Hi, my name is Nono and this is my first game project called "Maze". It' also happens to be a VN :)
 
Testers needed!
Current build: Beta 3
 
This game is still far from perfect (mostly BGM and Images). The quality will be raised when the story is finished.
 
"What is real and what isn't? Are we even real, in this infinite universe? My name is Yuu Minamoto and I'm a scientist. I was a scientist. I will be a scientist. It all depends when you read this text. Is the flow of time really unstoppable? Is the universe really infinite? Are our lives really less worth than a grain of sand? You may call me mad or a genius, but I'm a mere human, just like you. And just like you, I'm also trapped in this goddamn universe."
 
Current progress:
Chapter 1: Completed
Chapter 2: Completed
Chapter 3: Completed
 
Currently available these OS':
Android OS
Windows
Blackberry 10
Windows Phone 8 is currently unsupported
iOS is and will never be supported.

FAQ:

Q1: Is this game free?
A1: Yes, but I intend to make a premium version including a Gallery and an Alternative Ending.
 
Q2: How many heroines?
A2: There will be only 2. I really hate harems. Therefore, there will be 2 routes and 2 Good Endings.
 
Q3: Are the characters likeable?
A3: I sure hope so.
 
Q4: Will there be H-scenes?
A4: There won't be any H-scenes. Only scenes which implies sexual intercourse. I intend to upload this game on different app stores later on, and they have strict policies regarding nudity and pornography.
 
Q5: Why do you do this?
A5: There are 2 main reasons: The first one is, that I intend to become a game programmer/designer in the near future. Additionally, I hope some Japanese animation studio notices my VN and make an anime based of it.
 
Q6: I want to volunteer. I'm good at [insert something you're good at].
A6: An announcement will be made when I need help for something.
 
Q7: What are the genre(s) of this VN?
A7: Romance, Sci-fi, Mystery, Horror
 
Q8: What's the story about?
A8: I don't even know it myself...
 
Q9: Why won't you  support iOS? It's so awesome/popular/blablabla.
A9: There are 2 main reasons. 1. Apple won't allow you to install apps outside of their own store. 2. Each developer is required to pay a rather high annual fee. Get a real phone/tablet.
 
Q10: Why won't you support Windows Phone 8?
A10: Developing for Windows Phone requires Windows 8, which I don't have. I will make a port when the time comes (more like when my laptop stops responding).
 

 

This game is developed for a screen aspect ratio of 16:9. Game experience may vary with any other aspect ratio.

Since I don't have time to do much reading right now, I'll just point out a couple things about the menu that I noticed. First, I noticed in the config menu, when you select a setting for whichever configuration, the box gets a white outline. I think it would help to have the default setting outlined so people know where things start out at. Also, a default settings button probably wouldn't hurt either. It would probably help to add the configuration menu to the pop-up menu when you click the right side of the screen so people can edit their setting faster instead of having to go back to the main menu every time. Also fullscreen, if that's not being developed already. I'll get some feedback for the actual reading once I get some time to read. Oh, this is for the windows version by the way.

I figured that not many people would do much in the configurations, so I didn't add it to the right side buttons (Will probably take several hours to add this button to EVERY scene - and I don't really have the time). And the outline of the default settings is a known bug. At least the outline of "Start = Q.Load" is outlined (weird, all of them have almost the exact same script...).

I will implement a default button in the config menu next time. Thanks for your feedback! :)
