Bring me your suffering
The rattle roar of broken bones.
Bring me the riot in your heart.
Angry, wild and raw.
Bring it all.
I am not afraid of the dark.
... Sit down for a while if you wish to listen to a story -- do you want some coffee perhaps? Because if you desire
a story, this won't be one I can finish in half an hour. I already called to say I'd be late getting home, so please don't
worry about that. Now ... this is a story about how human life is flawed and imperfect -- yes I do know it may sound
like the introductory to a self help book, yer not the first to say that.
It's funny how much two years can change a person, simply from an event, or from someone else doing something
that impacts ya. Of course, the change may not always be good but on the other hand it isn't always bad either. Let
me tell ya about the years after I finished high school, when life was reaching that point where it just ... didn't seem
all that fulfilling anymore and somethin' needed to change. I'll try to cover the most important details that left an impact;
I only warn that this will not be a light story.
A story of a boy who lost in his way in the fog of his own mind. A boy who had to learn to accept his own flaws and
learned how to heal himself while healing others.

v. 1.09
It follows the journey of my character, through his viewpoint, and in some ways you are in control of the choices he makes in his life, and with what outcomes will arrive from that. There is one true path, and there are diverging paths that could lead to different outcomes that I often wonder about ("what if this happened instead of this?"). I won't cover every little roleplay I did because some are just ... unneeded to the development of the characters, but there will be smaller, fun paths that lighten up the mood
Please keep in mind this is a personal project ... I am in no rush to finish it, and I'm doing it for my own fun. It isn't very far along story-wise, and I am thinking of rewriting parts of the script to sound less ... clunky I suppose describes it. I am using music not made by me, and credits will be included in-game later on, for now I have everything saved in favorites and such on.
Either way, I believe I'm rambling and you guys are here for information.
FEATURES:
- Multiple endings
- Variety of main characters
- Relationship system
- CG scenes
- Outfits that don't remain the same the whole game
- Breaking the fourth wall
- Probably terrible puns
03/06/15 - Redrew a lot of the sprites, some of the old ones are still lingering. SCRIPT IS STILL GROSSLY CLUNKY AND WEIRD. Need to expand on the first bad ending, give people a chance to go back to normal route like ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS. YOU SURE?
27/10/14 - Added the first of the bad endings, the script is still being reworked and added onto.
01/11/14 -
Name: Hideki Hamasaki
Age: 19
Height: 6'4"
Personality: Hideki can often come off as someone that's uncaring, or antisocial, sometimes with a short temper and a sharp tongue. Despite the initial negative impression he can give off at first, he's the type of person to protect and to be loyal to a close friend, someone who when you're upset, he'd wind an arm around you and let your rant for hours about your crappy boss or how your favorite show killed off the best character. Despite it so, there's weight that he carries on his shoulder that he's not yet sure of how to remove-- if its even possible.
*I still need to redo his full-size sprite
Name: Raiden Lemarchal
Age: 19
Height: 5'9"
Personality: Raiden is naturally quiet and stoic, rather introverted. He tends to stick to himself or one person normally, finding a hard time being in a group of people. He is a hard person to get to know, simply because of how he'd rather keep himself detached from others ... his past aged him too fast. He is also rather blunt, not afraid to say what is on his mind or how he feels about something.
Name: James King (Jirou King)
Age: 33
Height: 6'5"
Personality: Owner of the cafe Hideki works at-- and his uncle. James is like the cool uncle you wish people had, the type which people feel comfortable around due to his caring nature and soft-spoken tone. Apparently he also has some connections in the music business, since he always seems to have albums before other people do. To Hideki he's like a father, and Hideki to him akin to a son.
... plus a lot more characters that will appear.
Oh look you get to see old sprites!
- First impressions perhaps? On the game itself or characters/plot/etc.?
- Would seeing your relationships with characters help? Or take away from the 'reality' of the story? (since we can't see our relationships in real life with people in terms of numbers)
- Do you prefer having connections with the characters before you get into emotional parts of the game? What usually achieves that for you (getting to know them, seeing their life)?
- Does the writing script flow? Where does it seem chunky to you? (if you have played the demo)
