Lucid [NaNo 2014] [Physiological Thriller, Fantasy] [VN]

[AIncubus]

Fair Warning: This game will contain triggering topics such as Parental abuse and extreme self harm.

About: This is my first VN project. I decided to use one of my more shorter stories for my first project. This story is one I’ve been dabbling on for a while, its based/inspired by Alice in Wonderland (So creative wow).
This VN will have little to no romance. If you squint you might see some one-sided, bittersweet romance.

Summary:Alistair has no clue how he came into this world, what happened, and where he is. All he knows is that he has to escape and find out what his story is before time runs out.

Genre: Psychological Thriller, Mystery, Fantasy, Comedy (light), Tragedy.
Characters:

Note: There are a TON of characters. I just haven't designed them/Im focusing on getting the script done right now.


Features:
+ Animations
+ Tons of CGs (Well thats my goal at least.)

The Plan:
Week 1: Script
Week 2: Script / Programing
Week 3: Programing & Sprites
Week 4: Sprites
During this time I will also be working on CGs and Video editing. (Also just clarifying, The spites after programming deal—I am using like stick figures, ill replace the file and such. Don't worry :U)


Progress:
Story + Plot: 99% (Researching a few minor things)
Designs: 60%
Script: 5%
Programming: 0%
Animations: 0%
Sprites: 0%
BGs: 3% (???)
CGS: 0%

Credits:
I am doing most of this myself. My friends K and S (They don't have an account on here; School friends) are proofreading. The music will come from a royalty free site. I’ll be looking into it once I finish the script.

Misc/Extra/Previews:

Questions:
+ What resolution should I use? I work on a really big monitor and I sometimes forget people have average laptops and whoops— Suggestions would be nice!
+ Critiques would be loved at the moment~

I can't believe Im actually going through with this. I really hope I can finish this ; n ; babys first VN

Love your art, and the premise sounds promising! ^_^

Whoops! 'Guest' was me, didn't realize I was logged out.

Maybe somewhere in the ballpark of 1280 x 720.

+ Critiques would be loved at the moment~

Well it sounds like a lot for just one month :0. But maybe that's just me. I like the Alice in Wonderland themes. I'm guessing Alistair is the Alice and Neko is the Cheshire cat. And I agree that the art is very nice.


Good luck on your first VN ^^.

This is an interesting premise, but I have one question. Is there any particular reason Neko isn't just called Cat? The setting doesn't appear to be Japanese.

Ah gosh, thank you so much! It means a lot

Okay thanks! That seems like a decent size

Aha I hope I'll be able to finish it in one month. School and such aren't exactly my best friends this month. Yep! That's correct, and thank you very much! C:

I'm not gonna lie, I kinda cringed a bit when naming the Cheshire Cat "Neko" after giving her such a ridiculous design. Though the ridiculousness does play a part in Alistairs backstory. Otherwise I would have made "Neko" just plain up Cheshire Cat and made it a dude. Trust me, I hate naming things like..whats the word— out of place?? Neko and possibly one other character have really out of place names.
Anyways, I hope I kinda cleared it up! Thank you for the comment C:

Oh, the fact that Neko is female never bothered me. It was just the name. But if there's a reason for it, then that's fine. I just wasn't sure if you were thinking "Gee, let's make this VN more Japanese by naming a character a Japanese thing!"

Maybe Alistair watches too many anime or something . . .
