I am working on a personal project, alongside my main, about a girl who braves the unknown with the help of four heroes / magical boys. Their true identities will not be revealed to you (I will still show you the romanceable boys though), giving you the potential to guess a guy wrong. Mind you, since this is a personal project, release dates will be whenever it's ready to be released since my top priority lies in another project. But I'm keeping on to this idea cuz I like it! <3 Here's a quick summary of it.
Title: The Aces
Type: Visual Novel GxB / RPG
Genre: Fantasy / Romance / Horror
Summary:
Characters:In the remaining four Regions of the world, four men called Aces fight to defend the inhabitants from monsters that attack from the Dead Lands, an area of destruction that continuously threatens to engulf the rest of the world. How the Dead Lands came to be is shrouded in mystery as is the beginnings and the identities of the Aces. That is until one girl decided to cross the Dead Lands without any protection to reach her sick mother in the neighboring Region. What she brings as well is a future of hope and the answers the world desired to forget.
Elias Hunson (renameable) - a daring woman with a good heart. She cares a lot about her sick mother and will do whatever to keep her healthy and alive. (Passionate, friendly but reckless.)
Ava Hunson - mother of Elias. She's stricken with a disease, called the Touch of End, that would take her body and soul to the Dead Lands when she passes away. (Sweet, loving but emotional.)
Gillian Morez - Elias' friend from her previous place of work. She's a happy girl who tries to keep in touch with people to hear "the latest news." (Energetic, fun but nosy)
Amelia Cortell - new friend of Elias who helps her adjust to the new Region, later assists in taking care of Ava. She's studying to be a psychologist so that she could help the Touched. (Friendly, cheerful but dramatic.)

Ace of Clubs - Intelligent, calm but unpredictable, Clubs is the brains of the group and the master of operations. He handles much of what regulates the Region, alongside the government stationed in the northern Region of Nord. He is also the one who holds up the barriers that protect the Regions from the Dead Lands.
Ace of Hearts - Playful, social but a flirt, Hearts is the leader of the group and is the public face of the Aces. He is often seen on television and, due to his frequent appearance, even has his own fanclub. He is responsible for emergencies and anything that the other Aces cannot hold up on their own.
Ace of Diamonds - Friendly, cheerful but emotional, Diamonds is the youngest and fastest in the group. What Diamonds does is regulate the Distributions for each Region and also deliver materials between Regions. He also regulates some of the interregional routes alongside Spades.
Ace of Spades - Strong, protective but aggressive, Spades is the strength and the fist of the Aces. He handles much of the repairs outside of each Region and, with Diamonds, regulates some of the routes. What he is often called for though is the elimination of monsters that crawl in from the Dead Lands.

Any questions or comments are appreciated. Just tell me what you think! I'll be looking for a programmer in the future but, currently, it's not that prevalent. Just throwing that out there. Oh and if anyone wants to see a full design of anyone up there, when I get lots of images drawn, I don't mind. Just give me a holler and I'll get back to it eventually.
