Hey, I'm Nick Shutter, better known as Silent Cicada! I'm the guy that did that Yume Nikki Reimagined album. Now that THAT big project is out of the way, it's time for another!

I'm currently developing a short visual novel adaptation of the classic nursery rhyme Jack & Jill!

Mother Dearest is bedridden with illness, so you must guide Jack and Jill through the dark, dark woods to fetch the water. Unaccustomed to the territory, they soon become lost. Can you get both children to the well and back? And what creatures wait in the forest?

I'm making it with Novelty and it will be fully animated - everything from laughter to standing cycles are animated to some degree, as well as backgrounds. Interactions between characters (passing of objects, death sequences, etc.) get their own unique animations as well. I expect the release date to be in late 2016 or early 2017.

I'd like to see what's up but gamejolt doesn't seem to want to load for me. Can you provide pictures?

Sure! Unsure if these will show up as proper animations or not, but here are some character cycles.

Well, this look fantastic.

Thank you very much! More news:

• All character dolls are finished! Except for Mother Dearest but that one’s minor. Now they just need animated, and that’s the hard part.

• I haven’t touched the program beyond that first demo and honestly still need to learn how to use it. I don’t even know how to make menus and choices! I’ll learn though, I swear.

• All plot points have been finalized and just need written now.

• The visual novel was already going to be short, but it’s going to be even shorter than expected. That’s just the nature of the beast, I guess? I want the pacing to feel right, and making it any longer would drag things out. I won’t know exactly how long it’d take to play through but I think it’d probably be 15 minutes or less to get to an ending.

• Soundtrack is complete! It’s pretty short but features music by Master of the Subway Ninjas, Our Star Is Dying, Knight of Fire, Bull of Heaven, Nick Shutter (me), and Villdyret!

• Seven endings.

• Ideas for a second, unrelated visual novel are forming.
