OotP Episode 1 - Journey to Freedom // Visual Novel Web Series

After 3 months of development, OotP episode 1 is finally here!! This is the first time I have made a visual novel at this length and my second vn I have coded in Renpy!! Currently there is no game to download as I would like to make more episodes first!! This project took many hours, early mornings and late nights, dare I say this is one of the biggest art projects I have ever created!! I used everything I knew to create the end result from frame by frame animation, 3d modelling to puppet animation and while I originally wanted to animate the whole episode, working on the VN itself (including lots of CG's and some animated cutscenes), was extremely physically intensive, I sadly cannot sit at my desk and draw as long as I used to without enduring pain. This is most likely due to my body not fully recovering from a project that I worked on last year, and it will most likely never be able to withstand as much drawing/animating as it used to. So I am really glad I experimented with the visual novel format and found a happy medium to tell this, very, very longgg project (over 40 episodes and 100k words!!) Future episodes may not be as CG and animation heavy, however since this is the first one, I wanted to give it some extra love!! Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and support throughout this project, I hope you enjoy what's to come!! ^-^ Credits: Software: Coding engine - Ren'py Drawing + animation - Krita and Clip Studio Paint EX V2 3D modelling - Blender Editing + colour grading - Davinci Resolve 20 All music and sound effects sourced from Pixabay and YouTube Audio Library Music: Snowfall Butterflies - Asher Fulero Dark Elves - Jimena Contreras Sizzr - Schwartzy my-little-garden-of-eden-112845 before-the-sky-sheds-a-tear Way Back Home - Simon Herody Last Sunrise - Adam MacDougall Broken Promise - Jimena Contreras
