Diaries - Choose Your Story | Aphmau Inspired Visual Novel Game

Project Overview

Diaries Choose Your Story is a remake of Aphmau's Minecraft Diaries season 1. It aims to retell the story in a way that many more people (both fans and non-fans) can enjoy.

The game will be free to play with optional donations that go towards paying fees for releases on platforms other than PC. We aim to release the game in 2020 at the latest with around 30 chapters (this is just an estimate). The game will have multiple endings (both good and bad) and 4 different routes the player can take based on what they choose.

Plot

Our world is split into regions, this region is the region of Ru'aun. Ru'aun is inhabited by humans, elves, werewolves, witches and meif'wa.

In this region, lords are the leaders of the villages inhabited by the people of Ru'aun. It's their job to take care of their village and protect their people. Lords of course can be targets for certain people, and this is why we have guards. It's a guard's job to protect their lord, even if it costs them their life.

You are a girl born with no memory of her past and no knowledge of the world around her. A completely blank slate whose fate is in your hands.

You find a village struggling without a lord after the previous lord mysteriously "disappeared." The people inhabiting the village have no memory whatsoever of the previous lord. The only thing left of him is an old house and a journal.

Slowly you begin to notice the people of the village starting to see you as a lord; even after Zenix (one of the guards of the village) had warned you not to get involved in the affairs of the village to stop this from happening.

You become lord of the village and for a period of time, everything goes perfectly. You get to know the people of the village and watch as it grows and expands. Although you face many trials as a lord, you always pull through, even in the darkest of times.

But will it stay that way forever?

Latest Updates

  • Holding more voice acting auditions

    We've decided to hold more voice auditions! If you didn't get a part in this casting call, head over to our new one. We have a lot more male roles this time too! https://www.castingcall.club/projects/diaries-choose-your-story-casting-more-voices
  • Auditions ending

    Auditions are now closed and casting has begun.
  • Almost time for the final casting

    There isn't much longer until I start the final casting. December 31 at 12 am AEST is when I'll be closing auditions. Make sure to share the project around, I want to have a good variety of applicants to choose from (especially artists).
  • When auditioning, make sure you're committed!

    To those auditioning, please remember that this project is long term. If you can see yourself wanting/needing to leave for any foreseeable reason, don't audition. It's that simple.
  • Sprite artist positions recasting

    We've had our animal sprite artist and one of the character sprite artists leave for personal reasons. This means that those positions are now reopened. This has of course delayed us as far as sprites, go considering the fact that we would like to keep a consistent artstyle for the sprites. To make it a bit easier for the new sprite artists that will replace them, I'll split auditions in to female and male sprite artists. These particular positions require you to do the sketches and line art for the female or male sprites. I'm splitting the roles due to the amount of characters required for the game. It just puts less pressure on the artists.
