Thanks for making this trailer, some1.

And I hope we can release Time's Tear very soon.

[Ignosco]

The 12th (or 13th) ATP game is coming ... looks like it will be quite different from any of your previous VN's.

[monele]

Aah, there it is ^.^. So... soon, eh? ^_^. I'm curious

[DaFool]

Who is some1?

O3 is 10th, Embraced by Green is 11th, White Nights is 12th, so this will be 13th?

(Takes notes to self: megashare is awfully slow in your area)

looks like it will be quite different from any of your previous VN's.

At least for me it's a first in this genre. Also in the style of working on it, I estimated a bit longer - but the team was really great, so here we are.

Aah, there it is ^.^. So... soon, eh?

Ah yes, this is indeed the game I mentioned in that PM to you some time ago. Glad you remembered!

Who is some1?

some1 is the artist for the project. I'm sure he/she will reveal him/herself shortly.

so this will be 13th?

I don't really know what to count - I would say like Ignosco, that it's the 12th, since White Nights wasn't original, but in the end, it's just numbers.

some1's style is very familiar

How long was this in development (i.e. when did you start?) I know you're very good at keeping projects under wraps, but ... dang

[mikey]

some1's style is very familiar

I should think so.

How long was this in development (i.e. when did you start?)

We started in March (concept), the real work began in April (writing). Graphics started in May, in parallel with writing - a lot has changed, the one influencing the other. June & July = graphics & text. July was also the OST. August the engine (our simple menu). So about 6 months. The game has around 22.000 words, so it will last around an hour. Size, well... packed 120 MB.

Alas, I get 'invalid file ID'...

mikey: reveal myself? But I don't wanna

You could have a trademark similar to *poof* (goes back to work)

But in any case, the loli style refined and perfected... I can only think of one person responsible for that.

[PyTom]

I have to say, I played this game yesterday and really enjoyed it. I don't want to spoil it too much, but I actually found it clever, and after a while the characters drew me in to the point where I genuinely wanted to see what would happen to them.

[Guest]

I can only think of one guy... particularly someone from Iloilo City... or I could be wrong.

One question (if my guess is correct) did you also composed the BG music (Since I'll be out of commision for a while, I'll use this time and fiddle with Anvil Studio (*SIGH* if only there is a more friendly tutorial on how to use this programs... and some sound fonts will be nice)...

"POOF" (Dissapears... for now)

[some1]

Nope: renesis did all the music including the one I used here. I'm not good enough to get that kind of depth in my midi compositions.

[DaFool]

I think to get that kind of depth you would need really professional programs / tools. Although picking good soundfonts is a start.

And a converted midi will never feel as emotional as a recorded live performance.
