A glitch trash kinetic novel about growing up transgender.
[Adult Only / Mature Issues][Solo][Slice of Life][1280x960]
SummaryBinary Distortion is a solo kinetic novel by yours truly, and it's little off the beaten path, in terms of visual novels so I hope it's okay to present it here. The game plays in a slightly abstract stream-of-consciousness style with both characters and settings drifting in and out of the story as it progresses. It is broken up into segments which deal with different themes such as childhood, school, relationships and depression.
The art style, likewise, is a little different, as it's made up of glitched / hexed collages that were sourced online and then modified, altered, and digitally databent to produce interesting effects that I felt added more to the overall project / specific idea trying to be explored. I tried to include a lot of movement and ended up with almost 400 unique databent frames.
Music was provided by a very talented friend @h34rken, and the game contains several ambient, atmospheric slightly industrial glitch tracks from it's recent releases, which are available for purchase in full quality here.
Status:
Completed! I was able to finish up and complete the project within the month, and considering it's my first VN, I'm quite proud of the finished product (even though it's very rough around the edges). I'd love to hear what people think.
