Nonononoki 10 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) We hit the big BETA! http://abload.de/img/mazetitled6zzo.png Testers needed! Current build: Beta 5 This game is still far from perfect (mostly BGM and Images). The quality will be raised when the story is finished. "What is real and what isn't? Are we even real, in this infinite universe? My name is Yuu Minamoto and I'm a scientist. I was a scientist. I will be a scientist. It all depends when you read this text. Is the flow of time really unstoppable? Is the universe really infinite? Are our lives really less worth than a grain of sand? You may call me mad or a genius, but I'm a mere human, just like you. And just like you, I'm also trapped in this goddamn universe." Current progress: Chapter 1: Completed Chapter 2: Completed Chapter 3: Completed Chapter 4: Completed Chapter 5: Completed Currently available these OS': Android OS Windows Blackberry 10 Windows Phone 8 is currently unsupported iOS is and will never be supported.

The scene number can be seen when you save or load. FAQ: Q1: Is this game free? A1: Yes, but I intend to make a premium version including a Gallery and an Alternative Ending. Q2: How many heroines? A2: There will be only 2. I really hate harems. Therefore, there will be 2 routes and 2 Good Endings. Q3: Are the characters likeable? A3: I sure hope so. Q4: Will there be H-scenes? A4: There won't be any H-scenes. Only scenes which implies sexual intercourse. I intend to upload this game on different app stores later on, and they have strict policies regarding nudity and pornography. Q5: Why do you do this? A5: There are 2 main reasons: The first one is, that I intend to become a game programmer/designer in the near future. Additionally, I hope some Japanese animation studio notices my VN and make an anime based of it. Q6: I want to volunteer. I'm good at [insert something you're good at]. A6: An announcement will be made when I need help for something. Q7: What are the genre(s) of this VN? A7: Romance, Sci-fi, Mystery, Horror Q8: What's the story about? A8: I don't even know it myself... Q9: Why won't you support iOS? It's so awesome/popular/blablabla. A9: There are 2 main reasons. 1. Apple won't allow you to install apps outside of their own store. 2. Each developer is required to pay a rather high annual fee. Get a real phone/tablet. Q10: Why won't you support Windows Phone 8? A10: Developing for Windows Phone requires Windows 8, which I don't have. I will make a port when the time comes (more like when my laptop stops responding). Q11: Which devices are best to play with? A11: A device with a 16:9 screen resolution and the right OS version is all you need. For feedbacks, bug reports, questions, ect. please send me an e-mail: [email protected] or post in this thread. ©Nonononoki PLEASE DO NOT SELL OR UPLOAD THIS GAME WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

Jaeger 11 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) As a fellow programmer, I wish you luck in your coding. though I can't help you with grammar. Also , what language are you using for this ? oh, C# and the Unity Engine, ignore the question... Edited July 20, 2014 by Jaeger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaeger 11 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) I already read it and i have three things to say : 1- I don't understand the combat too well, I can pick 2 actions, while the enemy only picks 1 ? 2- The menu in the right side of the screen is not the best thing to do, I think that a button in the left corner would be better. 3- At the start (when the "strange" things start to happen) why are some random dudes trying to kill the protagonist, and why the protagonist didn't say something about them ? Aside from that, I think it was pretty good, and I'm expecting more. Edited July 20, 2014 by Jaeger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helvetica Standard 17 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Hello there, Nono! ;3 As a fellow VN developer and programmer I wish you the best of luck in your project. Work hard and don't be discouraged when things get tough. (Cause they will be) Now my opinions and suggestions: -It looks promising. I'll be checking your progress! -What scripting platform are you using? I'm curious. -Name box overlaps with text frame. Is this intentional? Just asking. -Combat has a classic feel to it, basic but fun! Genius. -Maybe it's on my end but I can't seem to get anywhere on the combat minigame. (2 blocks up and after that I can't cross the street.) -I'm assuming this is something you're doing on your own? Get help, you'd be surprised how many people are out there who would gladly aid you in your project (I know because I also started on my own.) -I myself would love to help you out but I'm programming in python and I use the renpy engine. I have no knowledge of C or the engine you're using. -May I suggest a different font? The one you're using doesn't fit the dark mood of your VN, IMO. -Maybe you should put a on-screen button to summon the menu? Overall, I like how your VN is fleshing out. Keep at it, I'll be following your project! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nonononoki 10 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Hi, @Jeager 1. Yeah. You've figured out his attack pattern xD 2. Well, it was intended to be touch device exclusive. May change it later. 3. Further explanations MAY appear in chapter 3 @Helvatica - I'm using the Unity Game Engine using C# - Yes, the overlapping name box was intentional - Nah, I'm good on my own It's my first game (and the first project with this engine) so I have to gather some more experience first. I'm only having trouble with the English language since it's not my mother tongue. - What kind of font do you suggest? Changing the font is an easy task 'cause it'll only take about 3 seconds - I'll think about making a on-screen button or something similar. Here's the solution for the first minigame if you're stuck: http://abload.de/img/rpg1bg143ok0.png I'm currently working on the new chater and a brand new minigame Stay tuned Edited July 21, 2014 by Nonononoki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nonononoki 10 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 *Push* Chapter 4 has gone up! With new story, minigame and the first boss battle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaeger 11 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I can't enter the main story in the beta 4, when I press start and complete the tutorial, it sends me back again. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong ? Edited July 28, 2014 by Jaeger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong ? Oh, sorry. It appears to be a bug I created while testing. I will upload an updated version asap. If you have finished the story in Beta 3, you can simply click on the Load button to proceed to chapter 4. Happy Testing And don't forget to give me your opinion *EDIT* Updated version is out Edited July 28, 2014 by Nonononoki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaeger 11 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Wow, I really liked the new minigame and the boss was a real pain, He has a strange attack pattern. Also, I think the scene #528 is the same as the #529. And why the soldiers destroy the walls like Hulk ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nonononoki 10 Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Maybe I liked Hulk? Who knows? It's a pain in the ass to make an destruction animation or a fade effect, that's why And those scene were identical, imma delete one of em. BTW: The next chapter will lead you into one of the two available routes! YEEEEEAH! Stay tuned Who's your favorite character atm? Edited July 28, 2014 by Nonononoki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaeger 11 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Ok, animations are not my thing so I don't know how difficult it can be. I think I don't know who is my favourite character. I like Inari but I don't think I spent too much time with Ai to know her well I hope to find the other Yuu (the genius) in other chapters "wink wink nudge nudge" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nonononoki 10 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) For those who are interested, chapter 5 is out! Yay! No save files could be provided because of a scripting bug, so you have to start from the beginning, sowwie. As always, please look out for bugs, grammar, ect. Happy VN'ing Side Note: The next release will be the final beta release, with a complete story featuring Inari's and Ai's chapter. Those chapter will be twice as long as previous chapters. That means that the next release will take 4 times longer than usual. In addition to that, I will be attending university soon and will only have time on weekends. If you have any last wishes (even regarding the story because my story sheet is completely blank) feel free to inform me. Edited August 15, 2014 by Nonononoki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaeger 11 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I think that the link for Android OS and Windows is the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the end, a giant Megazor appears with the mastermind of the project Maze in it like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdFZmaYnle0 Then Norio Wakamoto kills him with his awesome voice and everyone lives happy edit : I don't really know how to make stories...
