Shizukesa (VN) [Otome/GxB]

[pineapplefreak]

Heyyy there~!
So I'm pretty new to all this and especially to this community so I don't really know what to expect
Anyways since I've now somewhat adjusted to my new tablet, I've decided to take my visual novel idea to the next level!
Yep I'm pretty excited But uh it still has a long way to go which is why I decided to post this here.

With that said, I'll now present the 'current' banner-to-be in progress:

(SN: It's pretty much a rough draft banner, because I still have to edit&alter the lineart and shading HENCE the horrible shading/coloring -.-')


Main details
Title: Shizukesa ("stillness?" in English)
Platform: PC (Possibly MAC too if I can figure it out)
Genre: Otome/Romance/Simulation
# of attainable guys/endings: 3 + a mystery character route and has a total of 8 endings.
Rating: 15+ (Might slightly be changed for language and some mature content)

Quick Plot info
You, the heroine, have been a 1st year at (Insert high school name here) High for about 4 months now. Sadly your high school life hasn't been going the way you'd imagine it
would be and has actually been quite dull until this point. With the months you have left until the year finishes off, can you find love before Christmas and New Years arrive?

Character info
- I've already gone and sketched out each of the characters, I'm working on coloring+shading them
so I'll go ahead and post them once I complete each of them as a preview.
- Each of them will also have a certain number of CGS!
- I've already decided that all the attainable guys will have a happy & bad ending, so that makes it 2 endings per character.
- I still have to come up with their last names, so if you have any suggestions that would help a ton! (In Japanese preferred)

Heroine
Name: If I can figure out how to fix the glitch in my program you will have the option of naming her! (:
Age: Not yet decided. (~15 or 16)
DOB & sign: Not yet decided.
Description: While typing up the script I really tried to give you the chance of developing the heroine's personality thru the choices/decisions you make.
(But please feel free to slap me with your shoe if I failed >.<) Besides that though you can go ahead and label her as the classic dense and innocent heroine in every other otome game.

Haru
(He's the one in the banner & at the bottom )
Age: Around 16
DOB & sign: Not yet decided.
Description: Haru seems like the cool and quiet type which was what I was originally going for, but in the script he ended up as
being something else. His personality is completely different from the way he first comes off as, he's actually quite um goofy? but pessimistic and he's a little rude towards people he doesn't know.
Other info: Haru's route will be the longest and will have the most CGs.
Prepare to consider him the 'main male protagonist' because he actually is xD

Kento
Age: Around 16
DOB & sign: Not yet decided.
Description: Well I'm just gonna go ahead and say it now, he's sort of like the idol of your school.
You meet Kento while rushing to one of yours classes and bump into him causing you to drop your books and he leaves you there to pick it all up on your own.
Kento's in a band which is made pretty clear in the beginning of the game, basically he's the cheerful, sarcastic butt head that pushes your buttons most of the time that you're around him.
Other info: Not much to tell yet.

Tohru
Age: Around 16
DOB & sign: Not yet decided.
Description: One word, delinquent. But at least the not so antisocial type! Tohru's probably my favorite character out of the 3
When he blushes it's sooo adorable! You'll see what I mean sooner or later c: He's in your school's boy basketball team, and unlike some bad boy type guys
he actually hates being a loner, interacts with other characters, and has some of his own friends you'll meet if you play his route.
Other info: Not much to tell yet.

Other Stuff

Random Kento sketch.


A headshot of an unfinished, somewhat flat-colored sketch of one of Haru's poses. Yes I know he's pale, I haven't finished adjusting his skin tone color yet

- Well that's it for now, I'd love to know what you guys think about the banner and the game so far? Love it, hate it, whatever your opinion is tell me C:
- If you'd like to suggest some last names for the 3 main guys and a name for the high school, that would be amazing! Any tips or anything else, feel free to to also let me know :3
- I'll reply with some image updates and possibly game image screen shots if I get that far. Thanks for reading until this point if you did & sorry for babbling on! (:

You can get the Mac and Linux during distribution ^^

I think the naming thing goes like this:

Code: Select all

$ char = renpy.input("Please enter the heroine’s name. If nothing is entered, it will default to “Cordelia”.")
$ char = char.strip() #to erase extra spaces, I think.

label this:
if char == (""):
$ char = "Cordelia"

char "Hello?"
b "Hello, is [char] here?"

Good luck with everything![/size]

I don't want to be rude or noisy or something like that, but as far as I know Shizukesa doesn't really mean whisper, but more like stillness, since shizuka means quiet or calm.
See: http://tangorin.com/#general/しずけさ

As for the name of the school, why not pick the name of an existing one? Since I could imagine it's difficult to come up with a name on your own.
For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_hi ... s_in_Japan

No not at all, actually thanks for letting me know. Uh I guess that's what I get for using Google translate, I'll probably end up sticking with Shizukesa though and I'll take a look at the list thankyouu ^^
