Hetagame - Blog Posts
RR cover v.2 ( I guess)
I made v.1 last year and posted it on the Hetalia amino and Hetafacts amino . I attempted to redraw it in february this year , but my art program crashed when I was almost done , leaving me with nothing more than a blank canvass and my broken soul :) . But it’s finally done now
Realized I should probably make a standalone post for this and not just update my masterlist because most people will not see that soooooooooo Four months ago my friend and I made a hetagame and I forgot to post about it until now!!! It's called Apple Butter and it's a small little Ukraine-centric game where you work on an apple orchard and you also make apple treats like pies and parfaits and stuff and sell them! And then you go and talk to the fellow townsfolk and also your fellow orchard workers (who happen to be ghosts!)
It's not long and it's just a small cute lil game that the two of us made in 14 days and we'd both be really happy if you checked it out!
Finally updated this last after Apple Butter has been out for like four months haha whoopsies
It's not long! And it's cute! And we made it in two weeks! And you might like it idk! I'm proud of what we did in two weeks anyway.
My Published Hetagame Masterlist
I decided this should probably be my first hetagame-related post that I make right now since I know I have an (outdated) page full of information and links to my games BUT you can't find that on mobile and I'm too lazy to edit that right now SO I'll do my best to keep this list up to date This list is gonna contain both my solo projects and group projects I worked on.
#1 is Child's Garden This was a group project between myself, @unlimited-trash-spill @sanctuaryofstars and @noizy-bunny Game page description: Go on a little misadventure with a group of kids trying to save their beloved kindergarten from closing for good! Hijinks include launching traitors off into the sky, stealing a random bike to avoid responsibility, getting your parents arrested and more all the while trying to raise funds! Do you think you have what it takes to jump on this crazy bandwagon in hopes of making enough money to save the kindergarten? And their pudding! Never forget the pudding. The game has a warning for serious topics taken lightly, since all of the main characters are children, after all. There's also two mentioned ships which consist of two of the pairs of parents in the game, FrUK and AusHun.

#2 is Guidebooks (See the game page description for the full name I'm not typing all that lmao) This was another group project between the same people as above. Game page description: 17-year old Ludwig Beilschmidt has been invited on a camping trip by his friends Matthew, Ivan, and Kyle! He agrees, and soon enough finds himself at the campsite where the four boys intend to spend a week getting closer to nature and just having fun! The only problem is, this is Ludwig's first time in the woods. Ever. He's always been more the sort to stay home and review flash cards, rather than go outside and explore. On top of that, it turns out that Matthew isn't that great at keeping Ivan and Kyle in line. That sort of thing was usually his brother Alfred's job, who's been banned from coming with them due to Alfred-brand shenanigans. So it seems that this trip has already started out badly. Can they pull it together and end up having a fun time? Or will this camping trip end up going south? Find out in "My Friends Invited Me to go Camping, but My Only Experience Is Reading Guidebooks!" The only thing worthy of a "content warning" is that there's swearing so if you don't like that be aware ig The game contains no ships, but speaking of the game I made a dumb stupid trailer for it that's linked on the game page and I'd be very happy if you guys checked that out I worked really hard on it at the time.

#3 is Apple Butter This group project was only between myself and @unlimited-trash-spill. Game Page Description: A short and relaxing Ukraine-centric game made within 14 days by Maple and Cune. Grow apples on your farm and pick them! Cook some delicious food! Go shopping for more ingredients! Feed your ghost friends (at the graveyard)! Chat with your neighbors and coworkers! Help preparing for the town festival!
The only thing really worthy of a 'content warning' is one of the ghosts gives brief description of the situations leading to his death at one point, that involves fire. He doesn't go into detail, but it's there nonetheless. This game also has no ships in it.
Now we're getting to my solo games So technically speaking I have two currently published games but one of them is old and bad and I'm currently working on a reboot so please ignore that one thank you.
#4 is Freedom This one was a solo project that I decided to see if I could make in six days. And I did. So that's a thing. Game page description: Alfred is standing in a dark room. How did he get there? There's no way of telling. Where is he? There's no way of knowing. How long does he have to escape? Ten minutes. And it's your job to get him out.As far as warnings go, this game was made for halloween, so there's what you'd expect from a halloween game, mostly blood and cursing. Uhhhh yeahhhh that's it

This page will be expanded as I/we eventually put out more games.
Character selection screen for a hetagame I started working on last summer.
Hello, I know Guidebooks came out like a really long time ago but I just wanted to say that it was really fun to experience it. I especially like the main cast you decided to go with since it mixes up things a bit. Also rip Ludwig I wouldn’t be surprised if started to grey by 20 because of Ivan’s and Kyle’s shenanigans.
Hey! Sorry this took so long for me to get to, I meant to answer it when I got it like...... over a half a month ago...... instead of now
BUT anyway thank you so much, genuinely!
It's so nice to hear that you enjoyed the game, I'm sure the others will share the sentiment when I say that it really means a lot to us to get messages like this, especially for a jam game that honestly we weren't originally gonna put that much effort into, and then it turned into this whole thing where we made all sorts of things we had never intended to even consider, annnd then it accidentally became a high-maintinence project ewe;
Also yes poor Luddie he's gonna go home and take a 12 hour nap and wake up with grey hair and lower back pain lol Kyle and Ivan are very difficult to handle
Also also don't worry about the game being comparatively old, it's fine! Always good to get feedback, after all! (Annnd it doesn't even feel like we made it that long ago, time just sorta blends together sometimes lol)
Gamedev progress update from Cune and I! A text box mockup and a map WIP :D
So I feel like it should go without saying but just in case, the mockup is intentionally shitty and no we did not keep a random ass sand square we just thought it was funny.
I don't really feel like opening any of my projects and going looking for a good screenshot to take right now sooooo here's an extremely rough diagram of a spaceship layout for a sci-fi game @unlimited-trash-spill and I are working on on and off the ship isn't gonna look exactly like this (or probably even that close tbh, for example realistically the bridge wouldn't actually connect to the boarding hall directly but I made it with a program with grid-based limitations so that's as close as I could put it without messing the rest of the diagram up) this is mostly just to give us an idea of what rooms we want near each other and what rooms we need :p

"I wish again it was '21..."
Fraught by the complications of modern-day debt and tricky international relations, Greece suddenly finds himself in 'Olympus'... And is in a whole world of trouble upon discovering his immortality has been erased.
Remember to check the description for warnings and instructions and leave some feedback for the creator ^^
This blog is supposed to also be a hetagsmes blog lmao SO
Yes please go check this project out! It's a good-ass project by two hella talented people and they definitely deserve more attention on this. Remember we're hobbyists so we basically get paid in exposure. So go pay them some exposure so they can eat tonight thank you have a nice day
Another fanart upload for you guys, I hope you like it. For those who are interested this is actually based off a Hetagame called 1965. It's a sort of historical hetalia inspired game with hints of George Orwells 1984, Alice: The Madness Returns, We Happy Few and Clockwork Orange. I wanted to portray elements of the game without giving away too much as it's a really good game. I got inspired to play it and do this drawing after watching @kyokyo866 and Lubo play it on their channel and I just fell in love with the game. I really hope for a sequel as I want to know more about its world and what happened.
I really suggest you guys check it out 😊
And for context, yes that is England. Its explained in the game as to why he looks like that.
I don't know what this is but I'm in
I am making a Hetagame in which Italy and his low def boots are lowkey jojo posing
Do we have to use royalty free music?
The three of us all have our own differing opinions of using copyrighted music in fangames and such, but there's no rule against it in our jam, so, no, not if you don't want to. The little list of copyright free music sources I put together in the FAQ was just in case someone wanted it.
It's Sugar Bowl Hetagame Jam Time!
We're all ready to go! Check my reblog of this post for the link to the information, because if I put a link in the tumblr post, Tumblr isn't gonna show it in the tags! :)
Anyway, we hope to see you there!
You said ham stuff tomorrow EST... What time EST?
Ah. The thing about that is, I'm not entirely sure myself. I'll need to run something past the other two cohosts first, and I'm not entirely sure when they'll both be up and awake and ready to talk jam stuff again. Sorry. ^^;
Shouldn't be too late in the day, though. And after tomorrow you'll still have plenty of time to see it.
We have something;;
Special coming sometime tomorrow;;
In my time zone (EST);;
Of the jam variety;;
Stay tuned for more info;;
Or just check the tags for it tomorrow that works too-
AAA Sorry to bug you again, one last jam question... How does judge feedback work? Are there numeric scores that people get in categories (categories like coding, design, ect given a score out of like 5 or 10 for each category based on how well they did?)? Do y'all give out score sheets/written critiques/ect for each game?
Ah don't worry about bugging me, you're fine!
With judge feedback, it's essentially no different from the kind of comment you'd get on a normal game page! It's simply us saying what we liked, what we didn't like, our opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of your project, etc. There's no scoring or anything like that. Every team (including teams comprised of a single person of course) will get individual feedback from each of us judges on their game. In the end, it's really just our thoughts and opinions, not any be all and end all judgement on what is good and what is bad, so don't worry too much about them, okay? ^^
Howdy! Here is yet another jam question... Will y'all be recording a playthrough of each game? Or will y'all be playing it privately?
Hey there, thanks for the question! What we want to do is record our initial playthroughs, but depending on what happens and what kind of time we have, we may not be able to do that. We're gonna try our best to be able to, though. ^^
I have a jam question! Are we required to work in a group or can we choose to work solo?
Hey there, thanks for the question! ^^
You'd be able to work solo if you wanted, no one's required to group up if they don't want to!
Hi, it's another game jam question... Can you share the theme and gimmick so I can get an idea of which one of my thousands of half-baked ideas would fit the theme? If you can't that's also fine. Thank you, Maple!
Hello again!
I spoke to the others running this jam with me, and unfortunately we feel that we can't really share the theme or gimmick right now. That'll have to be something that you'll have to wait for the jam announcement for, sorry. ^^;
The one thing that we agreed I can safely tell you is that your characters are gonna need some guts for what we're planning.
Hello! Are y'all still planning on doing a hetagame jam soon? If so, do you have any more information about it?
Oh hi! i wasn't expecting anything about that on here considering this blog is mostly love nikki these days, lol. A welcome surprise indeed!
So the short answer is yes, we're still planning on doing it, and if all goes well we'll be getting things up and running in the near future.
The long answer is that we had originally intended for the jam to begin in December. But that would have the sign ups going on right now. Which, obviously isn't happening. We ran into a few issues and couldn't get everything done on time for our initial slot we'd hoped for. So we pushed everything back some to give us more time to prepare. It's just as well tbh since December is turning out to be a horribly busy month this year for us.
We have the server done, the awards, gimmick, and rules are all decided. Mostly all we need is to get the awards drawn and get a certain video put together and edited. We're waiting on everyone to record their lines on that front. (Including me, oops pff.) So no matter what, this jam WILL happen at some point. We've done too much work to just drop it now, lol. We're very much hoping that the second time slot will work out, though.
As far as details of the jam go, I hesitate to talk about too much, just in case something happens and it needs to get pushed back again for whatever reasons or issues for anyone involved. As well as that, we do want many aspects of this jam to remain surprises, so the most I'd feel comfortable talking about right now are these things;
-We're intending for this jam to be a six week jam. Two months seemed a bit too much last time, but we didn't wanna just throw everyone into a single month jam after such a drought of community events. Would probably be a bad idea.
-You'll be able to know the gimmick and theme of the jam straight away. Everything will be available to you from the jam journal. No waiting until a specific day for a piece of information this time around.
-We're going to be doing much the same thing as our last jam as far as progress goes, where we made videos once a week of us blindly reacting to progress screenshots and such. But this time we're giving me a bit more time to edit the videos together, since last time I pushed to record, edit, and upload all on Saturday, which proved damaging to both my physical and mental health since I'd be at it for hours and sometimes stay up later than was probably healthy at the time. This time around it'd be more like a "record on Friday and have it up by Sunday at the latest" sort of deal.
-Just like last time, this jam isn't exclusive to RPG Maker devs. If you can make some kind of game that you can upload for download or at least provide a link to play, you can participate. And we hope that you'll consider it! The more participants the more fun it'll be!
-And lastly, if all goes according to plan this time around, you should be hearing something about it in late December. I really hope we can get this done for our second choice in time slots, but just in case we don't I'm very sorry in advance. We're trying our hardest to get this done as quickly as possible, but things have been coming up a lot recently.
But anyway, thanks so much for the interest in our jam! I didn't realize until just now that we hadn't mentioned it like, at all in ages. Reminds me I should update our DA group for this. Anyway whenever there's any more news about the jam I'll try to remember to put it here as well as on the DA, since that was one of my original reasons for making this tumblr, lol. To blog about hetagame stuff.
Also uhhh if anyone has any specific questions you can ask if you like. I might have to refuse to answer depending on what ya ask considering some things we want to be surprises for the announcement day, but I am open to questions n' stuff, if anyone who potentially sees this has any. ^^
