Characters

Yamakazi Kusanagi



Kusanagi is a lazy ass pervert with a kind heart even if he dreams to
have his own harem of girls at his feet. If someone is in trouble he
will help that person no mater what even if it's a stranger and
especially if it's a close friend or family. He also practiced jujustu
(an old type of martial arts) and kendo since five along with his
childhood friend Kogara Sachi but stopped when after losing his temper
and broken the arm of a bully. Aside from his harem that will never
happen, he wants nothing more then to be a NEET/Hikikomori but sadly
because of Sachi that always wakes him up and drags him to school he
can't. He is smart and witty when it counts and knows how to keep his
grounds in a fight be it kendo/swords or fist fight.

Kogara Sachi



Sachi is Kusanagi's childhood friend since she was five. Kusanagi saved
her from a pack of stray dogs that she believed to be wolves. As thank
you for that she helps him with everything from waking up to making
breakfast and lunch for him to helping him study. They both started
martial arts and kendo at same age which is where they've first met and
was more of a rivalry between them than friendship. Their friendship
started when Kusanagi saved her.

Alvaerele Ikeshia



Ikeshia the elven princess of Alfheim, after the death of her brother
she has been declared the next heir to the throne by her father. She is
very cold and trusts no one else other then her father and her maid Elisven.

Elisven



Elisven is a maid at the elven palace and Princess Ikeshia's personal
and most trusted maid despite being a very big naive klutz.
Due to her more darker tone of her skin she has always
be seen as a spy of the dark elves and thus always has been bullied and
persecuted while growing up. Even now after many years in service of the
Princess she often gets threatened and sometimes beaten by people who
still think she's only a spy. She is loyal to no one other then the
Princess as thanks for seeing her for what she really is and not judging her by appearance.

OK! so to prove im not your average one time advertizing poster aka your average advertizing spambot im going to tell you a little story of how this project came to me.

placed my life story about how i came up with the idea and the course that lead me to making this in spoiler in case some of you are not interested in it and just want to hear what the vn is about and what animes influenced it
spoiler[ So here i am few months ago finishing work and finishing watching an anime and wanting to go to sleep after i browse for a bit on the unity asset store. There i see one major asset that caught my attention Visual Novel toolkit for 30euros description said everything you need to make your own vn or fan vn so i download the demo and then go to sleep.

Few nights after that i get a very big insomnia and i start playing with the toolkit having the plot from mirai niki and date alive in mind.

i start writing about a guy thats in a prison and gets taken to his execution then skip back a few days and go with the wake up scene in date alive where he wakes up with a kick in he's back

Few days while discussing with some fellow otakus friends of mine i show the part i made while playing with the toolkit and they go oh wow so what happens next so i start thinking and how to put this in to a real story.]


So after 300++ animes watched i start writing the main plot thinking of my favorite genres Action;Comedy;Romance;Echi(of course dont deny it its your fav also) Drama and Fantasy. Also i start thinking of my favorite animes i seen with in those genres
and here there are. The top animes that influenced this vn

Opening scene Mirai nikki/chaos dont know if saying there opening scenes i a spoiler but just in case il place it in a spoiler tag spoiler[First seconds when yunno kills yunno yeah freaky i know also first scenes of chaos head when Rimi is crying that she has to kill takumi)]

Most of the plot was inspired and influenced from Zero no tsukaima for the fantasy aspect Accel world for the slice of life aspect Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica (Aesthetic of a rouge hero) and kaze no stigma for the bad ass pervert look the mc(main character Yamakazi Kusanagi) look and the pervert personality is a mix of akatsuki and kazuma from the mentioned animes. The other aspects of him are taken from Lelouch for the wit and strategy (do i really have to say which anime?)

so i think that about covers everything but if you have any questions feel free to ask here or in pm

First I didn't try playing it. I'm not to fancy of install things, especially incomplete betas.

Still, I'd like to tell you a few things. The art looks superb. I love the backgrounds. The characters are neatly drawn and pretty, even though they look generic and are in a style that's very far from my favorite one. But it looks very professional. Very Happy

Just an advice, you should revise your post. The text is confuse, you should fix mistakes and use proper punctuation. If not, it may give your game a bad image and scare potential players away (even if the text in the game is 100% correct).

(Also, ANN moderators seem to let some self-advertising go, and lock some others. I wonder why... Rolling Eyes )

It really just depends on the effort of the user. Most of them try and fail terribly.

Lol Very Happy you got a point there. And it would be messy if everyone came here to advertise their works, especially when only about 1% are really serious on what they're doing.

You bet we are part of that 1%. You can see it in your screen-shots, that it's totally pro-like. I just hope the story is good too Wink Keep working hard, because people usually don't take amateur works seriously and it's very easy to lose motivation, but keep always working hard towards your dreams.

So after teasing you with those sketches here is finally the finished CG's.

Sachi x Kusanagi


Sachi shoot and bleeding


Kusanagi stabbed from behind


Sry for the watermark but you will find them in our IndieDB gallery full size and watermark free.

In other news.

The voice acting finally came and is in editing right now.
With the completion of the cg's came the completion of the CG gallery also where you will be able to see the CG's after unlocking them in the game.
On the same completion list is the Scene gallery as well. Tired or don't want to keep saving to review or replay your favorite scenes? Well no more! In the scene gallery you will be able to re-play your favorite scene as many times as you would like....after unlocking it of course. Wink

So with so many boxes checked on the completion list i think were slowly approaching the time when will be releasing our first demo.

Release of the full demo has been confirmed!

I know there were lot of you who voted that cant waited and wanted a written only version believe me i seen how tight the fight was but eventually we thought that if were going to release it then we should release it perfect and make sure there is no bugs or glitches or anything and the votes being 63% can wait and 38% was even more reason to make sure we do release it perfectly.

The release date will be on 16th december 2014 at the same time were going to launch our prefundia campaign as well followed by the kickstarter that will be starting in the 2nd half of february 2015 or 5th march 2015.
