Northern Academy | Visual novel (Renpy) | v0.2 (2024-02-09)

Postby AuroreNina » Tue Jan 17, 2023 8:37 am

Hello All,

I've been working on a vore visual novel as an entertaining side project and had quite fun doing so.
While it was not intended in the first place, over time I thought it would be a good idea to share it.
So, here we are.

The base story is simple. It revolves around the main character, a 18 years old girl entering college at the Northern Academy.
There, she must juggle between learning, not being eaten and get a few nice meals of her classmates and girl monsters when possible.
I guess the ambiance is close to "Vore Days" and the work from the Cute Dinner team (which I loved by the way, great games, great team).
But there are differences too (girls are a lot less willing especially).

I named the project "Northern Academy" and the first version is ready!
It consists of the first day of the story, where the main character (aka. you) arrives at and discovers the Northern Academy.

Big thanks to Bolg, DecentObserver21 and umakeisee for proof-reading the text.
I can tell you they improved it quite a lot!

Without further ado, here is the download link for Windows and Linux (64bits only): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w3wRYc ... VSbRC/view
(NB: the download button is in the top right corner of the screen)

Also, thanks to RenPy last update, I can now provide a web version hosted here: https://www.northern-academy.ovh
Just keep in mind this feature is in beta. Some browsers or configuraiton are not compatible and performances are... limited. Still, it makes the game available everywhere!

Contents
Spoiler: show
The game contains oral vore with prey and pred scenes (F/F, M/F). There is also "light cooking" scenes: some preys may be cooked before consumption (no blood, nor gore, but it features pain in some places).
Nearly (if not all) preys are females for technical reasons (I have very few male assets for the software I use to generate pictures).
Of course, there is also explicit sexual content.

TLDR - what it contain now: M/F, F/F, oral vore, vampire bite, cooking, digestion, sex, willing and unwilling preys
TLDR - what may be added in the future: animals and monster preys/preds, F/M (if possible)
TLDR - what it won't contain: cock vore, unbirth, anal vore, scat, hard vore (blood / gore)
The rest is undecided yet.

A note about backgrounds
Spoiler: show
I initially tried to add backgrounds, but I was not happy about the results.
  • First, it is hard to find a good background, which fits the story and is free to use. Having a very precise idea of what I want beforehand probably doesn't help either.
  • Second, having matching styles between the various backgrounds is nearly impossible if I grab them from different collections... which is unfortunately required to cover all places.
  • Lastly, I just couldn't find backgrounds for some location which are just too specific (maybe not in the scenes currently available in the first version, but I also checked some of the future to be added scenes).
Instead of putting backgrounds that were only remotely matching, I decided to get rid of them altogether, assuming that anyone reading "you enter the cafeteria" will immediately get a better mental representation of the place than what I could find.
I also like the idea that readers have some freedom to imagine the places they like.

Without having to worry about backgrounds, I am also able to focus more on characters' portraits which are much more important in my opinion: they are key to identify and recognize each character, especially when there is a lot of them.

This is the explanation why, despite being a "Visual Novel", the game does not contain any background.
However, I'd be glad to get your feedback on this topic, whether you hate it or you think it doesn't matter.

I'm always excited to see a new Vore Visual Novel. Especially if it's by a fan.

Imagine the best vore game you've ever played, then multiply it by ten, then multiply it by ten again and you've got a Cute Dinner Team game. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Unfortunately, the current version of RenPy no longer support 32bits.
I'll check if I can compile the game with an older version, but no promise.

Edit: well... no, it doesn't work at all, so no 32bits support, sorry.

Hello everyone,

Thanks to umakeisee and DecentObserver21's thorough proof-reading, the text has been purged from a lot of errors and misinterpretation... and it was all but useless!
Which means... the first version is now available for download!

The first post has been updated, and you can find the link there.
I hope you will enjoy the game, but do not hesitate to leave comments, suggestions and criticisms.

Outstanding Work Aurore! If our games inspired you in part to make this then it's already worth the effort!

Only real bugs I could find were trying to free Lea and the text for getting breakfast first morning is displayed twice

Keep up the good work! And let me know if you ever need help with your game!

Breakfast? You are not supposed to have the... oh crap!
Epic fail... I built and uploaded the wrong version... My bad. :?

The one you got is much more advanced. It is not tested nor proof-read...
I re-uploaded the correct one.

I'm glad you liked it though.
Please don't spoil the others.

Yes, it will come back in the future, and you will be able to play it for real next time (ie. choosing cards).
You got a preview of the next version though. The card game shouldn't be in version 0.1 but I uploaded the wrong one for a couple hours...

There will be some situations where it's a bit blurry. But yes, you are not far.
