First Entry, Third Attempt

Welcome one and all to the first ever post devblog for our third attempt at a Visual Novel Studio!
Welcome to Arrival Studios DevBlog!

“Wow, that sounds sad,” you might be thinking, but worry not!
Every project should have its ups and downs; its comings and goings.
After all, who would take “GreatVNBoogaloo” as a serious name anyway?
That’s right - VN is in there,
since we here at Arrival Studios we have gathered talents from all over this wondrous world to collaborate and develop Visual Novels!

Anyways, let’s move past all that silliness.

Today we have had fantastic news, and therefore are able to create this blog for you all.
Here
at Arrival Studios, we have finally gotten our act together, and figured out exactly what we need to be doing, so without further ado I’d like to introduce to you dear readers some information on one of our current projects:

Saint Nicolae’s Academy For The Exceptionally Gifted

I know, I know, long title, but well worth it.
To get us started off, we figured we’d try one of those traditional
high school based Visual Novels.
We’re just doing it with a bit of a twist...
A snippet:
“A long time ago, a man named Nicolae founded a one-classroom boarding school called “St. Nicolae’s Academy For The Exceptionally Gifted”. It is important to point out that Nicolae is in no way a true saint, but is rather a title he bestowed upon himself. He stated that he would only accept the most gifted of students, and while many applied, only one or two were ever accepted each year. Those select few and their talents could not be denied, and over the years, St. Nic’s, as it is now commonly referred to, has expanded into a fully fledged, fairly respected academy.
St. Nic’s still retains i’s low acceptance rate and devotion to quality students. Still there is something off about the attendees. Enter our brave
main character, Rio. Arriving at the academy to complete his senior year, Rio immediately notices that something is off about his classmates and teachers. His roommate, for example, opens doors without moving a muscle, and often enough floats apples across the room so he doesn’t have to get up for a light snack.”

We have five romanceable
heroines, complete with good, bad, and neutral endings, and each one as diverse as the students and other characters you will meet.

We hope this gives you enough insight to pique your curiosity, and we look forward to updating this blog regularly and with plenty of information. Thank you for taking time to read this and we hope you enjoy!
