Sugar Stars

Project Overview

Sugar Stars [Working Title]



About:

Sweet stars is a short project for Yuri Jam that I'm intending on finishing Act one within 2-3 weeks maximum. It will be released publicly on itch.io for free. It follows primarily three girls in a pastel, sweets themed world, each having their own dessert / food themed identity. The gameplay is planned to be half point-and-click adventure and half tycoon / simulation / strategy where the primary money-raising system is to help run a cafe during the day. I hope to build a game that can be enjoyed by anyone and to create healthy portrayals of the in-game romances. The primary message is set to be on communication, perspective and change.



Story:

As Reyna's hands grazed the waters of Konpeito bay, she replayed the final moments in her mind before her memories come to an end. Who was she running from? Why was she running? Who WAS she? In a town torn apart by the corrupt rulings of the queen, Rey comes across the rebels-- a group of thieves and rogue townies masquerading as baristas. When she realizes what the rebels have to lose, can Rey help them save the town from conflict before it's too late?



Note 1 :


If you know me, please do not link this page publicly in association with my other projects. This is a minor project that I don't want my project followers to know about just yet. ;;



Note:

The story and world are meant to be a contrast as the bright / pastel world vs a not-so-bight story. There are some heavy themes such as losing identity, social struggle and political corruption (To a degree). The game isn't meant to reflect a specific real life strife though it is an allegory for social control and the problems when people forget to listen. 

The game is also a GL game and features LGBT characters and characters of colour. Please assume all main or supporting characters somehow have romantic involvement with another female character unless otherwise stated <3 Rudeness or hatred will not be tolerated.

Latest Updates

  • Auditions Closed but 1 role added~!

    Hey everyone! Thank you all for your lovely auditions! We'll be looking into casting shortly! Last minute in the game's production, a talking animal companion was added. We're not sure about the gender or the species, but we'd like for them to play a comic relief but still be a lovable (not annoying) character. I had a female chipmunk or rabbit or squirrel in mind but I'm looking into other options~ If anyone is interested in auditioning, we're looking for a unique voice for them, male or female! If I'm not able to find a VA in private auditions, I'll post an official public one on here <3 If you're interested, please feel free to contact me and I'll give you audition details :) Thank you all for your lovely auditions! I can't wait to work with some of you~!

  • Time almost up~

    Hello everyone! Thank you so much for all of your lovely auditions~! They will be closing as scheduled on the 22nd~! Some have asked for more concrete looks at the game. The most I can offer are two gifs of the opening sequence and stocking shelves. Keep in mind the colours are off due to the gif maker acting up haha https://twitter.com/GeminiRosetta/status/910368500874665984 and https://twitter.com/GeminiRosetta/status/910371898625798145 (Please ignore the twitter account. It's what I've been using to keep the project secret haha) Aside from that there are some screenshots that can be viewed, Act I (Which will be released for YuriJam) is about 30%-40% completed at this point <3 Thank you all for your lovely voices ;; It's going to be so difficult to decide!

Reyna
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Gender: Female


Food ID: Unknown (Stripped away)

Age: Around 18-20

Background: Filipino 

Voice: High pitch, cutesy


About: At the beginning of the story, Rey discovers that she has had her memories wiped by the queen after she stripped Reyna of her ID. She discovers the rebels who wish to put an end to the queen's tyranny and chooses to help them by opening their cafe and slowly gathering recruits for the job.


Personality: Rain is relatively optimistic, energetic and cutesy but strongly opinionated and unrealistic in her expectations. She's very physically strong but emotionally doesn't know how to handle herself and is quick to get angry  and walk away instead of trying to rectify a situation. Her energy shouldn't come across as annoying to the audience, but Lawana and Mallow find it overbearing.
Reyna has several love interests she can choose from including Mallow and Lawana.


Lawana = Lah-WAN-uh

Mallow = MAH-low (Real name is Marlowe but she prefers Mallow because "MarshMALLOW" lol)

  • [Sleepily] "Hm? Ugh
    my head. Where is
    this place? It seems… familiar. Well… I
    better get home before my family starts to worry.  Do I
    even have a family? Who am I
    again?"

  • [Happily] Lawana? Mallow? Super! You're my two new friends, okay? I don't know if I HAD any friends before... [Softly]You know... [Happily] so you guys can be my first friends ever, 'kay?"

  • [Confidently]"My Queen?! Prepare to meet your match! I'm here to defeat you, one way or another!"(She sees something ahead of the screen and stands in shock and fear)
    [In disbelief / Shock / Fear] "Oh no..."

Lawana
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Gender: Female
Food ID: Boba (Bubble Tea)

Age: Around 18-19

Background: Thai


Voice: Medium-high, Confident, Warm, Friendly, Female

Role: Playable Character / Love interest for Reyna or Mallow

Lawana is a thief that hopes to avenge her parents who were taken once the ID law was passed. Personality wise Lawana is happy-go-lucky and proud to the point where she leads the rouge group to hide away. There are times where Lawana gets angry and she's prone to crying while standing her ground. It's usually during her angry streaks that she becomes irrational and even violent in her thinking. She's easily swayed, though she appears confident in her decisions. She hates the noble classes with a passion and hopes one day they're overthrown.
It's clear from the start that Lawana may be romantically interested in Reyna, though she's not the sole love interest. 

  • [Confidently] "Hey what's up? Can you pretend to be my sister or something?"
    (The queen's guards show up)
    [In a rush] "Oops! Gotta go, Gotta go!! Thanks for the workout boys, I'll see you next week! Bye-bye!"
    [Friendly] "Thanks for that, sister dearest. The name's Lawana~ And what name did our loving parents give to you?"

  • [Softly \ wealky] [Gentle laugh] "Of course I remember. I'm Lawana, and I'm the girl who loves you most."

  • [Angry, fighting back tears] "I always went over what I'd say to you after you took my parents away from me. I considered every word, every feeling, every breath. But you took away the one person I thought I loved and now I don't know if you were even worth the effort."

NOTE: Listed as Male / Female because I DO NOT WANT a cis female to play her. The voice actor should be either a trans woman, a non-binary / genderfluid person or a pangender person.

Gender: TBA (Either pangender or trans female, uses She/her )
Food ID: S'mores

Age: Around 18-20

Background: Canadian


Voice: See above note-- Preferably medium-high voice pitch and sweet sounding

Mallow is quiet and polite but she also is very well-liked and personable. She's extremely sweet and friendly but has trouble trusting people. She's well liked in the town as her skill is socialization.  She's romancible and has romantic options.

  • "Lala likes to secretly eat some desserts when no one's looking. She get really mad if I drink any coffee though, so it's a bit hypocritical if I'm being honest..."

  • [Worried] "I'm sorry, honey! I would remember someone as lovely as you, so I'm afraid we've never met. please don't be upset with me! I'd love to be friends if you're okay with that!"

  • [Sadly / grimly] "I once thought the only thing worth fighting for was you... but now I wonder if I made a huge mistake."

Role assigned to: mirmir

Gender: Female
Food ID: Konpeito

Age: Around 18-20

Background: Japanese

Voice: Medium toned, soft-spoken, 'ethereal',  elegant, Either genuine Japanese accent or North American accent. (NO ACCENT IMPRESSIONS PLEASE)

Kanon appears to be elegant and soft-spoken but she can be condescending and overly blunt. She has an idea that she's always right, though her stubbornness has her misled on several things and makes her believe things that are not necessarily true. She's one of the two secondary love interests and must be saved from the queen during the game's plot

  • [Matter-of-fact] "I believe you were trying to say 'dungeon'. I am being held in a dungeon"
    (The character saving her: "This is more of a prison-- a dungeon is...")
    [Interrupting] "We should get out of this dungeon as soon as possible."

  • "And you're back again? I'm running out of topics to talk to you about and my limit for social interaction has been exhausted this last month."

  • "Come again. Not too soon, but I need the money.'

Food ID: Marsipan OR Candy hearts (deciding)

Age: Around 18-20

Background: Swiss (half french, half german)

Voice: High, shy, sweet, cute, North American or genuine French accent (No imitations)

Celine is a secondary love interest. She's really sweet and kind but is really physically strong so is the go-to person for upgrades. When you first meet her, she has no recollection of her previous identity and it is up to the main team to restore her memories in order to get her upgrading abilities.

  • "If you need me to upgrade just let me know! I'm here for you if you need me..."

  • "I think I l prefer savory foods. I'm pretty sure the queen may kick me out of her kingdom for saying stuff like that, so please don't tell anyone if you can..."

  • "An upgrade? Of course! Let me get my toolbox..."

Arisa

Arisa is Lawana's cute chipmunk companion. She speaks really sweetly, but is one heck of a flirt and enjoys admiring the girls in town. People tell her how adorable she is, which inflates her ego even further. 

The primary bulk of her lines is running the tutorial section of the game. 

Voice: Cute, Medium / high, still able to pack a punch.

  • "Who's the loudmouth? Are you Lawana's girlfriend or something?! You can fight me for Lawana's love! You will never prevail!"

  • So this here is the kitchen where you’ll be worked to
    exhaustion. The fridge here is where you can pick up or store
    ingredients…The counter is where you cook and… You can put cakes here in the display case to sell! 

  • Take her out? Is this queen really hot or something? Because in that case I volunteer!
