(So this is our first VN, going to be something really big...)

In School Fortune, you play as the gnome Tristan Crowing, newcomer at C. Fire College. Sounds boring? Sounds like the usual "new-guy-at-school-story"?
But not with Tristan and his bad luck. You may choose one guy out of eight (and one special) with whom you'll end up. Everyone of them belongs to another race and has his own special secrets as well as characteristics. No matter, whom you choose, the main story is the same and together the boys have to solve a mysterious riddle about disappeared wings, old books and (of course :wink: ) much fun. :mrgreen:

(Following section is currently under construction due to sprite redrawing.)
About the characters:

Image
Tristan Crowing
Main character
Age: 16

He's new at C. Fire College and Mr. Unlucky in person. Sometimes he reacts a bit touchy and sensitive.

Image

Age: 16
Race: Elf
Zodiac sign: Virgo
The studious and highly intelligent head boy. But is he really that perfect as he seems?

Image

Image
Marek Aquilan
Obtainable
Age: 16
Race: Nightmaster

Image

Highly talented mage. Likes esoteric stuff and doing experiments. A crazy, funny little fellow.


Note: Demo may contain some mistakes... I know that I'll need proofreaders :wink:
Art quality and style improve and change during the game, so don't be surprised.

Hint: Dating-sim part may be a bit tricky... but if you try to get one of the guys every day, it'll pay off just fine ;)

Thanks everyone for the first replies ^^ And of course for liking the sprites (you know, the artist is only 13 ;-))

And yes, James: We wanted to create rather unusual characters :mrgreen:
We thought, a crazy, funny vampire or a rowdy-fairy would be something completely new, and different from the "normal" fantasy-characters :wink: :)

Wow, this looks promising! The characters are really unique, and the story has a pinch of something different than you're regular school harem. :D
I can't wait to play the demo! *u*

It´s very annoying to do everything Simon says....
Every time I draw a new picture or sprite, he complains about nearly everything!!!
But in the end, he´s pleased every time...^^

I like the variety.

Gotta say I'm really bugged by the neon blue comic sans though D;

heh, that's because I created a dating-sim-like part in the game, without using the dating-sim engine at all... :wink:
