Cookie Cutter Heroes

Nani?!

After a very, very long hiatus (if you exclude my IGMC entry, which... is still pending...???) from gam-mak, I decided to revive this long-dead project of mine. Originally made for the MV Olympics back in 2015 over the course of one week, it was a way to experiment with the newest and shiniest maker on the scene.

Its also supposed to be a sort of break-away from my serious projects with their equally serious female leads. So far my games have had exactly one male lead, at that was Lawrence from LoA.

As for my characters, Lexie is brash, loud, a little crude, and prefers to silence people with her fists rather than a sword.
Her wonky friend Zooey claims to be a purveyor of fine cuisine, until one discovers she only took up magick so she could brew the perfect orc stew.

Yes, 'Orc Stew'. Or soup. As long as Zooey can get her hands on any orc, any sort of cuisine will do.

The village that they find themselves in (Bakersville, Pop. 42) can be summed as a town of cloud cuckolanders. The villagers are so oblivious to danger that their town motto "We know no fear, show no mercy" may seem like some tough-guy facade to repel unwary travellers.

Fact of the matter is, they no NOTHING. These villagers are so brainless that they mistake the rampaging orcs for 'cute green piggies' who are intelligent creatures who know how to help themselves to anything... even the occasional, hapless villager. And that's where our two gormless heroines come in...


Crazy, yes. Don't ask me about her horrid taste in cuisine. Orc cuisine probably smells as bad as it looks. Maybe she eats with a peg over her nose. No wonder Lexie doesn't want to date her.


I seem to have a thing for spiky-haired heroines. Must be the 'Laine gene'.


Combos are hella fun to stack, especially once Lexie starts dishing out multiple punches to Babbie's wobbly green belly. That belly-button is revolting, though.


As I try to get accustomed to MV's plugins, I'll try to make this project as RTP as possible. I find that if I make original graphics, it deviates away from my true purpose, which is to make a fun game. Not to mention it... can be a bit of a time-sink. As I found with the case of LotL (I found an old copy of the game that had around 10-hours of game play on it, found on an Angry Birds flash drive that I thought was lost for good).

The game is still an early WIP, but when completed it will probably take around... 2-3 hours at most to finish? Then I can start muddling with ideas for my next 'big project'. Hint: Old school jRPG with modern quirks. No teenage protags allowed.

Here's to a happy 2018! >:D
