Latest Assignment

Latest assignment, think back during yor life and make a game out of it.This should be easy for anyone familiar with visual novels.

Visual novels are described as a cross between a dating simulation game and a text based RPG where the player interaction is making choices and "living" a scenario through the eyes of a character given little more than a basic background and a name. Hence, The story element is the sole driver that keeps players on. An example of a visual novel will be Clannad, which has been adapted to an Anime that was reputed to bring people to tears.

A game, or rather, a JRPG managed to combine Visual novel elements with combat. The award winning Persona 3.

Visual novel-esque NPC interaction

Combat, but I'll talk about that another time. Promise

 

That aside, Now for the main assignment. I think I can use a trying period of my life last year as a visual novel base. A teenager who fell out with his best friend and tries his best to piece things back together.

The story will begin with a flash back of previous events where the character's best friend gets a free thinking girlfriend. The character is very zealous and sticks up his nos. This causes their 2 year bond to rift and shatter. This will serve as a tutorial mode.

The rest of the game will follow the character's school life as he tries to reconcile with his best friend.

Well, thats All I have so far. One of my next few posts will be purely Persona 3. I promise.
