M.A.I.D.s – Development Diary 4

M.A.I.D.s

A new visual novel that tells the story of Mobile Autonomous Intelligent Devices (M.A.I.D.s), whose idyllic way of life in your household was ruined by an unknown and dangerous power. Socialize with M.A.I.D.s to oppose the antagonist, conciliate the conflicting girls, and maybe fall in love!

The story of M.A.I.D.s covers two weeks from the life of a human-android family. Each passing day will bring new adventures and challenges. In the end, heroes would find their fates in hands of a mysterious and hostile power. Everyday comical situations are intertwined with greater events, and seemingly insignificant choices influence the surrounding world. Currently, our visual novel is completed as follows: - The script is 100% complete; - Sprites are 100% complete; - Gallery is 100% complete; - Backgrounds are 100% complete; - Interface is 90% complete (we need to make some final adjustments and wait for the main menu background). We would like to show you a short gameplay video from the prologue: [previewyoutube=jcs-aq96hKY;full][/previewyoutube] Do you remember our male sidekicks? They will appear more or less frequently in several scenes. However, we also have a “second-grade” sidekicks, destined to appear only ones or twice. For them, we prepared the side images. That is how they look: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39157251/bf6919fd4ea7705b1324b32bc5f890148f14d966.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39157251/f23056bb4f97512f13abc94b1c37d9e10e9a97e1.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39157251/5dd9bc6764bc618ead6b0e5ef0c12bdba2f8d115.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39157251/fa63cd7c3b993b994b1e7730f10a8055aa27fd32.jpg[/img] A little more information about our gallery. The gallery will include biographical description for main characters. Each main character will have two gallery items with censored and uncensored version, plus several of them will have more. Here is our gallery panel: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39157251/16ad1c4f249ebf1d39fb013ed878b6f88a373cf5.jpg[/img] An example of the gallery’s screen with biographical details: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39157251/1c102447fcc74d5077132e0407e236877aebb6c0.jpg[/img] Interface development is ongoing, but we are ready to show the dialogue window, fonts and more: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39157251/4f5e1ea0a4a7085c2f3171d1d63d0cf2337bc8c5.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39157251/bdfc0898ebcfb0a1ed56760975af921f473435fb.jpg[/img] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39157251/24204f52d1bb980dd7683ebfa2166149b487533c.jpg[/img] Currently, we still have to conclude our beta-test and fix the remaining issues, as well as to continue our work on the interface and marketing campaign. The game is released on June, 11. Save the date!
