[South Scrimshaw [Sound novel][Kinetic]]

In a warm subtropical shallow, a newborn whale opens his eyes for the first time. Our research team is present to record the moment. South Scrimshaw is a documentary that will cover one animal's entire natural life on an alien planet.

My professional background is in illustration and animation, and working on this story has been my passion project for awhile now. The illustrations are done in mixed media, a combination traditional watercolor and gouache with digital painting. I’ve been approaching this more as a graphic novel than a game, so the read is mostly linear. But where it lacks gameplay I hope the volume and complexity of the art make the experience feel full and meaningful.

South Scrimshaw is free to download and I will be updating it as new chapters are finished. The third should be done in a month or so. If you'd like to follow the development I will be making updates over on itch.io. It'd mean a lot to start finding an audience for it.

For convenience, the first chapter is on Youtube:

Thanks!

That's gorgeous artwork, wow! I need to check that out, since I'm on itch.io too! Thanks for sharing your VN : D

[itch.io Devlog]

Hi there! I figured I might share the latest devlog entry I posted on itch.io. It was just updating people on the release of an old project from last year, "Kyle the Cat". 

I challenged myself to make a comic I had drawn the year before interactive. It was a lot of fun to make, so here's the link to the Devlog! Thanks!

Also, please leave any comments or critiques you have in the comment section of the Devlog : )

[Kyle the Cat: An Interactive Itch.io Comic : )]

Hey, guys, I was just updating my itch.io dashboard and noticed that this little project I had worked on and published to Newgrounds last year was still marked as Private. 

So, I added another Devlog entry about making it Public to anyone who wants to play/read it on itch.io as well. 

Unfortunately, I deleted my Newgrounds account since I wasn't really active on it, but here is the link to the newly published interactive comic on Itch.io!

Kyle the Cat: Ep1 "The Big Igloo"https://fluffypumkin.itch.io/kyle-the-cat

 

"Kyle the Cat" was a short project I worked on in Unity in an effort to make my comic episode that I drew interactive. It contains music, SFX, a ton of snow, cute animal people and a strange little minigame!

Here are some screenshots of it as well!

If you play it on itch.io, please leave any comments, critiques, or suggestions you have for me in the community/comment section below the game!

Thanks : )

You have to donate to Fuwanovel or be a mod to be able to use cover photos.  IIRC, it only became possible after one of the multiple IPB updates in the past year, and the only reason it's locked to mods and donators is so that they can receive something (other than warm fuzzies) for helping the site.

If you're a mod or have backer status, you'll see this cover photo option when you look at your profile:

  Reveal hidden contents

Just a warning, it has very specific image resolution and file size requirements, and is a bit of a pain to get it to accept an image.

You can also insert banners into your profile description if you don't want to donate.  They won't be above your profile picture and username, though.

Thank you! I was wondering if this was the case.

[Introduction - Ungrave]

Hi ungrave! I'm new here too. Learning Japanese AND getting to play fun VNs is a great idea! Hmm. I think I should take notes...

[Hello!]

Hi, I'm Morgan or morgan_nicole. I just joined this forum today and am really excited to have a place to find out about interesting VNs!

I actually just recommended an Adventure VN in the VN Discussion section if you want to check it out. 

Also, I'm planning on sharing any progress I make with my own Visual Novel on my profile or in the 'Devlog' section.

So maybe you'll see a post about that pop up soon ; ) 

Speaking of which, what place do you think would be better to share my VN devlog? Any advice is much appreciated!

Well, nice meeting you!

[The Crown of Leaves!]

This is a beautiful VN that I wanted to recommend to you guys since I've been wanting to get back into playing it for a while...

Firstly, the art is beautiful and the main character is super deadpan which I love of course  But most importantly, the Adventure Game elements added make the world that much more immersive!

One of my favorite mechanics of this game is the lore book that is updated with new information on each character that you meet or items that you use throughout the game in order to progress.

And don't even get me started on the soothing soundtrack! 

Well, you'd have to hear it for yourself : D 

Anyway, here are some more pictures~

And, you can find The Crown of Leaves here if you're interested in trying something new!

 

P.S. all images/screenshots of this game were obtained from the official steam page in case anyone was wondering.

I figured since these are the preview pictures there wouldn't be any spoilers.

 

And if you play this VN, let me know, so we can rave about it together!
