DevBlog (wip) for upcoming narrative adventure/RPG game: Syrup & Dandi!
A fantasy rpg story of two women in a female-filled world where strength always tops! With a combination of comedy, mystery, romance and adventure , Syrup & Dandi will pull at your heartstrings and make you laugh all the same. This game is inspired by an effort to bring more LGBT inclusiveness and awareness into the gaming community.
Syrup and Dandi take an unexpected layover in Scarlett Star City —a thriving city for relishing in guilty vices. But to get there, Sy and Di must impress the Captains of each of the Four Communal Clans. Syrup and Dandi assume it will be easy enough, but under the bright lights and welcoming faces lies a deeper plot.
When the clans each have their own respective internal conflict, Syrup and Dandi are forced to become Mercenary Negotiators to bring harmony back to the houses and gain access to the Upper District.
Syrup is the absent-minded bumpkin who would quicker indulge in bad jokes and her vices than focusing on more serious matters.
Syrup's aloofness and snarkiness is kept in check, by her level headed Sister-in-Arms, Dandi. Syrup tends to not think before she speaks, which leads to many strangers to have a poor first impression of her -- leaving Dandi to be the one to cool them down.
Relying on her intuition quicker than she will any person, Syrup can still be motivated to go the extra mile for those who are suffering. She reserves respect until after action.
Oblivious to her own charm, the tank of the duo. Overly polite and sensitive at times, Dandi is the level-headed mother hen.
Dandi not only does she put out fires from Syrup’s brashness, but can also be a force to be reckoned with when angry (or hungry). She does her best to always do the right thing, and will usually overextend herself for strangers.
Dandi is quicker to trust, but can also turn on you just as quick if its found you're up to no good.
Game Type: 2D Turn Based RPG
Genre: Action/Adventure, Comedy, LGBT
Platform: PC / Mac / Linux
Syrup and Dandi will focus around turn based battles reminiscent of the old school Pokemon games. Each battle will have its own unique sets of characters and moves, as you control Syrup and Dandi to attack autonomously or through coupled moves for a bigger wallop!
