Sour Grapes (gXb, otome, slice of life)

#1 Post by Duvilier » Wed Jul 03, 2013 1:40 pm

Hello,
Well my love of otome games has caused me to want to make one of my own. I'm making it with choicescript which is a good program for people with limited drawing skills and they even offer to sell your finished work. I don’t know want to spoil anything, so everything is going to be vague.
Synopsis: A choose your own adventure game and visual novel slice of life otome game made where a rural lass adjusts to life after her father's death.
Character sketches (these will be redrawn and made better at a later date):
characterlist.png
From left to right:
1. He is a farmer from the North, who goes by the nick name Osado, that has recently moved to the area and needs help on his farm. (I can’t decide if he should have his hair in a ponytail or down)
2. Amarillo is the owner of the general store; even though the town is lacking in paved roads and traffic lights, he is proud that his family owns most of it.
3. This is the main character, Sarah (name-changeable). I’m experimenting with trying to allow the player to craft the personality of the main player to their liking. At the beginning, there is an option to change the appearance of the MC(12 different MC picture possibilities), if that is too long and list like, I could either set an evolving character sprite that becomes more detailed as you make choices or change the appearance of the default MC as you make choices(like the sketches show). Let me know which one you prefer.
She has just graduated from high school and is on her summer break.
4. Enrique is the former president of the science club. He is shy and isn’t very good with people.
5.Brother is your loving mischievous sibling.
6. This is your a little less than loving Ma. She is still grieving the loss of her husband, and sometimes takes her frustration out on you. You hope her wrath dosen’t get so bad that she kicks you out of the house.
I’m hosting the game on dropbox, it dosen’t have a lot of ads or popups like other sites.
Here’s the game link (It’s online, no download. After Enrique leaves, it’s unfinished so you will get an error.) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/188 ... index.html
If you want to sign up to dropbox which can host your games, back up your files online, and allow members of a team to transfer files to each other quickly, you can use my referral link(dropbox has to be downloaded before you can store files) http://db.tt/aEG7UUCU you will get 2.5 GB of space.
What do you think of the game so far?
What should I change?
Do you like the topic?
Should I have more characters?
Are all of the text and stats easy to read and understand?
What should I change about the characters?
