Characters -

Miona Stanza A 17-year-old girl whose mother lost her life. battling The Spiders to retake Earth. Her father also remains down, aiding in the Earth Restoration Program. Summoned as a suitable Kowashite Pilot, assigned to Link 3, Miona can't help but feel a little weary of her unit, since it seems her Link is able to talk to her.

Ryan Cram A very young chosen Pilot for Link 5 - Ryan is 11 years old, and is fascinated with arachnids. Many have come to hate them, due to the invasion of The Spiders, but Ryan sees differently. He has a pet spider and often brings him on missions.

Yolanda Lopez A 15 year old pilot who is kind and sweet. She's quite energized, but not to the point of annoyance. She is the pilot of Link 2.

Dr. David Sniper Miona's "alpha coach". He is Link 3's main instructor, making sure everything is going well and in constant contact with Miona, helping her when needed. David is super friendly and informal, having Miona call him "Dave" instead of "Dr. Sniper".

Prof. Iris Solace Miona's "beta coach", Link 3's back-up instructor. She's a lot more professional than David is, and tries to keep David in line and focused when helping Miona.

Original Backgrounds -
Most backgrounds in the game will be made by my brother. Here is an example of one;
Made with Google Sketch-Up, rendered through Blender.

Okay! Sooo....
Despite how ambitious this might sound, it's actually quite the scale down from what usually ends up happening during NaNoRenO time (that is, TOO MANY CHARACTERS). This time I am keeping the cast down, I have the story planned out to its end, and....I'm really doing it, I AM making my own art! This story was actually an idea for a manga, but I decided to use it as my NaNoRenO project (doesn't mean I won't make a manga adaption later, though). Also...it's going to be Kinetic (if choices for some odd reason get thrown in, it'll be Linear, but I'll probably keep it Kinetic for time's sake). I've always wanted to make a mecha story, just for fun. I haven't seen too many mech anime as I wish I have, so if this sounds similar to another story that is not intentional, but it is NaNoRenO and something to challenge myself with (besides, you have no idea my plans since the plot is just the surface, hehehe). My invaders of choice may seem a little cheesy (giant alien spiders, I know....) and the mech designs crude (on purpose, too, not just because me drawing mechs will look childish...realistically, if you decide to defend humanity with mechs, I'd imagine they'd start out crude instead of the sophisticated Eva Units, Jaegars, Gundams, whatever else exists in the mecha world) but I hope it'll be an enjoyable story overall!

If I am note mistaken, "Kowashite" is Japanese for "destroy" or "to break" (somewhere along those lines) if I'm wrong, feel free to correct since I still have time to change the title XD

Ohh, this sounds interesting.

Forgive me for saying this: but it sounds a little similar to Evangelion ^^ (not that that's a bad thing, cause Evangelion is awesome).

Haha, looking at the plot is does seem that way (And yes, Evangelion is awesome) though hopefully the story will unfold better than my description XD

Sounds interesting :>. But you didn't explain what a 'Link' is. I'm guessing that's what they call the mechs but I don't know for sure since it isn't specified.

Added two more character brief profile

The mechs are called Kowashite, however each individual Kowashite unit is referred to as a Link. For example, Miona's Kowashite is Link 3, since it is the third Kowashite to be produced.

I see. Thanks for the explanation C:

Updates are coming a bit slow, due to the fact my Internet is pretty unstable at the moment. But I will update this thread when I can.


I wrote a little bit;

The game contains 405 dialogue blocks, containing 3,609 words and 19,584
characters, for an average of 8.9 words and 48 characters per block.

The game contains 0 menus, 0 images, and 12 screens.

I also have sketch designs of Commander Lea, Ryan Cram, and Prof. Iris Solace, so I should be spriting them soon.

And below is Yolanda's sprite;

Added Dave's sprite to first post.

Made a logo, using cooltext.com;

Behind schedule a bit, but thankfully I have a burst of writing! Anyway, put the current word count, plus Iris' sprite!

Ryan's sprite is up!
Updated word count.

Cool, keep at it! The story sounds interesting, so I would love to check it out when it's finished. I'm glad to see it's coming along.

Glad to see more interest! It keeps me going~

Despite not making the NaNoRenO deadline, I am still writing this, putting everything else on hold until this one is done. I have all but one background, I pretty much found all the music, now all that is left is some more writing, CGs, and sound effects.

I will post an update soon~

Very good news!
