[WIP] Welcome Home [GxG](new characters added!)

#1 Post by bellice »

Wheee, my first VN. Or, you know, at least the first I worked enough on to have something to show. It's GxG, because this community is depressingly lacking in that department. And I like making girls kiss.
So, here goes nothing.
(Also, the title is temporary)

________________________


Where am I? The light is so bright...why can't I see?
"You're home."
Home? But I've never been to this place before.
"One day you'll find me. One day...you'll understand."


Story

For most of your life, you never stayed at one place for long. With your parents working to develop their career, you never had a chance to settle down or build significant relationships, but that is about to change. When your parents decide to travel around the world, where does that leave you?
With nowhere else to go, you return to your brother...and your home town. A lot has changed.
Will you be able to find your place in the world and someone to give your heart to?
Or will you continue to stumble through life with no place to truly call your home?

(This ia a rather character-driven VN, so the only real plot are the events related to the character you choose to romance.)


Characters

Main Character

Image

"That's because she obviously loves me more than you, old man."
------------------------
"I found you."


Cam is the MC and the character you will be playing. She has a very social personality, due to moving a lot and constantly meeting new people. She can also be quite an airhead at times. Although she is usually the opposite from being aggressive or angry, she'll go ballistic if you hurt her loved ones. Cameron adores her big brother David, who she has always looked up to.

Obtainable characters


Image

"Your brother is an idiot. Let's make out in front of him!"
------------------------
"There's nothing I can do to change this. It's always been you."


Mami is Cameron's oldest and dearest friend, apart from David. Although she was born in Japan, she's been living with her family in the US since she was three years old. Energetic and sociable, Mami doesn't shy away from challenges or changes. While she's usually full of confidence, she's not always honest about her feelings and tends to bottle them up and ignore them. She is engaged with Cameron's brother David, who she has been dating for two years.


Image

"No, really, it's alright. I like doing this for him."
------------------
"I can't do this, no matter....no matter how much I want to."


As the total opposite to her twin sister Mami, Yoko is calm and shy, forcing herself to be prim and proper at all times. She doesn't talk about herself a lot and mainly concerns herself with the needs of her husband. There are many things she wants from life, but she's too afraid of being judged to voice them.


Image

"Oh, what a splendid specimen! Say, would you mind acting as my test subject?"
-------------------------
"There are some things science can't fix, but I'll do my best to make sure that changes."


Leanora is, with one word, a geek. She loves science and barely talks about anything else. Although she is exceptionally intelligent, her grades are horrible as she tends to get lost in whatever she is experimenting with at the moment and completly forgets reality. She doesn't seem to be very popular at school.


Image

"Shut up and feed me, slave."
----------------
"This is not about whether I lo...- whether I like you. This is about whether I'm any good for you."

Annika teaches Literature and German at Cameron's new High School. She is very strict when it comes to her pupils' studies and her threats are far from empty. She is beautiful, but does not seem to have a boyfriend and is therefore very popular with the male students, despite (or maybe because of) her cold and stern attitude. What nobody knows is that she has an entirely different side to her that none of her students ever see.


Others

Image

"Get over here and give me a hug, kiddo!"
----------------------
"All I've ever wanted was for you to be happy."


David is Cameron's brother and Mami's fiancèe. He's pretty laidback and charming, which makes him very popular with the ladies, as well as with the kids at elementary school where he teaches. He loves Cameron just as much as she loves him and the two of them used to be inseperable until their parents moved away and took Cameron with them, while David stayed behind to live with their now deceased grandmother.


Image

"I know everything about everyone."
---------------------
"I'm not weird. Just different in a charming and lovable way."


This one is a mystery. She always appears at the weirdest places and times with news and information about the people Cameron meets. The fourth wall apparently doesn't exist for her.


Image

"I don't have time for fools!"
-----------------------
"You're not the only one that never got a choice."


Ren is neither the nicest, nor the most patient man around. Due to his job as a lawyer he's always under pressure and tends to get agitated easily. Despite that, he can be a gentleman when he wants (or needs) to be and is very popular with women, who seem drawn to his strict attitude and good looks.

CG sketches and other stuff I want to show off

Image

One of the first CGs in the game, so no spoilers. ;)
(My background skills suck, as you can see and I'll probably change that once I have the time and patience to really get behind it...like, two weeks after never. xD)
__________________________

Staff:
Me! :D
(seriously though, I might need to find someone to do the colouring for me, cause I really suck at that...as soon as I know this project is DEFINITELY going somewhere)

__________________________

Ramble time!
So, this project has been at the back of my mind for a long time now. Whenever I play a GxB or a BxG game, I tend to get bored easily, having seen every character archetype a thousand times already, so it was clear to me that, if I were to make a VN, it would have to be GxG.
However, that's not simply to show a lot of cute girls making out. I will try to make it something you can enjoy even if you're not too fond of the idea of GxG.
(And I actually considered making it....less than suitable for kids. I'm not sure yet, though, so for now this topic will stay where it is. If I decide to do this it won't be completly 18+ though. I have no desire to show every little detail. I want it to be decent and not simply for the sake of showing naked skin.)

Snappy-sounding dialogue? Cute MC with infectious grin? I'm in.
Forever Alone: Nerds the Gathering - A brotome game. (Nerdy Valentine's Day Card and small status update 2/14/14)
Night at the Hospital - Maiden voyage of Team Snugglebunny
Skylessia: Tale of the Boon - Epic fantasy whatsit, currently on hiatus.
Viking Pipsqueak Productions Blog (under construction)

I occasionally frequently draw other people's characters. Now offering delinquentization, medievalization, and cyborgification. Hit me up in PM if you want sprites for your KN or non-ren'ai VN.

EVEN IF THE TENDONS OF MY THUMBS TEAR INTO NOTHINGNESS, EVEN IF I GO NEARSIGHTED FROM STARING TOO HARD AT THE SCREEN, EVEN IF MY BODY IS CLOSE TO COLLAPSE FROM THE 72 HOURS I HAVE GONE WITHOUT FOOD! I WILL DEFEAT YOU!

Yes!!!!!!! Another yuri game! :D I'm starting to think that I started the yuri vns power curve or something.. :lol: *shots* (Maybe not..)

Anyways.. You have interesting plot and nice selection of characters. :) If I have to pick one of the obtainables I would probably pick Annika. Older women... *drools*

Good luck and try to have fun! I'm going to start stalking this now..

I'm really liking this cast of characters! They seem like they'll probably all play off each other really well. I love the art style, too!

Also, Leanora = so much yessss.

You can steal your brother's fiancée? Interesting..

I'm glad somebody's making a GxG game. I always enjoyed those. And so far, it looks amazing. Your art is adorable, by the way.

I think what I like most about this is that all the potential relationships are atypical. It's very much a breathe of fresh air. My favourite so far is Mami. I think I'll like her personality and her looks cool. And there is just something so forbidden about stealing your brother's fiancee that I want to see what happens.

It's great to see an atypical GxG game in the works. The variety of obtainable characters already makes me interested to play several routes. But Leanora and Annika interest me most so far. :D
