Sky Levels

(Updated, December 2024: Sky Levels Visual Novel is currently on hold as I focus on my main project, Lost Anomaly, launching on Steam. For now, I’ll continue working on the Webtoon only as a hobby whenever I can. It’s a fun way to improve my skills and explore new ideas. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy creating it! Follow me on BlueSky for more updates.)
 

• Webcomic
• Visual Novel

The Webcomic can be read on:

• Webtoons
• (Coming Soon in-game...!)

The Visual Novel can be played on Desktop, only only Windows for now... the test version contains only 10 to 15 minutes of gameplay and serves as a preview of Episode 22, "Underlights City".  The 3D exploration mechanic is already available at the end of the episode. I'm still working on the 3D models, coding, soundtracks, narrative, and other elements. Apologies in advance regarding the writing.

NEW, (28/09/2024) — Due to changes, the order of episodes will change. Episodes will be shorter, but there will be many more.  Season 1 "Lost Anomaly", both Webcomic and Visual Novel, it is estimated to have a minimum of 80 to 100 episodes. Although the game hasn't been updated yet, the new episode order will be: 

• Ep 1 - Drifting Away
• Ep 2 - Abandoned Building
• ...
• Ep 14 - Dark Train
• ...
• Ep 22 - Underlights City
• Ep 23 - Good Company
• Ep 24 - Home Found
  
• ...
• Ep 28 - Hoverboarding
• ...
• Ep 35 - Until Dark
• Ep ~60 - Anomales Team
• Ep ~85 - Tactical Strike
• Ep ~90 - Source Control

Season 2, "HiSky"
Season 3, "Unknown Hunter"

• Save File Notice: Save files may become incompatible with future updates. However, a system will be implemented to allow you to start from the latest updated scene.

• Narrative: Main story is planned to include 3 chapters with several episodes. As the game is in its early development phase, the story may change and evolve over time.  Also, the narrative is linear, which means there's no special or different routes.

• No Dialogue Rewind: Unlike typical visual novels, for now, this game won't allow going back in dialogue due to the  integration of 3D exploration, puzzles, and an inventory system. Nonetheless, I'm planning to implement this feature in the future.

• Game Size: Although this test version contains only a few minutes of gameplay, the large size of the game is due to the inclusion of Surface and Environment Textures, Audio Files, 3D Models, and Others, that are not yet utilized.

• Game Optimizaztion: Each VN image ranges from 100 to 200 KB. Due to the large number of images in the game, all VN images are loaded and read in real-time, rather than being stored in GPU memory.

System Requirements:

• Minimum
  • OS: Windows 10 or Greater
  • DirectX Version: 12
  • Storage: 500 Mb
  • RAM: 2 GB Memory
  • GPU: (Untested)
  • CPU: (Untested)
