Lone Survivors Prototype Visual Novel

THE STORY:

You are Alex Farlong, rushing to board the last escape shuttle as your planet faces inevitable destruction. However, the shuttle takes a beating, and the passengers and crew are presumed dead, including you. Hours later, you wake up, completely alone in space, surrounded by debris and corpses. Just when everything feels hopeless, the communications network comes to life with another distress signal, a woman who needs your help. Together, you must work together to save each other, to escape the clutches of your dying planet. Escaping is just the first battle. Do you have what it takes to survive?

ABOUT THE PROJECT:

Lone Survivors is a space themed romance visual novel still in development. This is my first time doing a project like this, so some of the writing is a bit rough in some areas.  I've been working on the project (on and off) since early 2023. I'd love to continue working on it, but I need financial support to be able to do that. If you like what I've done so far, and you want to support, check out my Patreon here: patreon.com/DragonStudios101

WHAT'S DONE:

• The Entire Storyline Outline For 'Emily' Is Done. The Details Need To Be Added
• The Story Concepts And Goals For The Other Heroines Are Complete

WHAT'S COMING NEXT RELEASE:

Alpha2:

• The Next Two Chapters For 'Emily' Are Planned For The Next Release

What To Expect:

• Different Visuals. The 3D backgrounds take a very long time to put together. Because of this, the backgrounds are going to be replaced with 2D concept art for the time being. All the backgrounds are planned to be properly replaced in the later future

Alpha3:

• The Prologue For One Of The Other Heroines

FUTURE PLANS/FEATURES:

Currently In The Works:

• 4 Different Heroines With Their Own Different Story Routes
• Multiple Sub Routes That Branch Out And Intersect
• Multiple Endings
• In Game Flowchart For Easy Story Tracking
• Player Choice And Influence

Future Goals/Ideas:

• Live 2D
• Voice Acting
• Better Backgrounds
• Updated Character Models

KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES:

Title Screen:

• The "Exit" button stacks a duplicate "Exit" button after clicking "Cancel" at the "Close the window and quit the game?" prompt. Continuously doing this has almost no effect on the performance, however.

Config Menu:

• Adjusting the music and SFX volume during play causes incorrect volume scaling. All the sound pieces are already scaled properly, so I don't recommend adjusting the sound in game. Use your computer's default sound menu instead.

Extra Menu:

• Changing the protagonist's name is experimental. The menu and results work, but is easy to break if you're trying to. This option is more of a stepping stone for the future.

Credits:

• The emojis and foreign letters in the credits are incorrectly displayed. However, it only affects the title of the work. The links to the works are still fine.

• At least one entry was entered twice.

• Entering then exiting the credits during gameplay sets the wrong music to play

Gameplay:

• While text is scrolling, the buttons at the bottom of the screen don't work.
