Darlings Lost (Inactive)

#1 Post by carosene »

(Please see page 3 for info on the game's inactivity)

Story:
Aiden and Fantine are step-siblings.
Fantine and JD are out-of-contact childhood friends.
JD and Aiden are members of the same basketball team.

The three of them thought these relationships would never change—not before high school ended and they went their separate directions into adulthood.
Aiden's future was clearly laid out for him by his father: Play college basketball in another state. Fantine will continue to paint whether she lives with her parents or marries her off-and-on boyfriend. JD has no plan.
However, life has something else in store for them.
Namely a fire on their school campus and a mysterious man out for vengeance...


Darlings Lost will be a visual novel with multiple arc-endings. :)

Oh thanks! XD
lordcloudx is pretty awesome. x3 Hopefully he doesn't mind it kind of becoming the face of the game. XD (Since it's kind of all the art I've got to show at the moment.)

Ohoh the CG you show us is pretty awesome, can't wait for it to get released~
The story may be quite trivial, but I think it'll have some surprises

Thanks for commenting! :D I love them too. xD Actually, that's how this game came out. I created three characters and tried to think about how they could relate to eachother in different ways.

Small progress update on CGs! \ouo/ But one I am very happy about. You can see the new numbers on the first post.

I'm currently re-editing the game script to make the game much more awesome. Jay has changed around quite a bit, and he needed a new name, so he's JD now. The problem with changing the script is it might totally flex the numbers up there, so they're a little... o.o Up in the air at the moment. Hopefully I can finish the new draft in a few days. :)

Is there a JD in Heathers? XD (All I know of it is what I heard this season on RuPaul's Drag Race.)

Part of me hopes this, too.

The other part says that it was worth it.

Soooo... I don't know. :(

I'm sure in either case we'll get a good story!
Will edit/proofread for cookies.
