Lemma Soft Forums

I hope this is alright, since I'm well aware that there really isn't much to show you guys, but hopefully it's fine. I apologize in advance for how bare this thread looks. *falls over*

Dear Mr. God is meant to be a short, non-commercial, kinetic visual novel, just something to test the waters with Ren'Py. The unfortunate thing is that I have no graphics whatsoever to show you at the moment, still working on that whole thing with finding artists. I have some people who might be interested, but I'm still open to anyone who'd like to help out.

Plot? Yes. Plot.:
Dear Mr. God revolves around Liam Masters, an older brother who's sister, Lillibelle, has recently committed suicide. Why? Well, he doesn't know, really. How could a little sister who seemed perfectly fine for so long just suddenly decide she wanted to take her own life? His mom won't say anything. Being the mature, level-headed seventeen year old he is, Liam decides to snoop around in his little sister's room, looking for something that will explain exactly what happened to his sister.

It all starts with a letter, "Dear Mr. God,"... Join Liam as he discovers the thoughts of his sister from even when she was 9 years old, up until the day she ended it all for herself.

Here, have a little excerpt:

"Mr. God, how did you make Heaven? We learn about it in Sunday school, but I want to know how you make a house on clouds.
I want to live on the clouds. It's probably very pretty up there.
I asked Mommy to buy a house in the clouds so I could come visit you, but she says you are very busy.
Can you send one of your angels to pick me up? I can teach you how to play gold fish, Liam taught me how to.
Liam is my smelly big brother."

Art? Nope. Not yet.:
As I said before, there is no art to speak of. Nope. No logo, not even a nice little user interface. I would really like to get some people on board with this, people experienced with such things, since I have the art skills of a pregnant horse with no limbs. There is a UI. That's about it. xD

Mugics? Hell yeah, music.:
So far all the tracks except two are by Kevin MacLeod (oh joy I bet none of you know who that guy is), the other being made by the lovely Jabicho82. Wanna take a listen? I bet you do. At least I have something to show, right? Right. Here's the little beauty.

Voice acting? Maybe.:
This thing might be partially voice acted, since whomever I cast as Liam (if I do) will have to do quite a bit of reading if it included his thoughts. Thus I was thinking lowering it only to the spoken parts, which is only roughly about 15 lines. If I do do that, I'd need someone to voice act his mother as well, so I'm still thinking about it.

Statistics? You bet your darn-diddly-done-diggity-dip face! Lookie here: Writing - AbhorrentFear: 100% (all that's left is perhaps a little more proofing and such)
Art - *pending though perhaps Teiyra or Etudity*: 0% (*loud ugly sobbing heard in the distance*)
Music - Jabicho82 (and stuff from Kevin MacLeod): 100%
Coding - AbhorrentFear: 100%
Voice acting? - Very much so pending.

Questions, because I'd really like to get some feedback and answers to these:

1.) Does this seem interesting at all? Though it is short, I really would like to know if this is simply something that no one has interest in.

2.) Would you be interested in joining in to create a logo, or a simple GUI? Or do you know anyone that would be? At this point, any help is appreciated.

3.) Do you think it should be fully voice-acted, from Lilli's letters, to Liam's thoughts, or just partially?

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and reading. Hopefully people will be interested.

Sounds like a really sad story. I'd like to read it when it comes out. Good luck with getting it done

Thank you very much for showing interest!~
*salutes* I will do my best. Hopefully most of this project will go swimmingly. xD

The story seems really intriguing. I shall be following this. If you should have voice acting for this in the future, I'd be interested in helping out. =)

I AM INTERESTED. In this kind of stories, yes. Like suicide, homosexuality - I read almost all kind of genre except gore / horror or anything that is pretty much hurting my poor sorry eyes. OTL

If only I'm not busy with my own VNs, I wanna help out. TTUTT </3

Although voice acting isn't really required, but it would be nice to either voice Liam's thoughts or just Lilli's letters. But it's still up to you. :">


More power on this, I'll be expecting tears here and there though. |'DDD

Thanks for the feedback everyone ^^

I've been working hard on the VN, but unfortunately, my artist is no longer able to draw. Now I have no one working on an art at all. The good thing is, that I have a fully coded menu, along with a CG & fanart gallery, and a music room. If anyone has free time, and are willing to draw, please do PM me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Voice acting is still pending, but I'm thinking of voicing Lilli's letters.
