What I Learned From NaNoReno 2015 (Part 1)

It’s super hard to find good sound effects for a growling stomach. I was on all the free SFX sites and everything stomach-related just sounded gross and gassy instead of hungry. Eventually, I just ended up using a sound effect of some guy trying to imitate a lion... Close enough!

The Blind Griffin has been released!

It’s the roaring 20’s. Alcohol-loving Americans are chafing underneath the restrictions of Prohibition, but speakeasies have thankfully risen to fill the void with ill-begotten booze. The Blind Griffin is one such speakeasy in San Francisco, California, but it’s about to go out of business...because its employees are a den of magicians who are more concerned with their magical studies and experiments than moonshine! Desperate not to lose the building that has become their haven, they hire the first streetsmart guttersnipe they find with some experience to help turn things around, but could she perhaps turn out to be the strongest magician of them all?

This game has 10 endings and 6 CGs. All writing/programming was done by me, Lorelei. The art was a joint effort between Auro-Cyanide and Rinslettuce. Noyemi K was our music composer.

The game contains 2,845 dialogue blocks, containing 30,769 words and 162,469 characters, for an average of 10.8 words and 57 characters per block. The game contains 12 menus, 237 images, and 64 screens.

For more information about the game and to download, please see the official website. The game is free to download but if you'd like to leave us a tip, we'd really appreciate it! The OST will be up for digital download/sale at a later date. The LSF thread is here if you’d like to leave us some more detailed comments. We highly encourage all kinds of feedback, liveblogging, LPs, etc. Enjoy!

Get The Game Here!

((Rated PG-13 For Sexual Themes and Foul Language)) It’s your lucky day! You won a special lottery! In the mail, you get the deed to a large estate in a place you’ve never heard of. You find yourself being driven there in a luxury car, feeling like a billion dollars. As you arrive, you meet your maid, whom you get to name. She apparently the best Maid in the area and the fact that she chose you to be her master/mistress should honor you. The first day goes almost like a dream: your maid prepares amazing food, cleans the house, preps your bath, and even flirts with you a bit! Lucky you! The second day, however, ends up showing you the true nature of the world you now reside in. You are visited by a noble woman and, almost out of the blue, her maid and yours start FIGHTING! You are told that the Maids are the true power of the Nobles and that the Maids are not only trained as servants, but also as Soldiers and Guardians. By moving into the mansion, you signed yourself to represent your maid in the never-ending Maid Games. The battle between the maids ends in a draw and the noblewoman gives you one week to train your maid up to par. If she loses, you lose the maid AND your fortune! However, she can't just train the entire week! She STILL has to perform her duties as a maid and keep the house clean and keep you fed! If she doesn't, then she will be taken away and replaced! Will you be able to keep your newly obtained rich life and your maid?!FEATURES:-Nameable Main Character--Nameable Maid--Male and Female MC options--Full Voice Acting!--Original Art/GUI--4 Endings! (One Best, One Happy, Two Sad)-

“So you must be the new noble. Interesting. I never thought a middle class rat would make their way into our society.”

Meet your Maid!

What do you plan to name her?

[starlightmelodies]

So I finished up the prologue, and I'm on Hawk's route now. I don't think this'll be a very long game, since I'm kinda behind. But I don't want to rush it either. Hopefully i can finish hawk's route in a couple of days. Also, the prologue really just has one choice being that I have to kinda speed things up. Each route will probably not have too many choices either maybe 3 tops? depending... 

Hopefully, I can finish this by the end of the month, but it might be a little late too. since i gotta work usually 4 days a week and sometimes im too tired from work and i gotta go to bed early so i loose a few days. But, no matter what I will finish this game!

(Not to mention i need to relearn renpy, and im kinda rusty on photoshop too >_< )

Thrift Store Tales

So, I took awhile to make this post because I spent this last week not sure if I even wanted to go with this, or another story, or just opt out completely. I started writing some but wasnt happy with it at all! I found it to be boring. So today I rewrote it from the start, and found myself enjoying it more. I cut out a lot from the begining as thers no need for so much detail. Unfortunaley this puts me a week behind >_< but ill catch up! I'll try to finish the rough draft in a week. 

Also, I realized that I never talked about the game at all that I wanted to work on for nanoreno2015! Anyway, it's called Thrift Store Tales (because if this does well i might wanna cont. it with other short vn stories) it's about a girl who starts working a thrift store only to find out the items take human form at night time! 

I wanted to make an otome game, but I think this one might be kinda light on the romance. focusing more on character interactions and such. I'm not sure, I'll see as I write it lol.

Not including the main char. There's 3 more (possible love interests?) 

PJ - the cute sleepy pair of pajamas. He's quiet and kinda shy. very sleepy! He grows attatched to the MC very quickly. Likes to snuggle.

Hawk - the kinda nerdy/kinda nervous skateboard! He hates the idea of being ridden, quite fearful! So he's a little nervous of that. He's much more interested in comic books, and wish he was one instead of a skateboard.

Cam - the camera who wants to be a painter! He was once owned by an art student, and loved watching her paint. since they he had always wished he could paint instead of take pictures. 

Anyway, that's all I have so far, sorry it's not much. I talked to my friend about doing the art and she was cool with it. so maybe i can finish the roughdraft before she comes up here next week so i can talk to her about it more. I'll be doing the writing and programing. Hopefully my friend can do the art. and the rest will just be common licence/free to use stuff (like for music and SFX). Wish me luck! ~
