The Golem's Wake [Fantasy][Elves][Adventure][No-Romance]
Working title.
In short, Kira is an elven girl from the rather dull town of Pinelark. Magic has been going out of vogue as science takes its place in daily life, and Kira's rather upset about the whole affair. She'd rather be a witch when she grows up, instead of a merchant or something practical like her father encourages her to do. One day, she's asked to retrieve a strange pendant from the nearby woods. But, as storytelling would have it, Kira finds a lot more than just trees...
This game, whatever it ends up being called, is a high-fantasy VN, with no romance or extra trappings like that. Our primary influences are "Howl's Moving Castle" as well as "Peter Pan" - the book versions, in both cases. I'll try to remember to keep this post updated as we go along.
Current Team:
Raithfyre - Writing, Editing
Auric - Writing, Editing
Faust - Editing
Marimo - Character Art
Sai - Background Art
Mondonater - Music
Syncopika - Music
DreadLindwyrm - Programming
Hirei - UI Design
Voice actors to be announced soon...
Check out some of the concept art here, too.

I'm so glad someone recognizes the book versions of both of these---particularly Howl's Moving Castle. The Miyazaki film is great in its own way, but it's just not the Diana Wynne Jones book.Raithfyre wrote: Our primary influences are "Howl's Moving Castle" as well as "Peter Pan" - the book versions, in both cases.
And this is to be a good old adventure story with no silly romances? Well, I'm sold. I'll be watching your progress.

Oh yes, I'm glad you agree. Both versions are wonderful, but the book's just much better in my opinion.Mad Harlequin wrote: The Miyazaki film is great in its own way, but it's just not the Diana Wynne Jones book.
Anyway, thanks for the support, everyone!

Oh man, there are no words for how excited I am about this in general.
Do I like elves? You bet I do.
Do I like that beautiful detailed art that brings tears to my eyes and my knees to the floor? YES. YES INDEED.
Do I like fantasy and this concept in general? Do I even need to answer this question? It's a yes.
So, yeah. Super excited, best of luck and can't wait for this! Even if there is no romance I am going to adventure the heck out of this game and savor it.
*runs away to go drool at the art some more*
