[After School-A Vocaloid RPG is Released]

After School-A Vocaloid RPG is a survival-horror Vocaloid RPG experience created using RPG MAKER VX ACE. Playing as Oliver, you find yourself in a "Spirit World," an alternate dimension hosted by a single corrupted spirit. You meet new characters, and help spirits along the way while keeping an eye out for the corrupted host spirit. The player must help Oliver escape this world safely, while navigating the dangers it throws his way.

Features:

  • 45-90 minutes of gameplay
  • Original soundtrack
  • Original art assets
  • Original story and characterization
  • At least 1 chase scene
  • Extra in-game content (the Scrap Room)

Please be sure to review the warnings and read all bolded important notes! This is, at its heart, a horror experience. If you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to one of the forms of contacts listed on the Itch.io page! If you can’t experience the game yourself but are still interested, I have a let’s play linked to the itch.io page!

Heya! I am still trying to get set up here, but this is Eddie! This blog isn't for a specific project but it's just a place where I can freely post about any game dev endeavors I do!

it won't update very frequently (probably) but if you don't want any spoilers at all for potential future projects (not even about sprites I might be working on), it's probably best not to follow!

I made a general game dev blog a while ago. Due to my ongoing medical issues, it won't be very active for a while until my condition stabilizes more but it's There and will probably still focus on Vocaloid fangames

Odd question: do you happen to have any character designs of Kaai Yuki corrupted? If not, that’s fine! The pixel art will be fine too!

Avatar

I'm not entirely sure what you mean ? Like concept art? Because it's a design based off of the Yuki from "Crushed Mary" by Mondaiji-P, I don't really have any concept art

if you want a not-pixel art drawing of her even if it's not necessarily concept art, she's just barely there at the far left of this very old image . i do not have any other images of her

What does Oliver do once he gets out? If he gets out? I know the game will be forever unfinished— but did you ever plan for the end? Does Oliver just return to society, and his sad life?

Avatar

I did plan an ending but it focused mostly on Mary and Yuki and the spirit world being gotten rid of, I don't remember if I ever planned an ending for Oliver besides that he would safely get out . wouldn't be surprised if I didn't because my disinterest in him as a character was what caused me to not finish this game in the first place RIP the poor kid

Question I thought of while playing! Even if it’s been months since I’ve asked anything: I know Fukase probably doesn’t have the best memory, so how long would it take him to no longer feel guilty about Ryuto?

Avatar

it doesn't ever stop feeling guilty about those kinds of things, it just manages to repress it until something causes it to come back to the surface--so as for how long it'll take for it to repress it and bounce back, I'd say a few days after helping Yuki and getting rid of her spirit world especially since I doubt it spent enough time with him to really get attached, but things like that will probably get it in its dreams at least

all icons I used in my Vocaloid fan game experience (formatted for rpg maker vx ace)

idk if these are useful to anyone but here they are anyway if anyone wants these available for personal and noncommercial use . the miku is kinda too specific to my game since they’re my own design but everyone else looks pretty generic. minor edits to expressions and resizing are ok but not much more beyond that please. dont use for anything offensive or inappropriate.

    I know it’s kinda sudden to just start posting these. I recently got RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 so I’ve been spending time looking into the files of games like Ib and it’s been really helpful to study, though I wished I could more easily look into the graphic assets (though it’s understandable why not). while I’m not confident in my own game programming and such to where I feel comfortable sharing an unencrypted version of it, I don’t really have issues with sharing assets so . might as well

Avatar

I realized I’m never going to use these assets again since I probably won’t be returning to using RPG Maker VX Ace, and I don’t mind other people using these. Feel free to use these for personal and noncommercial use. Just some notes:

1. These are optimized for RPG Maker VX Ace. I don’t mind them being imported into other programs but I can’t guarantee they’ll be a good size

2. While I don’t mind edits, I still want the people sprites to be recognizable (AKA I want my Miku sprite to still be recognized as a Miku instead of being recolored into an entirely separate character) idrc about the clocks and eye sprites and stuff tho

3. Credit would be very nice

4. If you want to mess around with the last sprite set, you’ll probably need to add a $ in front of the file name for RPG Maker to recognize it.

5. Please don’t use for anything offensive or inappropriate.

Made one last update! Fixes include:

*Edited minor errors like missing name tags and incorrect dialogue box types

*Added a character with who you can speak to to check your progress on lighting fireplaces

*Adjusted music volumes

*Added a few new lines of minor dialogue

*All notes in the scrap room actually say something now

The dialogue in the game shouldn’t change from this point on, so if anyone was interested in translating it, I actually have a script that can extract all the text in the game so I can hand those files over if I’m contacted privately. Otherwise, that’s all I have for this game :) (unless I do a Japanese translation of my own but that’d take a while no matter what)

    I’ve been pretty quiet here even though I’ve been talking about this game a decent bit on my Twitters so I figured I’d give an update! We reached 1K downloads which is super exciting since I didn’t think this game would reach that far in such a short period of time!

    I don’t have anything in particular planned? After watching a let’s play or two of this game, I started noticing a lot of things I wanted to fix + some common issues I noticed people are having with the puzzles, so when I get my school finals done, I’m hoping to prepare one last update with quality of life fixes + an in-depth walkthrough where I note different endings and pathways!

    One last thing, I don’t know if anyone’s been interested in translating this game but doesn’t know how to go about it, but I found a script that automatically exports all of the game’s dialogue and puts them into separate files, so if you’re interested, contact me privately and I can send them over! I recommend waiting until after I get the last update released though since I’m probably gonna have to add some new bits of dialogue

Will there ever be merch? Or do you have a merch store for your general account? (My New Years resolution for 2021 is gonna be: become top fan of After School Vocaloid Rpg)

Avatar

Oh my god I don’t think this technically incomplete game has nearly enough of an audience for that ahaha If I ever make a bigger Vocaloid-related game in the future, maybe????? But Fukase in particular might have some issues if I tried something like that ... Also the Yuki, Oliver, and Ryuto in this game will definitely not appear in the future :(

Working with merch companies and dealing with money like that sounds a little complicated though so I don’t even have a general merch store, the most I can do is handmake badges privately and contribute to zines

(Kinda spoiler) What happens when you swim in the pool when the sign says no-no swim time? (Aka, do not swim in pool)

Avatar

sorta spoiler ig?

O I didn’t make anything happen, if you try to get in the pool through the ladder you hit Invisible Wall--I don’t imagine Oliver is a very good swimmer so honestly you can think of it as him being like nah (maybe if i wind up updating again ill add a small comment about that actually

tho now that i think it, if ur swimming in the pool and someone happens to press the switch that causes all the water to drain out ......hmmm that doesn’t sound fun....

Avatar

I think what originally drew me to this game is that it reminded me of Oneshot, but now that I’ve actually looked into ur game I really like how fancy it actually is! You actually have a very unique idea(at least for me, I don’t do much horror stuff though) Good job!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Avatar

that is so funny you mention that because I have never played that game in my life before but the universe keeps aligning me with the artist for that game and im like @ world what do u want from me...

but thanks so much!! and thanks for asking questions!!! they were fun!!

Avatar

Sorry but after seeing this I kinda had to just:

Here have a few doodles, I’m sorry. XD

I guess it’s fanart but it’s also just a meme?? Don’t take it too seriously Lolol

If you need closer pictures just ask, or if you want me to doodle more characters in spots feel free to ask that too.
