Izaya - Blog Posts

If you haven't seen the other parts or the normal route, please check em out before playing this one. It feels so weird to get this part done. Kinda sad, but i know it's about time we got this done and moved onto Shizuo's route. Thank you for all the support so far and stay tuned for more Ikebukuro Records! And don't forget to reblog and spread the word!

Izaya’s Part 3 is finished!

It’s been a long journey, but Izaya’s route is finished. We look forward to your thoughts on the endings and the conclusion to Izaya’s story in Ikebukuro Records. The password, as always, is Baccano.

Doriririan Gray

Since everyone wants to see the connections between The Portrait of Dorian Gray and Izaya Orihara even though his favourite quote is from Lady Windermere I decided to keep that in mind while reading the book and my conclusions are:

Dorian Gray: Mikado Ryugamine

Basil Hallward: Masaomi Kida

Lord Henry: Izaya (BECAUSE NEITHER OF THEM EVER SHUT UP)

PLEASE CHECK IT OUT GUYS WE WORKED REALLY HARD.

IZAYA’S PART ONE IS FINISHED!

You can download it here. The game page includes guides for both routes currently available to play and credits. It’s restricted, so the password is MHFC.

Be sure to share to spread the news! We hope you enjoy Izaya’s part one! 

The cast playing Among Us

So fun fact, in the game we originally considered two of the characters getting hanahaki disease. For those of you who don't know it's a fictional disease caused by unrequited love that causes the victim to cough up flowers and blood. If it's not treated or if the love isn't requited, the victim will die. Obviously we scrapped the idea because that was just too depressing. Not to mention, it put a lot of guilt and pressure on the player to choose specific characters, which didn't seem fair at all. It's up to the players to choose who they romance, not us. However, the idea still inspires me to draw stuff like this. So enjoy.

So last week I had a post where I briefly mentioned I might do Ikebukuro Records art or something for the week of Halloween...the chances of that have slimmed. Normally my college has something called a reading week, where everyone gets little to no additional work to catch up on reading assignments and such as well as no classes. However, this year that doesn't seem to be the case, because the college year started late in order for new students to prepare for entry, due to postponed entry exams. So now to catch up, we don't have Halloween off, and we're getting off Christmas late. I have a lot of things to complain about but it's probably best I don't do that, but in conclusion I probably can't do anything special for the holiday. I will try to scrounge up some old drawings I might have lying around but don't expect anything of high quality. People are free to draw their own art or write or ask anything if they wish, but I'll be busy drowning in literature.

Sooooo... fuck Covid19

Bye!

DURARARA!! BELONGS TO RYOHGO NARITA, SO PLEASE READ OR WATCH THE SERIES FIRST BEFORE PLAYING THIS GAME!

Here’s a few screenshots of “Ikebukuro Records”, a Durarara!! dating sim fan game. Thank you to my two lovely artists, (digital artist) mr_glassesarts and (sketch artist and co-writer) MockNerd!

This takes place 7 years after the Final Curtain arc, so some characters may look a bit different (Izaya being one of them). 

Now obviously the player can input their name, I just put “Player Name” to let the players decide what MC’s name would be. So they don’t need to worry about a set one. 

The bachelors available in the game are: Shizuo, Masaomi, and Izaya. 

There’s 3 endings in the demo, but there will be 22 endings in the final game. The demo will have days 1-10 (routes start on day 8), while the amount of days for the full game is TBD. As of now, there are 14 characters from the series, though more will be added in the final game. 

So many that I kinda want to pimp slap myself for being such a workaholic. I love programming this game but sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind.

Some characters from the series will only be seen in certain routes or simply mentioned. 

The demo will be posted on Game Jolt and Itch.io. So far day 2 for Shizuo and Masaomi are finished programming wise, just need the art for ‘em. 

I’ll keep posting updates!
