Hime_Takamura 10 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) So, I'm working on a visual novel called Golden Roses. It's still not near finished, but I'm working on getting a demo out by summer of 2013. Keep in mind I haven't completely fleshed out the story or characters and I'm totally open to suggestion. http://i.imgur.com/AQpVK.jpg It's your standard "player character moves to his hometown and finds a girlfriend" story. You play as a 3rd year student named Tarou Ikeda who has moved back to his unnamed hometown with his widowed father after he gets married to his divorced high school sweetheart (who happens to have a daughter the same age as Tarou). He's enrolled at Golden Rose Academy, the private high school that his father and step mother went to. There are 10 different girls to choose from in this game, all of which have their own personalities and stories. http://i.imgur.com/kVQZSbt.jpg A) Ichikawa Yuria - The tomboy, who loves to play baseball. She has to play on the boy's team since there is no girl's team. She dreams of moving to America to play in the big leagues. B) Fukusawa Megumi - School idol, student coucil president. very ladylike and demure. but she's not who everyone thinks she is. C) Yamada Tomoko - A secret otaku. She loves anime and video games, but due to the stigma attached to the culture, she tries her best to hide it. D) Hayagawa Chisami - A shy, troubled girl. She cries easily and is very unapproachable. spends most of her time in the library; she loves to read. E) Iwata Ruriko - The class rep and twin sister of Tarou's best friend, Fujio. She's a bit bossy and demanding, but means well. She's a childhood friend. F) Nakashima Yumi - the manic pixie dream girl. a bit ditzy and clumsy, but very friendly and outgoing. willing to try anything. but she hides a tragic secret... G) Kudou Sumie - Yandere. Seems sweet and shy on the outside, but if someone gets between her and what she wants, she can be deadly. Warning: paying her too much attention will trigger her route and if you try to go after another girl after that, you may not like the results... H) Okamura Hanako - A quiet, spacey girl. She loves nature, especially flora. She works in a flower shop. She prefers potted plants to clipped flowers, as clipped plants will die. She's constantly fighting with her parents about her future. I) Kamitani Kyoumi - A rebel and punk. She smokes and spends most of her time on the roof or anywhere she can be alone. She keeps to herself and is difficult to get to know. But there's a reason she's like this... J) Nemoto Shizuru - Tarou's step-sister. a classic tsundere. I haven't fleshed out her character too much just yet. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ For more information, see my deviantArt page here: Hime-Takamura on deviantART For exclusive sneak peeks, like my facebook page: Hime Takamura Manga | Facebook Please post your thoughts and suggestions (be gentle!)

desi 53 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I definitely need to see more of the characters to make a more accurate judgment, but Nemoto Shizuru - Tarou's step-sister. a classic tsundere. You had me at incest and classic tsundere. I'm afraid you won't be able to develop a good story when you have so many girls to choose from. 10 girls means each story is probably really short. Also, welcome back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hime_Takamura 10 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Tomoko is also tsundere, for the people who like tsundere, but don't like incest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desi 53 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Tomoko is also tsundere, for the people who like tsundere, but don't like incest. Sounds exactly like Kirino (Ore No Imouto) then... minus incest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harlequin 17 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hahaha, that hammer on the yandere... nice. ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radiantmadness 11 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 awesome:) the yandere with hammer looks epic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hime_Takamura 10 Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Sounds exactly like Kirino (Ore No Imouto) then... minus incest Yeah, that's what I kind of based her off of. ^^; Edited November 28, 2012 by Hime_Takamura Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually plan on having semi long stories for all of them. I don't have any time limit on this, so I can take as long as I want to flesh out everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OneManArmy 82 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Hayagawa Chisami - A shy, troubled girl. She cries easily and is very unapproachable. spends most of her time in the library; she loves to read. I really have to wonder why desi didn't vote for this character. Okamura Hanako - A quiet, spacey girl. She loves nature, especially flora. She works in a flower shop. She prefers potted plants to clipped flowers, as clipped plants will die. I still need to work out some of her story I personally would go for this heroine because nature loving girls are always nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryugenzawa 11 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'll stay indecisive and say that I like them all.. Make an 'All of them' vote option And yes.. I know very well that I'll die by Kudou Sumie's hands for choosing all of them.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hime_Takamura 10 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'll stay indecisive and say that I like them all.. Make an 'All of them' vote option it's a max 10 option vote. but it's multiple choice, so you can select all of them I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desi 53 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I really have to wonder why desi didn't vote for this character. Glasses. It's the glasses! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
killerinsidee 14 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Tarou's step-sister. a classic tsundere...Nuff said. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OneManArmy 82 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Glasses. It's the glasses! Oh lol, I didn't know that there are pictures of the heroines. I'm not a fan of glasses either. In this case, my favourite sprite is c) and my favourite character description (or whatever you wanna call it) is still h). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
