I'm back!

 Long time has passed since the release of my first Visual Novel but I had to study a bit more and also struggled on finding a good game engine that allowed me to be more creative and at the same time one that wasn't a burden to manage. After a lot of trials, I found a cool, free and open source engine called "Godot". I've spent couple months to get an hand of it and, at the end, something managed to click in my head. So I started to develop prototypes of simple games to better understand the engine and, even if it doesn't have  a lot of tutorials and assets like Unity, it's a real pleasure to work with. I don't pretend to be able to release a triple A game but I'm really satisfied of the results coming out, considering also that I'm working alone with almost no support at all about coding. I might start to share my prototypes here (which I have also made repositories on GitHub, just in case) and I would like to share with you all so maybe I'll...

WIP : Impassion

Hey everyone! I'm working on another story, as always related to body swap. This time I'm going to experiment with something different from the average visual novel. It's always hard to write good body swap stories because it's difficult to give the feeling of a real body swap. Most of the time is based on the imagination of the reader rather than the ability of the writer. Would you rather read a body swap story about Trump and Clinton or one about two unknown individuals? So that's the main challenge, try to help the reader wear the shoes of the one being body swapped and also make it charming, appealing so to give a reason to continue with the story. What can I say about it...challenge accepted! Actually, the story is still in development. I'm using placeholders for the backgrounds and if someone would like to help me with the art, toss me an email! In any case, stay tuned for more details.

Changes released!

The public release version of Changes has been added in the download page . There were other versions before this one that has been tested by few persons. I collected their feedback and reports wich helped me improve and fix the game. Thank you very much for your time and patience, guys!

About Changes

Image
Changes is a simple visual novel about body swapping where you'll be able to follow the adventures of a cool geeky girl and her room-mate. It's pretty easy as you can just click on the dialogs to advance and there's also an auto-save feature implemented that allow you to continue from the closest checkpoint saved. There's also a little surprise at the end (or should we say, the ends?). Languages used: english and italian. The game it's free and always will be but donations are always welcome! Charelle with her room-mate, Lou.

Introduction

Hi everyone!  I'm just an amateur coder working on a simple project: a visual novel story based on body swap. Soon, I'll post more details about the project I'm working on. Bare with me since I'm still a beginner and english isn't my native language. I accept any kind of feedback and advices but keep also in mind that I'm actually doing it for free. I'm using Unity engine and other tools for the music and the graphic. I'm actually having some small collaboration for proof-reading the dialogs by native english speakers so don't worry about the grammar (unless I mess up something myself...). The two main characters of the story, Charelle and Lou.
