Butterfly
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:15 am
I've just started my adventure with Ren'Py so it is my first Visual Novel. It was originally designed to be a "point-and-click" adventure game but because of some hardware problems, the project was postponed and has been aging on my hard drive for months - until now.
Butterfly is a cyberpunk story, which takes place at the end of the XXI century. It's not a fairy-tale, it's more like s-f thriller. Because of the nature of its content (dialogues, graphics), it is appropriate only for mature players. I think it will be quite different from most of the games here on the forum, but I hope you'll like it. I can't really say anything about the plot, because the first episode is like a "detective story"
All I can say is that the main character is male and he's also the narrator.
Now, into some details. The game/novel will have:
- interesting (I think so) plot with many characters,
- five episodes (the first one has over 1300 lines of in-game text)
- 3D rendered backgrounds, characters and animated cut-scenes,
- original music, composed by a professional composer especially for this game,
I'm Polish and "Butterfly" was originally written in Polish as well. I translated it into English as well as I could to make it "international" I'm aware that my English writing will never be as impressive (and correct) as the one of a native speaker. I just hope I didn't make things to vague.
The whole game is already designed (script, descriptions, some concept art, maps, story boards). Script of the first episode is already playable (without sound and 90% of graphics, though). Music is almost prepared, I will add when the game is finished.
If everything goes according to the "plan", episode 1 should be ready in a few weeks. Like I mentioned, I have just started with Ren'Py and I still need to learn how to use it, every day I discover something new. But I'm sure the final product will have what it takes.
A few screenshots from Episode 1
Cheers!
