GODS OF NOWHERE (With Demo) [Friendship, Drama]

#1 Post by detective »

- GODS OF NOWHERE -

"You can’t say no to Death. It's hard to when he’s renting a room right above you."


Christmas Eve, 1998. Ichabod, meek as any young man can be, stumbles upon a bed and breakfast in the middle of nowhere. The “Heilbronner Hof”. Four isolated strangers meet there and are changed - but for better or for worse?

Gods of Nowhere is a game with dating sim elements, allowing each of the four characters to form bonds (Companionship) with the others, leading to new dialogue and scenes.

The premise and art style are catching :) I can't say much until I play the demo so will comment once I've finished it.

Friendship is an important theme for me. If the main character has goals other than "choose favorite love interest," then I'll be inclined to like the character.

Not to be redundant, but I definitely noticed the art. I'm uncertain how to describe it... the best term I can think of is "modern cartoon or webcomic." I like it, and it should help make the characters look distinct from each other.

On the script so far:
1. A character walks around thinking, with a gun. Since I'm not sure why the person's armed, the scene is suddenly tense.

2. It seems this is a story about adults, and the setting of Boston seems authentic.

3. Some characters should curse quite a bit in dialogue and inner monologue. It's believable. Just make sure that not *everyone* comes across as Sir Swears-a-lot.

Your art reminds me most immediately of Nargyle's, with something else I can't place, but which seems very familiar. Do you have a tumblr?

This looks pretty cool though, will be checking out the demo tomorrow hopefully!

This sounds fantastic. And like everyone else I'm digging the art X3. I'll probably just wait for the full version instead of playing the demo but we'll see.

That art style is unlike anything I've ever seen in the VN community. Very cool! Will be keeping an eye out for this one. :)

@Laiska The other artist you're thinking of might be Tessa Stone? And yeah, my tumblr is at detectivedeathmachine.tumblr.com.

Anywho, thanks for the feedback, everyone.
