Developer Notes:

This is a short demo created to help me get familiar with the Ren’Py engine, including character creation and studio tools. The main goal is to gather feedback while I gain practical development experience.

The project is planned to have two main sides of content:

The protagonist’s daily life – a more traditional story experience.
The in-game world – featuring parody characters inspired by various titles.

For now, I will mainly focus on the parody side, as it allows for shorter and more manageable content while I build experience. The daily life content will still be worked on alongside this, but at a slower pace. Writing a fully original story and characters is something I find more challenging, so prioritizing parody content helps me build confidence and experience before expanding further. I am also still deciding if I should scrap original project until I’m more comfortable with it and release it as a standalone, open to advice.
