Story
Though she is still young, Janalea successfully leads a fantasy land called Rhenvast with her mother, the queen, her two loyal generals Alvor and Yamira, and her follower Raison at her side. She is very interested in looking for other worlds like her own but doubts there ever is. One day, she invites her dear friends, two regular commoners named Elrita and Vivian, and two of the last surviving eleven human-dragons Shairu and Gin for her birthday celebration. Janalea sneaks out of the castle to rest in her secret forest glade that night. There, she finds a strange object that strangely looks like the handle of a sword and the portal it activates but decides to go through the portal another day. This might've been the best choice she has ever made, as she tragically finds out on her birthday. Janalea witnesses her mother get killed by her own two generals and they pin the horrible crime on her, causing her to lose her role as princess. Now considered a criminal by everyone, including her own follower and friends, Janalea runs away and finally goes through the portal, bringing only that sword-like object with her. The world she discovers on the other side is our world. While Janalea is in hiding, she begins to think of how she'll be able to prove she's innocent to her people. The only choice she has is to kill her generals, the ones who betrayed her, and decides to do so. First Janalea must let her friends find out on their own that she wasn't the one that killed her mother and a way to reunite with her. Only then she'll team up with them to get her revenge.
...Eh, the story came out more badly than I expected. But I can't think up of anything better so I'm still going to roll with it. XD
Characters
There's six main characters; the princess, her follower and her four friends. The villains are Janalea's generals, of course. Btw, in case you're wondering if the character Vivian is a girl...
Vivian is a boy, and a trap.
*gets shot*Gameplay
This is going to be kind of a movie-style game, split into about four parts in-game. I'll make two endings for it, both Good endings (the first is happy while the second is sad). Most of the game is kinetic, but not all of it is. During each fight (there's plenty!), the player can choose at several menus of how they want the fight to go and end up as they like, which means the fights are brief branches but they recombine. That's my lame imitation of a battle system.
Another thing that I'm thinking of adding is that the player can choose which of Janalea's friends to find first in any order... once I'm not so lazy. XDI've started writing the script recently, and I'm up to 1350 words as of now. I'll be the one that will do the character art. Since I'm thinking that I won't be able to finish this game all on my own, I might post a recruitment thread for a couple of background artists, some voice actors, etc. If enough people is interested, I'll post a demo. The demo will be one of my "branching battles", and will feature Raison fighting against Alvor in some random city. There'll be plenty of fighting action.
...And that is all.
