[bralameda]

 

Greetings!

The Russian-language forum of developers games for adults "Albedo" is organizes the Visual Novel Competition 2020. We invite all creative people - developers, programmers, writers, artists. Despite the fact that the main conditions of the competition is the development of the game in russian language, this should not prevent people to cooperating in friendly creative teams and creating new and interesting games!

 

The aim of the competition is to train the use of artistic and narrative means in game development. It was for this that the format was chosen according to which the competitive games should be developed - the format of visual novels.

Many creative people can write a story or a novel; any author can choose an illustration. And a visual novel does not require complex gestures in programming: you can even organize your work in the format of an interactive book-game.

Приветствую всех!

Русскоязычный форум разработчиков игр для взрослых "Альбедо" проводит Конкурс Визуальных Новелл 2020.

Мы приглашаем принять участие всех творческих людей - разработчиков, программистов, писателей, художников. И хотя одним из главных условий конкурса является разработка игры именно на русском языке, это не должно помешать людям кооперироваться в дружные творческие команды и создавать новые и интересные игры!

 

Цель конкурса - тренировка использования художественных и нарративных средств в разработке игр. Именно для этого был выбран формат, по которому должны разрабатываться конкурсные игры - формат визуальных новелл.

Написать рассказ или роман могут многие творческие люди, подобрать иллюстрацию может любой автор. И визуальная новелла не требует сложных телодвижений в программировании: можно даже в формате интерактивной книги-игры организовать свою работу.
