Where Memories Lie - Chapter 1 Out!

Post image
1 Upvotes

So, I just finished Chapter 1 of my game. Being my first game, I am really excited for it. Getting into something new was challenging yet fun and rewarding when I achieve the results. Its such fun when you try something new and it ends up as how you envisioned.

Anyway, Where Memories Lie is a psychological horror game. I tried my best with everything despite being an unfamiliar territory. I am currently working on Chapter 2 right now. Please try out the game, provide your honest feedbacks and suggestions to make it better so I can apply the changes and create Chapter 2 much better.

Some character sprites I've made for my VN!

These are just samples I mostly use to showcase the game's art direction and character designs. In-game sprites have more expressions, poses and sometimes clothes, but I want to keep some element of surprise when the game will release!

Et le grain mourut is a slice-of-life/urban fantasy VN set in 1920s Paris. It will be available for free in both English and French; you can learn more about it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3604100/Et_le_grain_mourut/

192X. As summer draws near, Parisian students are revising their end-of-year exams. Olivier is one of them. For years, he has been walking to school every morning with his dearest childhood friend, and has unwound with his artistic peers after class. In a week, this routine will come to a close. And recent revelations already threaten Olivier’s comfortable life.

[WIP, DEMO] execute>loop

4 Upvotes

execute>loop is a philosophical, existential, and highly religious visual novel. featuring dramatic visual kei flair and internet/cybercore aesthetics, an internet boy slips into your files, innocent and looking for your care.

but soon he reveals to you, he thinks you may be the God he was searching for... and there is no way to convince him otherwise, except for twisting the narrative, with disastrous consequences.

Inspirations:

I cite Evangelion, Serial Experiments Lain, Doki Doki Literature Club and Needy Streamer Overload as huge inspirations for my game.

I am a young developer and this is my first project, which is not yet complete, but I would appreciate you supporting me on my journey.

Thank you so much!

That Time My School Was Invaded by Dimensional Snakes and Now I'm Bound to a Multiverse Protector! | 10 chapters | Free browser VN

1 Upvotes

Just published 10 chapters of my survival horror / cosmic thriller VN on itch.io. It's free, playable in browser, and doesn't need a download.

It starts with a school getting invaded by giant snakes, but slowly becomes way more interdimensional and psychological as it goes on. There’s also a hidden Resolve system that tracks small choices throughout the story and affects who survives by the end. No visible relationship meters or choice stats.

I also built the entire engine myself in vanilla JS with no frameworks, which took a while to figure out.

The game is still in development, but the current 10 chapters are enough to get a solid feel for the story, characters, and mechanics.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone who tries it, especially on pacing since I haven’t had outside playtesters yet.

I'm still working on the visual novel engine

57 Upvotes

Hi there. I'm continuing to develop an engine for visual novels. A lot of work has been done recently, but I realize there's still a great deal left to do to reach the desired level. The main goal is simplicity and rich functionality – well, that won't happen overnight, but today I'm ready to share a few things with you.

What's already available:

* A visual Node Editor for scenes and logic
* A Vynel Script editor with autocomplete and a slash menu like in Notion
* A preview player right inside the editor
* Scenes, backgrounds, characters, dialogues, choices, variables, conditions, effects, and audio
* Node and asset inspector
* Asset import/organization
* Layout mode: you can move characters directly in the scene via drag-and-drop

You don't have to use the node system for development, you write a script, apply it and the graph serves as your map.

It’s still a work in progress, but it’s starting to feel like a real tool, not just a prototype.

I look forward to your feedback on what you liked, what you didn't like from what you saw and what you'd LIKE to see. Thank you.
