So why not just jump straight into the deep end?
I am Kit Of Dreams, and I have been fascinated by visual novels for awhile now. I have experience with art and writing, but I have very limited experience with Ren'Py outside of asset creation. I have never finished a Ren'Py project, and I'm making this blog to document what will hopefully be my first two novels, because I decided to sign up for both the Underwater and Spooktober jams at the same time. I'm unsure if I'm over committing by doing two together when I've never completed one, but I'm excited to see whether I sink or swim my diving into a project with an actual deadline. I hope to share the things I learn along the way, be they wins or fails, and introduce part of my tiny inner world to anyone who's interested. To start, I'd like to introduce the two stories I selected for this, both might wind up being kinetic novels, but we'll see. One will for sure, they other I haven't fully decided on. The first title is "Pure Saline", and is the one I'll be starting with since the underwater Jam opens in just a few days. Pure Saline is a deep ocean lab horror story. The story takes primarily in the underwater facility, where the people within are almost entirely cut off from communicating with the surface world for security, a decision that may compromise the security of their mission entirely. The second title is "The Glade", and will follow the progress of Diya, an excited young fire lookout that is fresh out of training as she gets assigned to her first lookout tower. The story will be a blend of inner dialog, diary entries, and her spotty connection with the outside world. While I intend for this to be a bit of a slow burn (within reason of course), I'm actually pretty excited to start this one, even if it will be the simpler of the two.
