Unfortunately, our writer for the Homestead had to leave our project. This leaves us with a few options-- either I become the writer or we recruit another one. To be honest, I'm not much of a writer-- I can come up with characters, stories, and plots but the actual narration and dialogue get me stuck.
Here is a link to our project, for anyone who wants to jump right to it: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 50&t=25515
The Homestead is a visual novel following the lives of a pair of rare centaur twins: Agatre and Filom. Ideally, the player will be able to choose one of the twins, male or female, to get a different perspective on centaur society. Primarily, the game is a coming of age story, with some bits of slice of life and romance mixed in.
Throughout their story of personal growth, we hope our game will introduce players to the complex world the characters live in. We want to encourage thoughtful examination on clashing of cultures, the significance of spirituality both cultural and personal, friendship across generations, and individual struggles with gender roles, disability, feeling accepted, and finding self worth. Our intention is not to necessarily deal with those issues separately, but rather that each of these are a part of our characters and how they view the world.
We are looking for a writer who would like to explore these themes, and this world, with us! We have a complete outline of the story/plot, but as we are looking for a collaboration we want our partners to have creative freedom. We have documents we can share regarding story choices, character personalities and relationships, but would also like to hear your input on these things!
Some more information about our game:
- There are two protagonists, a brother and sister
- There are four romance routes, two for each protagonist
- There are four friendship routes, two for each protagonist
- There are same sex romances and friendships
- There is not sexual content
- Currently, we have three choice menus planned, each with three choices
- There is only one common ending, with both relationship and choice variations
Please feel free to post or pm me with any questions! If there is anything that would be helpful to writers for this opening post which I have not included, please let me know.
