Brand! New! Friends!

Brand! New! Friends! Is a visual novel / rpg-type game about four unlikely friends that I made to teach myself how to use Game Maker Studio 2 and stay sane during quarantine. 

My main goal was to construct an interesting, colourful world, and have it be interactive and change throughout the story. Since I’m a visual artist to my core, I was mainly concerned with having the game look pretty and professional, so a lot of the storytelling is done through the character and setting design, rather than through dialogue. It was important to me that each character’s personality came through in their designs.
