Notions: a short romance between two lost people.
Haha, the subject is so lame, sorry.
Umm, I've been working on this for months now, and should have posted it sooner.. I barely have time to post about it now as I'm struggling to meet the self-imposed release date, which is August 10th! This release will be the basic version - no extras, no seperate paths, just a simple story with art and writing by me and music by Orson.
The Notions website can be found here, and here's a little more content:
Set in Boston and hopefully released in August, Notions is about a young man named Arthur who meets a girl named Elaine when he finds her suicide note.
Arthur is a young college student (and cellist) who feels lost in the world. When he finds what appears to be a suicide note and calls the number on it, he may inadvertently become the only force keeping a remarkable young girl interested in living.
Elaine is an artist who has lately been thinking deeply on the nature and purpose of her life. Though she generally seems happy enough, there's fragility behind her smile.
More information will be available when, well, I've released the basic version and have more time to focus on promoting it! xD; The "complete edition" should come out a month or two later. I'm also seeking artists to contribute guest art that'll be featured in the complete release, so please let me know if you're interested!

Re: Notions: a short romance between two lost people.
Intriguing premise. I like the title too. It sorta reminds me of June Kim's "12 Days."
If by "guest art" you mean fan art, I think I'm interested.

How do you make your games? I see. Thank you for the prompt replies, but it is my considered opinion that you're doing it wrong inefficiently because I am a perfushenal professional. Do it my way this way and we can all ascend VN Nirvana together while allowing me to stroke my ego you will improve much faster. Also, please don't forget to thank me for this constructive critique or I will cry and bore you to death respond appropriately with a tl;dr rant discourse of epic adequately lengthy proportions. - Sarcasm Veiled in Euphemism: Secrets of Forum Civility by lordcloudx (Coming soon to an online ebook near you.)

Fanart? I "might" try it . I'm not very good at art, but I would try my best.

That's good to hear!
It's nice to have deadlines and such, but remember to not overdo it. Or procrastinate .

Man, yeah, I know. Dx Little did I know that I would be scheduled to work almost every day leading up to the 10th and beyond, plus my friends and family are clamoring to spend time doing things before I leave for college. But, I'm working hard! I'm sorryy. ;-;

Re: Notions: a short romance between two lost people.
It's finally done!
Check the website for the link, or just go here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/qrmp2r
Disclaimers! This is the "first movement" - a beta version, basically. It is a kinetic novel (ie, no dialogue trees/paths/etc), and fairly short- this won't be the case with the final version! Its plot, setting, etc. are also not really that of a traditional VN, so please keep that in mind.
That said, I'd love to know everyone's opinions, suggestions, etc! I'm so excited. My first completed game! >///< (Well, it is complete in its own right, even if it's not as complete as it's going to be.)

Completely just found this thread over a year later. Amazing what you find clicking people's signature links.
The story's incredibly sweet, and a good short read. Looking forward to seeing the newer version of it soon~
