Short Summary
Set in the nineties, USSR, "Seven Summer days" is a set of five visual novels combining loss, passion, anger and mystery. Noir story is the first game from series. After it there will be plot bridges: a loss story, a passion story and an anger story. And Road Demon/Demiurge-trio finishes it as a big epilogue of Close Realms Universe.
Each game features about 20 hours of gameplay with a total non-linear scenario and multiple endings. Six heroines, with a meeting of two of them in the Noir story.
I'm working in GMS2 so porting game to another gaming platforms is only matter of money (and buying extended license). So in case of success there will be simultaneous release in any possible PC/mobile device. In case of even greater succes I can create web-version of game.
7sd will contain more than 120 hours of gameplay in its script, over 50 backgrounds, and 3+ hours of music.
What I Need & What You Get
I already have fully working demo so you are able to check future game via downloading/playing the demo and decide whether you support me or not. Probably you just hate visual novel, you know.
So what I need:
- Sprites or heroines models.There are SIX main heroines (Maria, Lera, Stasya, Lana, Sasha, Yana) and I have only one of them. It costs money. I'm working with a great artist so there are no doubts about future sprite quality.
- Music or soundtrack. Speaks for itself. Good music costs money. And yeah, I'm working with yet another great artist. You can check his music in the demo.
- License! Well, it costs about $400 to port my game to all your devices.
- Translation. Well I'm writing in russian so I need someone who's good enough to translate my text. And he will be paid for his work.
The Impact
Let me make some loud noises... FROM THE CREATOR OF NUMBER ONE EVERLASTING SUMMER'S MODIFICATION!!! Come on. It's just a mod. People reading it do love it and want me to continue writing this mod. But instead of it I'm going to convert this mod to the separate game (is coming after my work at D3|RD will be finished).
So here's the roadlist:
1. Noir prequel game.
2. Bridge one (loss story) - a story with two routes with Lana and Maria (a boat trip and a train trip). This will be a first connection between original 7dl story and an actual Road Demon scenario.
3. Bridge two (passion story) - story with Stasya and Lera.
3. Bridge three(anger story) - story with Yana and Sasha.
4. Road Demon/Demiurge-trio - main story with all six heroines.
5. 7dl conversion project - converting my already extisting universe into the separate game (its about 100 hours of gameplay. No kidding!)
6. A book may be created, if the idea finds some response.
My stories are about people. About their relationships and their fate leading into the surprisingly interesting endings. You could find some warmth and hope if you need it. Or just dive deep into a grim atmosphere of my noir story. Just try clicking some buttons. There are three parts of stories: Lana's ending from the conversion, Dem prologue from Road Demon|Demiurge-trui and Noir as demo exclusive.
BTW, you've got two numbers "3". For your info.
Risks & Challenges
Well, the most risk is all mine. Since I've already got in here. I'll be working on my universe no matter of gaining the goal or not. It will be just... slower. The most expensive of course is the music and the heroines' visual. But I will got it as well one way or another. So supporting me you're just speeding up the process.
And yeah, go check out my demo please.
You can get it here on google.drive. Enjoy reading!
