MR Visual Novels

The plot outlining has begun!

Damn I wish I had a big white board.

[legomaestro]

Seems legit haha. Oh yeah Litt I'd like to see whatever you've got. I can be a beta-tester!

[LittRL]

First ya have to download Renpy. Then go to the google drive folder and download the Reida Gakuen folder completely.

[legomaestro]

Reida Gakuen ahaha. Nice.

[LittRL]

Didn't know what Coryn was planning on calling it so I just made everything sound Japanese. Try entering your names as blank in the game and see what you get.

[Coryn]

I'm cool with calling it whatever. I've come up with three main plot lines, each with their own name, so having a sort of generic name to cover the whole thing works.

any rate, here be the basic overview, i'm starting to work out the details on each now.

Spoiler

[legomaestro]

Whoa that was huge... (Opened it on the photobucket itself)

I love how random the three plots are. The whodunit seems random and almost reminiscent of what happened in Day of 1000 styles haha. This will be interesting.

[LittRL]

I don't even know how to begin coding those parts. Gonna have to look up how to make light flashes on the screen for sure. Gimme a script and I'm down to do what I do.

@Lego: Try the game yet?

[Coryn]

working on it now. day 1 will be consistent throughout, so starting with that.

I played it, works nicely too! where doing this guys, where making this happen!

[legomaestro]

Only downloaded renpy (snail internet for the win!) Installing and pilfering contents of google drive. Also, edit your first post to have the drive link there as this topic will have many pages in the future and i'm a zwas when it comes to keeping bookmarks

[LittRL]

This is one of those things where you can really see the progress so I'm not lacking in motivation here.

@Coryn: Is the script only going to split once?

@Lego: Updated.

[Coryn]

I was thinking there'd be another split in each plot line later on near the very end, just in time to change the ending. so that would be a total of 6 endings.

Also, a question that could save some time on the art side of things: School uniforms, yay or nay?

I say yay, to save jack some effort and for gag purposes.

[LittRL]

Yay. I was gonna draw some on myself if I weren't terrible at drawing. If you take a not so close look at MR-tan in the game she has super paint level facial expressions.

Alright then. I'll keep that in mind for the endings.

[legomaestro]

Dude you did this amount of work in a short time? Good stuff man! Mr-Tan sure is a handfull...

I ended up absent mindedly calling myself Legomaestro. There should be a super short route / Bad Ending whereby if you type in a raider's name you are exterminated as a spam ninja or a potential time travelling paradox or something...

[LittRL]

@Lego: I've been working on this for a while now actually. I made a couple test files and everything but what I have now is hours of work (which mostly consisted of looking for resources and editing files). As for the insta-death thing I was planning to do something with it. I'm not sure if I can get the code to work without a lot of trial and error but I'll either have the options disabled or loop it back to putting in your name because MR-tan will call you out on it.

Put in the labels for the three main scenes. So far henshin has you in a corridor witnessing someone named "Kamen" transform and the Senpai scene is just an empty classroom at the moment.

@Coryn: Just remembered you should probably contact Jack and tell him what kind of expressions you plan on using for the characters. Just a thought stick most things in this alpha are static.
