This is a short kinetic novel to pass the time untill I can fix my file problem with Death Rule. There will be roughly 6 Main chapters, a Prolouge, and an Epilouge

Title: Heart::Hatred (Heart Paralells Hatred)
Theme: Romance, jealousy
Summary: "Six years have passed since Rose Beckett was murdered in cold blood in front of her classmates. The person responsible for her death was let go a few days later due to a plea of insanity.

Jeremy Aiken has been unable to move past that incident, and has become an emotional wreck. But after recieving a letter fromone of his close friends, his memory of the incident will change. Now he will finally learn what had happened during those last weeks before the incident and finally put to rest his guilt."

Characters
All sprites are from here

Image
Jeremy Aiken
The main character of the story. He is the kind of person that always tries to solve other people's problems before adressing his own. Weather that's a good thing or not depends on who you're talking to. Lost his girlfriend 6 years ago in an incident.

Image
Kaden Crewe
The 2nd main character of the story and Jeremy's best friend. He's always acting like a clown and never cares about the impressions he leaves on people, even if it's a bad impression. He suffers from split-personality disorder and seems to be hiding something. Is responsible for the incident 6 years ago.

Image
Rose Beckett
The 3rd main character of the story and main antagonist(?) She is perhaps the definition of perfect: excellent grades, cheerful personality, helpful persona. But try to "take away" the people she loves, and her seething jealousy will be the end of you. Died 6 years ago in an incident involving her, Kaden, and Jeremy.

Side Characters

Image
Jessica Deen
Kaden's psycologist and friend. She was the one to revolutionize a treatment to help ease the tention between a criminal and a victim in order to reduce the chances of retrebution from either party. Due to her close relationship with Kaden, some people have wondered weather or not she may actually like him more than a doctor should like their patient.

Image
Thomas Aiken
Jeremy's younger brother. Due to his private schooling he's rarely at home, but when he is home he tends to be a bit of an annoyance to his older brother. While a slight air-head, he tends to notice changes in people's behavior faster than most people and will usually be the first to point them out.

Image
Caroline Huxley
Rose's best friend and student-body president. Usually she is the first person most people tend to come to whenever there is a problem, and is always there to lend a hand. Perky and smart, it's no wonder why her and Rose are constantly adored by those at school.

Image
Gaden
Kaden's split personality and imaginary friend. His manner of acting is of someone with a lot of care on their imagery. He's polite, a thinker, and a serious person. To be precise, his personality is the opposite of Kaden's

...it amuses me that one fo the themes is "Jealousy".

Also...pwetty art *A* Well, teh sprites, I mean. Pretty sprites *A* I guess this won't have CGs? Oh well, the sprites already make up for that and the story sounds bittersweet and interesting *A* The way it is styled I'd guess it is also somewhat 'mystery'-ish? Well, I am looking forward to it~
*pending signature, as in, I don't have any if this signature doesn't allow any 100px high images TAT*

It'll take a while. Maybe when I finish Chapter 1 or 2? Though it will need to be proofread before that, my form of bare-bones writing is a bit...messy.

For bumping reasons, have a friendly screenshot! :V
(Yes, the game will be in NVL mode)

Here's my progress:

Code: Select all

Statistics:

The game contains 167 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 2,092 words,
for an average of 12.5 words per screen.
The game contains 0 menus.
That's the Prolouge and the geninning of Chapter 1

The sprites look awesome... *_*
Good luck in this game! Seems like it has a good potential!

But wait... it's a kinetic novel, yet it's bishoujo and boy-love? That's confusing.... kinetic novels have very little to no choices...

Both will be happening; one is one-sided, the other
is doomed.
Just think
School Days
and you'll figure out how this might go

Oh wow you just mentioned *that and it brought back the chills. Lol if your going down that path but less girls, I'm looking forward to how your curiosity stretches with the creative mind.

The art is beautiful and I'll be watching this ^_^. I noticed some grammatical mistakes in the first post though...
"But after *receiving a letter *from *one of his close friends"
"*Whether that's a good thing..."
"He suffers from *a split-personality disorder..."
(Btw, um, maybe you shouldn't say
he is responsible
, kinda a huge spoiler.)
"...to help ease the *tension between..."
"some people have wondered *whether..."
"...why *she and Rose..."

They are just minor things to keep in line. Also, from what I can tell, your writing is a bit passive, a lot of "has been", "maybe", "usually" and those sort of words. Makes your writing a bit dull ^^;. Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I'm excited, and if you need help, just let me know! :D

That little fact plays a key role in the story since they're basicly looking back as to what lead to
murder
And I'll get to changing those things as soon as possible

The sprites are beautiful and the description does seem interesting. Not the biggest fan of kinetic novels but it seems interesting mostly because of the BXB and the nod to school days. I mean murder and BXB together sounds pretty awesome.

Murder + BxB dosen't happen enough (Ok, there was that yandere BL manga, but that dosen't count) Granted, the BxB isn't really going to be the main part of it
;_;
But it will drive
Kaden
on.

Maybe I should release a short demo...hmm....

I think you really should credit the original source for the sprites.
But anyhow, the premise looks interesting, and I'm a big fan of mysteries.
Good luck with this!
