So, VRAINS fandom, I have a surprise in the making! :3c
I’m in the process of creating a visual novel dating simulator, featuring the disaster trio in a high school setting, where the card game isn’t in the focus and only a handful of canon elements have been used.
The game takes place during one year of high school; the first for Yuusaku and Takeru, and the third for Ryouken. You choose to play as either of the three, with each of them having their own unique route. All three have the option during the story to date each other, as well as one more exclusive character each, but it’s possible to play the game without romance at all (no complete escape from the friendships, though, lol).
There are events that overlap between their routes, but they don’t play out the same necessarily, leaving room for new material to discover on replays. Events don’t always play out in the same order, either.
In case it hasn’t been clear, it’s a game for multi-shippers. I wouldn’t recommend it for the ones who might have one or more of the 6 ships presented as their NOTPs, since the options leading up to the ships aren’t always crystal clear.
Also, this will not be a project for profit, and will be available on PC and Mac (hopefully, also on Android, but no promises on that one). Because of some suggestive as well as darker themes, it’ll have a 16+ rating, but proper content warnings will be present at release.
When’s the release, you might ask? Who knows, I rely a lot on public domain assets, but this is still a one person project, meaning I’m alone with the art, script, design, programming and building. With the magnitude of the game’s estimated size, it’ll take time (especially since I’m far from an expert in coding and English isn’t my first language). But at the very least, I hope to release a small demo in a few months.
I hope you’ll enjoy it when it’s finally done! ♥♥♥
See ya in future updates!
