[VN, Sci-Fi] Dispersio

#1 Post by Footprint »

If the section is wrong: I'm sorry. Please could you move it?

I also wrote in the guestbook but i think that we must say to everyone who we are.
Footprint is the name of an Indie Italia Team born two month ago.
We'll focus on Visual Novel, trying to distinguish from the other VN and get to this genre be more appreciate by occidental people.


Image
Dispersio will be our first project.

Site
Footprint

Team:
Me: programmer, scriptwriter and director
My brother: character designer, drawer, songwriter.


Plot:
“You're aunt is dying”
I love my family when they give me good news.



I perfectly remember that day...

An earth tremor.
No more light...
Nothing around me...
Suddenly a blinding light sorround me
then i realize that it isn't my world...


I don't want to say a lot about the plot because it's really important in a VN.


Other Info:
Go away! You're useless!...Or not?
Dispersio won't have gorgeous ladies who scampering everywhere, obviously there will be female character but they'll be normal people.
Ther will be soundtrack but we won't abuse of it we'll focus on the Sound Effect to help indentification. Anyone have a own soundtrack in the real life so also in Dispersio soundtrack won't be important.
In Dispersio there won't be a true main character because all the character will be important but obviusly one character will be more important than other but he won't be the hero because in Dispersio ther aren't any world to save, or any lost memory...

Plot
The plot will be the true main character of the game.
The first two chapter will be the introduction, they will destroy the peacefulness. After this first chapter the story will be divided in chapters. You must play every chapter different time to cover all the possible way and to understand the plot.
Dispersio will be set into a hypothetical futuristic cyber-punk world. There won't be any strange alien, or powerful android.

A Visual Nover without choose?
There will be obviously some chooses that will influence your understanding of the plot but without changing the end.
In Dispersio will be important HOW you get to the end and not what will happen when you'll finally reach it.

Price&Release:
Dispersio Chapter 01 will be released on AppStore this month.
The first chapter will be an introduction to what will happen, from the second one the story will be so so so exciting.
The game will have only italian language but in a week, or two, you'll have the english version.
The two version will have the same price 0,79€/0,99$.
We'll try to keep the same price for all the chapters but if one or two chapter will be so, so, so longer the maximum price will be 1,59€/1,99$.
We must decide the price for the PC/MAC version.

So the focus is "how could reach the end point" rather than "what end will you get"... that's sound interesting (and unusual).

Hey, this looks pretty cool! I don't really quite get what it's about, but hey, the art looks awesome and intruiging!

Do you have an editor for your English? o.o I could be of service, if you'd like one.

Thank you for the interest.
I'll be the editor for the english version but if we earn enough money we'll hire someone.

It's an iPhone/iPod Touch release but we'll release an iPad version for 0,99$/0,79€.
This version will be free for everyone who had bought the iPhone version so you can buy and play this version on your iPad (the graphic won't be horrible because the pictures have a really good quality) than, when it will be available, buy for free the iPad version for the game.
PS: The PC/Mac version will have a 1024x600 or 1280x720 resolution

The game is finished.
Tomorrow we'll register on iPhone Dev Program.
When Apple give the activation code we'll start with the beta testing.
The game will be released in English, Italian, Spanish and German (Spanish and German version will be available after the Italian and English version). Each version cost only 0,79€/0,99$ and it's a very good price because the only VN on the App Store (only Japanese language) have an high price (8€/15€)
The Promotional Video gave us some problem with the animation but we're working on it

Could you please update us on how successful the game is (or isn't) in the English and Spanish versions?
I'm wondering about the financial feasibility of releases to the Iphone.

The grammar is wrong. I'm not sure what you were trying to say, maybe "a future that will never happen"?
The rest of the video is nice, hope it'll help the sales.

Que? Su no entiendo.

What's PS? Google said it's either Playstation, or PostScript.
The first two lines say you meant it, the third says you agree with me. I don't get it.
