The Dreamweaver [NaNo16] [Completed!]

#1 Post by RumRat »

Completed!
(first vn though, don't expect anything mindblowing)
Thanks everyone for your comments! :D

"It is my very existence."
Story
"A child's footsteps echo through the vast hallways of dreams."
Curious and playful, as only a child can be, the little girl ventures into a vast chamber, where she meets a man of smoke and stardust.
Characters


Kali
A little girl with golden locks.

The Dreamweaver
The one who weaves the silver threads of your subconscious mind.

(sorry for the gif quality, actual bg quality is not diminished in the vn)
Progress
Completed!

Due to being busy and a nasty pc virus, the story had to be shortened and I couldn't do some art I had in mind for it, but hopefully some will still find it enjoyable. :D

1. Would you be interested in playing a kinetic vn collection of short, odd, fantasy stories?
Yes! And the premise of this one sounds really good :)

I've always been interested in the idea of a VN that's more like a short story collection than a novel -- so I'm curious to see what you do with it.

I enjoy "short, odd fantasy," so I'll be sure to follow the progress of this one. What type of fantasy will this be like? Fairy tail-esque? Mythological? Something else?

Best of luck!

Yes! A thousand times yes. Short fantasy stories that sell on the stories are absolutely wonderful all the time.

Definitely! I absolutely adore short stories of that kind, it'll be wonderful seeing it in a kinetic VN format.

This sounds like such an interesting concept already and it's wonderful you have the dreamweaver's part completely written! Sketching your art assets definitely counts XD congratulations on your progress! I'm sure they'll look awesome when you post them. And oh gosh good luck on the GUI. Good luck on the whole game, I really look forward to seeing more about it!
You can call me either Weenily or Gaile! They/them pronouns please and thank you.

I'm glad people are showing interest! Thanks guys, means a lot to me! :D
I'm bad at online communication, and a friend told me to use exclamation marks and smileys so I don't sound emotionless :"D

Hey, thanks for the interest. 'The Dreamweaver' has a fairytale-ish, childrens story feel I think, but some of the other stories I have in mind for the collection have a bit of a different feel to them. The thing they all have in common is the 'short, odd fantasy' bit, and that they mainly focus on characters and their interaction. :)

1. I usually avoid KN but this, I would play. :D

2. Your background is actually pretty, very nicely done. They aren't bad at all, and for a first time, it's just great. :D Heck, mine was phenomenally...bad your eyes would probably bleed if you look at it. ._.

It's great to know you'd give it a shot even though it's kinetic, admittedly, I tend to avoid KN's myself :"D (I think a lot of people are probably ignoring the thread because of the kinetic tag, haha)

And thanks a lot, I'm glad you think so, I haven't been able to draw a bg once in my life, can't believe I actually (almost) finished one. :D

I really love Kali's design, the way you drew her curls and the folds on her clothing is so pretty!! I also really like that BG gosh. It feels so mystical!

Hey, thanks a lot, it was supposed to be a random sketch but I quite like it myself, so I'll probably end up using it as one of the templates for her sprite. :D
And oh god, I'm glad you like the background, I thought for sure it was going to be a disaster. :"D

The background looks really cool! Mystical is definitely a good word for it. uvu
More of the purple light/shadow on the pillars could help to unite everything.
