Edit:
At the moment:
- 25,257 words;
- 6 chapters available (including the prologue) out of a total of 149 chapters;
- Approximately 312 audio files, including songs, environments and effects;
- 0 images (I'm thinking about working with a friend to add more images to the game, even if still);
- Approximately 1/2 hours game time (Taking into account that a person reads 200-300 words per minute);
- A chocolate or strawberry cookie for you
Hello everyone, nice to meet you!
This is my first topic, and I don't know if I'm in the right room, but let's try.
I was excited to come here and share something I'm working on, even if slowly. I need opinions, and to know if more people will like it, since I only shared it with a few friends.
1: Home.
In 2021 I was presented with a Naruto fanfic, but at the time I didn't want to read fanfics, so I didn't read it. But in 2022 when they shared the link again, I read it and... My God, what an incredible story.
Dialogues, setting, plot, everything was great in my opinion.
I kept thinking how cool it would be if this story became an anime, with voices, sound effects, or music, because that would be so good!
So only in 2024, in January, I decided to do a project like this fanfic.
2: Tiny Project
I started learning things about Ren'py last year, and as it was easy and smooth to use, it also seemed to fit with what I intended to do.
I went ahead, I made the prologue of the Fanfic in Ren'py. Music, sound effects, environments, and prologue story.
When I finished, I thought it was incredible that I had the courage to do something like this, since I'm more of a procrastinator.
So I did chapter 1, and chapter 2 after that. I took a break for a week, until I showed it to someone else and they loved it, then I felt inspired again and did chapters 3, 4, and 5.
So I thought: "Hmmm, I want to show this project to other people, and I know a place to do that!"
First I talked to the Fanfic author explaining what I was doing, and then, after a few weeks I'm here to share it with all of you!
Oh, yes, even though I used the Fanfic he wrote in the project, I don't intend to ask for money for what I did, or anything like that. I'm just someone who is passionate about the project, who did something to make Fanfic more immersive and would like to share this with more people.
I still dream of the day this will become an anime, yes!
3: I'm bad at creating category titles for what I'm going to talk about, so, finally, the project.
I would like to share the version for those using Mac, or Linux, but I unfortunately deleted my ren'py folder. I really don't know how I did it, last night I went to look, I couldn't find the folder, I tried to open ren'py using the shortcut and it didn't work. Luckily I had posted the latest version on Google Drive, so I was more relieved that I hadn't lost everything. Sorry about that, we will only have the Windows version for now.
The prologue and 5 more chapters are currently available.
I don't know how long it takes to finish completely, but when a person was reading the prologue, chapter 1 and chapter 2, it took two hours, but using a not very fast NVDA voice and paying close attention to what was happening. If I read it quickly I think I would finish it in 1, 2, 3 hours maybe?
It is in Brazilian Portuguese.I didn't think about sharing this project at first, so I didn't think about doing it in English. But if you like it and want it, I'd be happy to leave it in English, although I think I'll probably need help. Seriously, a chapter takes a long time to make, although I'd say it's more the fault of finding sound effects that perfectly match the moment than the story itself.
I recommend using NVDA to translate the texts.
For those who don't know, I'll leave how to do this at the end of this long post!
You can't make many choices here. Just advance the dialogues with enter and enjoy the show. The only choices available are for chapter choices.
Having said all that, here is the link. I hope you like it, I'll be looking forward to reading your comments.

4: To use NVDA:
Install the "autoclip" add-on, and enable clipboard reading with "shift+NVDA+k" or the shortcut you configured.
When opening the game and the music starts playing, press Shift+c.
Okay, just enjoy!
You can also use Ren'py's default voice mode with letter "v".
Thanks for reading, sorry for any mistakes, and thanks again.
Have a good day.
