Green Eyed Monster [Magical Girl][GxG][NaNoRenO 2015]

#1 Post by Carrogath »

Well, here we are, hopefully not too late...! Green Eyed Monster is a GxG visual novel about jealousy, magical girls, and coming to terms with both a rocky past and an uncertain future. The writing will be done by me, and the art is all being done by mooncakesfrommars.

Story

Lana, a college student and ex-magical girl, has spent the last four years trying to forget about her fantastical past. A call from her old partner, Jory, forces her back into action, and with it come old wounds and grievances. Will they be able to put aside their differences for long enough to survive one last fight, or will they destroy themselves in the end?

The script is projected to be around 10,000 words long, and will have at least two endings (possibly a third).

Characters


Image

Lana: The main character, and a college junior studying business. She and Jory dated in high school, but she broke up with Jory right after Jory graduated. She hasn't adjusted well since, and blames Jory for a lot of her emotional baggage.


Image

Jory: Lana's ex. Marjorie, or Jory, is a college senior and journalism major. She started moonlighting as a magical girl a year before Lana did, and convinced her to join after realizing she had the potential to become one. They didn't exactly break up on good terms, and now she's dating someone else, which makes their reunion particularly awkward.

Gladys: Jory's current girlfriend. She is very much grounded in reality, which may or may not be a good thing considering Jory's part-time job in high school.

Progress

5/5 sprites done, 3/3 backgrounds done, GUI done, music done, writing the endings...

I was going to stupidly ask about your artist until I saw it was mooncakes! I'm super happy to see you both work as a team.
Her art is really precious and you know how to flesh out your characters(damn I'm envious I can't write for living). I can't wait to see this done. XD! Good luck to both!

@clua
Yeah! Good luck with yours, too.

@KittyKatStar
Thank you so much!

@rubberduck4lunch
uh-huh okay

Got more sprites in. Here's a preview of their magical girl costumes! They also have blood-spattered variants in the full game, because nothing says "magical girl" like being covered in (green) gore.

Me too! I really like the way they came out.

Backgrounds got finished, so I'm posting a mockup screenshot here. Still working on that third draft, but it should be finished within a few more days.

Dang, if the bulk of magical girl designs looked more like these, I would be SO much more into the genre >3>;

@Mad Harlequin
Thank you!

@Fox Lee
These are definitely more medieval-inspired than they are magical girl-inspired. You might notice that there are some frills on their outfits, but they don't exactly mesh with the rest of the design, haha...

Some GUI screenshots.
