Mind(less) [GxB] [Puzzle/Murder Mystery]

#1 Post by Schwer-von-Begriff » Sun Feb 16, 2014 4:55 pm

Mind(less)

Story:

Cough (Name changeable) wakes up in a world that she knows by heart - but nothing feels the same.
Her name doesn't seem right, her coughing won't stop and the people she meets seem so familiar, yet so far out of reach.
One moment she can see the sun, only to be met with a dark moon seconds later.
The environment around her seems to change as soon as she closes her eyes - and her memories change with it.

Her confusion only becomes worse when she is met with countless murders, all centered around herself...

- 1/2 puzzle RPG, 1/2 Visual Novel

- Choose a strenght! [Intelligent; Sporty; Understanding]
- Choose a weakness! [Weak; Slow; Hot-Headed]

- A bunch of different endings + CG's


Characters:

Cough

Image

A 20 year old woman that wakes up in the middle of nowhere, left with almost no memories and a name that she knows can only be fake.
Trained to become a police officer but can't remember anything else.


Stump

Image

A 19 year old boy with a flamboyant personality.
Claims to be a soccer professional.
Just like Cough he can't remember his name - woke up with a tag that had 'Stump' written on it.
He is known for being humorous.
A person that stays positive through everything.


Patch

Image

A 24 year old man with the habit of having one arm stuck behind his back.
It makes him uncomfortable to have both of his arms resting beside him.
Likes to keep to himself, but has a sharp mind.
He woke up with a bracelet around his right arm that had 'Patch' written on it.
Just like the others he cannot remember most things, but that doesn't make his strange habits less wierd.


Memento

[Picture coming soon...]

A 29 year old man that claims to be Cough's supervisor.
He states that he remembers everything (even his name) but never talks about what is going on.
He comes and goes as he pleases, but always makes sure that Cough is alright.
Even though he likes to tease Cough whenever he can, he is a really serious man.


Ashe

[Picture coming soon...]

A 23 year old man that always hides his face.
Really intelligent, even called a genius by some.
He wears a necklace with 'Ashe' written on it and seems to remember more than the others.
He could be best described as a loner, but a loner that makes sure that everyone is safe and sound.


Caligola

[Picture coming soon...]

A mysterious young man that only shows himself to Cough.
He always get's flustered around her and is so shy that he can't even look Cough in the eyes most of the time.
He seems to know everything and nothing at once.


What YOU can do:

To include the tastes of the audience, you are free to suggest how Caligola should look like! Brown, black or red hair? Feminine or masculine? Blue or green clothes? T-Shirt or pullover? Just state it - and I will draw him the way most of you want him to look like!


What do you think of the project? Does the story seem interesting? What do you think of the art style? What about the personality choices? Any further suggestions?

Puzzles, as well as minigames. You have to combine and find things and interact with your environment. :)

Hi! :mrgreen: So your story seems good for starter and interesting enough to catch my attention, but can you clarify for me. :? You said that every time she closes her eyes, do you mean every time she blinks or every time she goes to sleep? And how much memory changes when that happens? Do they jumble around showing her different types of memory? How did those murder connect to all this?

For personality choices I love it that there were different types, and also a great thing that draws me in was that you put it in an rpg with a hint of romance and definitely with the mystery theme.
Art style... to tell you the truth, some need improvement mainly the coloring, but don't stress so much about it. Because if you do, you won't get much done and I would love to play this.

So I will just assume you are doing this by yourself and it looks like you got a big project on your hand so good luck. Don't lose hope and strive through the boredom.
P.S. (Not trying to be a grammar Nazi, but you spell strength wrong. There are people who are very picking about it though I don't mind it much. :D )

@Dre: (I hope it's alright if I call you that?)

Oh well, it's hard to explain what is exactly going on, because it would spoil a few things. I can try to explain, though. To put it simple, your actions and those of the other characters will change your memory and the environment. Picture this: You have the option to look around a room - depending on what the other characters say, the things they describe will suddenly appear. Or a character tells you that it's dark outside, but it is currently day. That changes Cough's memory and thus leads to her seeing that it is dark herself the moment she believes that other person.

The murders are happening while the characters try to figure out what is going on and they change depending on what other people claim to have seen. It's pretty much the manipulation of everyone's mind through each other.


Oh yes, I still need to add some effects and such for the coloring - but I'm far from being a professional. I probably redo the colorization at least once I've figured out how to use SAI properly. For now I just want something that I am able to work with. :)


Yes, this is a one woman project, at least for now. :) Oh, thanks for mentioning that! I'm sorry. English is not my native language, so a few mistakes can happen.
