Everdream

I was talking with a friend of mine about a game I made in high school in RPG Maker and how cringe it was because it's basically a giant 2020 Twitter artist and YouTuber fan fest with some commentary about mental health. I found some old files on my Google Drive and decided to polish them so the game wouldn't softlock you or crash. The stupid restoration of the game became one thing after another. It started with making the game playable, then fixing the story, adding dynamic lighting, and fixing the grammar, along with other features. I kept most of the graphics, with a few custom alterations to help my friend have fun playing. I wanted to keep the cringy integrity and shitty artwork while giving it some level of challenge and enjoyment.

As mentioned, I made this when I was a stupid and impressionable teenager. As a result, some of the YouTubers and Twitter artists I added as playable characters got ousted for pedophilia or some other fucked up thing conveniently right after I made the fucking game in High School. They're still in the game, but I added a permadeath feature and Chris Hansen to get rid of them, whichever way you choose.

Hardly any of this is original. The music is mostly royalty-free, if not licensed music. The early artwork is mostly traced, if not just pulled from Google Images. Lastly, everything else is RPG Maker assets and add-ons by Moghunter, Yanfly, MGC, and Khas Arcthunder.
