Excellent! :)
We'll recruit some people to help with this project, but for starters let's decide the project boundaries first. Those will be the game concept, characters, outline and basic story tree (threads and branches).
Game concept :
1. Theme
What kind of story element(s) that will become the major content of this game? Will it be a comedy, drama, romance, fantasy, or other elements? We'll also decide the sub elements which gives more distinction to our game. For example, if it is a comedy we could put a childishly violent heroine, or a comedic love triangle, or family life comedy.
2. Setting
- In what universe is our story taking place? Is it in a fictional world? Real world? Parallel world?
- What's the time period? is it in the present modern day? past/future? what about the season?
- Where do scenes take place? is it at supermarket? bookstore? apartment? somewhere outdoor?
3. Plot
- Is it an episodic story (more like short slice of life drama)? or is it a long story? How long should it be?
- Is it a nakige? Utsuge? Otomege? Does it have sexual content?
- Is it a kinetic novel with single ending, or a VN with multiple ending?
- If it's a VN with multiple ending, what kind of endings will there be?
That's all for now, I'll add later. Shall we discuss about them here, or should we find other place to talk? it's a little cramped here, but I don't really mind though. If you can use irc, I already prepared a room there that we can use to chat.
