Wallflower Bloom [GxB][Slice of Life][Romance]

[lazzyassloth]

Late Bloomers First Love
of the girl, by the girl, for the girl

This game is directed to girls, there will be 5 guy that you can date, while you could also maintaining more than one relationship. This still an idea, I don’t have any clear plot how this going to be. The girl protagonist is semi-shut-in and misanthropist, she just about going to college and learn how society works. The background would set in my native country, Indonesia. Most of OELVN are set in Japanese, America, Medieval or something. I also wanted to make a daily slice of life base of my country! (Although that not necessarily would be a good representation of most people in my country, just like how VN also differ from the reality in Japan) After all this is only a fiction works.

Genre: Slice of Life, Romance, Angst

The game will be FREE and it will be distributed via itch.io and possibly Google Play Store.

❁The Story❁
Premise: I wish I could just disappear…

Ani is a second year in college, she got into chemistry department. She likes shoujo manga and dramas, basically she had no life and friends since most of time she spends in the internet. Sure, she still doing her studies. But that’s it. She has no interest to engage with real people. She shuts herself from the world. She trying to change herself, just like a character that in the manga. The results, you don’t have to ask. She failed and only tired herself out. Along the way she meets people, it was inevitable that human bounds to be social being and meet more people.

The main theme for this game is motivation. Rather than having "good" and "bad" endings, it is a matter if you ended up with someone or alone, you decide whether you want to pursue love or not. Do you want to change yourself or not? The purpose is to boost someone confidence and courage to face the obstacle of being a part in the society. I don’t know if I can make this game a good support, as in fact real life isn’t a fiction, but I am trying my best to spread positive intentions.

*Disclaimer*
I know my English is terrible, I never had any problem using it for conversations. But because this will be a story, well players also expect a beautiful sentence don't they? I will probably find someone who would like to co-write with me or proofread my English. I'm only doing the concept, art, and codes.

Since this is my very first project, I will keep the story simple.

I like this idea. It seems interesting to focus on the protagonist's efforts to better herself, and what it will take for her to become a more social person.

The background would set in my native country, Indonesia... I also wanted to make a daily slice of life base of my country! (Although that not necessarily would be a good representation of most people in my country, just like how VN also differ from the reality in Japan) After all this is only a fiction works.

I'm interested. Through fiction, I've often learned about different nations, cultures, world history, and so on. This is something which I enjoy. I want to know what other people experience -- find out what I have in common with others, and what I can learn from differences.

I am not an expert regarding realism in fiction. Search the web instead to learn about this subject. That said, in my opinion, a story does not need to be relentlessly morose in order to be realistic. Likewise, I think that if a story includes science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural elements, it can still seem plausible.

Too much of my pop culture entertainment has been limited to works which originated from only four or five nations. I'm embarrassed to realize how few things I've experienced which originated in South America, or about two-thirds of Europe, and so on. Because of this, I think that my understanding of the world is rather limited.

Ani is very pretty. c: I like the way that you drew her hair.

I like the fact that you are setting the game in your home country. There have been more developers doing that recently - the team developing Golden Hour is setting their story in a fictional place with a blend of elements from both Japan and the Philippines.
