\"mockupBW\"
\nRei looks older in black & white, doesn’t he? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Jokes apart, the image above is a test\/mockup I made a few weeks ago to illustrate the kind of “old book style” I wanted to try in a future game.<\/p>\n

The images could probably be done in color too, even if personally I don’t mind the black & white style, is quite charming (I was a big fan of comics when I was a teenager).<\/p>\n

The biggest doubt I had was about the writing, since in my games is mostly dialogue based, with a few description, “screenplay” style. In this case is more like reading a book, as you can see.<\/p>\n

I’m well aware of the “Choice Of Games” company, and that they’re using exactly this style (minus the images, it’s only text). Looking at their games, it seems that like in my case there are more or less successful ones, and it’s mainly about the idea\/story\/characters, and of course, writing quality. But not<\/em> writing style.<\/p>\n

You might wonder why on Earth I am thinking to do such a game ? well, first of all, to experiment. Loren was an experiment and is one of my best titles after all! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Also to try something new. There’s no need to say that even if I make a game like this, and is super-successful, I won’t stop doing my usual VN\/dating sim style! Of course not. But I might ALSO do a few games like that.<\/p>\n

Regarding some more technical\/commercial point of view, using that layout\/style would offer some advantages:<\/p>\n
