helianthuswelkinWHAT IS NERYSPUNTCO?
neryspuntco, stylised as (NERYS.CO), is an individual project of mine that aims to create an imaginary world, filled with imaginary people, fulfilling their imaginary roles, to tell an imaginary story. This project will look to fully develop a world, its people and its story, so people may, one day, enjoy it. It will take a life-time to make and develop, as this isn't my biggest priority in life, although I would like to have it completed before my life ends.
BEHIND THE NAME?
Nerys (Nuh-ris), pronounced as Ne of nerd (without the rd) and rees of trees (without the t), is the name I took up as I develop this story. Originally, it is a name that I recently used in online games that I have grown to like. It is apparently a Welsh name, though perhaps pronounced differently? In a sense, Nerys would be the name of the creator of this particular imaginary world. Would that make me god to those people? That's not good. (laughs)
Punt is Dutch for dot! While I was in the Netherlands, I often watched TV, where they do often advertise websites for various things, such as dating sites, travel sites, shopping sites, and more. In the Netherlands, the end of websites would always end in (.nl), in which the speaker says, "Visit us at (name) punt(.) en(N) el(L)!", and it sounded a lot more nicer to me than dot com.
Co is company! I don't really know it it's mean to show my future goal of having a proper company for this, or actually wanting more company (companionship) in this project! The whole name might even change in the future, so this would be the name for now.
WHAT'S THE INSPIRATION?
Cliche, but a lot of inspirations came from watching a lot of anime, and playing a lot of JRPG. I found myself always inspired after watching shows, after shows, after shows, and eventually, I ended up with these characters in my mind. Some of them did originated from some RPs that I did years ago, though more polished. I don't have much experience in life, though I try to use it in my characters to perhaps make it more realistic. So, in a sense, they all represent a small part of me... somewhere. Maybe not all of them. Hopefully not.
However, I don't often enjoy stories in which there are dominantly only one or two main characters, as I believe many people contribute to a story. There will be a number of characters, and some will have stronger roles over others (though, with a hopefully good reason!), but in any case, I will try to develop good people. Hopefully, I will also get over my bias over some characters! (laughs)
WHAT SORT OF STORY-TELLING WILL IT COME OUT AS?
I honestly really enjoyed the style of a visual novel. I don't consider them as proper games, so I might offend some people by saying it's more of a moving book. I'm not very good with words, and generally, I do realise that some people will struggle paying attention to a story with lots of words, and as such, I felt that combined with visuals, and good music, it would be a lot easier to captivate people into the story. Obviously, this sort of story telling will not appeal to everyone. Some will always prefer more literature, while others will look for videos. Rather than trying to get everyone, I decided to get those that are within my reach. I struggle to focus on a lot of text, and while a movie is good, it is limited. I want people to be able to play a character, make choices, and in the end, get a end that's suitable to what the player has chosen. In a sense, I want to be able to convey the idea that every little decision you make, may or may not influence what happens in the future. So therefore, hopefully, people will also learn to be more careful!
I do hope to have the option to allow people to just have a "default storyline" in which they aren't required to be involved at all. The world will not fall apart if the player doesn't do things. I think those imaginary people will be capable enough to handle their own problems. However, if played as an evil bastard, the player can actually opt to screw the story up! I believe that a story is made by many people, but at the same time, I also do believe that a person can make a lot of changes to a story.
IT SOUNDS VERY COMPLICATED!
One of my struggles is having to pick out points that are relevent and learning to leave out some finer details. I tend to enjoy thinking really deeply about the characters, and playing as them in my mind. Because of it, I do often struggle not to put too much things onto all these people, since I don't think there is much people that are distinctively very unique grouped up together, hanging out and doing things together. However, this is still a story that doesn't really take place in this particular era, and there would be a bit more "supernatural" things that go around.
The world itself will definitely have influences from different parts of the world. However, that said, I'd like to be able to abandon the idea of having different nationalities. Culture, and race will still play a part in the world, but it would be toned down. Issues, such as sexism, religion and others, they may or may not be part of the story, though that really depends on how the development of the world will go. I would like to have some parts of it included, as I realise that in certain culture, sexism does exist, and even others, religion would play a major part. But that's all a discussion for the future, once the basic details are written down.
IS THERE A DUE DATE?
Not that I know of. Probably before I die?
