Travel DevLog 2 - Working with the devil on my shoulder.
Week 2 of development has been going well on Travel Devil 2. We’re setting it straight after the first game so you get to see how the dynamics of Tornacense and Kirby are changing as they get used to being around each other.

It’s great returning to these characters. I’m trying to make their drawings more exciting and dynamic. I’ve got a lot more time to make the character drawings now as I’m not working to game jam timeframes. I’m also going to learn to use the Renpy Action Editor to add more options to the movements in the game.
I’ve been working on many different aspects of the Travel Devil 2 to keep things interesting and motivating. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
Many more concept sketches were drawn. Now I need to get them looking swish on the computer.
Backgrounds and video footage of Amsterdam have been sourced to showcase in the vlog parts of the game.
Set up a Bluesky profile – now I just have to learn to use it :S
Spent a lot of time updating software – yay!
Planned some fancy menus for 1st game recap, unlockables and character profiles
Coded some of the game framework in Renpy
Drank a lot of tea (Woo rock and/or roll!)
I've been using the plot outline to build the framework for the game. Robert has been working away on the writing. He's already written the recap of the first game and the opening scene which we’ve been hammering out together.
We’re hoping to get Travel Devil 2 out this year if we can. However if you can’t wait, you can pop on the old humask and check out the (short) first installment here on itch.io.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope March is treating you well!
So things were hectic for many reasons last week, and thus I wasn't able to finish "Forget Me Nots Club" despite trying to throw myself into it at times!
I think I'm just going to need to admit to myself that I'm a perfectionist without a huge amount of time and thus "Forget Me Nots Club" is going to have to wait a little more to be done, so this time I won't give an exact time for when it'll be done as I'm uncertain when I'll be satisfied, so I'll just say soon! Hopefully before the end of November! :3
So right now, just check out the demo while I get this done and...
Might as well give another music sneak peek! :D
This one is Carmel's! For some reason I felt the need for theirs to stick out and be a bit different, probably since they look so different from the rest of the friends and almost completely enjoy the club with no drawbacks!... At first at least!
Travel devil 2 - Shame the Devil, tell the truth - DevLog 4
Well folks it's been such a week. I've had some extra work on this week but fear not... Travel Devil 2 continues its march through development.
This week I have
Designed some additional menu assets
Worked on a talk show set
Designed some apocalypse assets based in Paris
Learned about the national dish of the Netherlands - Stamppot (critical cultural research and tonight's dinner)
Paris has fallen to the unholy march.
Unfortunately the talk show set is still a work in progress as it's not coming together in a way that I like. Also things are going a bit slower than I’ve expected. Just gotta keep my head up and keep on with it.
I've also got some news about the writing. Robert has been leading the story development and has
Been writing many new scenes
Started a point of view chapter for our new character Chloe (art reveal coming soon!)
Finished a secret scene
Carried out location research about demonic art in Amsterdam

I'm glad to say that things are still moving forward. These devlogs help me to recognise that. Next week is going to be hectic as well so I'm going to try and focus on character art. I'm also hoping to make some time to play some visual novels. There's a few I've been meaning to try and I always find it inspiring to see what magical creations other people are making.
If you’d like to see how the infernal story began you can download the original Travel Devil narrative game for free on the Valhallions itch page. You can also see my side projects and asset packs on the DoubleFree itch page.
Take care everyone!

Introducing Lydia...
We're getting ready for Spooktober season with our upcoming escape visual novel - Lydia's Labyrinth!
Can you escape from her evil clutches and solve the mystery of your shared past?
For the third year we're taking part in Spooktober visual novel jam. Can't wait to see what everyone creates!
Spooktober Visual Novel Game Jam - Judging is LIVE!
And we got our game finished!
Hi and welcome everyone!
It's been a whirlwind this September but I'm delighted to annaounce that Travel Devil is live and a part of the jam!
It's a short VN about a botched demonic summoning turning into the adventure of a lifetime. Our host, Tornacense, finally escapes the administrative department of hell to pursue his dreams of becoming the hottest new content creator on Doomtube! But will all this exposure lead to unwanted attention from the upper echelons of demon society?
Travel Devil was made in collaboration with Robert from Valhallions. He was fantastic to collab with and got stuck in with all aspects of the game.
I worked on the coding, character design, image manipulation and GUI. I'm so glad we got it finished on time! It was a mad rush at the end and there were times we weren't sure we would make it. I'm still so tired but so happy!
Also, I can't wait to try the other entries in the jam. This is my favourite time of the year, it's going to be so much fun!
You can check all the games out here:

The season of scare's dark tendrils are ebbing away to make room for winter's symphony but if you have time for one more supernatural story, give Spirit Driver a go.
This wonderfully cozy Halloween story took the first place winner in the Spooktober Visual Novel game jam and I wished I played it sooner!
The game features a cast of humans and supernatural beings and a cab driver who seems to walk in both worlds. There's heart warming dialogue, subtle and witty jokes and lovely pixel graphic art.
If you're thinking about giving it a go, please do!
Anyone else love getting back to the basics? Been having a blast working up these paragraph dividers using a ballpoint pen and pencil!
