This otome visual novel is set in an alternate world, where time freezes the process of ageing as you turn 18, giving people their chance to find their destined partner. When their soulmate is found, the clock starts ticking again… Commonly, this process does not take too long… But things are different for Alyssa (MC), who has been 18 for 20 years.
After the long wait and losing hope on ever finding a soulmate...
by the patio,
under the bright full moon,
3 figures shone through the darkness.
And for the very first time, her heart thumped.
The mission to find her destined partner begins!
MC - Alyssa - Princess (default name)
In a world where your age freezes at 18 and your time freezes for you until you find your soul mate, Alyssa (default name) is the princess of one of the strongest ruling kingdoms. She has been stuck as an 18 year old for 20 years, which is not common and is the longest anyone has stayed that way. The regular time gap would be a range of 1 to 5 years. Although she is said to be the most beautiful girl in the kingdom, for some reason… She still hasn't found her fated partner.
During her 10th year or being 18, people were starting to wonder why the princess isn’t betrothed yet. In their world, when someone stays 18 for too long, meaning they couldn’t find their soul mate, they are believed to be curse by the gods. Her father, the king and Alyssa then discussed on what to do – at the end, the princess agreed to stay in the palace hidden from the public, to protect her father’s reputation and honor.
Stephanie/Stephie - Maid
Stephanie is princess Alyssa’s closest friend and personal maid. Stephanie just became Alyssa’s maid not too long ago, but due to Stephanie’s bright and bubbly personality, the princess quickly opened up to her. Alyssa talks a lot about her feelings to Stephanie and trusts her a lot. Stephanie was also the one helped the princess meet the knights.
Carter - head of the knights
A leader who has a strong aura and is respected by his knights. Carter may seem harsh and cold, but behind his demeanour, he has a kind heart. He has a hard time trusting people, due to an incident in his past.
Brent - patrol knight
Brent has a very outgoing and blunt personality. He is known for being a very cheerful and friendly knight throughout the capital. Because of this, many girls like him, but he doesn’t seem to notice their feelings as anything special. Growing up in a poor countryside, he cares deeply for citizens in the kingdom.
Lance - main palace guard
A more than capable knight who is shy and quiet. He has an insecurity regarding his height due to constant bullying and teasing from his childhood days.
★彡 NOTES
Hey there!~ This is projectotome of the Drifting Dreamers VN team! We had a long disappearance, and we’re very sorry about the lack of updates. The project head, aka me, has been a hard time in my personal mental health and has been very busy. BUT, summer’s coming up and we’ll have lots of time to work on this Visual Novel! We do hope you’ll keep on supporting us. Together with this updates are some art WIPs from our lovely sprite and BG artist.
Writing-wise, I’m actually planning to recruit writers + idea/storyline developers! I’ve been having a hard time trying to write everything, due to my co-writer having to take a break to focus on doing her own things. I’ll update a recruitment post soon! I’ll also be posting an updated post in the WIP session of the lemmasoft forums from the previous one we were in which is the Ideas part of the forum: here's our previous post: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=35552
I’m also opening once again design commissions to help fund the art of our game, but I’ll also be offering designs in exchange for other skills (eg: VA, editing, or art - we’d love to see fanarts for our in game characters!) Here’s a link to my thread: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33903. I mostly do logos, but I can do GUI designs. I'm very sorry for people I was previously in contact with, but I'm back and I can work on things for you again, if still interested! I was going through a tough time in my personal life and health, sorry for the unprofessionalism.
That’s it for now~ Once again, thank you for your understanding and support. We’ll try our best on working to completing and releasing this otome! I'm honestly excited to be back here, and hoping I can talk to a lot of you once again <3 and meet people who are as passionate as I am!
If you want to, please leave comments or responds in this thread telling us what you think or if you have inputs! We really do love getting those and we'd really appreciate it. Thank you <3 Some questions we have are:
1. What do you think of the storyline/setting?
2. What do you think of the characters (design and personality)?
3. What do you think of the logo and would anyone be interested in a logo getting made (in exchange for trades or reviews)?
4. Comments?
Love, projectotome // natchanhime
I really like setting.
the moon isn't quite crescent (it's heavier on top and has a blunt point) and i think it should frame the text a bit more (check out any of the Sailormoon title logos) I think it could benefit from being inverted as well (so white text instead of black), it will give it a more romantic feel I think.
