How hard can it really be? [v0.2] By Waterthose

Waterthose Games released a new game called How hard can it really be? and the version is 0.2. The game’s story is about A question about game development, life and that’s what she said. You play as Celia a 21 year old NEET that (un)fortunately gets isekai’d by truck-kun . As if her day couldn’t get any worse, she gets bound to a dragon spirit that turns her into a futanari. Join her as she “grows” stronger and create new bonds in an absurd world full of clichés. (based off of Maple)

Developer Notes:

Hey yall Waterthose here, this is my first release to test the waters so the game is relatively short. I’m a beginner when it comes to coding, prompting, and writing, basically everything required for game development but you got to start somewhere (It’s also why I named my game this way). I’m both excited and nervous to hear what you guys think (well besides those AI hate boner guys) and if you guys like it, where I can improve.
Questions on development:
Why is there no sound* / bgms?
It’s due to the fact I usually play VNs without sound so it’s relatively a low priority for me.
What was your biggest struggle?
God damn indentation in RenPy where it sent me back to main menu and gave no errors that was the worst. That and I guess backgrounds to generate there really isn’t many good quality LoRas on things like front desks.
Are there grammar or spelling errors?
I would hope not, even though English is my 69th (3rd) language I tried my best to proofread and spell check. Though some of the lines are quotes from other media so they may not always sound right.
Did you use AI to write or code any of it?
No, and never will, I can’t draw for shit is which is why I used AI art. I have actually never used ChatGPT or the like ever.
Biggest fear?
Complete backlash from the F95 community I guess. Very vocal AI haters that still click on AI CG games. The fact that they think AI art is a Staples Easy button to making a game. Though if the feedback I get is overwhelmingly negative I doubt there will be a chapter 2.
This little project has given me more appreciation for all the game devs on this site (okay maybe not the super Patreon paywall ones). Even with AI it really isn’t just prompt and boom Bob69’s your uncle.
