[mapletaffy]

Hello,
Many thanks for those who downloaded my first vn.
I'm working for my second visual novel right now and I tried to post it here first to get some feedback about various stuff. I spent more time making this than my first vn. This is a little longer but not very long.

Update 05/06/12:
Because of some things that is really out of my control, i have to move the release date of Heartful Chance next Saturday, May 12, 2012. (T.T) This is embarrassing~ I'm so sorry. But this is really out of my control. (T.T) Thank you for the consideration.

Story

Everyday seems to be the same, according to Eimi, an average student from St. Jean-Marie Academy.
One time, during their Chemistry class, Eimi forgot to do her homework and sought her friend, Charlotte’s help in exchange of writing a romantic love letter to her crush.

Through the letter, Charlotte finally got the attention of her crush.

When word spread around the campus about Charlotte and her crush's love story , many of Eimi’s schoolmates soon began asking her to write for them love letters.

Eimi soon became known as “Love Letter Princess”.

As they say, fame has its price.

One day, just a week before Valentine's Day, Eimi’s crush, Kouhei asked her to write a love letter for a special girl.

Will Eimi be able to write a love letter knowing that it is for someone else who holds a place in Kouhe’s heart?


Character



Eimi Mitchell
Birthday: June 22
Blood type: A
Height: 163cm
Weight: 120lbs

Eimi is just an average student. She is an inactive member of writer's club.
She often underestimates herself and always refers to herself as "Ms. Nobody" since she doesn’t know the reason of her existence.
But everything seems to change when she meet Kouhei, one of the most popular student in her school.
Can someone from the opposite polarity change Eimi's outlook in life?

Kouhei seems to look so quiet but he's not. He is the president of his school's Chemistry club, an active member of tennis club and a consistent honor student.
Many student thinks that he is unapproachable because of his status in school. However, Eimi managed to get to know him and discover his human side. But is that Enough reason for him to love Eimi more than friends?

Henri is one of the seniors in St. Jean-Marie Academy. He is often absent in his classes and just doing whatever he wants to do inside the school.
At first, he found Eimi really annoying and for him, love letters are obsolete. He even hates Eimi for being so childish all the time.

Weight: 127lbs

Charlotte is Eimi's noisy friend. She can't keep secrets and if you tell something to her, it will be published throughout the campus within 5 minutes.

this sounds totally freaking adorable, I can't wait to see more of it! do you have any screenshots of your UI and the in-game sprites and stuff, or are you planning on keeping those on the DL for now?

[mapletaffy]

Hello vociferocity~
The character headshots above are the actual game sprites. (^_^) However, I'm planning to keep the UI for the download. But the sample event CGs will be posted here soon.~

Uwaaahhh cute game indeed <3 I do love the story, it reminds me of when I was in high-school ;_; I wrote a numerous of love letters for my friends. Dunno if it's a black fire but I'm not able to have a single boyfriend ever since asoicmnf9w4g9 T____T

I'm really really really looking forward to this. *Stalks stalks* I wish you a lot of luck for this promising project.

[mapletaffy]

Thank you rin~~~~
Just like you and Eimi, when I was in high school, one of my classmate asked me to write a love letter too~ (>.<) It was fun but. . . yeah~ I guess there's a curse for writing love letter for other people~ (>.<);

[teacup]

Oh wow, another game from you! I loved your first one, it is actually one of my favorites. Definitely looking forward to this one.
Your art is so adorable and shiny! This seems like it will be another cute and simple game.
Was there something specific you want feedback on?

[mapletaffy]

Thank you teacup~~ I'm glad you liked my first game before~
This game has only 2 guys/2 endings~ but a little longer (very very little) than Witch Spell~
Nothing specific about the feedback~ just random suggestions from people in the forum~ (^_^)

[DiamondRoseTears]

It looks really nice!!

I've played your first vn some months ago too and it was just awesome! (I am not sure if I had commented there though cause it was a busy period of my life and I was forgetting a lot of things!)

Keep up the good job!!
I am really looking forward to it!!

[mapletaffy]

Thank you, diamondrosetears~

[Magicprincess20]

I tottaly loved Your game whitch spell, and i have a question for you. Can you please try to Add more endings? I think 2 ending whould be not Munch maby 3 ending and a only truend. Is just a question.

[teacup]

Release date May 6? Awesome! It'll be like a slightly belated birthday gift for me :'D
I can't wait for this. Best of luck getting it done!

[Celestine]

I really liked your game Witch Spell, it was really cute. So I'm sure this one will turn out cute too.
How many endings are you planning to have in this one though?
I mean a girl writing a letter for another girl to the guy she has a crush on sound like it would turn out a bit complicated though.

[tuna_sushi]

This sounds so cute! >.<
I'm going to continue stalking this thread!
Seriously I've been stalking :p
I played Witch Spell before and it was adorable X3

P.S.: Those CGs are wonderful *w*

[mapletaffy]

@magicprincess20: I really want to add more endings, however, more ending means more work~and I'm scared that I can't finish it~ But I will add more endings to my next visual novel after this. (｡◕‿◕｡)


@teacup: Thank you teacup~ waaah~ really~ I selected that day because It's just a few weeks before my birthday~ so it's my birthday gift to myself too. XD Advanced happy birthday to us~✿◕ ‿ ◕✿

@celestine: Thank you~ ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿ This one has 2 endings (one ending for each guy). The story sounds complicated~ however, the whole story happened just a week (in their time) so everything is fast forwarded and simple~

@tuna_sushi: thank you so much, tuna_sushi~!✿

[Cidz]

I loved your game Witch's Spell so I am really looking forward to this one! It sounds so cute.
