Our little team is happy to introduce to you our new game, called "By Myself"–A 2D story full of happiness, love and sadness as your character grows attached to its childhood town, all while maintaining the old family farm. Fights between siblings, unique love stories with many characters, various sexual orientations, and heartwarming or dramatic events await you. Discover, at many times of the day, new places hidden everywhere in the town! And as time passes, you'll be allowed to purchase more furniture and items for your room. First created on RPGMAKER VX/Ace, the game was completely redone with RPGMAKER MV. We kept the VX/Ace elements and tiles to maintain the harmony we tried to create in the maps.


Story.png

24 years is so young to realize what your purpose in life is, and to understand how “being an adult” works. But you’re young, so you still have plenty of time in front of you, don’t you?


Hiding their motives, your character (male or female) choses to spend their summer far from both university and your parents’ house, running away to your grandmother’s house in your childhood town. You haven’t set foot there since you were 12, but the air is still fresh as you remember. As you rediscover it, you meet people both familiar and new, and visit places old and new. Reunited with your three childhood friends, who try to cheer you up, you’ll have to find your purpose in this world.


Either you choose to help town folks run their businesses, or agree to help on the family farm; it’s up to you! Meet all 64 characters, including 25 dateable characters, each with its own bust and related story. Meet up with friends and go on dates at different places throughout the town, break-up, get married, and have children in this romance-oriented game. See people you care about die, as this is a true and an unfortunate twist of life, and watch others grow older by your side. Go to the festivals or have secret meetings with your friends; get a part-time job at the café or even at the animal’s sanctuary!


Enjoy your 10 in-game years, complete with 4 seasons of 31 days each! You may now choose what your life will be.

Carie

BF1 - Copie.png


Introducing the first tutorials instructor, Carie! It'll be her pleasure to show you around and explain the basics. The first childhood friend whose road will cross yours, she’s working at Mondalo Communications two days a week during her internship, so she’s only in town during summer. However, she’ll contact you from time to time during the whole year, from her university!



Angela

BF2 - Copie.png


Angela is one of your character's friends, and the second tutorials instructor. Her main purpose will be to explain how the relationship system works. Like Carie, she’s in town during her summer holidays, but she’s always available through your cellphone. Mature and calm, she’ll help you greatly when you find yourself in a bad mood.



Emmett

Emmet - Copie.png


Emmett is the boss at Mondalo Communications and is the first dateable character to be announced! He takes his work seriously but can be found at the Starry Billiards some evenings, playing with his friends. Strict at first, he warms up easily if you work for him.



Alex

Alex - Copie.png


Alex is a hard worker! He works day shift at Caffè Mocha and night shift at Starry Billiards, and he's the first bisexual dateable character. A little too charming, he’s often seen flirting during his job. However, he never misses a day. Maybe if you get close enough, you’ll get to know why he works that much.



Reina

Reina - Copie.png


Reina is the young heiress of a private financial institution, and will help your character invest money and gain long-term profits. She's the first female dateable character, and is bisexual. Since her parents’ divorce, she’s been taking care of her father business, so it made sense that she was appointed the CEO when he died. Unlike everyone else, she only eats at the restaurant, unable to cook something edible!



Cole

Cole - Copie.png


Cole is both a young journalist working at Mondalo Communications and one of your childhood friends. If your character is female, he's a dateable candidate! When hearing you’re in town, he’s the one who’ll throw you a huge party at the old barn. Unfortunately for you, this obstinate guy is also the first one to realize why you came back. As Emmett’s employee, he is often seen cursing at his overwhelming job.



Kylian




Kylian hot blood makes him perfect for his job as a police officer. Strong minded, yet cold and distant, he's the hardest to get among the heterosexual dateable candidates. Good luck trying to get close to him!



Matheo




Matheo is the first homosexual dateable character! This new recruit among the policemen cannot stand a day without teasing and make fun of people. His devilish behavior is well known in town, and children often bother him during works, hoping to see that side of him.

Analise




Analise is the first heterosexual dateable female. She's the sweetheart of  the town, appreciated by everyone. However, who flirts with her will face rejection once showing real interest in her; she insists that her little sister is way more important than dating. However, why is it that they both lives on their own, without any parents in sight? Don't you clearly remember their parents, living near your uncle's market?

new.png


Corine




Corine is Analise younger sister, High-school student at your sister school. She's an hopeless romantic, cheerful and optimistic all the time. The two sisters might look alike, but their personalities are opposite. What if the young girl tries to get closer to you on her own will?

Hairstyles!


For the main character! Clothes will follow, later!








Pssstttt, let me know which one you like the most :)  



Sponsor.png

The sponsor system is a way for us to be able to invest more in this game, as we have already invested a lot (for arts, sprites, tilesets, and scripting). You can sponsor any character listed under BG; this offer doesn’t apply to the dateable characters.


What it gives you: You get to chose the character’s name, birthday, and five major personality traits. In addition, you will also get to pick their room (between three different ones), “create” five quests for them (we’ll do all the coding; we leave to you the idea and the reward, as long as it’s reasonable). Once released, you’ll receive your copy of the game, and will be included in the credits under the “Sponsors” section. As a sponsor you  will receive, when the game will be complete, the Silver Thank You Package, which includes a pin-back button, a 40-page book filled with concept art, developments, comments, all the cheat codes, and a digital copy of the soundtrack!


Contact us for more information.



We're always open to idea, suggestion and criticism.


Credits.png


As a thank you, everyone whose name/username is listed under credits will receive a free copy of the game, if they accept it. If we forgot you, or someone you know, please don’t hesitate to tell us! We’ll fix that mistake ASAP.

We plan to get on Steam, if we're lucky enough! But yes, that's our goal!

In total :


7 heterosexual girls


7 heterosexual guys


3 homosexual girls


3 homosexual guys


5 bisexual characters


We wanted to create a great harmony, so we also included homosexual couples among the townfolks!

I love how you chose to make a game that freely explores human nature in a magical way! I´m more on the old fashion way(boy likes girl, and only that one special girl forever, and if it´s not her, then it´s no one...) but I can trully feel inspired by this! :kiss:


People have the amazing capability of always surprise us with something fresh and new and positive,and I think your game will hit that right in the spot. Congrats. ;)

Many thanks :) We did our best, for both the sprites and the maps!

That's a huge compliment, thank you!! We wanted something more closer to the reality we're living in, as break-up and same-sex couples, but we also carefully kept the old fashion "that special person, and if it's not her/him, it's no one!" (mostly because I'm an hopeless romantic!) But yeah, we wanted people to feel like this game wasn't treating them differently because of their sexual orientation. 


Again, thanks for this compliment, it means a lot for us.

We're starting working on the main characters! So far, we're done with the females hairstyles, but not confident we'll keep them all. Let us know what you think about it! Clothes and male hairstyles to follow later.
