Departure

#1 Post by M12 »

The protagonist shared his childhood with a tomboy named Catori. In a twist of fate, Catori's life came to an abrupt end. Her friend must learn to accept her departure.

Departure will be a simple, but hopefully sweet VN. Vatina is the artist. Ameet is the composer.

As a prequel, we've released a few audio drama episodes:

Scene 2: http://vjutsu.com/?p=644

Mirielle voiced Catori, while Pokop voiced the protagonist. I appreciate their performance. Hopefully you will, too. Please look forward to more episodes. We plan to release two more clips. There's more Departure content here (such as 3komas):

Wonderful!

I've listened to the drama, and I'd must admit they sound really decent - quite a proffesional work, especially with voice acting. Just a little hint - try to find better samples for some of the sound effects, for example sounds of walking could be a bit nicer. Generallyy, there's nothing wrong with them but try to be a little bit perfect, it won't hurt :) . There's a lot of good source pages with pro sound fx, so you shouldn't have a problem finding better ones.

I also like the overall idea of the story and usage of such symbolic elements, such as moths as a symbol of death and reincarnation. The art is also neat, it's a quite original view to see everything in sepia - it gives the novel a more melancholic and reminescent feel. I wish you good luck with it and hopefully I'll be able to see this finished! :)

It's nice to see, that we have quite a lot of new VN's coming in short time :)

I love that you're making audio dramas for your VNs as well. I've been adding so many sound effects to my game that it's basically turning into a radioplay without voices. >_> So I maybe I should get voices.

Anyway! Think the radioplays are excellent and a fantastic idea to bring the story to life. I don't want Catori to ... leave. ;_;
