Ruins of Ralumnea
[Ra|lum|nea]

Story:

Ever since Ines lost her parents in a dragon attack,
she's been slaying all kinds of monsters as part of Grimea, the monster hunter's guild.
Now, she and her mentor have been ordered to investigate the increasing number of attacks
at the edge of a huge forest - and soon, Ines will discover that there's more to this
than she would ever have expected. This old forest has a well kept secret...

Questions:

1. Does this sound interesting to you?
2. What would you expect from this game after reading this?
3. How do you feel about VNs that are not focused on romance/dating? Do you usually prefer dating VNs?

... work in progress ...

Ines
comming soon


The main character Ines. A monster hunteress.


Ines's mentor - Ines refers to him as "Master".


The mayor of a small town at the edge of the forest.


And here's Phyrria!

End of day 2!

Story is written around 10-15%
And I started sprite sketches!
Here are sketches for 3 of 4 characters I'd need to tell my story.



From left to right: Master (he still needs a name!), Phyrria and Ines!

There still are some mistakes I need to fix, haha. Masters head is a little to large and other stuff.
And yes, this sketch is messy as hell, haha. But they always look that way~ at least in an early to mid stage,
while I'm still exploring what I like and what I don't!

Yes, Phyrria is indeed an elvish girl!

UPDATE:

I've spend the weekend with my family and the new Zelda game~ so not much progress!
But I'm back to work on this now.

I'll post an update on the characters, as soon as I'm done with the clean up work.
Also I'm writing down the script atm.
I'll need to look for a proofreader afterwards, to make sure that there are less mistakes~
Especially since it's not my first language.

Laurence finished the original soundtrack and I really love it. He did such a great job on this!

Could get myself away from Zelda BOTW for a few hours to work on this project, haha!
... That game is way to addicting.

I present the outlines of one of the 4 characters.
The old Lady and mayor of the small forest town!
Some details might still change through.

@Laurence: That's nice of you! And I'm not sick of you! Don't worry, haha!

Reworked the summary/log line:

she's been slaying all kinds of monsters as part of Grimea, the monster hunter's guild.
Now, she and her mentor have been ordered to investigate the increasing number of attacks
at the edge of a huge forest - and soon, Ines will discover that there's more to this
