Today is not the last day of VN but rather the reminder that it went so far and did so much. You guys achieved something so rare and worked hard to do so. Congrats and all my love! Also, please do let me know where I can find you, if you write somewhere or open anything else. You’ll always have my support and admiration in anything and I do hope to write with the three of you in the future!!

Cara!!

Our apologies for the late reply. Thank you for your kind words, they mean so much to us! We are certainly proud of what we accomplished together with all of our members here at VN (yourself included!), and while all good things must come to an end, we are grateful that we got to close this beautiful roleplay on our own terms, as it entered its third year of activity on Tumblr. 

Some of us are continuing with our characters and storylines behind the scenes, and our OOC will continue to remain open for current and former members (for all those interested - just message us for the link!).

Furthermore — We want to take this opportunity to let everyone know that we will be making our character bios private on the main, in order to protect our written content. However, If anyone would like to see a particular bio, please let us know and we’d happily share the relevant link! 

Thank you again for the touching message! 

Much love xx

I just want to throw a small bit of love out to Kailey. John's such a complex and deep character, and she pulls him off flawlessly. I always jump on his threads ASAP and check them out. Besides that, she's one of our amazing admins, is always completely on top of things, and helps to make this rp the amazing place it is. Anyways, just wanted to give compliments where they're due. Stay awesome, Kailey xx

Wow, Tatum, I’ve got tears in my eyes, this was so touching. I don’t even have words :’3 Thank YOU so much, for your kind words, but also to everyone here for making VN such a rewarding and special place to be a part of. So much work goes into VN behind the scenes, not only from the admins but from all of you who put in your time and effort every day to continue writing this story. It means the world to me, and to Rose and Rimsha as well, that we get to share that with you.

Final set of art details for the VN!

First of all, here is our wonderful team of artists and what they're working on! Give them a follow if you like cool art on your dash :)

@strangeomens-sketch - Jason

@of-devils-and-drawings - Bo & Vincent

@our-sinister-night - Bubba (& family)

@gooreyguts - the Ghostface boys (slightly AU; older, never got caught)

@labellecorbellesansmerci - Thomas (& family) & Secret Guest #2

@icyhazardx - Freddy

@gelicide - Asa

@snaxk - Jesse (& Spann?)

@ghost-thot69 - Brahms

@buttered-ghost-toast - Michael & Secret Guest #1

Parameters

I'm sure we're all familiar with visual novels & dating sims.

As stated before, I'm looking for 3/4 body portraits with transparent backgrounds; size doesn't matter too much because I can resize them in the program (canvas 600x800), but something on the bigger side is better (due to image quality loss if I need to enlarge them).

Poses can remain the same or mostly the same (I'll leave that to your discretion) with varying expressions, which include: neutral, happy/pleased, angry/scary, nervous/embarrassed, sad/disappointed, surprised, and annoyed, in a combination of masked/unmasked depending on the character. (Also, I know we didn't talk in-depth about family members/associated secondary characters, so just let me know if that doesn't work for you.)

Jason - Masked: all (he'll be wearing it most of the time). Unmasked: neutral, nervous, happy, surprised, and sad.

Bo - No mask for him. Add a devilish/sly expression.

Vincent - Masked: all (he'll be wearing it much of the time). Unmasked: neutral, nervous, surprised, happy, and sad.

Bubba - Masked: all. Unmasked: none(? I think he wears his mask all the time? I'll leave it up to you whether you think he'd take it off and whether that's something you want to tackle). For his family, I think I'd just need neutral, happy, and annoyed, depending on the person - again, I'm not super familiar, so I'll leave it to you.

Ghostface - Masked: neutral, angry, surprised, annoyed, happy. Unmasked: all. Add devilish to both categories. (This goes for both boys.)

Thomas - Masked: all. Unmasked: neutral, nervous, surprised, happy. Luda Mae: neutral, happy, annoyed. Hoyt: neutral, annoyed, angry, happy (fake). Monty: just a neutral one should do.

Fred - No mask here either :) add devilish.

Asa - Masked: neutral, scary, annoyed. Unmasked: all. (I usually prefer to use his second actor, conceptually, but I'll leave it up to you.)

Jesse - Masked: neutral, scary, surprised, annoyed. Unmasked: neutral, happy, disappointed, surprised, annoyed. Add devilish to both categories. Spann: neutral, happy, nervous, disappointed, surprised, annoyed.

Brahms - Masked: neutral, scary, happy, shy, sad (fake; dramatic), surprised, annoyed. Unmasked: neutral, happy, sad (fake; dramatic), nervous, surprised, annoyed, devilish.

Michael - Practically always masked and doesn't know what emotions are. Masked: neutral, scary, curious/surprised. Unmasked: same, plus annoyed.

Secret Guests - I'll be in touch privately.

I'll leave expression of those emotions up to your creative direction, but if you've got questions or want to run something by me, just let me know. (If I end up needing something additional as the story progresses, I'll let you know.)

I'm not sure of the timeline - you've got at least a couple months while I get the story written - but I do know I'll need Michael, Thomas, the twins, Freddy, and Secret Guest #1 sooner than the rest, and Brahms, Jason, Secret Guest #2, Bubba, and Ghostface later than the rest.

I will also need Harry Warden at some point in that latter grouping, but since he's not currently assigned we'll cross that bridge later (this way if someone wants to jump in later, I've got something for them). Same for Secret Guest #3, who I just decided to include while writing this post.

If anyone has questions, or if I missed something, or whatever - you know several places to find me. Thanks again for joining the team, I'm honored to be working with you! :)

[stay-outta-my-blood-circle]

Okay here we go!!

I'm tagging those of you who expressed interest in contributing art to the visual novel project, and I'm supplying details below. If for any reason you do not want to participate, that is totally cool.

Tags: @strangeomens-sketch, @our-sinister-night, @labellecorbellesansmerci, @gelicide, @ghost-thot69, @of-devils-and-drawings, @gooreyguts, @icyhazardx, @snaxk

Details:

What I need are character portraits (3/4 body) with transparent backgrounds, showing a set of 8 emotions, of which I have made a list (poses can stay the same or mostly the same with differing expressions).

(Some event stills would be cool but I don't wanna put you guys out, so I'm not asking for those unless it's something you want to do.)

Here is the list of characters I'm including. My plan is to have one artist for each slasher/setting (i.e. if you wanna draw Thomas' portraits, I would like a couple of Luda Mae and Hoyt too).

If you're on board, I'd like you to give me your top three character picks so I can figure out who's doing what.

You'd have at least several months to complete the art, since I technically don't need them until the game is almost done, and that will take quite a while. (If you're wanting to work on one of the bonus characters, you'll have even longer.)

There is a Discord server. If you would prefer not to join and to discuss the project in DMs instead, that's okay.

If anyone else wants in, it's not too late - just let me know!

[stay-outta-my-blood-circle]

Just curious, how’s the visual novel coming along? :) I hope it’s survived the clusterf*ck of 2020

Lol, it's only been three months since it was announced, it wasn't even a thing in 2020 🤣

It's going fine! Some of the artists have even finished their character work already. I've done some plotting and a little writing, and once all the art is done I can continue programming.

I definitely think it probably won't be finished until next summer, at the earliest, unless I really manage to knock it out of the park writing wise. Thanks for checking in! 💛

Visual novel updates

Firstly, I'll be using #vntalk for these posts, just in case anyone is already sick of hearing me talk about it and wants to block it out.

Secondly, I'm currently working hard on solidifying my vision for this project and getting organized in terms of what I need to get done and what I'm looking for from contributors. That said, here are some general updates:

I have been keeping a list of those of you who mentioned wanting to be involved, and will be gathering people together once I've got a plan (I'll make a discord, but it'll be up to you if you want to join or not), hopefully soon. (No pressure if you change your mind or whatever.)

For the sake of keeping things manageable, I've decided to remove a few characters from the roster I'd planned to use; they'll still make their way into the game, but not as part of the main storyline. They'll be released as bonus routes later on.

(As of now, the plan is to keep Michael, Freddy, Thomas, Bo, Vincent, Jesse, and Asa - plus one surprise guest - in the main storyline, while Harry Warden, Brahms, and Jason would get bonus routes.)

Once that's all done, I will also consider adding bonus routes for characters I'm less fond of/familiar with, like Ghostface, Bubba, etc - because I know a lot of people are fond of them and would like to see them in something like this.

Freddy will actually have a pretty large place in the story, along with our special guest.

The story is more visual novel than dating sim, but there will be some elements in there for sure. When asked to make an important choice, you'll have 3 options - one that gets you a bad end pretty much right away, one that's neutral, and a good one, which will earn you an affection point. Three affection points with a character will get you their good (possibly steamy?) ending.

I've never done anything like this before, so bear with me while I figure things out xD It's a big undertaking but I'm very excited, and I hope you are too! I'll continue to update you guys on progression and what to expect. Questions, comments, suggestions, etc are always welcome :)

[stay-outta-my-blood-circle]

Due to that reblog of Many Paths, I have to ask how progress is going?

I know you were saying it's going to take a minute.

Progress has momentarily slowed a bit due to some personal circumstances that have popped up, but it's still going!

It's complicated working on multiple storylines that intertwine in places, not to mention branching decision paths, plus there's putting together the game itself, so yeah it's gonna take a while 😓 I'm very excited to think about the finished product though!

[stay-outta-my-blood-circle]

Hey, I was curious if there's anything new with the interactive story(?)

Every since I first saw you post about it I've been excited about it.

I hope all is well!🖤

Hi! Things are progressing steadily - the art team is doing awesome work and I've been acquiring backgrounds/plotting routes. Development is a fairly slow process though, so it'll still be a while before I can give a projected release date.

I'm glad to hear you're looking forward to it! I'll try to post updates occasionally just so you all have an idea of what's going on. 😁

[stay-outta-my-blood-circle]

For story purposes I'm working on short lists of things each slasher would value/look for in a significant other. I have a few ideas already but I'm about to come around to fellow writers' inboxes for opinions (if you're so inclined). 💛

[stay-outta-my-blood-circle]

If anybody has any good quality images of the Hewitt house or surrounding area that I could use as backgrounds, send em my way.

I took some screencaps from the movie but the only file I could get was low resolution.

[stay-outta-my-blood-circle]

Okay, it's working for one person, at least. I'm going to assume I fixed the problem, so if anyone else encounters an issue please let me know. <3

I am trying to get this fucker to work for y'all. Getting it past your antivirus is up to you (I did not place a virus in it nor have I been attacked by one myself, so it should be safe), and after that you'll have to extract it, since I had to make it into a .rar file. Hopefully if you have both the .exe and the extension it will run, but if not I'll have to look into other attached files or possibly a directx installer. Not sure yet; this program did not tell me I needed to pass along anything in addition to the executable. We are in fuck around and find out territory.

[vieuxnoyesrp]

after reading through your VNtalks tag and being completely blown away, i just can't resist but to apply. i've never seen so many people supporting each other in a group before, honestly. it's like a breath of fresh air. I have my eye on the queen, herself, katherine, but even if she doesn't end up being available for applications, I'll definitely apply for someone else because this honestly looks too good to miss out on.

Wow, Anon! What a lovely message to find in our inbox, thank you! We really are quite fortunate in our VN Fam. The support and love in this group is really astounding and such a wonderful thing to get to be a part of. We’re so happy that you found us and we’d absolutely love to see an app come in! 

[vieuxnoyesrp]

After a little more time away, we are back with our Player of the Month award! Here, we recognize an individual roleplayer from our cast on a monthly basis. The criteria on which this recognition is dependent includes (but is not limited to) the following:

IC

Dedication (Player demonstrates consistent and reliable activity on their character/s.)

Plots (Player takes initiative and immerses character into plots with a variety of other characters, without limiting these to particular connections.)

Depth and Development (Player has a vested interest in portraying all aspects of personality; including flaws, weaknesses and the unenviable, nitty-gritty sides to one’s character. Player digs deeper beneath the archetypes that describe the given character and uncovery hidden layers that change through gradual and realistic development.)

OOC

Inclusivity (Player roleplays with everyone, without advertising a preference for certain characters or prioritizing certain replies above others. Player shows an open willingness to plot with old and new roleplayers, without playing favourites.)

Maturity (Player responds well to admin feedback and treats everyone with respect, without exception or discrimination.)

Good spirit (Player is friendly, approachable, and demonstrates a great attitude overall.)

Along with these general factors, each roleplayer is given a personal statement of appreciation specific to their portrayal and their character. The most important criteria for nomination however, are those traits listed above. Recognition for a role will last one whole month and be posted on the Main’s side-bar.

Without further ado…

         ⚜  C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S,   A D D I E !  ⚜

Addison! You’ve blessed the group with your presence for a few months now, and there’s not a day that goes by that we aren’t grateful for it. You have an exquisite ability to nail a character’s voice and dialogue - be it Hayley’s snark or Mary’s enigmatic and underhanded charm. We’re also given insight into the multiple layers beneath these surfaces as you show us the complex and often conflicting thoughts that your characters have beneath the surface. Hayley and Mary are both strong-willed, dominant characters, and these types of personalities come with many cliches that we’ve all seen before. You’ve successfully steered clear of all of these pit-falls and we admire you for it.  In short, we’re hooked.

Beyond that, and of even greater value to the group, is the fact that you’ve made attempts to reach out and roleplay with all of our members indiscriminately. We understand that this must have been intimidating, given that most of our roleplayers have been around for many months before you entered, and so your effort was even more notable and appreciated as a result. Moreover, you’ve been nothing but sweet and thoughtful towards every player, OOC.  Your humbleness as a writer together with your quiet dedication to development has really brought your characters’ humanity to life, without relying on the crutch of heavy prose. Similarly, your thoughtfulness is clear both in how carefully you choose your words OOC, but also through the attention and care with which you’ve crafted your muses.

For all these reasons and many more, we recognize you as the eighth recipient of our appreciation award; “Roleplayer of the Month”. Though this is a humble recognition that does not come with material gifts (we wish!) or much fanfare, it is offered to you with all our love and gratitude as admins. Thank you for being such an integral part of this roleplay!

Love,

~ The Admin Team @ VN
