Hello !

I'm happy to release beta version of my very short Kinetic novel "Ivy"

I wrote this to train myself in writing. Here is my method : I select a keyword, perform a search in Flickr (I'm not a graphic artist at all), choose 5-6 photos and try to imagine a story to go with it.
Then I put it together in Ren"Py, with music and sound for ambiance.
This is also an occasion to train to Ren'Py coding.

Here is the result of my first attempt :


The plot
Ivy is a famous singer, but she has a secret... Her fame comes from a supernatural cause...

Disclaimer
English is not my native language, but I made a quick translation so that people here could read my work. However I intend to ask my colleagues that teach english to review my work. French version is of course a better choice if you can read it.
Nonetheless, if you find mispellings or translations errors, I'd be happy to know.
I'd also be interested to know if there is any strange behaviour in my game (especially windows or MacOSX versions, as I work mostly on linux)

Thanks for your help and critiques.

Download links [edit : new links]

I tried to download it for Windows but a menu popped up with 2 choices and since I don't know French I don't know what to do to download it.

OK, I put the files directly on the forum as attachments, so you now have new download links in the first post.

Enjoy !

I really enjoyed this!
It was different and intresting.
One spelling mistake in the ENG translation would be in the beginning it says "ans" when it should be "and"

this is an intresting way to make a story.

Thanks for your insight.

I'll look into the mispelling.
