✱ ABOUT ✱
Floorx13 was a scrapped DEMO point-and-click VN for a larger project. Originally created for SuNoFes 2023, while the game is functional and could've been finished in time, it was never finished nor published due to a large distaste for the game. Also like, what was I thinking trying to do that.
Floorx13 is being recreated as DEALER'S DEATH CALL.
(WARNING: i wrote this all in the code editor and did not proofread.)
✱ CHARACTERS ✱
Due to the game being scrapped, not all characters may be in DDC unless stated otherwise.
Characters who will return will find themselves having a revamp!
Brianna "Berry" Sinclair
The protagonist of the game.
She will return again as the protagonist, but will have her occupation of a failing solo-journalist now changed into a gambling con-artist.
Honestly I really like Berry. I have no angry words to say about her unlike the rest of these to come. I just think her being a con-artist fits her backstory way more. That ones a secret though... Unless I change it then Um sorry.
Mister Raconteur
The robot bellboy! He runs the place while the hotel founder is missing. He'll obviously return, being the main antagonist to the characters. Your monokuma of the game if monokuma was actually a push over.
That is the MAIN reason I dropped the project- Because Raconteur WASN'T a push over. Why was he evil? That's not how I've been writing him for years...
He's supposed to be a mute robot that's always listening to orders to both the founder and the guests. Always running around and trying his best to fulfill requests he completely misunderstands. And yet in Floorx13, Raconteur:
1. Can talk
2. Does not listen to orders
3. Kinda a jerk?
4. Has a gun.
This is NOT my cutie patootie.
He'll be rewritten to match that... Yay! For design, honestly he's the only character I feel like I CAN'T redesign because I've been with him for so long. But we'll see.
Kaiser Flohr
Likely to return under a new design and personality. He's a playwright of a failing troupe. Okay now that I said that he might not return considering the changes made to DDC. Sorry Kaiser. I did like him.
Aw okay as i was writing that I looked back at him and hes sooo cute... I'm sorry...
René Mercier
A pianist. I had big plans for him unfortunately when you read through it, the only part that makes sense is None of it. Will 'return' but not really because they will have a different name, personality, appearance...Not even still gonna be a pianist. Atp that's not him.
Valeria Lo Duca
LETS GO GAMBLING!!!!!
For someone who's literally a gambler, there's a HIGH chance she won't return in DDC. You know, DEALER'S death call.
Unfortunately it's just her personality is lacking. I like her design a lot (third fav) but alas... Means nothing if you have no character... She was kinda just a support to Sophia, which was weird because I think Sophia is already amazing on her own. I'm not that interested in remaking her so... sorry...
If DDC has a gambler and it's a man instead, know that I failed at fighting my gay urges.
Sophia Hartley
Sophia will 100% return as herself, due to her being a critical part of the overall timeline (with her relation with Toby.)
Although I will alter her design a lot. Why did I dress her like that. Her theme is a SHEEP. Why is she a ladybug???
Oh yeah all the characters are given an animal by their hotel room key.
Enzo
...I have nothing to say about him. I don't even remember his last name. I can't find it in the script. Did I not give him a last name. Was that intentionally???
If he returns, he will be NOTHING like this. (mainly because his design is DIRECTLY from a gacha life oc i made when i was younger and thats so embarrasing)
Meiji (美季)
A dollmaker. They carry a doll named Amelia who they also speaks with occasionally. Might stay but likely not without major changes. Or just another dollmaker of a different concept because I dunno what their backstory had in relation to their occupation.
Mellow Kuchen
Confectionist. The second character I designed. I like her design a lot but I dunno I didn't vibe with her personality. I like cute characters but she was giving Himiko (DRV3) and I hated Himiko (sorry).
I'd like to bring her back, but maybe not for DDC. I don't think she fits the story I want and while I want to keep the design (with a few modifications) I just can't see her in the game.
There was another scrapped project I had that had a confectionist ghost... I didn't like that one, so maybe I'll replace them with her and integrate her in the moribund stories?
Lovec
I apparently did not give him a last name. It's ok because he's my favorite of the guest cast aside from Berry. He's a hunter. He's cute. And that's all he has going for him honestly.
I'll bring him back but... With a personality.
Fenrir
He's so bad I'm not even gonna bother to show him. He's a doctor. He was later remade as Mattias.
kidding you can see him in the screenshots
✱ STORY (stuff) ✱
The game takes place in a hotel. It's a death game. They have to complete tasks for points to pay for their stay each day and eventually stack up enough to leave. One main group task every day and then optional tasks that you can seek out. That's the basics.
This is just some random snippets of the story I feel like sharing, ok?
Rules
Of course there are in game rules.
"1. You may not use physical violence against Mister Raconteur.
(ADDED AFTER FIRST TASK) Destruction of other serviceable machinery is not allowed. This action is Discourteous.
2. You may not back out of a task after beginning it. This action is Uncouth.
3. You may, however, trade tasks with someone not participating if you may so wish. Additionally, you can always choose to leave the hotel during check out times.
4. Although Mister Raconteur is here to assist everyone with even the most menial tasks, holding up Mister Raconteur from helping others is not allowed. This action is Ill-mannered.
5. Points will still count for your stay, even if you are not currently at the hotel. Points will only be discarded once the guest formally checks out. Leaving without checking out and falling under the required points is seen as Discourteous.
6. Refusing to pay up points is prohibited. This action is Uncouth.
7. Falling under the required number of points is Uncouth. You may, however, rack up a debt if you take part in the penalty game.
8. You may not tell other guests about these special task games. This action is Uncouth.
9. If you find an envelope with a unique wax seal that includes a task, you may NOT tell your peers unless given permission to. This action is Ill-mannered.
Additional rules will be added as situations see fit.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Throwing your mess around, albeit not against the rule, is highly frowned upon. Please do not cause trouble for Mister Raconteur.
Thank you for your attention. Enjoy the rest of your stay at Baudelaire Resident Hotel.
Signed, Baudelaire"
A good amount of that might return. Not all, as the death game has been changed a bit, but there are some I see returning.
Penalties
"Ill-mannered: Guests will be given a deduction of one to five points. Guests may be given a warning before being Ill-mannered. Ill-mannered punishments may stack.
Uncouth: Guests will either be forcibly removed from the hotel or be given the choice to take part in a penalty game. Guests may be given a warning before being Uncouth through the Ill-mannered penalty.
Discourteous: Guests will NOT be given a warning for Discourteous actions."
Also may return.
Tasks
In the demo, 3 tasks would happen. The main task of a luggage game, an elevator game, and a silence game. Below are snippets from mainly the elavator game because it's the most finished. I'm embarrassed and don't want to talk about it so I'll screenshot my google doc's script instead.
Also while reading it I was like waaait i'm sorta liking enzo again... did i cook?
⊹ OTHER ⊹
blood and death warning!!
As i said the game wasn't completely finished. And even if it was it would NOT be finished because dude why is there nothing. Anyways There are a few cgs I hadn't done.
devious enzo
Concept art for lovec that I think I did on stream (partially at least.)
I like his design it's my favorite.
rip him fly high Or probably descend low
This is another reason why it was scrapped. 1 month, even a demo, has like ZERO time to create a worth while cast when you're solo and Also Stupid! There isn't enough time to even care about a death in here.
In my own defense, the characters don't 'die' yet with Floorx13 having a similar idea with YTTD's dolls but in a more... You know those consciousness transfer stories with robots? Yeah that. That won't be in DDC btw.
But yeah each character would get three lives like a game, becoming more robotic/losing more identity the more deaths they have and after 3 deaths, they'll be turned into one of the staff members.
Wait. That was cool as hell. Im ngl i made that up on the spot there was NO reason or backstory for the robot stuff when I was first making this. But wow thats actually kinda sick hold up let him cook?
Lovec gets shot and killed too but I don't want to show the CG because its REALLY ugly and embarrassing
Yup Ok that's all umm you can see how i wanted to make this page cool but then got really, really lazy. half way through this i considered making this a patreon exclusive. Might post more floorx13 stuff there actually. -Kz
Oh, almost forgot. The Itch.io page if you want to see it.
