Ah, well, my initial thread about Chaos Hearts has long been dead.
I felt it was appropriate to post up another because my ideas about the game have drastically changed.
Firstly, let me get some basic information down.
Chaos Hearts is a BL (Boy's Love) game based on the bestselling series Harry Potter, by J.K. Rowling. The fandom is a personal favorite of mine, and one that is probably most common among slash pairings: Harry/Draco. It takes place mostly in Hogwarts, where the player is Harry Potter.
Plot
After a stressful summer at the Dursley's, Harry returns to Hogwarts. Here, he notices the peculiar behavior of Malfoy, your long-time rival; depending on his reactions, their relationship can take several turns either for the worse, or for the better. Or, perhaps, it won't change at all.
Rating
I plan for the rating to be R, or NC-17, for sexual content, sensuality, and a bit of language. However, this is not a hentai game, so the sexual content is all conveniently-placed shadows and limbs blocking private parts, so don't expect anything explicit. There will be a lot of blood in one particular ending.
Gameplay
The gameplay is pretty simple. You simply follow the text and make decisions. However, I've come to realize that the game will need something more than just reading and chosing, because there isn't as much interaction between game and player. I'm going to put a map feature, a few items, and perhaps an objective list of some sort.

I need at least two more people to help:
1) Programmer. Obviously, someone who is able to put everything together on Ren'Py, and who is able to handle my nitpicking.
2) Background Artist. Again, someone who can handle my nitpicking. I can be very anal about certain things.
Other
At the moment, the 'script' that I'm writing out needs a lot of work to be near completion. Anyone who volunteers as an artist or programmer doesn't have to start working immediately because of this. Also, I feel that the way it's progressing, the amount of CGs won't exceed 25. I want to keep that at a small amount, though a few more or less doesn't hurt anything.
The music is all taken care of, courtesy of http://www.incompetech.com. (Check it out! It's all awesome.)
Lastly, anyone is welcome to offer suggestions. I welcome criticism, so don't be afraid to be blunt about something you don't like, think is not going to work, or whatever else.
