“A Beginner’s Guide to Hiding a Body. Written by Griffith A. Johnson.”

“EPILOGUE.

Someday in your life, you will find yourself in a situation that may not be preferable to others.

Many have met the same situation, and many meet the same fate as the last because they don’t understand the art of hiding something.

I’ll be your mentor for this, and, if you are to find that you have killed someone, whether it be on accident or on purpose, you may be able to find this guide helpful in the near future.”

11/20/23 UPDATE (The long awaited second update!)

suppppp. back at it with another intriguing update for you indie game folk.

(little fact- i accidentally posted this BEFORE it was finished. thank GOD this page isn't too popular.)

we have here... that's right! we have here 3 new characters!! comin' straight outta the fiery puts of hell!

as you all know, we have 3 of the 6 main characters (that i can show that won't spoil much) down, and i've recently started typing up the plot... so you all know that means i have the last 3 done, right?going in order now, we have...

Griffith Johnson. we all gotta know this fella by now.

he's stoic, sketchy, tired, and probably a minimum wage worker. really important character here, being the main one and stuff. (fun fact #1- griffith's design is based off of the elsens from OFF, having the work attire and such.)

another character you probably know...

Archur Willow, who i personally enjoy.

he's a nervous wreck and a paranoid denialist, who denies everything bad, even up to his own emotions. he rejects the idea that he's not doing fine, although he DEFINITELY ain't ok. he's also just generally scatterbrained, and not organized. (fun fact #2- archur is a british man, which means he has a british accent.)

THIS IS IT, BOISENGIRLS! a NEW CHARACTER, AFTER ALL THIS TIME!!

ok people... drumroll please?!

*drrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

AHHHHAHAHAHAAA, TIS RIGHT! the FIRST GIRL CHARACTER in a previously ALL BOYS GAME!!

*ahem, ahem...* ... excusez-moi.

Sage Perdita, she has been dubbed. she is a veeeery angy person. and i mean it. i mean, like, she definitely WOULD bash your head in over the last oreo in a box of oreos. she is overprotective and territorial (of mainly just objects or places). she, on top of all that, is fairly reserved and only trusts, like... one person. and, for THAT SPECIFIC PERSON (who will be mentioned soon), she has a huge soft spot (y'know, figuratively and stuff).

alright, alright, done rambling now. she might be one of my favorite characters i've made for this game, too. then again, i love all of them.

oop, almost forgot. (fun fact #3- this character took by far the LONGEST to think up a design for our of all of them.)

okey, next character. you know this guy (probably), and so do i...

Mickey (or M.K.) Green. yes, i have decided to give him the nickname M.K. cuz why the heck not?

he is an items merchant and a beggar (like, he'll get on his knees and beg for you to buy his stuff sometimes). he gets into fights often, and is overall sort of narcissistic. he has his good moments, don't get me wrong, but it's hard to overlook the bad.

(fun fact #4- M.K.'s design was based on guy fieri. no reason why, just felt like it.

he isn't as complex of a character, so there isn't much to talk about here.

alright, next one. (might this one perhaps have a spot in the heart of someone who is rather cold?)

mhm, that's right. the embodiment of depression, AKA Rehema Cora (please call her by her actual name, not the embodiment of depression).

as stated, she's a sad one. veeery sad one. very sleepy, slightly nihilistic and very paranoid, too. she only REALLY feels safe around one person, which just so happens to be... that's right, you guessed it, sage! it seems like a very unlikely friendship, because... well, sage is very angry, and rehema's very sad... those don't really work well... but it seems like something just clicked with the two down the road! (fun fact #5- uhhhh... i can't think of much. sorry, my brain is tuckered out.)

ok, nothing much to say there, tbh... maybe im just tired.

anyways, last guy.

Charles Jeffroi be the name!

charles is a full-blown nihilist, and also a full-blown narcissist. he's also quite a popular dude. he thinks that life is meaningless, so you might as well have all the fun with it you can. he occasionally switches from speaking english, to speaking french for, like, a sentence, then back to english for a while. y'know, just for the fun of it. he's all dressed up and fancy-shmancy, too. (fun fact #6- very fancy and rich dude here. he has the power and authority to tell an entire audience to do something, and they WILL do it.)

ok... no more characters. cool.

...

other updates? right, uhm... i have finished the epilogue section of the game's plot.

also, here's the unfinished beta version of the title screen music:

pretty cool, huh?

...

that's it.

...

goodbye?

OK OK I PROMISE TO GET OUT A POST TOMORROW, I LITERALLY JUST STARTED WRITING THE PLOT AND I'VE BEEN WAITING UNTIL I GOT ALL MAIN CHARACTERS DESIGN TO DO THAT AND AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (I WILL DO AN UPDATE TOMORROW, I PROMISE!! I HAVEN'T LOST MOTIVATION YET!!)

11/11 UPDATES

wazzuuuuup. welcome back to the griffith's tumblr page. (unless you are new here, then welcome for the first time!) i have a few updates here with me, but first...

KEL'S BIRTHDAY IS TODAY!!

that's right, people, kel's birthday (from OMORI) is today! on this day! at THIS TIME!! he's one of the BEST characters of all time and his birthday is RIGHT NOW. (can you believe it?!?!!?!)

anyways, enough rambling. let's get to the part that everyone cares about (except for the certain few that like kel)

overall info first:

im changing the order in which things will be finished. it'll go as follows now; #1- design all main characters. #2- plot the first half of the story. #3- make the ost of the first half and new/side characters' designs. #4- plot second half. #5- same thing as step #3 but for the second half. #6- create the game.

second of all, the main characters (minus griffith) are based off the five stages of grief. you know, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. so far, i have denial and bargaining designed. anger felt like an oddly hard one to design, so i took a break on it. i will definitely go back to it soon though.

new stuff created recently:

alrighty, i've got two characters to share! starting with "denial"...

well, "Archur Willow", that is. he's based off of denial, so he's obviously gotta be a denialist. he denies that anything is bad in the world to protect himself, he says he's happy despite feeling like he's constantly in mental torment, and he denies constantly that he's feeling bad, no matter what. he's also quite paranoid on top of all that.

(a side note (or a side doodle. whatever you wanna say.))

alright, the next one (bargaining) might not be what you're expecting, but...

welcome Mickey Green to the roster! he's bargaining, which you would think would be begging for something to be given/given back with something else, but that's not what's going on here. this is the shop kind of bargaining. i chose to make him the traditional items merchant of the game. he's cocky, he gets into fights, and he will definitely beg you to buy his crap. (and yes, he does look like guy fieri, and yes, his design was based off of guy fieri. so what?)

as i said, i'm holding off on anger because it just felt too hard for the moment.

other crap i've made i felt like sharing:

today, while trying to decide on designs for characters, i decided to doodle some cats while thinking. this is how it turned out.

and, looking at this, i thought "hey... you know what'd be funny?"

then this thing was birthed.

so, uh... tell me in the comments how you're feeling today if you'd like!

well, as far as i know, that's all! i'll get the main roster of characters out soon, and i'll be able to get to typing up that plot in no time! i'll see you soon again, hopefully. peace.

welcome one, welcome all!!

sup. guy behind the whole game here. welcome to me humble tumblr page! as said in the description, you can get updates about the game and stuffs here. this is gonna be my first ever rpg maker game, actually, so wish me luck.

if you have questions, ask away! and, obviously, once you get to know the characters, then you can ask them stuff, too. because, well, this is tumblr after all. i can't describe the amount of tumblr pages i've seen back in the day where people just asked characters things (especially with undertale lol).

this game will be very inspired by my two favorite games with black and white main characters; OFF and OMORI! they're really great games, and i recommend you play them if you haven't (OFF is free!!)

the game is in the concepting/plotting stage currently. no, i haven't done any work on the actual game yet. the plan here goes like this: concepting/plotting, soundtrack creation, actual game creation and sprite creation.

and, last but not least, here's our mandatory stoic and sketchy main character: griffith!

(and yes, the only colored part of his in-game sprite will be the tie.)
