Behind Scenes 10
🕑 Added 2023-11-04 01:15:11 +0000 UTCHello, folks! Let's take a sneak peek behind the scenes here.
Right now, we have some important things to announce for the future of our project.
It's been a while since we started developing Our Home, but to be honest, the beginning was a bit tricky. We didn't quite know how to do everything the right way, so we had to learn a lot. Even though I have experience in programming and games, creating a visual novel romance from scratch turned out to be quite a challenge. But you know, I love a challenge.
During this time, I taught my wife what I knew, and she is now my main partner in development. She's the talented artist behind the beautiful images you see.
We acknowledge that the game's prologue wasn't all that great, and the main character had a, shall we say, interesting appearance, not to mention he looked a bit like Lord Farquaad from the movie Shrek. The idea was to portray someone who wasn't very fashion-savvy, living away from civilization for a while. We know he got a few laughs, but we decided to give him a makeover when the character went to the hairdresser and spruced up his look.
As we learned new things, the prologue got a bit neglected, but we always intended to redo it. Along with the scenes featuring Emily, which are being developed for the upcoming release, we have some flashbacks of the character's at the orphanage. It would be nice to depict these scenes with the main character redesigned, and that's who you see in the cover photo of this "behind the scenes" update.
Our idea is to gradually revamp the prologue without affecting the monthly releases of new content. This will happen in parallel and seamlessly, and we have no idea when it will be completed, as we are really focused on bringing new content to you.
(Don't worry, when everything is finished, you'll be able to play the prologue without having to restart the game. It will work like a replay! 😄)
Okay, which part of the prologue will be exactly re-work?
We understand that the rework ends when the character gets a haircut, and until then, all images will be redone, and all texts will be improved.
Let's take a closer look at the new MC
Bellow, you see the character before the makeover in two situations:
- Adulthood up to before the haircut.
Bellow, you see how he turned out after the change in three situations:
- Adulthood up to before the haircut.
- Our hero in his current style.
We tried to maintain the idea of a simple country boy, just sprucing up the appearance and adjusting the skin and clothing a bit. We sincerely hope you like what we're doing and that we achieve our goal. If you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to ask
See you next time! 😄

It's fantastic to have this view of Our Home. Your journey from the initial challenges to where you are now is truly remarkable. Learning and evolving is part of the game development process, and it's clear that you're embracing it with enthusiasm. The transformation of your main character is quite intriguing, especially the evolution from the interesting appearance to the new revamped version. It's great to see that you're paying attention to detail and striving to create a character that fits perfectly into the storyline. The commitment to improving the prologue while providing fresh content is commendable, and the idea of it working as a replay is a clever way of keeping everyone involved. The new look of the main character is a significant improvement, and I can't wait to see how these changes will enhance the overall experience of the game. The simplicity of the country boy concept with a few tweaks seems like a great approach and I'm sure it will be well received by players. keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing Our Home continue to evolve and captivate players. If you need any feedback or have any more updates to share, don't hesitate to let us know. good luck on your journey of continuous development!
