Scattered Notes [GxG/YuriJam]

#1 Post by Raithfyre »

Scattered Notes is a fantasy GxG yuri game created for the Yuri Game Jam of 2015!

You can grab the demo of the game here!

Image

Scattered Notes will tell the story of Alena, an artificer, and the traveling dancer Sienna. It's a kinetic fantasy novel, taking place in the port town of Chirrelle, just weeks before a grand celebration. Visitors of all shapes and sizes are flooding in, and Sienna's troupe is amongst them. Alena, as a luckless craftswoman and native of the city, is hoping for the busyness to bring change with it. And it does.

We'll be using a third-person narrative, rather than the traditional first, in order to swap perspectives between the characters at time. We hope to place an especially strong emphasis on our soundtrack, which will play an important role in the story.

Image

Alena is an artificer; a craftswoman who specializes in small trinkets and inventions that take just a little bit of everyday magic to work. Sadly, in a world where that kind of magic is commonplace, her creations aren't especially popular. Her talent isn't lacking - only its practicality.

Sienna comes from abroad, but she'll never say exactly where. The leader of her troupe and a skilled dancer as well as singer, she's the epitome of a free spirit. A little bit absentminded, but capable, Sienna's always able to get herself out of any trouble she finds herself in.

Image

There are 6 people working on the project. I've included our Twitter handles if you have any interest in following along with our other works.

I'll keep this thread updated as we go along. Please follow along with us in development, and feel free to leave comments or ask any questions you might have. Thanks for reading!

You can hear a couple samples of the soundtrack in progress here and here.

Below, you can see some rough sketches for the backgrounds and setting.

Looks promising, and the character designs are really nice.
Kind of disappointing to know it's just a short KN.

I really like these two! One of the things I love seeing in romance is "high contrast" couples, so if this is what it looks like - that is, awkward nerdy inventor girl + outgoing saucy dancer lady - then I am totally into that XD I'm excited to see what you make. Good luck! :D

Thank you for the compliments on the designs! I'll do my best to make them look even better in our sprites.
