If you're looking for the latter, a completed script and more detailed summary of the story, the characters, and your vision works wonders for attracting interest.
We haven't given it much thought yet.
Like I said, it may or may not go commercial. We might just wait until the second game for that.
Either way, you make a good point. I should probably have written more about the story in the opening post.
A quick summary of the premise:
The story follows a not-so-famous journalist named Butler, and his friend Gilligan, the son of a famous CEO, as they unravel a murder mystery that takes place on a recently-opened cruise ship. What connection is there between the deaths of a couple on the same ship half a century before? Is the ship haunted, or is it all the doing of a human culprit?
Other characters include the CEO himself, his coworkers, a lewd maid, an old chef, and the captain of the ship.
Each game in the series would feature a new cast of characters each time, to keep things fresh.
(You could say I was partially inspired by Umineko.)
I've written the prologue and all of chapter one at the moment. If you're interested in working with the rest of the team members, PM me and I can give you what I've written so far.
