Revision as of 09:42, 16 December 2012 by アラベスク (talk | contribs) (Test)

On 2012-12-15, several users of Mebious.co.uk decided to make a visual novel based on Serial Experiments Lain.

It will consist of a collection of short stories and use the Ren'Py visual novel engine.

Plan

The text used for the VN will be collected here in a page in the next section. Each page represents one short story idea that will be included. Feel free to add your own ideas or to choose an existing one to write up.

Music will be Creative Commons (any non-ND license). Possible source: http://archive.org/details/nineinchnails_ghosts_I_IV

Backgrounds should mostly be made from anime screencaps. Some specific ones may need to be drawn or adapted from photos.

Character sprites will need to be drawn. (I'll try to draw some if she has time, but I can't guarantee quality. -Amysteriousgal)

Everything will then be assembled into a visual novel. (I'll try my best to do this, but I'm really not capable of anything beyond the basics at the moment. It's fortunate that Ren'Py has been around for long enough for there to be guides to practically everything. -Amysteriousgal)

Stories

  • Love Experiments Lain
    • A dating sim with Lain, where the player plays as himself. Possible choice of which of the 3 Lain personalities to date?
    • Writer needed
  • A day in the life of Lain
    • A light comedy where you go to school, explore the Wired, flirt with Alice, hallucinate, fulfill the prophecy, fend off your other self and try not to be too socially awkward.
    • Writer needed
  • Becoming God
    • The conspiracy from Eiri's point of view, beginning with the modification to Protocol 7 and finishing with the incarnation of Lain. Sort of a prequel to the anime.
