Owly Crow is a small indie game studio founded by Anri Paul Hennies (@holo_memory) and nursey (@nursey). We make queer narrative games set in an alternate universe called "the Maskros Nebula." Our first game, "pieces I," is a casual jigsaw puzzle game that is meant to introduce you to our universe. We are currently working on a visual novel called "PizzaPastaMaro."
Development update: After writing a lot of backstories for our characters, @nursey and I realized it would make much more sense to have our game set on Eskolea instead of CobeeDot. So that's what we're doing! I've been updating the script, writing dialogues for the first episode (there'll be 3) and cutting down some pizza ingredients (sad, I know! but less tedious for us and the player)... So no new drawings these days but I hope I can share more soon.
I'm currently writing the script of the first episode of our visual novel/point and click adventure "Across Maskros" and I just finished a paragraph on the planet of Eskolea, remembering the illustrations I drew for #piecesI two years ago.
(Maro's pizzeria will be visited by two Eskolean guests, Cassie and Brix, who have freshly moved to Emoh, CobeeDot (the location our game is set in). It's really nice to have some visuals from the previous game. ^_^)
long time no post! we're still working on the game but took a different approach in creating. i realized i got too obsessed with the pizza - which is okay in a way, but the pizza simulator is supposed to be a mini game... 🍕 it's a visual novel after all! so we took a step back and @nursey has been working on a rough prototype with placeholder text and sketches for us to become more aware of the structure and the assets we need. here's a short glimpse:
with basil and black pepper, the first pizza on the menu - "pizza maro" - is now complete! 🍕
our game is a visual with point and click elements, but making pizza (and pasta) as part of a mini game is one of the core mechanics, too. next up: pizza rocket! 🚀
new kleehl salami design 🍕 kleehl is an unlimited resource in the maskros nebula and it is used to produce food (among others). it's 100% vegan and nutritious.
working on the pizzas again! i now made a plan to clean up the ingredients and place them neatly, so they work in different combinations.
