Hence, the process will be free and for fun - which means laid back. But of course, your feedback and comments would still help me immensely, and if you would like to give me a hand at the art and all (at which I am painfully slow), it would be lovely!
The game is currently being developed in Chinese, but there will also be an English version.
You will be able to play the game and understand the plot regardless of whether or not you have already read Prince of Tennis.
翔-Ailes
Stat-raising, slice-of-life, romance
Plot
Can you write a glorious new chapter of your life with everything you've cherished eight years ago?
The winter eight years after graduating from Hyoutei and starting university in France, Lin Yue (name changeable) returns to Tokyo with the intention of opening a new branch of her mother's beauty salon franchise: 翔-Ailes. Seeing her old friends confirmed her expectation that everything apart from their faces had changed drastically with time. And she knows that some old enemies were probably already prowling about her the moment she landed in the airport.
But Lin Yue is far from being discouraged by all the changes. She is resolved to make magic and beauty happen once more, in a city where everything was once held dear to her heart.
Start by finding a suitable location for your branch. Then, work with recruitment and advertisement. You can also goof off and practice art and other hobbies - but in the end, you'd still have to make your salon branch work out. Are you up for the challenge?

Main Menu WIP
Characters (rough sketches, more coming; blurbs will be expanded)
林月 Lin Yue (name changeable)
(26)
The sharp and stubborn heroine, determined to cultivate a new world of her own from everything dear in her memories.
(27)
The tensai poker face who has his way with women. Yue's childhood friend. CEO of YuTsai Real Estate.
(26)
Yue's best friend. Reputed vocalist. Atobe's girlfriend at the beginning of the game.
(27)
... Need we really an introduction of this guy and his unparalleled arrogance? CEO of the Atobe estate, which dabbles in practically any affair you can think of.
(27)
Still as narcoleptic as always. Occupation pending in evility's head.
(27)
Seems to still wear a grumpy face around all the time. Still has the tendency to drag Ootori for tennis practice. Occupation pending, but most likely will be professional tennis player.
(26)
The good Ootori is now a cardiac surgeon.
(27)
Oshitari's best pal has finally grown taller! And has become a paediatrician? [Sprite needs fixing BADLY...]
(26)
Has inherited his family dojo. [Sprite also needs fixing BADLY...]
(25)
?????
(??)
????????
These are all the concept sketches for now. They're all really rough, and need fixing on the details (such as hands = =+), but they're coming.
I'm currently unable to provide screenshots for the game program itself, since I'm using random sprites as place-holders. But once I get some sprites done, I should be able to provide screenshots and hopefully a short demo.
It's quite a large project, as you can see. The plan is to make a stat-raising system to monitor the salon-management in the game, and to make ALL the Hyoutei characters (possibly including Kabaji...) plus one hidden character date-able. We'll see how that goes.
-------------------------------
RECRUITING!!!
Currently in need of anime-style CG artists.
As this is a doujin game, I obviously can't sell it or anything. It's just going to be free and fun. So, if you also love Prince of Tennis and Hyoutei, and feel like collaborating with the very laid-back evility who will never press you for time, please let me know and post samples of your work
!
I guess I get the first post again. Haha!
. Thanks for the encouragement! Moral support = <3.
! Eiji was my fav too, before Oshitari came along XP. But since I still love Eiji so much, he's going to appear in the game for sure XP. I'll work him in one way or another. Thanks for the feedback
