Early beta is up! viewtopic.php?f=45&t=43408

-------------------------------------

Well, it's that time of year again... NaNoRenO! And this time, I am going to conquer it. How? Well, the writing for this is already done. Yes, you heard me... it's done. This was an old story I was working on back in 2013 or 2014 but never finished. I feel that the beginning was good enough on its own to salvage and decided to revive the project for this year's NaNo. I rewrote and added some sentences to bring it up to par to my current writing level and added a new beginning scene and ending scene all today. The game is about 2,600 words in length. All music and sound effects are also in place, as well as the backgrounds and placeholder sprites.

Okay, so if it's pretty much "done", what do I intend to do for the rest of this month? Well, most work will be in the voice acting and the artwork! My lovely artist, Lienai, is working on 3 CGs and 1 promo art and hopefully even the sprites themselves! Myself and Maisy McDonald will be the voices of the two characters. Majority of the work will be in waiting for Lienai's art, as the voicing will probably only take within the week. This means until I get my art, I can still work on releasing the short version of my last year's entry which... expanded into a full on game... so you guys might get TWO game releases from us this April!

Anyway, I just wanted to write a short but sweet story, and I feel reviving this old project would be perfect for this year's jam!

GAME PROGRESS:
Writing: DONE!
Sound Effects: 100%
Music: 100% CC
Backgrounds: 100%
Sprites: 100%
CGs: 100%
Voice Acting: 1 of 2, Extra

- THE TEAM -

Received lines for the one extra in the game!

Sadly I got a freakin' cold, and just when I had the free quiet moment to record. Ugh. I am recovering, but until my voice gets better, I can't record the lines for my character. I'm pretty sure I'll be well enough before the jam ends, however.

The third and final CG is underway!

This might have a slightly later release (but still in April!) due to the fact sprites will be made last, but hey, better late than never, eh? Also, I have finally recovered from my cold, so I can start recording my lines.

Uh oh. From the quote of this thread... will I be expecting a tear jerker?!?! T ~ T I'm looking forward to this! Good luck (and it's always better "late" than "never"! ) ^ ^

You'll have to see~

Happy you're looking forward to it!

I should be getting to recording my lines this weekend. Because that's when all the busyness FINALLY dies down xD

Wooh, a fully voiced VN for NaNo!

You have one line for the summary, yet I can already sense the angst! I so love angst

Glad to hear your voice is doing better now. Good luck on recording! (And the game in general :3)

Thank you very much! Also good luck with your NaNo project as well! (I saw your thread and am quite looking forward to it).

Well, it looks like we didn't quite make it. But my artist is working on the game's poster art and will lastly work on the sprites, so do look forward to probably a May release! Better late than never, eh?
