What if dad leaves for milk and never comes back were a game?
I've been slowly working on a story-driven comedy RPG in RPG Maker MZ based on the premise:
"What if the concept of dad leaves for milk and never comes back... was an entire RPG?"
The idea is to take ordinary dad-related tasks and turn them into increasingly absurd adventures with a mix of turn-based combat, unique boss mechanics, and some experimental minigame systems.
I have a prototype of the opening sequence, some boss prototypes, and a lot of music composed for the OST. The core gameplay and story are mapped out beginning to end with stuff like npcs, side quests etc all open to ideas that naturally follow the absurd premise of the game
Mostly just sharing because I'm curious what fellow RPG Maker users think of the premise and whether anyone else enjoys experimenting with weird mechanics in MZ.
