Long ago, when the world was still young and humans have just learned how to write,
Legends of mythical beings traveled over the continents.
Mysteries about the existence of Dragons, Griffins, Unicorns, and many other myths were told in folklores and heritages.
Some even has human characteristics such as Centaurs, Lamias, Anubis, and Kinara Kinari.
But there was one legend.
Lost and much of it is forgotten.
For none now lived to remember it.
A legend about humans with wings and humans with skin tougher than steel.
How they prospered and how they vanished without a trace.
This is a story about...
Birth,
Death,
Peace,
War,
And Love
How it all began from the gift of Blue Crystal
Both a blessing and a curse from the Goddess.
And now,
The Legend shall be unfolded by a human girl.
UPDATE 8/10/2015 ----- New buttons: Story Log + 25 Save Slots + other GUI (still incomplete, need to code & make Gallery's GUI)
Game Status:
Hi guys! Chiel, an artist striving to make a Visual Novel, is finally here! This is a solitary project and I'm determined to finish this no matter what!
The Visual Novel will contain an enormous amount of Indonesian Culture, mainly Bali, Papua, and NTT/NTB. A considerable amount of events such as; traditions, dances, and cultures; are true and exist. I won't change it. Maybe I'll add an encyclopedia in this VN later when I'm familiar enough with Novelty. Do have in mind that there is 'Fantasy' in this game. So not everything in it is true
I've just learned how to use Novelty Engine from my friend 3 months ago. Ren'py is difficult for me since I'm blind at doing coding or scripting. I'll be very grateful if anyone can help me with the coding or maybe some link to the tutorials about adding a 'gallery' in Novelty and maybe later in the future when I have more problems.
I'll update every week at Monday, hopefully there are no hindrance for this. I apologize if my English is bad, it's not my native language, but don't worry, my script will be beta-ed by my friends who are quite sparta at correcting english grammar~ For now, I'll focus on the art and assets. My goal with this VN is to introduce Indonesian ancient culture to all of you Well I hope the anime-style-mixed-Indonesian-Batik is alright?
Oh and I'm still not sure about the rating. Will it be an adult work since it has swearing, blood, and death?
