On the Rail

#1 Post by M12 »

Kendra has the ability to foresee the future. As people fear her powers, she has never been able to make any friends. Kendra's sister, Adelphine, vowed to keep her safe. However, as peer pressure mounts, Adelphine begins to struggle. Kendra believes she's destined to be lonely. Is there no way to change this?

On the Rail is a VN we're developing at VJutsu. Ameet Sharma's composing the soundtrack. I'm currently communicating with several voice actresses. Why? We hope to compile an audio drama series as a prequel. Please look forward to it.

Anyway, here're some rough/prototype designs:

I gave On the Rail its own category on the site. You can find extra info there, such as the design process. Here's the URL:

Thanks heaps BCS.

Ameet has been kind enough to compose soundtracks for the upcoming audio drama. He posted an entry about the composition process. I just wanted to share it here:

We've found voice actresses for Kendra and Adelphine at last. That's exciting. They'll be introducing themselves soon. So, please anticipate it :D.

Maselphie, thanks for your interest in this projecet. Asceai, it's nice seeing you on LSF ;).

I tried to incorporate romance in the tale. However, theres already enough plot. I wasn't able to force any love elements into this. There could be hints, but that's about it. The focus is on the bond between Kendra and Adelphine. Hey, that counts as a relationship too, right? NOT yuri :).

Besides, wouldn't it be unusual for a college student to pursue someone in junior high (Kendra)?

Many thanks.

Oh, that's sweet. :)
I very much like character development by itself, romance is not required for me. And it sounds like you have a pretty solid story line. So, I'm interested in playing when it is released.

I assure you, most of us on the site would not blink twice to see that happen in a VN.

The story seems definitely interesting. A vn I'm looking forward to checking out. On the graphics side, I'd say your design are pretty good, the style is nice and personal, the coloring is good. I think that the designs' appeal is hindered by a proportion problem though, unless that's the look you're going for.

Haha, Ramidel, you are right XD.

Electric, thanks for the kind comments. About the proportion thing, it's not really a style. I'm just not very good :P.

Megan Socal kindly offered to voice Kendra in the upcoming On the Rail audio drama. She’s young and hopes to earn more acting experience. Please be supportive.

At last, we're done with the first segment of On the Rail's audio drama!

Kendra’s mother passed away after giving birth to her. The father plans to run away. He’s afraid of Kendra’s abnormal, crimson eyes. How will Adelphine react?

Download the clip here:

A big thanks to everyone who participated in this project. Though each episode is short, there’s a bit of work gone behind it. So, hopefully you’ll enjoy the drama, and please anticipate the next episode. Thanks!

Hello all. We're hoping to have a theme song for On the Rail. The music has been composed. However, we don't have lyrics. I'm no good at writing songs, and I'm wondering if anyone would be keen on helping out. If so, please drop a message here. I'd appreciate it very much. Thanks heaps!
