White Days [GxB] [Romance, Angst, Slice of Life] - HIATUS

#1 Post by whitenenesha »

"As a girl whom never wanted to look into future meet a boy whom wanted to get out from his past,
a story unfolds within the white rooms."

Synopsis

Kihara Nakayama is a young girl with terminal illness. She has been living like a caged bird; closed, isolated and never touches outside world much. Kihara highly hopes that her sickness will meet its cure as days, months and finally years left her. However, she began to despise her condition as time passes; she hates herself for being a burden for her own family – what she only wish is dying somewhere that anyone will not care, as long as it is not on her hospital bed all alone.

One day, she managed to escape from hospital. However, fate said that she only to be placed on the same state but in a different hospital. There, she encountered with Yukito Ryokuya, the one who found her collapsed in front of his father’s hospital.

Will her destiny remain the same: dying in cold, hospital room, alone?

This VN is inspired by my obsession of hospital and diseases. You'll play as Kihara and venture her new life in new hospital, interacting with others from hospital, and also, Yukito's past. (And maybe hints of other characters' selves)

I think I will not make any menu on this story
This KN currently has:
Statistics:

The game contains 169 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 1,840 words,
for an average of 10.9 words per screen.
The game contains 0 menus.
Example from my background tries (editing a photo):

This is my first attempt for making a VN, I have no friend around that I can ask for help, and I never have any experience on Ren’Py before so I struggling completely to learn about script-making and to study some terminology (I am quite slow to understand a thing!). What I can afford to complete myself is the storyline and sprites. I didn't know where to start, but the story is still in progress.

I really, really, appreciate and need your help on anything necessary!

Thanks and I hope for your feedbacks! ^^

I'm actually kind of interested in the story for this project. Hope it goes well for you. There are a few errors in your sentence wording, but it's not too bad. Will Kihara's illness be named in the game or is it just general health problems?

I have a debilitating illness, if you'd like to interview me to find out what it's like I wouldn't mind. It's not fatal and I don't spend any time in the hospital, but I know what it's like to wake up and not know if you can get out of bed that day.

English is not my first language, my bad ^^; thanks for your attention. About Kihara illness, I'll stick with 'Cardiomyopathy' word for its description.

@^
monochrome?
That's maybe. Because I tend to like monochrome colors (or only few colors coloring), and because the story is mostly about "white and black in hospital"

Slow progressing is slow, I'm really a slow writer. And since there's no scanner nearby, I can't upload the final character sketch yet :<
