"In the end all of us are human- No one is different and no one deserves this."


Plot:
This game follows Sibylle, a young mage with incredible talent and her life after is scouted to attend a prestigious magic academy. however beneath this school there lies a dark secret that could potentially kill everyone. The choices she makes will determine whether she continues living the ideal life or finds the truth that could save them all.

Characters:

Reyes Harlquin (16)
Female
Sweet, yet strict, Reyes is Sibylle's responsible best friend and confidant. She was moved up a grade because of her perfect grades.

Mia Andrés (17)
Cruz's childhood friend who has a slight crush on him. She is easily irritated and quick to resort to violence, but a lot of people respect her.

Hi, i am sythini! So this is the first game i will be making so it probably won't be very good but i'll try my hardest to finish! I am working on this alone and the progress will be slow from September. The game will have three routes, two love interests and one friendship ending.

Update - 15/10/14
Unfortunately My laptop broke last month and I had to get a new one. As i haven't backed it up in a while I lost everything that I've done so far. So I have absolutely nothing for this project :| . I will give up on this project for now...

Congrats on starting your first game! :)

"What do you think of the concept?"
Although the whole "mage academy with a dark secret" trope is pretty overdone, it's not necessarily bad. I'm curious to see how you pull it off. The characters are interesting, but they almost seem a bit too perfect (?) in that they're all so nice / kind / sweet (aside from Mia). Again, it's not a bad thing. I just have trouble imagining the dialogue between people who share such similar personalities. I'm always up for a fantasy VN and look forward to seeing what you do with it all either way~

"I can't think of a good name, so any suggestions would be appreciated!"
I don't know enough of the story to make a suggestion, sorry v_v'

"Do you think I should input a battle system?"
Only if it's in the scope of your ability and won't interfere with the rest of the game. It'd be a nice added bonus if you did and could bring in a unique crowd, but it could also break the immersion if it's done badly. Use it at your own risk.

"Should I add a explanation page of the different types of magic on the title screen?"
Does the game need it? Are there a lot of difficult concepts? If it's just a few different types of magic, it might be easier to just have a character explain it during the game in a conversation.
