Kansei (Complete! See first post for link.)

#1 Post by sake-bento »

Edit: It's complete! Check it out here.

Official Site: http://sakevisual.com/kansei/

Ohai. Since production is nearing a good place, I've decided to make a WIP thread to show off and, of course, gather feedback. This is Kansei, the sequel to Jisei, and the second installment in sakevisual's Green Tea Line. There are Jisei spoilers in this thread, so back out if you don't like being spoiled. If you've already played Jisei or you don't mind spoilers, then please read on!

The nameless protagonist and his new "friends" follow up the case in Jisei by visiting William Auten, the head of Auten Engineering to discuss the murder from the day before. Unfortunately, Mr. Auten dies before they can speak with him, and all signs point to murder.


Image
???
A teen boy with the ability to relive the dying moment of any corpse he touches. He travels from one city to the next and keeps his name a secret. His sarcastic streak hides the guilt he carries over the unsolved murder of his sister.


Image
Detective Gurski - Voiced by Chris Niosi
A police Detective who seems to trust ??? almost immediately. He has a fairly grim outlook on life, and he has no patience for people who he considers to be cowards. He knows a lot more than he lets on, and he prefers to observe before taking action.


Image
Naoki - Voiced by Micah Solusod
A college boy who is often mistaken for a girl because of his looks and mannerisms. He's quiet, polite, and extremely shy. He has an eidetic memory.


Image
Aki - Voiced by Apphia Yu
Naoki's older twin sister. She's aggressive, confident, and very forward. She and Detective Gurski seem to have some bad blood between them due to past events. She can speak to others telepathically, but she is unable to read thoughts.


Image
Li Mei - Voiced by Cherami Leigh
Li Mei lives with Aki and Naoki, but no one seems to want to talk about where she's from or what she can do. She doesn't speak very often.


Image
The GUI has gotten a slight update from Jisei. The navigation system now looks like this. I think it's a lot prettier, and it's actually cut the amount of code in half. It's also lowered the number of clicks necessary to talk with people. : D

Game Features:
-At least one dead body
-Pictures
-Sounds
-Words

Facetious hyphen points aside, the game will be more than twice the length of Jisei for a single playthrough. The character art is by Deji, and the original soundtrack is by Marc. The game will be fully voiced. If you have any suggestions for bonus material (sketch gallery, music room, cast commentary, etc.), now is the best time to share them.

Yup. Same price as Jisei: $15USD. I'll be doing the usual discounts and giveaway contests as well.

Yay, a giveaway contest. I'll definitely participate in it ヽ(´▽`)/

EDIT:
LOL, at least one dead body as a feature?

How about bundling Jisei as a bonus content? Or perhaps you could make special edition (which cost 5 dollars more but have Jisei as a bonus in it)?

Looks good and the new interface seems indeed a big improvement over the first game and will probably attract non-VN players :)

I effing loved the art for that, and the gameplay looks awesome (and it's fully voiced, woah!). Murder mysteries are my favorite kind of game.

It wouldn't be a very good murder mystery otherwise. XD

Ooh, that would be cool.

I have a soft spot in my heart for voiced games. XD And yay for murder mysteries. : D

Officially, it's Summer 2011, but we're trying our hardest to get it out before A-KON, so tentatively, sometime around June 10th.

I second this idea very enthusiastically. Due to exchange rate shenanigans $15USD is quite a lot for me but something a little pricier with both games will definitely make a more appealing deal. Especially since the Jisei demo is so good and totally makes you want to play the game immediately.

I usually don't buy the commercial games. For one thing, I can't afford to continuously buy them. But if you make a bundle pack & slightly cheaper price like $20 for both, I will buy :3

Oooh yay, excited for this. If I have one suggestion (even if it's a while off), the demo for Kansei should be quite a bit shorter than the one for Jisei was. The demo took up so much of the game, it was kinda disappointing after I bought it. Still love it though and will be watching Kansei!

Considering this game is new and even sold at cheap price I don't think she'll do that kind of offer on release day :D

Definitely working on a bundle. Still trying to figure out the exact numbers, since there are all sorts of shenanigans and extra bits that have to be factored in.

Oooh! A bundle! Well, I'll have to buy it at that point. I've been meaning to get the first one so the bundle idea sounds rockin' to me! :D

P.S. I like the game features list. :mrgreen:
