Hey there!Mana here, entering NaNoReno20 for the first time with Studio Crylight's first official VN project <3
"Error Kinetica" is planned to be a short, passionate 30-min work with an emphasis on emotions and aesthetics.
This VN is heavily inspired by both Syrmor's VR heart-to-heart videos (he's a Youtuber, check some of his stuff out!) as well as my own personal experiences online, between roleplaying and trusting online friends and so on. I wanted to see if I could crystallize that sense of "online melancholy" into something simple, but also something I could focus everything into over a month, get others onboard easily, make as aesthetic and presentable as humanly possible.
This'll be my first proper project as a VN dev too! Right now I'm approaching this whole thing with my prior experience as a videographer/writer, and thus far, I'm having the time of my life. Like, seriously. This is literally so fun? Like?
Overall, our team's been hard at work on this since the start of March, and honestly, I'm just in love with so much of what they've done for this, like? The GUI? The top-tier art? The music? Been keeping this more or less secret for as long as possible, since I wanted to wait until some of our core presentable elements - Logo, Key Visual, Theme Music - were completed first. And now that that's all done...
There's no turning back now.
The time is finally coming to unleash our cutesy little project upon the world! WAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
...
Although. I confess, I do wonder if we'll be able to make the deadline on the 14th? I myself briefly fell ill during the NaNo period (as a result, I'm eternally grateful for the extension!), so right now I'm hard at work in gathering together everyone's respective assets and bringing them into our VN.
Hopefully we'll have - at minimum - a demo to show you guys by tomorrow!
Having kept sharing all this to the very last day, I'm both nervous and excited to see what people finally think of Error Kinetica!
And naturally, I'll look forward to trying out everyone else's entries as well
Farewell for now!
Mana out.
