Scarlet Clockwork, now with sounds and images!
« on: September 12, 2010, 01:17:19 PM »
Well, I'll begin softly.
I made a demo of Scarlet Clockwork, with Ren'py, and I need some feedbacks before resuming it.

The plot of Scarlet Clockwork is pretty simple: you are playing as a young girl, coming from somewhere, and reaching the SDM.
Since the story is already written, maybe you know how it will end. If this it is, then please don't spoil the story.

Anyway, as you can notice, I'm not using any painting background (because my drawings sucks), and I'm not using skins for characters.
Well, considering there's only two characters for now, I can't really draw something good for them.
For the other characters, I plan to use Alphes' art. Dunno if it's legal (I guess it's not), but I don't really have any other alternative.

The backgrounds are from the web, or from my own researches. I shoot with a digital camera, and I re size after that.

You may notice lots of typos, I'm actually trying to erase them, while keeping a strange structure.

Here is the link.

TL; DR: This humble writefag is doing his best, but he's lacking in experience, skills, manpower, and time.
Bipolar, paranoid, half-crazy, hateful, philanthropic. That's me in a nutshell. And I'm a ddyk. Hahahaha, nobody's gonna get this one.

Mmm....
30 seconds.


Yeah, it's really short. But it's just a demo.

Well it's a bit short, even for a demo, and it could really use some editing and proofreading, but I do see some potential here. It's already set up a sense of mystery. When does this take place? Who is the girl? My first assumption was Sakuya, but it seems to be set in the future after the comment about Meiling. I look forward to more.

The reason why it's so short is because I'm missing background.
I planned to use real pictures, which was acceptable for the outside, but...
for some reason, I didn't found any picture of a SDM-looking like castle.
Which means that until I can find usable pictures, the VN won't really move.
Actually, finding good background is my first priority.

I'm aware of the several typos, and I'm also working on it.

Double post, but for a good reason.

This is dropped. For good reasons:
-first, the story is already out. Check touhou-project.
-second, as those guys "nicely" told me, I have some trouble with english.
-third, wasting time on a old work who's fated to fail is... well, a waste.
-Fourth, if I continue writing story, it'll be in french, or in several years.

TL;DR: It's over.
