This particular wording, or should I say, lack thereof, leaves me positively nonplussed.

I am, of course, alluding to the use of "I've also some things to do", as opposed to a more customary alternative: "I've also got some things to do".

Due to a definite paucity of knowledge in the English syntax department, this is a mere supposition. It is entirely possible that the average reader would present no qualms with the current phrasing.

 

In other news, I adore this VN, I relish Miss Shigure Enomoto, and grass is viridescent.

This one is actually legit from what my writers tell me^^
Glad you're enjoying the game! Looking forward to your full review!

I must avow, I have some difficulty discerning whether the boy intends to impart that the knob is victim of an extreme monetary deficiency, or if it is merely an articulation defect concomitant of the boy's youthful age.

And by that I mean that I'm unsure whether "Maybe it's broke?" is intended. The verb conjugation seems off to me.

 

Also, in case any doubt yet remained, I am patently typing in such a manner purposefully. Taking over 20 minutes to write a sentence can be fun.

Seems that some people have already been starting to make some character accounts, maybe now's the moment to snag Shigure's!? ;)
Also I think this one is on purpose.

Playing!

 

Some notes:

 

  • Text can't pop up all at once on the screen (i.e.: deault text speed can't be infinite). It's ugly and breaks an otherwise very atmospheric intro.
  • Music is sounding nice and cohesive. Good job handling multiple composers!
  • Sound design also crisp - the menu sfx can get a bit overwhelming if you hover the mouse over the buttons though
  • Rui still best girl

I'm pretty sure you can make the text pop instantly though. You need to set it like this :

Glad you're playing! Feel free to share your impressions here or on the other discussion thread (probably the other would be nice since it would bump the thread haha http://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/13902-lucid9inciting-incident-discussion-thread/

Hi everyone! 

 

It's been quite a while since any of us posted on this thread. To be honest, I had actually forgotten it existed. I'm unsure if many people still visit here, but I felt I should post a quick update about the project. 

 

It's been almost four years now, and if you haven't been following our official blog or social media accounts, you might be surprised to hear that Lucid9 hasn't died yet. Since the release of Inciting Incident back in 2016, we've been working on finishing the heroine routes. A lot has happened since then--far too much to write here--but in short: members had come and gone, and some time after the Steam release we faced quite a big hurdle that almost ended the project. Somehow we managed to get through it. Four years, and we're nearly finished with development. Much of the scripts have been written, and almost all of the assets have been uploaded with the exception of CGs and such, which we're planning to do last. I'll share some of our progress below. 

 

One important thing that I also wanted to mention concerns the recent update to the game. Some months ago, we released what we like to call the Heroine Prologues. To access them, all you need to do is to finish Inciting Incident and receive the Steam Achievement (if you've downloaded the game on itch.io, there should be a separate file to download). A new button labeled "Undo" should appear in the main menu. 

The heroine prologues are prologues to the heroine routes. Obviously. They're told from the heroines' perspective, and should take about two hours to read. You can find more info here at our blog if you want to know more before playing: http://lucid9.weebly.com/blog/of-voices-and-prologues

 

We hope you enjoy the short taste of what's to come. Do let us know your thoughts on the new content. If you have any further questions about our progress and what we've been up to, don't hesitate to ask. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for comments. 

 

For now, au revoir

Lucid9 Kickstarter Launches January 1st, 2024!


Exciting news, everyone!


The Lucid9 Kickstarter is officially launching on January 1st, 2024! We've poured our hearts and souls into crafting this campaign, and we can't wait to share it with everyone. To be among the first notified when the campaign goes live, head over to our Kickstarter pre-launch page today!


https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/618620552/lucid9-a-mystery-visual-novel


In the meantime, we're gearing up for launch by reaching out to content creators and journalists. During the month of January, we also plan to host a series of development livestreams. We'll be posting more details about the stream schedule and guest appearances as we draw closer to the new year. 


As we've always aimed to introduce more people to the magic of visual novels, we hope this campaign will reignite the spark of interest in Lucid9 that emerged upon its initial release years ago. With the backing of our passionate community through this Kickstarter campaign, we confidently anticipate completing the game by the end of 2024.


And to further fuel your excitement, we're proud to unveil the brand-new story trailer today! Take a look!

Why Kickstarter?
Since its creation in 2014, Lucid9 has been in development for nearly a decade. Despite some notable releases, such as Inciting Incident in 2016 and the heroine prologues in 2019, progress has been slow and inconsistent due to the game being a free project. The COVID-19 pandemic has only made things more difficult, with many of us having less time and resources than usual.


A Kickstarter campaign would allow us to complete the game in a reasonable timeframe and open up opportunities for additional features and polish, depending on the amount of funding we receive. Without funding, we are limited in the content we can create. A fully funded project would cover the cost of character sprites, backgrounds, CGs, music, programming, and writing, and potentially include additional art, voice acting, and an animated opening.


While the full game will still be released for everyone to play for free, we have a number of exciting rewards lined up exclusive to backers, including signed physical illustrations, digital wallpapers, artbooks, Lucid9 themed t-shirts, and more!

 

Story
In the heart of the bustling metropolis of Isamu, Japan, a dark shadow looms over the esteemed Isamu Academy. Yama Ishimoto, an intelligent yet jaded high school student, finds himself thrust into the center of a chilling mystery as a wave of gruesome murders sweeps through the school. These killings bear an eerie resemblance to the unsolved Independent Murders that once plunged the city into chaos years ago.
As Yama delves deeper into the enigma, he uncovers a labyrinth of secrets and hidden truths that intertwine with the city's dark past. With each revelation, he navigates a treacherous path that draws him and his companions closer to the heart of a sinister conspiracy that has cast a pall over Isamu.
Lucid9 is a tale of suspense that delves into the depths of human nature, exploring themes of friendship, betrayal, and the unwavering pursuit of truth in the face of overwhelming darkness.

 

How You Can Help
We would be grateful if you would consider supporting our Kickstarter campaign. Every contribution, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated! You can pledge as little as $1, and every pledge will help us reach our goal. 


You can also share the project with your friends and family to help us spread the word. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. And to get the latest news about Lucid9, be sure to subscribe to our official newsletter here!
