Anyway, I'm working on a VN for my final project in uni. I have a couple of weeks more to submit the beta version and hopefully graduate in time. So, I'd like to share with you what I have of the story so far in the hopes that you'll find it interesting enough to read it once it's fully done.
THE FLOWER GIRL
copyright © 2009 anaraffali muzik (That's Ren's Alice by the way in the role of the flower girl
) I think she's a ghost. Nobody can see her except for me.
But if I point it out to my friends, they'll think I'm crazy. And if I point out what she is to her, she'll probably send flying books, fruits and shoes at me like crazy.
She has this strange habit of appearing in the oddest of places. One time, I was at school and I desperately needed to...umm... to maybe find another example that would not make me look weird.
And she could be anywhere, as long as I'm there. She must have ran out of houses to haunt or decent people to scare. But man... can she really be scary sometimes...
Adam thinks he can see dead people, well... at least one dead person. But Sunny seems to be too cheerful to be dead, unconvinced and even offended by the thought of her not being alive. To her, she is asleep and dreaming. Then how come he's the only living person that can see her? A ghost in denial, maybe.
It started with him coming to Japan as a high school exchange student. No, everything was ok then. It actually started when he got a hold of the Leica M8. No, it happened when he took a photo of the sunflower field and ended up with both the field and flower girl grinning; a striking picture if everyone else can see the girl among the flowers. The rest was history, Sunny became a part of his Japanese adventure. The flower ghost girl that appears out of nowhere and starts to become more and more real, forcing him to make decisions that may change his life and the lives of those around him.

TECHNICAL INFO
- I'm basically the writer and programmer, art director/editor for this entire project.
- I can barely draw a decent stickman so I'm using existing art under commons or which are free to edit and use.
- This game was partly inspired by my experience as an exchange student in Japan (well, mostly the food scenes) and the occasional daydreams I have as a young girl (ehem.. I lied, I dreamt it all up after I turned 23, late last year.)
- There are 9 major characters involved, hero and girl included.
- Three main 'branches' to the story, with two characters supporting each branch.
- Its like you have normal levels involving each character, sub-boss levels (3 characters) and boss levels (3 characters) to get to the bottom of the mystery.
- I'll also be including mini-games as part of the experience.
- There's only 1 girl, but who needs other options when you have the perfect match?

I'll put more details on the characters and story in the next post. Possibly a teaser/demo for you to chew on.
Thanks for reading, you've officially become a part of this.
