Description 02/06/2017 mini-update: This is late, sorry! In this new mini-update, I've changed up Prussia and Germany's character busts, updated the CGI accordingly, and changed the format of Spain's journal entries. Those words are no longer scrolling past at the speed of sound, thank goodness. I've also changed the windowskin, as I had feedback from players that the old one made it hard to read the text. Again, there are no new story updates-- this is mainly just a graphical improvement update. Currently I'm working on expanding the storyline and adding a few bonus events here and there. 23/10/2016 mini-update: I've redone the character busts for Spain and added in all the new features I've mentioned before, including the aforementioned mobile phone system. Story-wise there's nothing new; this is just a minor technical update so you can finally try out Spain's phone for yourself. (Try calling someone at weird times, like, I don't know, the chase scene? I really do think of everything.)
I'm currently redoing some of the CGIs and other character busts because I'm changing the MMD models I'm using-- I'm going to switch my UniDX Prussia and Hana Germany models for Mukimuki No Hito's Prussia and Germany, which means I'll have to replace every single one of their busts and the CGIs they appear in. Sigh. This will take a while.
As usual, tell me if any bugs or typos appear! I'll fix them as soon as possible.
I really need to sleep right now orz

Yay! I kept my release date promise!... To like half of the Earth. Thank you and curse you, timezones.

About three months after the initial release, I present to you... PROJECT ESPANYA'S DEMO UPDATE! Or as I occasionally call it, Project Espanya version 0.6. I literally crammed developing over 60% of the update into 48 hours worth of time so I apologise if it seems rather lacklustre or buggy compared to the original content.

For the newcomers, here's a brief summary on the game:

Spain has lost his memory.

Thousands of years, gone like the wind. His only clear memory is of the day he woke up in a hospital, where according to one of the doctors he has laid in a coma for three days after being discovered bleeding nearly to death in a nearby forest. He doesn't remember anything about his life, family or past; frankly, the only other things he can barely remember are his own name and identity; that he supposedly personifies that block of land at the southwestern end of Europe.

Now, he is on a personal mission. He wants to recover his memory, rebuild his life and find out what the hell he was doing 'dying' in a forest. And figure out who that kid with the weird hair curl, who keeps appearing in his dreams, really is. However, he begins to doubt his quest when he finds the many shadows and secrets in his past... And he must be careful. The culprit behind his amnesia is somewhere out there, attempting to find a way to capture him again. Who or what their intentions are Spain doesn't know, but he has to avoid them or risk disappearing for good...

Now I really don't know what genre to make of this. Right now it seems somewhat dark but later on it's going to get a little... science fiction-y, for lack of a better term. Anyway, the playthrough is now pegged at around 30-40 minutes-- a definite increase from the initial release. It's only a rough estimate; I personally beta-tested the whole thing so of course I'd speed-run through the game while testing it.

A few changes I've made to Espanya:

Certain inventory items are now viewable! The Post-It and Old Photograph can be examined in-game in Spain's Backpack. (One more Dora joke and I swear--) For your own sake, mis amigos... check them. They're both very important.

The kitchen is now open! But only after a certain plot point. There's not much in there, anyway.



And now, a few important tips on how to get through this demo:

Literally touch EVERYTHING. Some of the objects lying around may seem unimportant but are essential to the story.

Also, this is one of those games where I'd recommend you touch everything at least twice, as some item descriptions actually CHANGE as you progress.

Watch what you say and do. Your actions may affect what others do and tell you later on. From this update onwards, your choices WILL begin to affect the plot. One particular choice actually changes what you have to do at a later point of the game COMPLETELY.

THIS GAME HAS MULTIPLE ENDINGS! There are three of them: the True Realist, True Idealist and Neutral endings. Choosing a certain type of choice consistently is the only way to get to the two 'True Path' endings. The game will know if you're on one of the Paths; if you're on either a True Realist or True Idealist path, one of the choices in this update will become automatic, i.e. you don't get a choice for that one. However, bear in mind that this is just a demo; you won't be able to see the endings yet.

Read through all dialogue boxes carefully; try not to skip through them. Many details crucial to game progression are concealed within the dialogue. Also, skipping through dialogue too quickly may end up bugging the game out.

The Journals and Memories are important for keeping track of story progression, especially the Journals-- they make records of what has happened and what you might be doing later on. Compared to the first release, you'll be getting a few more of both in this update so check them both often!

THERE IS A CHASE SCENE IN THIS UPDATE. To avoid being caught by the [SPOILERS], take advantage of the objects around you to block them. A sofa, the stairs, that random-ass teddy bear, anything!

If you encounter any bugs or get stuck at a certain point, note me (to avoid spoilers) and I'll try to help you out!

Oh, right! For returning players, if you saved your game at the end when the game prompted you to, that one isn't going to work... for what reason, I still don't know. If that happens to you, note me what you chose to do when you met France and Prussia as well as what you chose to talk to Germany about. I'll send you a save file with those exact choices made so you don't have to replay the whole thing... only that part at the end of the first release with the email.

And here's what you came for: The DOWNLOAD LINK!
Take note: this game does not come with the RunTimePackage; you'll need to download that too if you don't already have it installed.

Hello there! Maybe it's a little bit too late to leave a comment for this game, but I've just finished playing it and I felt the need to congratulate myself with you! 
I don't know what happened with Iceland's journal since I haven't played it, but this one is very good! I especially like the plot and how you're developpoing it! I couldn't stop playing, I was really curious about what would have happened next, it's been so long since a hetagame made me feel like this!
Please, keep going on updating it because I'm looking forward to see the whole story ^^

ASDFGHJKLHFKVC-- 


I woke up to your comment. It's one of the nicest things I've ever woken up to thus far. Thank you so much! I'm currently replacing some aesthetic stuff for the May 2017 mini-update, look out for it! ;)

I hope to roll out the next major story update within the next few months, I'm just hoping I won't disappoint you all then ;u;

Oh my God, I'm glad you liked my comment ^^ I was planning on doing a longer one,  but I'll keep it to myself until the very end!
Yesterday I forgot to tell you something, but nothing important it's just an advice! 
As an Italian, I must inform you that we don't use the word "fratello" or "sorella" when we're actually speaking to them, we call them by their first name or we can use the words "fratellone/fratellino" (big brother/little brother) or "sorellona/sorellina" (big sister/little sister): like "hey brother, can you help me?" "hey fratellone, puoi aiutarmi?" (just in case you want a Veneziano and Romano scene ^^')
BUT we use the word "fratello" or "sorella" when we are speaking about them with other people; we also put the possessive before the name in this case: like "my brother is 15 years old" "mio fratello ha 15 anni"  
I think there is a point in the game where Veneziano mentions Romano and says "you know fratello would--"...translated to Italian this doesn't sound right, if you want to use the word "fratello" there you have to put the possessive before "my brother/mio fratello".
I hope I didn't sound rude, because this wasn't my intention at all! 
I also hope that this advice will be helpful to you   
Again, good luck on your project! I'll make sure not to miss any update

Quasi-Harkness In reply to AlexisBarnes [2017-03-10 02:19:47 +0000 UTC]

Let me guess, Jezzica got you here. It's cool, I like free advertisements. XD

There's mentions of blood, though it isn't actually seen. It deals with some fairly dark themes, more so in later parts (which are not in the current demo, for now), mostly involving history and stuff. Spanish history is horrifyingly, uh, horrible. I'd give it an ESRB rating of Teen (or a PEGI rating of 12, for the Europeans) which is, and I'm quoting the official ESRB site directly, "Content generally suitable for ages 13 and up. May contain violence, suggestive themes, crude humor, minimal blood, simulated gambling and/or infrequent use of strong language." Not because any of that is actually in it until Romano comes in later, I just felt it was appropriate. Honestly, I'd rate every other HetaGame Teen/PEGI 12 as well, unless it's hardcore shipping or one of those horror ones with lots of blood. They get a T+ from me. Which is not an actual official rating, but the next official one would have been way overboard.

Needless to say you won't get scarred or scared, for the most part. In fact, it might actually turn out to be a little funny. Try calling people on Spain's phone every time he meets a new person, it's fun.

Just finished watching it. Muchas gracias for playing! Can't wait to see the next part! Words can't describe how excited I was/am to see it, so I'm having this lil' guy do it for me.

By the way, you can get onto Spain's bed and check the map on the wall. It updates itself. Oh and if you get stuck at the part after meeting [spoilers] downstairs, my advice is to literally check everywhere that's open. Some say walk on every map tile, but it's not that far-fetched. This is the only time where the 'Check everything' rule is actually important, but stick to it anyway. I'm a big fan of hiding easter eggs. (And yes, that was a HetaOni reference.) Open some doors, poke this bear, stare at that thing, run up and down the stairs a few times. It's my way of making sure you all get your chance to explore the game map, because you never know when you'll need to make a quick escape. Just saying. Once you're sure you got everything, check out the first floor rooms. 

Funny how you chose to deal with [spoilers] differently from the other LPers I've seen so far. They all hid under the goddamned table. No, seriously. Look, here's my playlist. www.youtube.com/playlist?list=… Also, apparently no one can do Spain's accent. Probably why I'm practising doing it myself.

I have another much more terrible HetaGame, as well as several others in development right now. Maybe give them all a shot when they're out! *(´ヮ`)*

EDIT: Oh, right! Before I forget, this particular game has two fanfic prologues.

"What do I do now?"
"CALL SOMEONE GODDAMNIT"

Missed phonecalls to Prussia and France about Italy! D: It's fine, those were kinda weird anyway. "His hair is very soft" Oh shut up Prussia just because  you got a little touchy-feely that one time you went to clean his house--

Ahem.

There's a lot more after that point! Meeting new people (I highly recommend calling Prussia after meeting Señor Glasses over there), chase scenes, a World Conference, the guy in the photo appears... It goes on for a while.

You could have picked a bunch of other HetaGames after a long break and this is what you go for?   I'm flattered~! 

//Espanya-dev still thinks this game turned out kinda badly lol

The MMDs? Haha, I know. I've been using MMD for, I don't know, 3 years? My ask accounts provide lots of practise for me. Fun fact: Project Espanya currently uses a total of 130 MMD pictures (and counting) including the title screen, CGI cutscenes and the 103 bust images I use in place of the facesets you see so often in other HetaGames. Trust me, I counted. One particular CGI panel took me OVER TWO HOURS to prepare and render. I cried.

My current plan is to release the next update by the end of this month! Still got some time so I'm 75% sure I'll make the deadline. Keep an eye out for it~! \(´ヮ`)/

It's one of the other HetaGame devs! Which reminds me; I really need to pull out some time to play Seychelles' Journey and The Fraternal Bond some time! Your games look awesome too ^^
Ahh-- Really? My OTP is actually Spamano... A very platonic Spamano. I have reasons. (Behold, my Spain ask account: Ask-the-Spaniard . I demonstrate plenty of it there.) So it's odd Romano barely appears here; even that has a reason. Austria was, admittedly, a very late addition compared to the others; I'm glad you like that he's in there! I dug out all the SpaAus I could find in canon to support him being there... and struck gold. And so.

I'm currently taking a break off HetaGame developing to update on my Spain ask account (there's a Romano event going on, bless him) and concentrate on school. Maybe I can disguise my game as my Game Development homework. Heh.
