Perceptions of the Dead - [NanoReno15] [Horror]

#1 Post by Geckos »

Perceptions of the Dead
is a horror visual novel about a rather laid back ghost hunter who likes to maintain an air of mystery.


EDIT--- view the finished game here! http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 11&t=31435
I am the project manager and artist! Nyo is the writer. We were lucky enough to get a team of amazing people to help us out.

This project will be voiced by:
Justice Washington - as Tyrone
Mel Gorsha - as Tulip
Heidi Tabing - as Ripley
Josh Putnam (Khenpoe) - as Marcus

Music is being done by Caelem
And sound effects will be done by Annie Quinn


Image
Tyrone (main)
Age : Late Twenties
Description:
Despite having come face to face with the kind of things horror movies are written about, Tyrone still believes that the worst time of his life was his youth spent growing up in a really bad part of a big city. Now he’s happy to live off the fat of working in a very obscure, niche industry and explore the country, helping people put their ghosts to rest, sometimes literally, sometimes not.

Image
Marcus
Age: Late Twenties
Description:
Marcus is Tyrone’s friend from when Tyrone’s family moved to the suburbs. Nothing can bring down his mood. He cares about nothing other than hygiene and cleanliness and he is impossible to bother. He has been watching over Tyrone’s house while he’s been away.

Image
Tulip
Age: Roughly Sixteen
Description:
This Neighborhood Girl just shows up out of no where and starts asking questions about Tyrone and his investigations. She appears to be the epitome of upper middle class white upbringing, and probably has no idea what she’s getting into! Or maybe not...

Image
Ripley
Age : Late twenties, early thirties.
Ripley is a ghost. A very old ghost. She’s after Tyrone because he’s very powerful, and might be able to help her with a little problem she has. She’s very laid back because she has very few concerns at this point in her unlife.


So far we have about 75% of the project completed, and we hope to add an extra route to the game, time permitting.

We hope to release the game for Windows, Mac, Linux, and hopefully Android.

EDIT 3/22
Here's a line of voice and a bit of music from the game! It features Tyrone and Tulip.

Wow a horror themed VN! Can't wait to play it when it's done, fabulous art, and the interface for the game are fitting so well with the theme! Even I'm not a big fan for horror things I think I'll give this one a go and probably will love it! Good luck!

Thank you! I look forward to hearing what you think. :3

I generally use NanoReno as an excuse to experiment. This time I chose to use a vertical screen format for that very reason, in part because I'd like to release it for android.

Possibly? I would have to have someone else do that for me as I do not have access to a Mac computer. @@


Update!
I thought I'd share a music clip from the game with some voice acting and music in there. :3
Tyrone and then Tulip speaking.

For the first route of the game (we hope to have time to add a small side route), we need only to render 2 images, add sound effects and finish up a bit of music!
