Ch 1 is now voiced!

Hello TPG fans! Long time no see. I’m so sorry this took forEVER but TPG chapter 1 is now fully voiced! 

And there is a BRAND SPANKING NEW CG in Rafael’s route!

The voiced files are currently in beta, so a couple lines might be missing here and there and there may be a few sound issues. I will be keeping a master list and fixing these small problems once the lines for every chapter are in.

Go forth and play!

[interact-if]

Any VN’s with gender selectable mcs? I’ve played a few so I was wondering for more recs!

Here’s some visual novels with gender selectable MCs we found, but you can also take a peek at our itch.io collections to see if anything else catches your interest!

If anyone has further suggestions, please feel free to leave a reply and we’ll add it to the list!

[celestialcrownsvn]

can we customize the Mc's appearance? Ive never seen a VN do it before so far!

Hello there! I think a lot of VNs are opening up these customization options lately, it's really nice! I have a couple other visual novels with customization options, but the one that goes the hardest is my free VN, The Pretenders Guild! It is complete and available on itch.io. You can change the MC's skin tone, race, hair color, eye color, and even voice!

For Celestial Crowns, right now you will be able to choose the MC's body type, between male and female, and pronouns.

I am still trying to figure out how much customization I want to do, as it significantly affects the time required for CGs. Some things I've considered are allowing players to choose between the long or short hairstyle, and skin tones.

I might make more customization a stretch goal for the Kickstarter!

Drowning in blood and death the way it once drowned in magic, the French Quarter watches as  war approaches. Solemn and slow, every day it creeps closer with the tide, seeking blood and death to feed on, blood and death to spread. With all the blood spilled in these months past, one would think the blood thirst would be slaked, but instead, the old souls of the Quarter crave more. Their thirst cannot be quenched, and they will have the blood they seek. 

Members! We are delighted to release our Season Two Plot Drop, and usher VNRP into it's third year and second season. Beneath you will find information for each character regarding where they stand at the beginning of this new season. The plot drop implies a slight time jump of about a month. Current threads which take place in the interim are welcome to continue on, but any threads taking place following the plot drop, we ask to consider the time jump. As always, please read the entire post, not just the sections related to your characters. It's important for our abilities to plot with one another that we all keep up with the storylines of every character in VN, to the best of our abilities.

Regarding Marcel’s new laws, we know this will make RPing a little more difficult, but we ask that members really try to follow these rules so as to make the limitations in the Quarter feel real. Alternatively, make sure that the difficulties your characters face in breaking them are acknowledged and don’t go without consequence. These rules will not be permanent, of course. If you would like your character to break the rules, we ask that you run your intended plot past us so that we can help ensure the most realistic portrayal.   Anything in this post is a gentle guideline, and open to negotiation. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to work with you to find a mutually pleasing solution. If anyone would like information regarding the loose character arc we have envisioned for their character in Season Two, all you need to do is ask. Though we hardly need to remind you lovely people, just a gentle reminder to please strive to be as inclusive as possible as we usher in this new season, both with our new members, and the characters on our dash. The comments you leave on each other's posts are inspiring and heart-warming, and we hope the tradition continues on into our new season. Be creative, enjoy the story we get to tell together and laissez les bons temps rouler! -The Admins @ VN

Reeling from the pain of losing Davina, Marcel Gerard has gripped the spirits she left behind in a punishing grasp. The rules he implemented following the original Harvest were mere child’s play compared to the draconian martial law that rules today. No weres are allowed on the east bank, and have been banished to Algiers and the Bayou. The Mikaelsons have been placed under house arrest with a permanent vampire guard. Anyone practicing magic is subject to immediate death without trial. Lost in his grief, Marcel doesn’t care about any pain he might be inflicting; in fact, he welcomes the company. 

Like any true war profiteer, Katherine Pierce has deviated from her go-to game plan and placed herself right on the battle lines. Running hasn’t worked for her thus far, and this time, she’s going to control the cards as they fall. Playing double agent, Katherine has made herself indispensable to Marcel as the leading lady of his intelligence network. Little does he know that she’s promised the same to the Mikaelsons, who bear the brunt of Marcel’s enmity, passing valuable information about his plans their way. She’s not sure which side she’s rooting for, but she doesn’t need to be, not yet. She can make that decision when the winning party comes forward. Gia Talwar finds herself in a similar position, though she’s a lot less happy about it. Though her allegiance has always been with Elijah, Marcel had never been a bad leader before. She finds herself wanting to be there for him in his grief, part of the family of vampires rallying around their leader in his time of need, but she won’t turn her back on Elijah either. She splits her time between them, managing to pick up a position as one of the guards on the Mikaelson estate. She’s not sure exactly how far she’s willing to go to pay her debts to Elijah, and to honor the budding friendship between them, but she’ll have to figure that out, and soon. 

The Mikaelsons sit on the frontlines of Marcel’s warpath, bristling under the intense scrutiny and ever-increasing ordinances. Though sympathetic to his plight, they are not suited to meek submission, and plots and plans abound. Klaus Mikaelson seeks an alliance with Hayley Marshall, stoking the fires of her anger. With the successful hybrid transformation of Scott McCall, the sky is the limit. With war hovering on the horizon, he has dreams of an army, and the wolves that howl at the moon in reverence of their lost brother dream of blood between their teeth. Rebekah Mikaelson navigates the return of a long-lost sister, something her half-brother refuses to acknowledge, but which she is desperate to grasp with both hands. Freya Mikaelson seeks a place amongst her volatile siblings, a quest which will not be easily resolved. Or so it may seem. She is not the only Mikaelson to have found her way free from the darkness. Kol Mikaelson has been rumored to be lurking, though he has yet to be seen. Elijah Mikaelson plays mediator as ever, but his much-celebrated even temper and talent for patience test him as his siblings fracture, and let that fracture spread into the city he so dearly loves. In an attempt to placate Hayley, Elijah moves to free the Argent huntress from Marcel’s clutches and deliver her to the alpha, only to discover the Argent hunter in residence at the garden is not the huntress he was looking for. He delivers Chris Argent into the jaws of the wolves anyway, and hopes that it’s enough to slake the blood thirst he can see growing in Hayley’s eyes. Chris doesn’t deserve to die for the crimes of his sister, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t make a perfectly acceptable bargaining chip regardless. 

Hayley Marshall is out for blood, and is raising tensions in the Bayou as she calls for war against the vampires, with Marcel’s chafing rules and overzealous punishments. The witches are her first target, of course, but to root them out of her city for good, she needs to be ruling her city for good, and that means Marcel has to go. Malia Tate and Cora Hale seem to butt heads when it comes to their alpha’s plans. Malia won’t pretend that war is something she can stomach. Her family went all in, in the last Labonair war, and she lost everything for it. She’s not going to stand by and watch as her people, her family is ripped to shreds in front of her again. Not this time. Cora isn’t making it easy either, desperate to push away the people pretending to care about her. She wants blood, thinks Malia is naive to imagine this could go down any other way and that’s why she’ll stand by Hayley. But she’s done pretending that family doesn’t have to be blood, because her family is dead and there’s no pretending otherwise.

The loyalties of frienship are tested when Scott McCall reveals the true reason behind his disappearance. Both Malia and Cora are torn between fighting for their pack with the Mikaelsons on their side, and fighting the Mikaelsons for the crime they committed against Scott. Tyler Lockwood struggles with feelings of guilt for not arriving at the scene sooner. He channels this guilt into supporting Hayley’s campaign for war, mobilizing the wolves of the Bayou in her favor. The idea of war scares him, though, after the damage he saw Jennifer Blake wreak on his sister and one of his closest friends. Matt Donovan is struggling to keep up, as the depths of the supernatural world are revealed to him. His girlfriend, his sister, and his best friend, too. What other secrets are hiding out there, and what kind of role does he want them to have in his life? Equally out of the loop is Caroline Forbes, already isolated due to her self-exile, watching as the few connections she had to her old life slip through her fingers. Tyler is growing uncomfortably invested in his annoying little sister’s life—his step-sister, she is quick to remind him—and she can’t quite stomach seeing Elena. Even Stiles has gotten so busy, and she can’t help but feel incredibly alone. It’s making her act out, and just like the rest of her, Caroline’s sharp tongue is poised to kill. 

Allison Argent, after everything—the trauma with Jennifer, losing a friend (Isaac) and her father—is left to deal with her fear and her anger under her mother’s wing and Kate’s black influence. Without her father there to temper her views, they skew more towards the extreme of supernatural-antipathy. After all, vampires took her father, and witches killed her friend and nearly her as well. With Cora pushing away her attempts at friendship, and her relationship with Scott fracturing under the pressure they both face, Allison dives into her heritage, seeking comfort, but finding something else entirely. Old family friend, Dinang Prawira, struggles to secure a plan for rebuilding the Guild, caught between the kindness of the Argent women, and the extremity of their visions for the Guild. 

Lydia Martin is done being a victim of her mind and others’ schemes. She may still be healing, but she’s taking her life into her own hands. Like Allison, she searches for answers, but as Allison grows distant, absorbed in her own complicated life, Lydia must resort to research. Fortunately, she happens to be very good at it. She’s taken on Cami’s case as well, determined to figure out what is behind their fugues and time-losses. She finds an unlikely ally in Stiles Stilinski, who is stuck watching the cracks and fissures growing between his friends. Under extra pressure from J&J to find the witch responsible for the attacks, all hands are on deck. Stiles knows, however, that these things are connected and he worries that their friend group will be collateral damage to the greater forces tearing the city apart. Jaxon has noticed the two of them getting closer, and refuses to admit outloud how much it irks him. He’s not jealous of Stiles fucking Stilinski, no way. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to beat the shit out of him for it, though. Adam Sullivan finds himself in a similar position to Lydia. He’s beginning to realize that there are people in the world who might be like him. He’s determined to not feel so alone anymore, and despite being nervous about hurting people, he wants to learn about his abilities, and the people like him who can wield them. Meanwhile, Kira Yukimura doesn’t know what’s going on, but all of the people she had hoped would become her friends have suddenly withdrawn. She’s not sure how she could’ve managed to offend so many people in one go, but she can’t deny, it really hurts. 

Even as an unaware human, Charlie McBride has caught on that something is not quite right within the French Quarter. Though she can't put her finger on it, the questions are multiplying. She's been searching for the two people who might have the answers. What happened that night she'd made plans with Cami? Why was she so determined to ditch her friend? What was Cami so afraid of? And, strangest of all... Why does Stefan come to mind whenever she thinks of that night, despite the fact that she doesn't remember seeing him at all?

In the wake of the failed Harvest, the witches of New Orleans flounder. The last of their magic drained into the earth with Davina Claire’s blood, and the ancestors have yet to deign to return it. The ancestors are displeased; interlopers have come into their lands and taken what rightfully belongs to them. Stefan Salvatore is bewitched - a fitting adjective, given the truth behind the story. For in fact, the Ancestors are puppeteering Lexi’s memory for much more personal gain - Magic will not return to New Orleans until the Salem Impostors are purged from the city. The Ancestors will not see their magic be squandered on the heretics outside of their chosen coven, even if that entails leaving their own children powerless in the meantime. As for Stefan, he is merely a puppet, like Lexi. Engaged to carry out the Ancestors’ will as a vicious witch-weapon, despite the fact that it will cost him in the long-run. Damon Salvatore struggles to contain his brother’s destruction, while simultaneously trying to atone for the sins that have cut him off from any friends he might once have had in the Quarter. 

Sophie Deveraux cannot care less. She had had it right the first time, abandoning magic and the ancestors who abandoned her. To rub salt in her very fresh wounds, while tending to the bodies of the Harvest Children, something that has become a daily habit for her, Sophie realizes Isaac Lahey’s body is missing. Frederick Egrid fairs no better. Terrified that Isaac’s friend will return to finish the job, Egrid lays low, cut off from his only chance at the family he has longed for for so long. Meanwhile, Quentin Herrera is too busy struggling how to adjust to life banished from the Quarter to hunt down Isaac’s killer just yet. With his home forbidden to him, and his job as a bouncer on the line, he’s going to have to do some quick thinking to stay on his feet. Both his pride, and his livelihood, are on the line, and he’s not sure which one is most important to him just yet. 

Jennifer Blake has paid the price for her crimes: the souls she sacrificed have latched onto hers, and there’s no getting rid of them now. As she struggles for basic control of her mind, Mary Sibley struggles to hold the Salem Coven together as they face annihilation. The coven members have been disappearing one at a time, in a most gruesome fashion. They turn up with their appendages torn of, their heads decapitated, and then gently pieced back together in a crude mockery of the person they had once been. Mary vows to find the one responsible, but between holding what remains of the Salem coven together, evading attack herself, and looking after the increasingly tiresome Jennifer, she finds herself dreaming of her one tried and true tactic: run and then rebuild. The only thing stopping her is her missing Sister, Rain. She will stay for Rain and find her. Until then, she cannot be free. 

Compounding on the tragedy the Gilbert’s have already faced, Jenna Sommers has been murdered. Not, for once, by Klaus, but by a plain old human, in cold-blood. Stunned and aggrieved, Elena and Jeremy Gilbert must start their lives over once again without the family they had loved so dearly. To add insult to injury, they’ve inherited all of Jenna’s estate, including the harassment from Rogan Jones about buying the manor off their hands. It’s not a bad offer honestly, but it’s offered in cold blood, and the Gilbert kids can’t help but feel like he’s scavenging. The dirt hasn’t even settled on Jenna’s body yet. John Alden has become a permanent fixture in the Gilbert household, having finally claimed a bedroom in the old and drafty house. He is determined to provide these kids with the stability they have long since deserved, though he doesn’t know the first thing about stability himself. He struggles with nightmares, the ghost of his wife haunting him, and uncanny parallels between the life he had the chance to lead but lost, and the stolen life he finds himself living now. 

Vic Kloeckler-Kuyavar struggles with Cami’s departure from the Quarter, and the burgeoning truth of their marriage to Tajim. They find comfort in the strangest of places, the claws they swiped from Chris Argent so long ago. Still, even they can’t help with the rage and despair they feel, which only seems to be growing with every day that passes. 

In the wake of all the heartbreak, Cami O’Connell returns to New Orleans, drawn back to the City of Loss by too many friends in need. But all her weeks away were not for nothing. She’s done some digging and returns armed with an old picture and many questions. In this last-ditch attempt to make sense of the fragments of her memory, Cami launches herself into full-blown research, where no theory is too silly to consider. She begins with New Orleans’ history - supernatural and otherwise - determined this time to fend for herself, and protect her mind, once and for all.

Guild Gossip

See what I did with the title there? Ha, ha... hha

So, this week I got a lot done with The Pretenders Guild! Thanks to the wonderful @kyanjosbel one more Ash’s lines have been labeled and cut and I’m working on choosing which ones to implement into the game as we speak. Woohoo! 🎉

I’ve been steadily going through and fixing typos and such, as well as issues with how Ash is referred to depending on pronoun. 🙌🏾

⭐️ As soon as the new Ash’s lines have been optimized, I’ll be putting them into the game as well. I’m really hoping for a July release of the demo but we’ll see. It’s taken months to do just the intro, so I have no idea how long the full game will take.

✨If anyone would like to volunteer to help me label the lines using Audacity, I’d be forever in your debt, and add your name to the credits! ✨

In anticipation of the new update, I’ve revamped the itch.io page as well! Go take a look! (https://minyan.itch.io/thepretendersguild)

Guild Gossip 7/5

Made major progress this week! 

ALL THE VOICES FOR THE INTRO ARE IN! AHHHH! Now I’ve just gotta test and make sure everything sounds great. I’ve already caught a few lines that need to be re-recorded, or are too loud or too quiet. I want to make sure its perfect for you guys before it’s out 💞

I’m hoping to have a demo of the voice version out sometime before the 20th! I’ll give you a more concrete date soon. 

Did you know? This update of the intro includes FOUR new CGs! Enjoy!

[thepretendersguild]

Voiced intro coming to you!

The testing for the voiced intro is complete! I have a few line redos I need done, but as I get those, I’ll be uploading it on itch.io!

[thepretendersguild]

Guild Gossip 7/20

The intro is out! If you haven’t played already, check it out here! 

https://minyan.itch.io/thepretendersguild

I’ll be focusing on Arena Circus for a bit, trying to get the next beta update out, but once that’s done implementing voices into chapter 1 will be underway!

For those who played the new intro, what did you think of the new voices? The new CGs? Please, share your thoughts! 

[thepretendersguild]

Bug fixes!

I finally fixed several updates where Ash’s gender would not be properly used by the other characters, thanks to an Anonymous ask. These will all be fixed in the next update, which will be coming with voice acting in the intro!

Otome game routes

*Games with asterisks are ones I haven't finished playing (e.g. demo, discontinued, or episodic release)

Cinderella Phenomenon: Karma's, with Walt's as a close second. Karma is adorable. I got Karma's route first and even after trying out everybody's, I still like Karma's route. As for Waltz, it was also a good route but I feel like most of the drama happened in the backstory than the present. I still like him, though, so his route's second.

Doppelganger Dawn of the Inverted Souls: I'm not really sure. It was the first VN I've ever played so it's been a long time. I remember getting Lee's route first (mostly because I thought sticking with your best friend was the safest). Every other route was enjoyable (I unlocked all of the endings to Lee's route so it really made me dislike him). Clifford's was pretty wholesome for the most part. Blake's was chill and refreshing. Raphael's route wasn't my type but it did reveal some interesting backstory. Yuri's was the most action-packed, and most dramatic second only to Lee's. I guess I'll go with Neo's route since it has the most backstory and Lucia's character development. He's awesome objectively, but I felt drawn to Yuri the most.

Autumn's Journey: Ilmari's. Kerr grew on me and my previous self would've liked him first, but I like how Ilmari's just so interested in the heavenkind world. Then again, the thing with a close-knit trio is that it feels wrong to have a couple somehow, IDK.

The Pirate Mermaid*: The sorcerer's, obviously. Don't you wanna tease that guy?

Nova Synthesis Creaturum: Duran's. There's something about short sulky messy-haired boy-next-door types.

Reimei no Gauken*: Sin's, probably. It has the most chemistry, imo. MC who sits on the edge of a high veranda and frequently escapes responsibilities plus an asocial guy who's drawn to her for an inexplicable reason. Both mysterious individually, an even greater mystery if they end up together. Lagi's someone I wish was real and his power really make for a complex dynamic, but for me it doesn't go with my first impression of the MC's personality. Hiryuu's admirable, but I think I'd go for him if I was playing a more realistic, less fantastical game. Aito's also bound to raise an interesting route being human and I would want to protect him, just not romantically. Osamu might have chemistry with the MC, but I don't like him. Lastly, Fraser's character design is awesome, but I don't know enough about him from what I've played.

Candied Carols*: Dietrich's. It's not even a bad guy turning good or an abusive guy playing nice. It's just an admirable human...I mean, rat being.

When the Night Comes*: August's. I didn't expect to be attracted to an authority figure or even a co-worker, but the boss it is. The theme background music kills me, too. Runner-up routes would be Alkar and Omen (individually or both) but a far second.

Cute Demon Crashers: Akki's. Orias' is a far second. I like the dynamics with Akki as a whole. Orias is definitely awesome, but feels like from a different world.

The Pretenders Guild: Rafael's. Even his theme background music kills me.

Mnemonic Devices: Alto's. I mean. *gestures wildly*

Arena Circus*: I respect the devs' decisions but I was hoping for a Fenris route, if not a Lucy or Santana one. I'm kinda hoping for my heart to be broken knowing my ships won't be together as often as a ringmaster and their harlequin, or even Lilié X Natalia.

Reanimation Scheme*: Sebastien's or Aldrias'. Originally there were only 3 routes, but fans recognized Sebastien's appeal.

Andromeda Six*: Damon's for sure. I didn't even try to get his route, my choices just clicked with him. I got his route first, which kinda sucks because the others ended up paling in comparison. Bash's would've been a far second, but I don't wanna get in between him and someone else (weird cuz I'm definitely between Damon and someone else).
