'autumn' by Astra9
(written and almost completely made by Nya-chan Production)
- Title screen of 'autumn'
- A screenshot from the actual game - yep, I like it simple.
The story feels light-hearted in the start, but over time gets more dramatic no matter which way you choose - life is about drama anyways. Sometimes the drama comes fairly abruptly, but what can one write in 14 days~
The game itself is not voiced (1 - I don't have equipment for that, 2 - I am strictly against non-Japanese voicing (I just like Japanese voicing that much), but has some sounds and includes music.
- The three heroines of 'autumn'.
Can't really see them, can you?
If you are familiar with the community, you might notice that I used Deji's sprites - seriously, they were awesome to work with, easy to alter (I traced some new clothing :> ) and I tried to explain the simmilarity between the girls as well. The main theme and story of the game was based on these sprites and their easy customization after my character graphic dropped and I had been left with 18 days till deadline. So in this case, I'd say it's not sprites fitting to the story - it's the story fitting to the sprites ;D
Lastly, I'd like to note, that for the English release, where I won't have any deadlines, I'll try and improve the game - the sounds and music at the moment are a little rough, some dramatic twists seemed a little too abrupt to me and I could use with some more graphics and making more sprites for facial expressions (there's around 50 bgs and 80 sprites in the current version). And also I found a person who promised me to make a promo M@D style video for it, which might get included in the game :>
Well... if you are Czech, I hope you enjoy it. If not - I hope you'll be looking forward to the English release ;x
And as a bonus, have about the half of Lint notes I put down ^^
