Welcome to the University Of God-Science!
The smart, ambitious god-student Creo is working on his bachelor thesis. It's his last try, because in his last attempts something has mysteriously gone wrong.
His current project "earth" seems like a promising deal. But his childhood-enemy Garrick
doesn't begrudge him his success. He is up to no good, Creo suspects something...
This visual novel was a group-project a fellow student and I made in our first semester. We wrote the story and script together. Most of the drawings and the programming was my part, while she drew the backgrounds.
Topic of the task was "Space" with the framework:
1. It shouldn't play on a planet.
2. It must contain decisions which have an impact on the story.

SETTING & STORY
This visual novel is about a fight between god science students - one ambitious and one jealous. Creo is a very talented god in spe and his professor sees great potential in him. But Garrick - Creo's childhood-rival - can't bear the thought that Creo might be more successful than himself. He already sabotaged the first two attempts of Creo's bachelor thesis and won't stop until Creo's chance of success is destroyed.
Creo's new project "earth" seems to become his perfect master piece. Garrick sees no other way than doing what he's best in. But even the shy Creo - who never had enough courage to defend himself - has a red line. And Garrick is about to cross it...

BACKGROUNDS
We drew some floorplans in the beginning to plan the compositions. To make drawing the perspective much easier I've created the base structure in Blender. Later my project partner took them as reference to draw the final backgrounds.
