is officially a full length novel :open_mouth:
Writing sample
Writing snippet from The Hunters route:
He pulls out his dick from his pants, its more erect than it should be in this situation."
"I stare at it and then him bewildered."
Hunter "Don't look like you ain't never seen a cock before."
"I ignore his chide comments to demean me."
player_thought "This can not be happening."
player_thought "I'm going to be raped in the woods by a crazy man."
player "Jesus."
Hunter "I like to think it's impressive too."
"Once again I ignore him."
Chapter Graph
It just occurred to me that I should outline what my goal is, so you can tell which graphs have succeeded in achieving the goal and which haven't. The red line is where I want all routes to hit.
Thoughts
Also good news, there is 3 endings left to write for David and then all creative writing is done for him! 🥳 Just wanted to celebrate that. Then it's on to the, SFX, Voice, Music, Special effects, sprites, and animation all need to be added in.
Also I've got a better idea on Daniela and might be looking at giving her an extra day as well as a few more CG's. But that's last on my list.
...
Oh it's also just occurred to me, I haven't given you guys a word count in a while.
Statistics:
The game contains 21,778 dialogue blocks, containing 198,585 words and 991,769 characters, for an average of 9.1 words and 46 characters per block. The game contains 432 menus, 947 images, and 275 screens.
Roughly 11.1 hours
Chapter Graph
So I counted up the current amount of CG's in Love Lock: there are 79(?).
I was touching up David's route mostly this month and lolol I do not like him XD mostly cause he is the odd duck graphically, he's got more everything but the same amount of words. Mostly cause it's easy for his endings to pile up. Like: "Whoops you fell off a cliff", "Whoops you got too close to a bear". They're all very sudden which is why there's so many.
I made some charts to show the progress of each route, and David being the odd one out.
Art Upgrade
Found this last night. I didn't know I redid it, or well I forgot I redid it. I only found it cause I was searching for a psd in the photoshop menu instead of opening it from a folder so I got a glimpse of the art and was like "WHOA I don't remember redoing this?!" So yea, more upgraded art, that were all seeing for the first time, including me 😅
This must of been some time after I changed the artwork for Sebastian's face. as I'm seeing the new line work in this. Must of been shortly before I went on hiatus, as my memories really foggy around that time... :S
