Your Death - Your Choice
A loud bang was the last thing Hailey heard. She had never seen her attacker bring out a gun, nor anticipated what would follow. Suddenly, she finds herself standing in a landscape of softly flowing darkness. In her hands she holds a badge she doesn't recognize. It's surprisingly heavy, and only seems to get heavier and heavier. From out of the darkness, three men emerges, each of them handsome and terrifying in their own way. They tell her that by giving one of them her badge she'll gain entry into the afterlife they represent. Many questions are circulating in her head yet the choice has to be quick, because if she hesitates for too long she might get stuck here, in limbo.
About the project
YDYC is a short VN about finding out what's most important to you. Now that Nanoreno is over, me and a friend felt that we'd like to make another short VN. Maybe not over a month, but 2-3 months. I'll write and he'll program. What we can't do is art and music. Therefore, if the premise sounds interesting and your style suits the project, we'd be interested in having you on board. (A list of what we need is at the bottom)
Right now I have a synopsis written down, but I have not begun working on the final text. I'll start on that as soon as I know we have a team.
Gameplay
There are three guides to the afterlife, each with a different option for you. You can ask them questions, and depending on what you ask, more options will open up.(sometimes with the character you are talking to and sometimes with the other characters). The guides are trying to promote their way of afterlife while at the same time pointing out the flaws of their competitors. Your task is to find out what you really want. By asking the right questions you can improve the choices presented before you, or make sure that you don't have to enter the afterlife alone. Keep in mind though, that you only have a set amount of questions that you have the time to ask.
Characters
(Only descriptions since, obviously, we don't have an artist as of yet)
Hailey Sterling:
A 19 year old girl who falls victim to an armed robbery. Now she has to make the most important choice of her life (or death?). Time is running out but her thoughts are being clouded by her death, which is vividly clear in her memories.
Janus:
His only colours appears to be black and white. He is split in the middle and half of him looks angry and terrifying, while his other half looks gentle and serene. He'll offer you the choice to come back and haunt the world as a ghost.
Palin:
He looks soft and full of life, with large oversized clothes that flow in an unseen wind. In his eyes is a spark of excitement that never dies.
He'll offer you the chance to be reincarnated.
Valer:
He is tall and muscular with a hard, scrutinizing gaze. Few qualifies for the afterlife he represents. Somehow you're one of them.
He'll offer you passage into the spirit world, where every sensory stimuli of your desire can be met.
What we need:
Backgrounds: We only need one simple BG depicting the darkness of limbo, with 3 variations where you can glimpse into the afterlives.
CG's: Here is a bigger demand. We'll need about 9-12 of them at least, with some variations. I'm not completely sure at the moment. We could probably use more but they'll not be necessary.
Contact: If you are willing to work with us we can communicate by either email or skype. Both ways are fine by us.
If there are any questions feel free to ask them, and if you are interested, leave a comment in this thread or send me a message.
