i'm working on this visual novel called 20MB13 (pronounced "zombie"), and it's a gift for my friends who graduated with me.. hohoho. it's nothing too serious....................... (but really, it is). it'll definitely be put up here when it's finished for you guys to play, and i want it to be FREEEEEEEE~
i'm writing the story and drawing/coloring all the art, but i'd appreciate feedback
all the drawing will be done on photoshop CS6 (and i might use FireAlpaca? just to test it out, we'll see....), because i'm still waiting for painttoolSAI to be available for macs. sobsob.
btw, i am no way at all a super expert with ren'py, and all i've been doing so far is looking up tutorials here on lemmasoft (and they have been super duper helpful, thanks guys). so i'll probably need help with coding and programming and stuff.... >____>
i'm also using a lot of placeholders from google right now, so if you see something you recognize in one of my screenshots, it's because placeholder.
Emery is a freshmen in college who's a little homesick. She's not used to living in cold weather, seeing nothing but flat lands in all directions, and living away from her family and friends. It's only been three months since she's started school, and though she's made new friends and has had her fun, she can't deny that she misses home.
One fall morning, Emery wakes to find herself amidst chaos as students and faculty scramble out on to the streets; reports of an unknown infection that causes pre-decomposition, aggression, and the recently deceased to come back to life is all over the news and radio stations. Now more than ever, Emery has to fight for her life to survive....
(it's really more about relationship-building though.......)

Just a sketch for now. >____>
E M E R Y
The Main Character
She's friendly and bubbly, but can be stubborn. She's easily frustrated, but won't give up until the job is done. Emery has been watching AMC's the Walking Dead, has experience shooting rifles, and is an amateur judoka.
E T H A N
Emery's Boyfriend
They're high school sweethearts, but he goes to college in a different state. He's talkative and has a vast knowledge of random things. He's rather analytical in his methods, and is a great problem solver. Evan is loyal, friendly, and very opinionated.
G R A C E L Y N N
Emery's High School Friend
Calm and collected but headstrong, Gracelynn is a fierce fighter being a black belt in karate. She is sweet, passionate, and delicate both in and out, but she definitely knows how to put up a tough exterior when the situation demands it. She's been surviving with Ron as a partner before regrouping with Emery and Evan.
R O N
Emery's College Friend
Ron is level-headed, responsible, and possesses leadership skill. He's quick on his feet, and, being the eldest of the group, does what's necessary to keep everyone alive. He has many stories and experiences to share. He's been surviving with Gracelynn before regrouping with Emery and Evan.
J A Y D E N
Another young survivor
Jayden makes quite an effective reasoner. He can be sassy and sarcastic, but he always asks relevant questions and is observant and analytical. He likes to keep tabs on people, keeping up with the latest gossip/news. He's also an Eagle scout.
S U N A K O
Jayden was traveling with her before he joined Emery's group. Sunako enjoys both creepy and cute things. She is bubbly, polite, and always searching for adventure.
