Death Rule:lost code [RELEASED]

[Reikun]

Despite the numerous admirers he has, George has never pursued a relationship for the sole fact that he believes in ‘love at first sight.’

You and me both, George. Except that nobody admires me. HAHAHA

It was during that time that she met her late husband.

I didn't know she was married!!!!!! When I first played the demo I didn't get the impression that she was even old enough to be married and have a son???? D:

Is quite tech-savvy. He once hacked into his college professor’s record book to boost his grade in Math, and has built his own computer.

Give me your skills.

That was a fun read xD I can't wait till this is finally released ;0; (also, crying at that Dwight teaser from EP2 a few posts back. At this rate, Dwight is gonna be my fave character OTL)

That little fact plays a big role in his MO here...

Well, waking up and discovering that you're in a game that could very much kill you dosen't make an older person keep a cool head. She shows more of her wisdom later on though.
Also, she has a wedding ring on (It's hard to see due to being covered by the text box though)

Glad you like them! I have a lot of fun with these along with silently dropping hints and I'll probably do for all of them (As of this post, Tina's is up)

And believe me, you're gonna love what Ia did with Dwight in Ep2.

While I took a break from editing, I decided to fix up the map a bit.

(Red dots are Players, White ones are weapons, Blue ones are traps)

[Hijiri]

More screenshots for you to ogle at~
This is just something I wanted to test. Feel free to give me your opinions on this type of dialogue scenes, since this screen is just a test one.

[azureXtwilight]

It looks really cool! Gives the feeling on a one vs one duel or something

Loving the fact that there are so many diversity in the game, people with different backgrounds and such. It makes they feel like real people and I'm sure I will enjoy it~ *orgettotallyscaredheh*

It's actually more 1 on 1 convo than actual fighting. If I do something simiar to fights, it would be more like this.

And yeah, they've changed a lot since the beginning. TBH, only a few of them were going to get some focus and have their backgrounds revealed. (Tanya and Dwight, for example, were cannon fodder before. Now both of them play key roles in the Death Rule universe.)

Current news:
-Coding for Ep2 is about 10% done
-A new cursor was made for the game.
-I accidentally overwrote the most recent copy of lost code's script with an older copy. Now I'm back to pre-Day 2....
AAAAAARRRRRRRG!

With that out of the way....
Hijiri begins slamming his head against the wall until unconscious.

Our little Halloween game, Death Rule: Fear Complex is out now. With this out of the way, the next demo for lost code will take priority.

Speaking of lost code, I've recovered somewhat, and I hope to have something done by Thanksgiving. Wish me luck!

[Hijiri]

Been dealing with a bit of writer's block, so I decided to work on the unfinished parts of the UI today. Here's the music room!


The Music Room will display the name of the artist below the selected track. Any and all comments are appreciated!

[Hijiri]

Alright, considering my pace at the moment I may be able to release the new demo around New Years (If no problems arise in school). All of the bonus menus have been finished and coded as well. (But all save the music room are locked in the demo.) In the meantime, I'll leave you with some dere Abe.

I'm sorry if this violates the mental image you've had of him. Also, the cast has more expressions.

[azureXtwilight]

Mental image violated, all right O_O I-I thought you just switched to the romance genre.

Anyways, good luck for everything!

Hehe, don't worry, that specific expression will probably only show up in the Extra Stage (My equivalent of Higurashi's wrap-up party, except with 3 team members being involved in the talks and some silliness as well)

I doubt there will ever be a Death Rule dating sim Despite getting numerous messages asking me why this isn't an otome/bishoujou game. Actually, that may be the reason why I'll never do one

Well... Isn't this almost exactly the same as (the settings at least) the Japanese Secret Game series? I mean, sure, those who don't know would find an English version pretty interesting but, for those who do know... never mind.

I take a lot of inspiration from FLAT's Secret Game series, yes, but at the same time I also take from a few other things. (Battle Royale, Hunger Games, The Running Man, etc) Yes, I do sort of borrow the setting of Code:Revise (albeit, with a few major differences) but the main story of the Death Rule series and the SG series are vastly different, and take different paths. (There's also the fact that SGKQ and SGCR were H-Games...)

Funny story though; this entire project started off as a pseudo fanfiction of Killer Queen (That was 4 years ago). Over time, it's evolved into what it is now. But in-game, I do throw a few nods to KQ and CR as a homage to those games, since they inspired me to create VN's.

[Xuan]

Well, there's no harm making a 'fanfic' VN. I've personally entertained with the idea once - although I quickly gave up after that particular fanfic I'm writing grew to a 70k+ words monsters.

Good luck - though I think you really could use an upgrade on the art.
