 Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2007 11:52 am Post subject: Shina Visual Novel Project FAQ |
 |
|
Q: What is Visual Novel?
A: Check it up here -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Novel , always Wiki for other basic definitions please 
Q: What is Shina?
A: Shina is a story about Jo, a young man who one night encountered Shina, an amnesiac girl who looked much like his own deceased younger sister in front of his doorsteps - it started a chain of events that in the end revealed Shina's true identity, what really happened on the day Jo survived the crash that killed the rest of his family, and Jo's own fate!
Shina was first published by Elex Media Komputindo in September 2006 as a comic book. Now, Shina is being ported into a Visual Novel that will expand the original story and fully exploit Visual Novel engine capabilities for a more fulfilling reading experience. Will you be part of the team that will make it happen?
Q: How do you plan to expand Shina into VN form?
A: There are several characters in Shina's original story, but only Jo's and Shina's were fully explored in the comic - the VN will delve deeper into other characters, possibly add new characters and story arcs into the overall plot, and even provide alternative paths and endings, all with improved illustration, character design, and storyline... The possibility is endless!
Initial script draft can be seen here -> http://vnproject.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=12 . It's in Bahasa Indonesia for now, feel free to let me know if you need an English translation (one will be posted soon).
Several chara design drafts are already posted here -> http://vnproject.freeforums.org/viewforum.php?f=16 , more could be seen at my FS gallery at http://novinha.blogs.friendster.com/photos/novinhas_doodles/index.html .
Q: Looks interesting - how can I participate in this Shina VN Project?
A: Positions needed in order to complete a VN Project are listed here -> http://vnproject.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=6.
The core positions needed to complete a VN Project are:
Scriptwriters (who make the story),
Illustrators (who make the pictures), and
Programmers (who combine the story and pictures into a VN program).
Composers (who make the songs, sound effects, and background music),
Voice Actress (who gave voice to the VN characters), and
Sound Engineers (who convert and combines all those into the VN)
are also important position, albeit not compulsory for the making of a VN.
The rest (Project Director, Producer) are managerial positions that are nice to have but not really crucial.
If you are skilled in one of those positions and are willing to join in the Shina VN Project, please e-mail or PM Novinha ( me, also the site admin  ) for more details!

Karena, kalau aku sudah ada waktu untuk mengerjakan Shina VN lagi, aku akan mencari tim secara internasional sehingga tidak kepentok keterbatasan willing, able, n committed resource pool seperti yang sekarang kita hadapi di S/A project.
In English:
Because, when someday I have time to continue working on Shina VN project again, I'd like to recruit internationally to avoid limitations in local willing, able, and committed resource pool like what we're currently facing in S/A project.
