Game Designers – or Scene Editors as they are commonly referred to in Visual Novel games development – holds a crucial role in realizing or converting a story into Visual Novel format. In order to do so, they use internally-developed tools (which are similar in function to the Visual Novel Maker tool) that is directly linked to the game’s back-end programming. They then make use of tools such as Adobe Photoshop for Editing to Audacity to create and edit the sounds that appears in the game.

The character designs in Memories are inspired by the art styles of anime, which when combined with elements of Indonesian culture, creates a unique look and feel in each of the story. Our artists – be it the 2D Artists or the UI/UX Designers – use Adobe Photoshop & Clip Studio Paint to facilitate their workflow on a anime-styled game such as Memories.

Memories uses Unity as the main engine for every front-end development and game client needs. On the other hand, the team relies on AWS (Amazon Web Services) Cloud Front, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Command Line Interface, as well as MongoDB Atlas Database for the Memories’ team back-end and server needs. The team also uses GitLab for bug fixing and versioning.

The Memories team uses Trello as tool to track every progress during development and to help align the development process according to a pre-determined timeline. The use of Trello also makes it easier for the team because of how image-heavy the game is, with multiple-stories in development at the same time.
