Update!
I know it has been a while since our last one but the team is continuously working on this project. <3
Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances progress has been slowed down but is thankfully, still ongoing just a bit slow.
Nonetheless, thought I'd share this and if possible, feedback would be much appreciated ^^.
This is a dialogue excerpt for the VN. It covers some topics I am wary of mentioning such as 'rape' and 'homosexuality', topics that I have never touched in writing. I would just like to check with you, the possible future players of this VN whether or not it is offensive or not handled sensibly. If so, please let me know via PM or on here. Either way is welcomed
and all help.. well helps.
So here it is!
Emma:
”Pirates… you can’t seriously expect me to investigate a ship full of pirates!"
”I have no background experience to offer in the field, and yet you expect me; a girl of my age to just wander on board a ship of pirates?!”
Lord Cyrus:
”And your point is?”
Emma:
”You're practically sending me out on this errand, with absolute risk conditions."
"I don't stand a chance against a bunch of bigger, badder, fighting-experienced men!”
Lord Cyrus:
"...?"
Emma:
”Do I have to spell it out for you?"
"I’m smaller in size, outnumbered and I’m a female!"
"I could get kidnapped, sold to the slave market, killed or worse, raped!”
Lord Cyrus:
”You obviously don’t believe in equality.”
”It’d be the same if I, a male investigated the ship and got caught."
"I’d be smaller in size compared to them, outnumbered-“
Emma:
”And in regards to rape?”
Lord Cyrus:
”You obviously haven’t heard of homosexuality…”
Lady Agatha:
”Oh, stop this Cyrus! That is no way to treat a guest."
Lord Cyrus:
"Steady Agatha, not good for your high blood pressure."
Emma:
"Well, I like you Lady Agatha... despite the rumours."
Lady Agatha:
"Like? Rumours?"
Emma:
"Oh 'like' in a completely non-homosexual manner that is.. and well, don't mind me about the rumours mention."
Lord Cyrus:
"Hmm either way, the situation remains the same."
"I am the smug aristocrat, hiring your detective services."
"And last I heard, I am the ONLY one willing to employ you."
"So, what's it going to be little Ms. Weal?"
And that's not all for updates, actually!
We have a full set of Agatha sprites completed so far.
Here's one just for show:
And again, many thanks to the team for their ongoing support in making this VN possible. <3
