Lily's Day Off - Visual Novel for Android - PC/Mac/Linux

[video=youtube_share;oMkbhyVVuls]http://youtu.be/oMkbhyVVuls​

Hey everyone!~ I finally finished Lily's Day Off.


LINK TO Android version

DOWNLOAD PC/Mac/Linux version


This is not your typical visual novel where each route gives you new information on a solid character personality or whatever. As you progress in this game, your actions drastically change characters and outcomes.

There are 8 endings in total, each with a completely different theme. Since the game is pretty short, there is no save function. You can skip, however by holding the skip button with a left click.

Some of the endings can be sorta morbid, but nothing graphic.

Please download and play!! Let me know how you like it!!~

p.s. I did the character art!~ You can check out more of my arts at loliconion.deviantart.com

 

That was fun = ] , thanks for sharing. What did you use to make it ?

 

Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! I used my own visual novel scripting setup to make the game.

 

Wow never thought of Unity as something to make a visual novel, awesome idea, thank you for posting this! I can't wait to check this out! Do you have any advice for setting up/creating a visual novel in Unity? I think it might be something awesome for the kids I teach too to get into if it isn't too difficult. Thanks again for the idea!!

Oh man, so sorry I had missed your post all this time Leonard! I really don't have any advice aside from maybe setting up the game with Unity2D haha. Unfortunately, I set up the visual novel script I made all wrong. After all was said and done, I realized I really should have used an array to store the character speaking info and the next line info. Instead I used a counter and a ton of if statements. As the counter goes up, the next line that matches the number on the counter was fed into the text box. If you have any specific questions, I can try and answer them for you! ^_^

 

I found these 3 visual novel systems in the asset store:

#1 only $5 https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/10084

#2 $65 bucks https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/15905

#3A $30 https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/9270
#3B free version of above (limited) https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/9416

I tried the free one above and I felt it was too complicated, so I started making my own. Its similar to the $5 dollar one above I think, based on the screenshot, but with more stuff.

I'm trying to make mine, flexible enough so that you could use it for 3D characters if you wanted.

I'll probably give mine out for free once its fully working.

 

Hey Oniony what are you working on next ?

 

Sorry for the late reply. I'm currently working on my own system for Unity that is going to try and emulate what Live2D does.

If you have ever player a visual novel before or some certain games, I'm sure you've heard of Live2D. It takes a regular old 2D drawing and lets you create the illusion of it being 3D. It's a really awesome effect. It's just too expensive for me to buy haha.

You can see an example of my progress in this video. There's also a tech demo in the latest version of the android app.

@breok Maybe you will have better luck with the webplayer version!

ALSO! I realized I never announced that the game now has 8 new endings and Lily has 4 new outfits she can wear. It's only available in the android version as a $1 add-on.

 

Hey that's really neat (Live 2D) ! Like I've mentioned before, been working on a tool to create VN's in unity, here is an example one I made pretty quick using the tool: http://www.inversethought.com/Eriks/vn/

It would be cool to maybe get "Lily's day off" or your next mini vn novel using the tool = ] . Let me know if you might be interested.
