We helped out with making character sheets!
Similarly with finalizing the assets and sprites for the mini-game, we collaborated with the team, making sure they fit with the art of the game.
This was a fun project.

During our absence, we worked on matching our sprites to the art style & created variations of things like the end screen. We couldn't have finalized the assets for the mini game without the team's feedback! Also, we finished our stress bar! Look!

We've begun working with the audio manager to add some responsive heartbeat sounds. We've also declared the amount of chances the player has in the mini-game, and added feedback for successful & failed attempts.

Hello! It’s us again, the Art Interns!
This week, we tweaked our mock ups based on the feedback we got from the team. We changed the result screens to make each more unique & impactful. As a side quest, we're exploring 3 new concepts for a stress meter!
Enjoy these pics~

#ADV #visualnovel #ノベルゲーム
An Afro Latina woman in a white top looks worried in front of a stepped white-grey-black background. Testing the background animation of the mini game intro sequence. A black textured bar covers the screen horizontally with the word 'Breathe' on top, and a figure behind it is glitched in chroma and saturated colors, red, cyan, yellow, magenta, green, and blue. A variation mock up of the mini game intro sequence. Three screenshots lined vertically of a figure with text in front of her face. "FAILED" in red in front of a shadowed stressed figure; "PERFECT" in white font, with a warm yellow rear light in front of a smiling figure; and "SUCCESS" with a white rear light and a gray shadow in front a pleased figure. Editing and testing different mini-game result screens based on feed back. 3 Different concepts for stress meters. The leftmost meter concept depicts a calm cyan figure, a worried yellow figure, and a stressed red figure below three vertical bars, each with progressively increasing rainbow gradients from cool to red. As stress increases, the figure will change expressions and the bar will fill. The rightmost meter concept features a vertical bar with an arrow tip on each end. With each mistake, the meter will fill with red, and the top arrow lights up red. When stress goes down, the bottom arrow will light up blue. The bottom concept features a black silhouette of protagonist Celia and will fill up with red as stress increases. Debating if her eyes and expressions on top interfere with the legibility of the meter or add just enough charm.

Now it's our turn!
We Programming interns are working on a stress relief game about breathing. It includes an expanding circle graphic, checks for spacebar input, and conditionals that lead to different endings. Have a peek at some of our current code below~

#ADV #visualnovel #ノベルゲーム
Python code that renders the circle image, and checks to see if the spacebar is being pressed down. If so, it will grow and increase the circle image, and if not, that the image will stop. Python code that further implements the increasing size of the circle: from the size of the image, the rate at which it will increase, to the final state of the image. Python code beginning the conditionals for after the mini game ends. The game checks how many successful and failed attempts were made to determine the ending/result the player will receive. Python code featuring if/else statements to determine which ending the player will receive after the mini game.

Hello!
We're the two art interns for Clock Out at 2's new upcoming mini-game! Along with programming interns, we're making a mechanic that would be a modifier to how much stress our protagonist Celia gains.

Here's our storyboard mock-ups of the intro & gameplay so far!
#ADV #visualnovel #ノベルゲーム
A shadowed figure, lit from behind in white, with a circle UI in the center. Mock Up Gameplay Concept. An ominous, scribbly figure in white, on a black scribbly background. A mock up of the intro transition of the mini game. Key frames from the story board featuring a panicked female figure shrouded in black gradually calming down.

Everyone needs a soft place to land after a stressful day at work.

And that soft place could very well be a family member. One of Celia's softest places to land is her grandmother. In fact, Celia needs to Clock Out at 2 to get back home to Abuela!
