This looks like a really fun otome game!

Some things to point out, though:
-the summary of story is a bit vague and doesn't explain anything
-main character might be a bit of a Mary-Sue

I've also noticed that you put the character's inspirations inside the their profile, I'm guessing that has something to do with the plot?

The art is gorgeous, by the way. I love your colouring and the way you draw boots and feet. I wish you the best of luck for this game.

//rolls in
I've been stalking this project from DA, so glad that you decided to post it here 8D (Knows from a pic of ???? in my inbox one day haha)

The premise sounds promising. Magic and mystery, the holy combination, my favorite genres ♥

I am interesting in "????" //shot

Oh, and Mary Sue:
Today "Mary Sue" carries a connotation of wish-fulfillment and is commonly associated with self-insertion (the writing of oneself into a fictional story). True self-insertion is a literal and generally undisguised representation of the author; most characters described as "Mary Sues" are not, though they are often called "proxies"[5] for the author. The negative connotation comes from this "wish-fulfillment" implication: the "Mary Sue" is judged a poorly developed character, too perfect and lacking in realism to be interesting.[6] (Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Sue)
I don't think the main character is that much of a Mary Sue actually ;u; just my opinion.

Ah, I don't mean Mary-Sue, sorry. I meant that she seemed a little generic. When I read her profile, I didn't feel any like or dislike towards her as she was rather one-dimensional, plain and boring.

I may seem a bit harsh here, but all of the characters are pretty, well, plain and boring. The art makes up for it, but I believe a good cast of characters is important too. The cast right now seems a bit unrealistic, probably due to their odd likes and dislikes.

For example:
Atribute: ????
Age:16
Likes: Praising her, Kind people, Sing, Play instruments, Nature, Animals.
Hates: Killers, Mean people, Blood, Sadness.
Rival: None
Inspiration: Music
I'm pretty sure that any normal person would have the same likes and dislikes. Anyone that is sane and normal dislikes murderers or being sad. A normal person would also definitely dislike someone being a jerk to them, unless they're a masochist or something. Most people can't stand blood or gore, so they would obviously dislike it.

The same can be said about her likes. They're too normal and obvious. There's nothing exactly special about her liking these things. Unless you were trying to make her seem abnormal for being too generic, you should try to understand and develop her character a bit more. As I said in the beginning, right now she doesn't seem realistic, she just seems too one-dimensional.

The male characters are also rather cliche, but I'm not going to go through all of them. I'm not your writer, so it isn't my duty to do so.

For a first game, this is quite ambitious. I hope you're dedicated enough to keep pushing with this game all through the end. Quite a lot of WIPs have stalled, and been given up. I don't wish for that to happen to this game. If you need any help, you can always ask for it.

Another thing: the summary is still a bit vague and awkard. This link:http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... =4&t=17683 may help you out.

I've noticed that Heartless-Star is the writer for this game. However, the opening post is riddled with lots of spelling errors, and that doesn't exactly help to make people interested in your game, since Heartless-Star is the one who wrote the opening post. If they think the writer can't write a proper promotional post (whatever you call it, opening post etc), then they'll think that the game will be badly written.

I wish you the best of luck with this game.

I understand what you mean and there would be no way we would stop this project. I know im not good writer so i have been looking for a writer since the project started. And now i finally found one so there wont be any problem about writing so you all can relax now. I have never been originally thinking being the writer since i already know that im not qualified of it. Im originally an programmer and since there havent been anyone who wanted to be the writer for this project (until now) i basically thought i could be until i found one :)

So no worries people, everything is going to go well and yeah about the characters being boring, i guess we have to make them interesting so i'll and the others will work hard and make them interesting. And thanks for your thought about this and you dont sound hars at all since you told us truth and your thought. Beside we aren't someone who gives up just like that just because of these things. As i said, im always up for opinions and thoughts. but remember this is our first VN ever so it cant be perfect :)

Well im gonna disappear now *using smokeball and disappear*

The art, the characters, the story... Anything thing in praise I could say has already been said by someone else! I wish you the best of luck with this! But let me ask one thing: Do you have a logo yet? If not, I would be happy to make one for you! Either way, this looks quite good. I will be keeping my eye on this!

Here's my thread if you're interested. It would be free, because I am volunteering!

HELLO! The game is really cute! The characters are well-drawn also.. Though, there is, uhm.. quite a small problem.. Your grammar and spellings of the words.. well, they need improvement. Like, you said that the main protagonist's uncle is the 'principle'. It's supposed to be principal. And.. 'lifes' is wrong. It's supposed to be lives.

So, if you need help with the grammar checking and script stuff.. I could help. I hope you won't be mad with my comment. :D :D
Bish please, I'm fab.

Obviously, I'm going to agree with the fact that the art is simply beautiful. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this game and will look forward to downloading it. I also love your little short character summaries and besides the fact that your english is just a tad off, I see nothing else wrong with it at the moment. Keep it up the good work ^^

Thank you for liking the art and the summaries of the characters! (Not trying to say too much of the characters, otherwise it wouldn't be any fun) Im also glad that you're going to play or VN when it's finished but for now we are trying to get the demo done. I quite now that my english is't all good since its not my mother langue, but i'll try to fix my mistakes. Thanks for this comment, we will do our best with this project and make it as good as possible! :)

PS: Im not the writer because of these circumstances, and i want to presentate our writer Strawberry for joining us in this Project! Here can you all see her writing before joining -----> http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 38&t=18344
