Game Vine Studios has their own website and I'm on it! Check them out now!
Currently, we are working on the visual aspect and working out the final kinks in the script writing before we finish off the programming. Our Demo will be about 1/2 to 2/3 of Episode 1's Content and by far the longest episode. Thank you to everyone who is waiting patiently for the release, as we prefer the quality of the game over the time it takes to release. We may be semi-large compared to most indie game developers, but our schedules are always full, making it hard to get much progress done. Our hope is that episode 1 will be fully released by mid-2025 and our Demo Release by the end of this year; however, it may be pushed back. We are working with a lot of passion and hope for this dream to thrive, as this is the first game under Game Vine Studios.
Thank you for waiting so long, and I will see you in the next update!
So, we have bad news, my computer had to be replaced had to be replaced and I was unable to get all of the code off my last computer meaning that everything has since been deleted and completely reset. this means we have no progress on the game as of now and have a huge set back to overcome. I am so sorry to everyone looking forward to the game being released around December to January however that may not be possible.
This update is regarding the project. Please read to understand the current situation.
Hi everyone. If you aren't in the community Twitch server, or haven't heard yet. My house caught fire a few days ago on Sunday at 1:30 am. How exactly? A candle set a nightstand ablaze, which spread to everything else around it in a carpeted room. Everyone made it out safe, including pets, and the fire only got the upstairs. However, because of the fire and the damage it caused in five minutes, along with the fire department using a lot of force to extinguish the fire, my house now has fire, smoke, and water damage, and is currently deemed unlivable. Our insurance thankfully covers it; however, this sets back the project, any other projects I'm in or started, college work, and overall life. I am doing better than I was the last few days, but for a while, I felt like my body was still in the house, and I didn't make it out when I did. I think I'm able to finally grasp what happened, but we are still working through the difficulties, as we already had financial issues in general. The firemen told us that, similar to 911, the fumes created by the smoke and debris from the towers were carcinogenic to any of the people who ingested too much of it. The same thing is happening with our house. Chemicals that should have never been burned have and now we have to let it air out and settle. Now that you know what happened, how does this relate to Only Fools Scream? Since I am the only programmer and VA for MC (probably said that 100 times already), it will be slower, especially with midterms, finals, and the whole house being destroyed. I WILL BE WORKING ON THE PROJECT, so it won't be stopped completely or canceled, but do expect it to be slower with all the setbacks and being unable to record at the moment since my mic is still in said house. I will try to record or make storyboards for the animation team to get started, but so far, everyone is doing great.
Sincerely, Wakana/Director
We are now in the stages of finishing the last bits and pieces of coding, getting all background art finished, animations started, and sprites made, so we can move on to finishing all voice acting lines to put into the script. I know we are long past the due date thus far so I am truly sorry about the setbacks. However, we are making good progress thus far, and I am happy with how things are going. Thank you to everyone who has stuck by so far on this journey, and I can't wait to see what else is brought along the way!
