Paranormal Investigations

Hello again!

I am now at the 25,000 word mark and still going strong. Yuki's route is making phenomanal progress, but I have yet to start on the other girls' routes.

Due to certain events and things taking place out of my control I have been forced to change my artist. The style of Yukionna is deviating away from the wide eyed anime style and towards a more 'Ghost in the Shell' feel.



As you can see it's not exactly a bad thing. :3

Due to the nature of Yukionna's story I've been investigating the paranormal and things associated with it. Documneteries, internet research, and personal research will be a part of this venture.

I'm trying to make this process as smooth as possible. It's inevitable that a dev team changes, so I was pretty prepared for it happening, I just did not expect it to happen in the project's infancy.

Ciao.

Clearing my head

Just recovered from a nasty bout of writers block. Trying to clear my head and get back into the groove. Luckily it hasn't been hard to progress the story, and I've gained some good ground on where I'm headed with this whole thing.

20,000 words already... I hope it isn't too wordy when I'm done, and that anyone who plays can thouroughly enjoy it.

It's been a long road already, and it's only going to get longer. If I take anything from the way I write other stories it's going to require heavy editing and thought process, a beta team has been put together for this very purpose. My editor and I have been tossing around ideas, these ideas include where Yukionna as a project is headed, and whether or not there will be a sequel.

This project is very important to me, moreso than anything I've thrust upon the internet community before now.

In light of my progress my artist, Amorrah_Wolfmoon, has provided us with some samples of Yuki.



They are simple sketches, but her character design is pretty much already in the bag. Amorrah has been a gigantic help and I have to say I look forward to working with her, I think she'll be able to make Yukionna shine.

Two more characters are up for the chopping block, one is Rachel, the other's name is Andrea, or "Andri" as the protaganist calls her.

They both have their own individual paths, this is going to be a Visual Novel, after all, and what would a VN without options be?

Clearing my head shouldn't be too hard I suppose.

If you actually read this thing drop by Amorrah's page on DeviantArt, she's a very talented artist.

Ciao for now.
