![]() (Now this post can pertain to many games, not just indie games or visual novels, but a visual novel really brought this idea to light for me. ![]() I can name several characters that I wish I could just give a hug to, because I’m weird like that. The circumstances that have been written for them. Perhaps a character that you think you could really get along with, or one that is too precious to be stuck in the circumstances they have been dealt. If you play video games (or even just read or watch a story), you can likely name at least one character you felt a connection to. Until next week! (Where I hope to have an update on my project) While I am a fan of works with many characters too, its a refreshing difference when you get to spend “more” time with fewer characters. Aya and Rei are the stars of Rei, and there are only two major characters in Aloners. What I like about sonnet009’s works is that they focus on very few characters. Long story short it was quite grand and made a generally very serious story a little goofy every time a character ‘said’ her name). (Random side note: In Aloners you get to name the female protagonist and I named her Awk without really realizing how often her name would be used. I decided to talk about Rei because it was a short visual novel that I really liked, with easy to grab screenshots, but I’ve also played through sonnet009’s other completed work, Aloners, which is considerably longer and really, really good. The visual novel is really quite short, only about 9000 words and has no CG’s, but it was apparently made in three days, so major kudos! It has four endings, all relatively easy to find, and they are all unique enough and pretty awesome. I won’t spoil anything more but I will say that I thoroughly enjoyed this short visual novel. Rei the romancable ghost! (well sort of)… After Risa bails, Aya then finds herself alone, and meets…. Rumor has it the ghost of the student is hanging around the hallways, so like any good story with ghosts, Aya and Risa wander reluctantly into the school at night to try and find it. Aya and her best friend Risa are a little weirded out by the teacher’s lectures on safety.īut the teachers have a good reason, because last year a student died. Rei starts off with 15 year of Aya, who’s just shown up for her first day of high school. ![]() Admittedly I’m not too picky with the games I play, but still. High school, a ghost, and romance! Sounds fun right? Rei is a short little visual novel by sonnet009 that I thought was pretty adorable. My next steps are moving from sketches on paper into my drawing program, and then start introducing sprites and backgrounds! Very slow progress indeed. Though it could also go the way of looking like there was blood dripping from the mask…(I’ve reread Oedipus recently as well, so that’s in my head…) ![]() I’ve been messing with a mask reminiscent of a skull, partly because why not, and partly because that means I don’t have to give Urzak expressions– saving time for me (I’m so lazy).Īlso, I left youtube auto-play on too long the other day and found myself watching a FNAF fan-animation, and I just love this expression on the ghost boy, though I’m thinking it might be silly to have a god look like they are crying. That also means I need to finalize their design. Because that would be super boring otherwise. To spice up the KN a little I figured I’d have the deity make an actual appearance, rather than just talking into Zach’s head. Urzak, the elder god of death, who has a proposition for Zach. Still no backgrounds or anything, but I’m here to introduce a new character– Here’s a rough sketch. Hello! So I haven’t made as much progress as I would have liked on my KN, but I’ve doubled the script size and am pretty pleased with where it is going, as the writing portion is almost done! I hope to make even more progress here soon. ![]()
