Welcome! Since I can't sleep, I thought might as well let others know about my project.
This is, as the title says, a Visual Novel I am working on, titled Royal Garden Army.
How many people are working on it?
Currently two, me and a proof- and beta reader.
What's it about?
A human-like race called Flowers are fighting in a post-apocalyptic world against machines that look like bugs. The game can be divided into two sections- the slice of life section, in which the Flowers relax together, and the battle section, in which I will try to implement a very simple RPG battle mechanic into Renpy.
How much did you work on it?
I barely even scratched the surface, i've got like, 1% of the sprites done (it's gonna be a huge cast of characters) and, as you can see, one or two CGs. I also just started writing, and got the first chapter all planned out.
What is there yet to do for Chapter 1?
It will be a mixture of writing and slowly working my way up with the talking sprites, specially since some characters are very expressive (I'm looking at you, Mary). Maybe there will be a few choices to make, but I'm not entirely sure if I want this to be a kinetic novel or not.
The first chapter focuses on a Slice of Life section, so you have the chance to get to know the cast.
Possible ideas for the far future:
a) I'd love for this game to be fully voice acted. But first I have to finish it.
b) I want to celebrate when the first chapter releases with a giveaway of an acrylic keychain of a flower soldier of your choice. But that is also still very far away.
Can't wait to keep working on it!
