Ocean Whispers
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
This project is very much early days, prone to bugs, changes and generally looking ugly. It's also recommended you turn the volume down as the music hasn't been tweaked yet and might suddenly be loud!
Depending on your choices, the story of OW changes. Are you a student? Is dating a teacher too risky? Maybe you're the teacher in question, falling for someone you shouldn't? Maybe you're just a single dad and end up being caught up in a crazy romance? Or maybe you're just some random Joe who falls in love with an old man. In (the finished version) of OW, you'll be able to pick. Choose from four different backgrounds, each with their own unique stories. Pick for seven different romances (six regular and one secret!). Is one of your best friends special? Maybe you think the rich kid isn't really a bad guy? The teachers might tickle your fancy... Or maybe you'll just go for your best friend's grandpa! Hey, there's no judgement here!
The Student path will take priority over the others, however Teacher Day 1 is available to play. While the other two paths can be glanced at in the selection screen, you can't play as them yet. Renpy is a lot of work and I'm only one man! Also, I'm aware the art is terrible, I did it myself...
Be warned though: While many love stories are light-hearted and fluffy, this is one has a few darker shades. Your choices won't always revolve around flirting or bedding someone you like. Every character will have their own problems. Some will be okay without your love and attention. Others won't be. That's just how life works.
As of right now, progress on the game is slow, with version 1.5 having took seven months to create (four months longer than v1.0). I've no idea when, let alone if, I'll be able to update this. So don't get too excited. I'm also doing this for free, so don't expect the art to get better anytime soon. If I make something of this, maybe I'll set up something for donations, but right now I don't wanna waste anyone's cash or time.
With any major update, I'll be sure to modify this profile to fit. All content acquired for free. Please do not sell or otherwise try profit from this game (not that you could given it's state...). Ratings and Reviews disabled until future builds, as I'm aware it's bad right now.

You actually don’t need to make the sprites yourself y’know ;) There’s some sprites that people sell and give out that you could use. There’s also another alterative to find someone willing to draw for you! There’s also a plethora of sprite creators you can use
But I’d be willing to help you with any projects you want to work on. I’m a multi-talented creator and I do a wide range of media. I also know a few people who are helping me with my projects that I can reach out to. :) I haven’t played the game yet but I will and I bet it’ll have great writing
Promissing plot, really NOT a fan of the artwork, though...
Well, I did say I can't draw for shit. :P Never been good at it, figured if I actually made headway with this I'd try get backing by fans, but I'm nowhere near that stage yet. (might never be, lotta complications came up in the last few months)
Oh, I'm sorry to hear about the complications. Though I must emphasize my liking of the plot, it's a breath of fresh air among other VN's that fall into the same mind-numbing boring clichés. If you can, keep working on it. It truly has promise. :)
I am trying to work on it still. I'm really proud of my ideas (even if they're not in the game yet), so I don't wanna give up easily. But thanks for the praise! ^^ If you already like the plot, then I'm certain my plans for the future will please you and anyone like you even more. :3
Meow, I though that was a novel with abstract art style. =^.~=
