True Love's Checkout is a supermarket visual novel game taking place in Mall-Wart, which is on the verge of being shut down. Inspired by the Ace Attorney series, you must give your customers excellent service by bagging their groceries and having conversations with them afterwards. If your service is good enough and they like your responses, customers may even date you! True Love’s Checkout was created in 11 days for the Fall 2020 Game Jam at Fitchburg State University, which had the theme “All Together Now.” I collaborated with Game Design student David Wu to program a complex dialogue system, allowing for branching dialogue paths depending on the response which players choose during conversation sections. Character art was designed by Veronica Hazen (
LexiToons), a co-founder of Iconic Arts, LLP currently working on the upcoming
Goob'N'BalloonsDX. Tony Tran(
PapaTeaRam), also contributed to the Character Design. Featuring music and sound effects by David (Sierra) O’Leary.
