The beginning of a project

I've begun this blog to track the progress that me and the team are making on Magical Schoolgirl Love Tale (Temp.).

The project originally sprang to mind after playing a few VNs, and me and others being silly and poking fun at anime/otaku culture stereotypes.
In true LD fashion, this was done in all caps.

So, I began planning characters. The main characters all had personalities that are the inverse of their power. They were the Lazy Energymancer, the Unrestrained Chaingirl, the Cold Pyromancer. However, we felt we hadn't yet scraped the bottom of the barrel, so we did, and threw in a Catgirl. Someone else came up with the suggestion that we took and ran a thousand miles with: A shy protagonist with the power to attract women, regardless of if he wants it.
However, we then began thinking of what would happen if we actually made this. We took each of the characters and expanded on their personalities. We gave each one a backstory, and thought about what problems their personalities would bring to the protagonist. We tried to make each into a real person.

Currently, we are still planning the First Act. This is where all the characters feature to some degree or other, and where the player must choose which path to pursue.

We at this moment refers to me, who is doing most of the writing the planning, and the other team member, currently writing and producing music and moving the script onto the Ren'Py engine.

I hope to update this blog at least weekly, to keep track of where we are in this project.
At this point we have been working seriously on the project for about two weeks.
