UPDATE! We now have a full cast for all the characters! Recording is in process.

Also, updated Lint Statistics


I had almost forgotten that it was NaNoRenO! So I just started this project today, and am confident that I should get it done before the month is up (despite my late start). This is my first time doing this guys, so bear with me! The plot's a bit on the cheesy side, but I hope you'll enjoy playing it none the less. The project has a full cast to voice the dialogue!

Currently
I already have 2 endings. The game will be much longer than this, but depending on how you play, you might end the story early, so a couple of endings are already established. The goal is to have 6 endings, 1 which is bad, and 1 that is true.

Lint Statistics say;
The game contains 657 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 6,298 words,
for an average of 9.6 words per screen.
The game contains 5 menus.

SUMMARY
Chiharu is a girl who wishes she wasn't so ordinary. Sure, she's known to be rather crazy at times, but in her mind she just feels so....plain, nothing special about her. Especially in looks. She really hates the way she looks. All she wants to be is, well, somebody, and it looks like she might get the chance! Accidently stumbling upon an organization called Operation Magic Hero, she is given the gift to transform into Yuki, a dazzling magical girl who helps fight evil at night!

CHARACTERS

All sprites are from Bass Novel!

Chiharu
Image
Our heroine! Despite popular belief, Chiharu sees herself as ordinary and plain. She's actually a fun girl to hang out with, always joking and doing crazy things.

Keiji
Image
Chiharu's love interest. He's a normal guy who's generally nice, as well as very smart (he likes to study a lot). He despises idiots and can often times be sarcastic, and take on an intimidating demeanor at times. Basically, if you don't try to step in his way and be an annoying pest, he's OK with you.

[CENTER]
Arisa
Image
Your run-of-the-mill bookworm who resembles Yuki Nagato, only she has emotions and isn't an alien. As you might of guessed, she always loves to read books. However, despite popular belief, she actually only gets average grades. But that doesn't mean she's dumb; she may not do well academically, but she has street smarts!

Daishiro
Image
This dorky guy likes to think he's all that. He's charming in his own way, through, despite the fact that he's clumsy and likes to talk too much. He seems to have a thing for Arisa, who thinks he's only teasing her, but in truth he actually likes her.


Asahi
Image
This guy loves having attention. He's known to be a cool, popular guy, and even has a horde of fangirls following him around! He can be arrogant, thinking too highly of himself, but he still doesn't mind hanging out with the so-called "not popular" people.

Nami
Image
Nami's the kind of girl who'll be your cheering squad. She always pushes her friends to "aim high" and "believe in yourself". Sometimes she can have a short attention span, and won't be paying attention to you if the conversation suddenly bores her.

Ruri
Image
Ruri's kind of a quiet girl. She doesn't really say much, and not talk unless spoken to. Perhaps the reason is because she's incredible shy, but she's also a very sweet girl once she opens up and you get to know her. Toshio is her childhood friend, and because of him, she learned Sign Language to be able to easily communicate with him, and often works as his translator.

Seiko
Image
She is Ruri's non-identical twin sister. As opposed to the quiet, sweet Ruri, Seiko is loud, rude, and not afraid to be harsh, giving you the cold blooded truth. Some even call her anti-social, and she sometimes think that everyone are idiots. She can be a very frustrating person to be with.

Jirou
Image
He's a bit of a loner; prefers to be by himself most of the time. He's not good at making conversation, and would prefer if people stay out of his way. He's not as rude and obnoxious as the girl Seiko, but he's not someone you wanna mess with on a bad day either. Some say he's this way because he's known to be shy and quiet, and his "defense" system is to lash out at people. He's also known to be a bit stuck up 'cause he's a rich kid.

Toshio
Image
A young man of very few words. Actually, he cannot speak at all. He has to speak to you in Sign Language, though sadly no one really understands it all the time, so he'll often bring a marker board to write down what he is trying to say. When he does have anything to say, anyway, and it's usually really interesting. His translator for Sign Language is Ruri, his childhood friend.

Marcoso
Image
One of the two mysterious leaders of the Operation Magic Hero. Very little is known about him, and he is not seen often. He's not the most friendlist guy, and can sometimes taunt the Magic Heroes if he feels they did not do a good job. However, he does try to push them in the right direction.

Ryshula
Image
The second mysterious leader of Operation Magic Hero, Ryshula is a beautiful, sultry lady who is the one who gives out the special items that give her clients their transformation to become Magic Heroes. She's very kind, and only wishes for the best out of her recruits.

Yuki
Image
Chiharu's cute and dazzling alter-ego, Yuki has the power of water and ice. Her personality is a little more shy and embarrassed, compared to her counterpart, but she still retains determination, and the wish to become truly somebody! She hopes that in this form, Keiji would take notice of her.

Hanae
Image
Arisa's alter-ego, Hanae is an adorable little moe with black wings and the power to summon forth winds! She has an even more embarrassed and shy personality compared to Yuki (who, compared to Hanae, seems a lot more outgoing). It could be because, even though she likes being cute, that being in this skin makes her feel embarrassed.

Daniel
Image
The youngest of the Magic Heroes, Daniel appears to be around the ages of 9 or 10, maybe 12, and his true form is unknown. Daniel is a very determined boy who wants to fight and get stronger, but he can be a bit of a show off. Sometimes he doesn't take his job seriously, and often times likes to goof off, which can get him into a lot of trouble.


Luna
Image
Luna has the power of light, and can send forth powerful moon-like beams to destroy monsters. Her true form is unknown, however, it might be easy to guess who this girl is; she likes to be everyone's cheering squad, pushing them to do their best! Early on in the series, you find out it's Nami.

Yoshiteru
Image
This young man has the power to manipulate shadows, and can spray forth avid and control fire. He has quite the intimidating demeanor, and when he talks, he seems rather creepy. Shockingly enough, his true form is Toshio, the guy who cannot speak.

Takehito
Image
Takehito shows up later on, and his true form is currently unknown. He used to have long hair, until Yuki said he looked like a girl. He has the power to freeze things, and lower the temp around you, so you feel freezing cold. He's generally a nice guy, but appears a bit distance, disconnected. He seems to have a thing for Yuki.

Ginjiro
Image
Daishiro's alter-ego, just like in his normal form, he's still arrogant and thinks he's all that, as well as goofy. However, this trait seems to INCREASE when he's in this form, and as always, he shows his affection for Arisa's alt, Hanae, and as always, she still thinks he's just messing with her. His powers; putting people to sleep, hypnosis (for confusion), and telepathy.

Suguru
Image
Despite not being related in real life, Suguru is like Ginjiro's "Magic Hero twin". His true form? The ever so popular Asahi, who is as arrogant and goofy as Daishiro (only he has fangirls). No wonder they ended up as twins! His powers are the same as Ginjiro's.
PRACTICE LINES

Shinju
Image
Shinju, Ruri's alter-ego. Very formal and mature, but still a very kind and sweet girl, minus her usual shyness. She's a bit more bold in this form, and is more apt to speaking her mind. She has white wings and has the power of light mixed with wind.

Shinobu
Image
Even as Magic Heroes they're sisters, but this time, INDENTICAL! The only difference between Seiko's alter-ego and Ruri's is that Shinobu has black wings, and her powers consist of darkness mixed with wind. She hates being mistaken as Shinju, and still retains her rude personality, though it seems a bit toned down.

Naoya
Image
What a fitting alter-ego for a known to be stuck up jerk. Jirou becomes a Nekojin named Naoya, and his powers are the ability to run really fast, leap high in the air, landing on his feet, and quick reflexes. He actually seems more of a jerk in this form than his true form, perhaps because of everyone making fun of him for it.

I shall do my best! ^.^ I even plan to have the dialogue with voices! However. I am not sure if that part will be done by March, so if not, then I'll re-release a version 2 with voices. But my main goal is to get the VN done before March, with or without voices!

There have been a few western VNs with magical girl themes. I'm looking forward to seeing more get made.

It sounds like there will be at least two magical girls in the story, and at least one guy. If you're trying to write this between now and April 1, then you'll want to make sure your scope doesn't get out of hand. Focus on just a few characters, keep the story relatively short and simple, and don't worry about gameplay.

I'm curious about the Operation Magic Hero organization. Why would they recruit a girl who becomes aware of them? Is the organization fighting anything or anyone? Are Keiji and/or Arisa already part of the group? If not, do they join it?

Actually, there will be SEVERAL magic girls (and boys) in this story (I think I have 10 of them?) but some will be more focused than others (I should show you the thread I have at VAA). I'm thinking of just leaving this as a Kinetic novel, or if there are choices, no more up to 3 that can lead to maybe two endings XD!! But Kinetic might be the best way to go. We shall see.

How's that going for script? As big as your cast is, you might have some issues.

Oh, but it makes it more challenging, ne? Technically there are only 13 characters, if you combine the teens with their alter-egos. Some will get more spotlight than others.

And all the characters have a voice actor! Amazing, ne? Though some do have dual parts (and one girl has taken 3!) but still...

Yes, so many sprite styles <3

We probably won't have this finished for NaNoRenO, due to some things that have caused delay (for example, my computer acting up >.<). However, we plan to have a demo of the game out on April First. Not sure if that'll count, but either way, we gotta show something!
