Monthly WIP Status

We are sorry to inform you that for the next few months, we may be unable to complete anything, due to hectic schedules with urgent matters, which force us to continue work at a highly-decreased pace. However, as an apology, I shall attempt to update this blog every week with a page from the first draft of "A Dream Called 'Love'", complete with sketchings of the final illustrations.

A Small Note on Progress

Yes, we've been horrendously busy as of late. But do not fret! We, all of us, are trying our hardest in revising and writing "Ketsueki no Iro wa...", so that we might bring to you the wonderful and myseterious world of Ketsuki, the World of Blood.

P.S.; As a postscript, enjoy this preview of the game's promotional wallpaper set.

The Short Days of Summer

Shocky here. Due to the fact I was experimenting with the "Blurb" book creation software, the PDF format for the story has watermarks. I'll work on making a PDF format without using Blurb, though! Until then, please enjoy the illustrated version of "The Short Days of Summer":

Legend Lore EX Update

Gah, I'm sorry! I, Shockpulse, finally played through the game only to discover I screwed up! I'm sorry!!

Here is the new version of Legend Lore EX, with a final, completed ending:


On the old versions, if you completed the game, talking to Aramil would send you to his special place, and get rid of your walking sprite! I'm sorry! This place was supposed to be a secret place where, after you completed the game, statues of main characters and villains would appear, and pressing the "A" button near them would tell you facts and trivia about the character. However, I eliminated this from the final design plan, and Aramil would just take you to the credits, but I seem to have forgotten about him! I'm Sorry!! Please forgive me!

I also found that the Password Messenger NPC in Fylan Village used the preliminary prototype name for Legend Lore "Zero", a prequel of sorts that will explain how the land of Asgorath came to be. In future games, we hope to expand upon this mythology and legend, showing more and more of Asgorath each time, until the end of the series.

"Ketseuki no Iro" Wallpapers

Been a while since we talked about "KnIw...?" (shorthand for "Ketsueki no Iro wa..."), so I thought I'd whip up a few wallpapers for you fans to use while you wait for the game to come out. I promise, we'll start working on the final game soon! ^_^;

There's only 5 of them now, but I'll make one for every character that's in the final game, and release them shortly before the game comes out!

I'm sorry, but these are not widescreen wallpapers. When I make one for ever character, I shall make widescreen versions as well, including newer versions of these wallpapers.

Simply click the thumbnail to bring up a full-size version!

Kari^2 [Updated]


UPDATE: Whoops, did I say Summer 2010? I meant AUTUMN 2010. Sorry!

Though some of our members are working on preliminary drafts and whatnot for other works ("Mzunguko", "Shin Mahou-Shoujo K-tan", "Legend Lore 2", etc.), the entire team of KAMINARI is working together once more! This time, we're revising, writing, and illustrating the light novel we've had planned for a very, very, very long time: Kari^2!
This cyberpunk tale of mystery and intrigue is slated for (hopefully) an Autumn 2010 release, but you can never be sure what might happen to screw with the schedules! ^_^;

Legend Lore EX + Ketsueki Stories Update

It appears that we neglected to include the needed RTP engine to play RPG Maker XP games. For this, we are very regretful. Sorry! It shall not happen again (with luck).

Download the updated ZIP file for "Legend Lore EX" here:



Additionally, we have reuploaded several stories, including a brand-new one:

"Pocket Guide to Ketsueki no Sekai"
One of several "Pocket Guidebooks" put out by the fictional "Kaminari Corps", an omnipresent entity in the KAMINARI Verse. This Guidebook features information on Ketsuki, also known as "Ketsueki no Sekai", the setting of "Ketsueki no Iro wa...". Included are details of its denizens and its history (including mythology), among other points of interest.
Download:

"The Legend of Kamiko"
Somewhat spoiler-ish, one might say, but in truth it is a vital piece of backstory, detailing the true history of Kamiko, Tenko, Tanno, and Eki, the four super-powerful supernatural beings in "Ketsueki no Iro wa...". Included in this tale are the origins of how Tanno became a KAMINARI employee, the full story behind "Claire and the Lilies" (see the "Pocket Guidebook to Ketsueki no Sekai", under the Mythology section), and the details of the climactic battle that took place thousands of Ketsuki years previously.
Download:

"Ketsueki no Iro wa... - Prequel"
Another prequel to "Ketsueki no Iro", this one is centered on the Inoue siblings, explaining further on the backstory of the visual novel's Player Character. The events detailed here decribe the origins of Kyashi's delinquent attitude, as well as the animosity Rissa feels towards her brother.
Download:

"Ketsueki Otaku - Satsugai 1: Kogatana Otaku"
Chiyo/Chi, the "Kogatana Otaku", is a girl with a murderous alternate personality. Chiyo is obssessed with knives, and believes firmly that to kill someone you need not just anything, but a weapon that reflects the personality and being of the person being killed with it (so, even if she had dozens to choose from, she wouldn't use a weapon unless it was the perfect match for the murder). Chi, on the other hand, is cruel, ruthless, and enjoys inflicting massive psychological damage on her victims before killing them.
Download:

"The Short Days of Summer"
(NOTE: Not for the squeemish, or those who do not like blood, death, or the idea of 7-year-old murderers)
An original short horror story about a young girl who discovers a fun game to pass the time during one fateful summer.
