Hi there~

This is my first ever post on this forum! ^^

I've always wanted to make a VN and figured that I should bite the bullet with this year's NaNoRenO. And thankfully I have friends who jumped onboard my idea. We started planning the game just last week. And I must say, Ren'Py is definitely addictive!

Onigami
“I’m not afraid to know the truth.”

Kyoko’s father has gone missing and she receives a mysterious letter from the master of the Onigami House, where her father last worked. What secrets will she uncover when she answers the request?

Characters

Image
Kyoko
The protagonist. The only daughter of the resident village doctor. She is used to living by herself, even before her father disappeared. One day she receives an invitation to visit the Onigami House. Through simple choices at the beginning, the player can select her personality (confident, friendly, or reserved). 17 years old.

Image
Onigami Ryuunosuke
The handsome master of the Onigami house. He lives in a big estate with only a few retainers. He invited Kyoko to the house to tell her the news about her father. 25 years old.

Image
Minoru
One of Ryuunosuke’s retainers. He is easygoing and strikes up a friendship with Kyoko. Thus Kyoko trusts him the most. 24 years old.

Image
Gen
The newest retainer in the Onigami House, so he was assigned to serve Kyoko during her stay. He is annoyed with this assignment and doesn’t hide the fact from Kyoko. 16 years old.

So yeah, I'm really excited about this! At first it was going to be a simple game though, but we ended up trying out different ideas. Now I don't think we'll make the April deadline ^^; Still, I at least want to release the first two chapters on April 1st.

Thanks for reading!!

ShadowBerry: Thank you, I really hope we can, at this point it's looking to be 14 different endings x_x

Bane Reiko: Thank you! It's mostly stock art since we don't have enough time to draw. Most of the time is being used to plan the story, script, and the gameplay. But so far it's been so fun that I'm really glad NaNoRenO exists, it helped me get off my butt and actually start making a VN ^^;

You had me at mystery. XD

But coming in here and seeing all the additional information has but served to whet my appetite. Great googly moogly, I have such anticipation. To hear that you're just starting out fresh and new and all for NaNoRenO month? Really gets me motivated as well. Looking forward to it, and best of luck to you guys eh~!

Amazing art and the premise of how you can determine the MC personality by choices is interesting. Can't wait to play it...

I think everyone already has said everything I was going to say. Simply put:

Amazing art.

Beautiful GUI.

Gorgeous character sprites

Hot bishies

And OMG, 14 endings?! 14 ENDINGS?! I'm sooo looking forward to this.

Plus, otome+mystery=win.

Thank you ^^ The GUI is actually the default Ren'Py one? Not sure if I have time to modify it. But if it ain't broken...

Oops. Let me rephrase my comment.
The text is perfect. It is easily readable and looks great.
Heh. Sorry for the confusion.

Hi all

Just wanted to give an update on our progress ^^

So we're definitely going to only release up to the end of Chapter 1 before April 1st. I also got assignments due that week so I've been trying to balance coding with studies/work/life...

Stats so far:

The game contains 578 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 5,569 words,
for an average of 9.6 words per screen.
The game contains 15 menus.

We've also recolored the sprites so that they're not the same as the stock ones :)

That's all for now and hopefully we'll get Chapter 1 done mid-week so I can test, test, test!!

Well I got carried away learning the Ren'Py screen language and modifying the GUI, when I should have been finishing coding Chapter 1... ^^;

New title screen:

So... around 80-90% done with the demo. I feel a bit guilty as I've been neglecting my assignment, but I really want to be able to make the deadline XD
