WIP - Melodi Opening Cutscene
I won't be revealing a LOT of sneak previews of Melodi, but when this cutscene is complete, it will serve as a teaser for the game being officially in production.
For now, may this serve as a proof of concept and an introduction into what to expect in the world of Melodi.
Melodi is being produced in RPG Maker, and cutscenes will be in this style for storytelling purposes. Not fully animated, but sort of animatic. The animatic style is very much hearkening to using Tumblr's inline image viewing system to make pseudo-animations frame by frame.
The difference between red and gray backgrounds is that red is the color of unshaped dreams, while the other is the waking world. Melodi's species may not sleep, but they can daydream very vividly.
In this scene, we are introduced to our protagonist, Melodi, the scatterbrained Ellinai ("Moon Elf"), and her History Professor, the esteemed Eliah Sterium (He is a Whimzy, magical dream unicorns).
In Melodi's universe, a slap with a ruler isn't even close to the worst things a teacher will do to their students.
[Note: I will be making a Discord server for Melodi game development, and that server will be utilized for asking questions, seeing art production, WIPs and other things, as well as information about how you can support the production of Melodi, be it financially, technically (teaching me how to RPG Maker) or simply with vocal support. It will also have channels for discussion on different topics such as characters, lore, fan art, draw-along streams, spoiler discussion and theories about upcoming story beats. I'll be posting here when the Discord is created and I hope many of you join! Please keep in mind that the game is very violent and raunchy, but is not pornographic. It will be rated M but will not contain nudity. Sexual references, yes, but visually speaking it will not contain porn. I just wanted to make this clear right away before moving forward in production with the game.]
