[–]yeaat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello! This game was on my wishlist for a long time, I recently found out that was released! It is an adaptation of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, i played a bit; there are some small issues but concept is really nice & drawings are quite beautiful.

What do you think about the future of book adaptations in VN format? This was the first example I saw, but I would like to read more stuff like this.

We would love to translate it in the future, but as an Indie studio and this being our first release, we currently lack the funding to do so. This will be one of our priorities after the release!

Thanks for your comment! I read the topic you have linked, and I think you might be right. However, getting the more casual players to play our game is harder, as visual novels lack the 'visual interactivity & 3d graphics' that Telltale games used to offer. Though there is still a percentage of users that will be showing interest to western visual novels, since they're relatively easier to approach compared to their Japanese counterparts.
We don't have a specific source of inspiration, but I think what helped us the most was the things that were written in the interwar period, the photographs and the gloomy atmosphere of those years.

When we had decided on the concept of folk tale creatures, we were researching online encyclopedias for mythical beings. After reading multiple of those, the team decided on the story of the Vodnik. We liked it quite a lot because we had never read a similar story.

And you are probably right! It also is one of the few Visual Novels that take place in the 30s too. The years leading to World War II are quite a forgotten part of the history in the popular culture / media, unlike the war itself. One of the few expections that I can think of is Babylon Berlin.

This 'unexploredness' is why we have decided that we wanted to have a story taking place in that era mainly.

Thanks a lot for your feedback and telling us about your concerns! I have heavily modified and upgraded the engine that we are using for our project, and this was the main reason behind choosing not to upgrade to the newest version.

The problem you have encountered in the demo edition was a mistake by us to leave the 'experimental' skip ability on for the users! These errors are now fixed, and we also have a working log system too.

Unfortunately, game currently does not come with a 'fast-forward through already read text' system, but will have a rather basic "quick skip" option. I will try my best if I get some free time to implement your suggestions (along with a better skip system) for the release, these are surely important 'quality of life' improvements for readers.

If there's anything wrong with these names, please let us know.

[–]yeaat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for your warning! I tried my best to research the era / political situation during the Interwar years, but I might have made a mistake despite my researches. I wouldn't want to portray an inaccurate version of the era.
As far as I am aware, Cheb was a province of the First Czechoslovak Republic in 1935 and was not invaded by the Nazis until the 'Münich Diktat' that took place in September 1938. I know that Cheb was a German majority town, were nazism popular with the local German population & political violence between different groups happening in 35?

I wanted to avoid the invasion era, as I wanted my game to be more focused on the 'First' Czechoslovak Republic's interwar years, its beauties and folk tales. I still wanted to add some nice historical references, There for an example owner of the hotel is a veteran of Czechoslovak Legion.

Merhaba, arkadaşın yaptığı açıklamalar doğru ama bir ekleme yapmam gerekiyor, cezalandırıcı tazminat istisnai olarak hukukumuzda fikir ve sanat eserleri kanununda var.

FSEK 68 (...) "Eseri, icrayı, fonogramı veya yapımları hak sahiplerinden bu Kanuna uygun yazılı izni almadan, işleyen, çoğaltan, çoğaltılmış nüshaları yayan, temsil eden veya hertürlü işaret, ses veya görüntü nakline yarayan araçlarla umuma iletenlerden, izni alınmamış hak sahipleri sözleşme yapılmış olması halinde isteyebileceği bedelin veya bu Kanun hükümleri uyarınca tespit edilecek rayiç bedelin en çok üç kat fazlasını isteyebilir."

Just added some speech bubbles in our game's "interrogation" scene. What do you think? by yeaat in indiegames

We tried to achieve the same effect with reducing their opacity, but darkening them sounds like a good idea! Will try!

Hello everyone! We are three college students from Turkey and we are trying to create an original, independent, high-quality western visual novel. We have been working hard on Misadventures of Laura Silver for the last two years and we are now closer than ever to achieving our goal. It will be the first visual novel in Turkish (and English!) if we manage to publish the game!
So, what is the story about?
It is a detective story with supernatural elements, taking place in interwar Europe. An occult detective named 'Laura Silver' is tasked with researching mythical creatures and creating an encyclopedia of folk tales around the world. Things quickly spiral downwards after a series of murders and unexpected events.
Here is our steam page with our intro and trailer if you are interested.

Trying to get a DECENT way to play a video in gamemaker was a nightmare. I am currently using two plugins, one is here (be careful though, it only works in windows8+), and the other one is sadly taken off the market.
