This concept art was done courtesy of ProjectHazard from Deviantart. While the previous picture is closer to the version of Nazaru that was settled on, this does a fantastic job showing Nazaru's power. You really get the feeling he's this powerful supernatural being that could bring worlds to ruin if he so chose.

Role: Programmer (Type the story and the branching paths in the game) Currently a senior new to twine Want to use the skills gained from this course to be able to work on other types of games in the future.

This is a concept art of Nazaru's sisters. We didn't settle on the names before doing it, which is why they're called Verona and Aleera. The Artwork was done by TheJesterMime on DeviantArt. While having their bodies be the same color as their elements (Fire and Ice) is interesting, it'd be hard for them to interact with mortals when they have blue and red skin. So it was decided they have human like skin..

We just finished the second scenario for our game. We'll be adding it to Twine to implement the story and put it in a choice branch format. Scenario 2: Nazaru vs the Yuki Onna (Having agreed to his younger sister, Konhon’s plan to collect as many souls as quickly as possible, the two of them go through the snowy mountains of theYamagata region of Japan. Konhon had told him of stories of hundreds of men finding themselves trapped in a blizzard, never to be seen again. They had hoped to capture their wandering souls) Nazaru: (Walking alongside his sister in heavy snow) Are you sure this is the place? Konhon: Of course. I asked a few people about these tales.

Nazaru: If this proves to be a waste of time, know that I will turn you back into the flame you once were before I made you and Kori. (Suddenly Konhon’s foot hits something and she digs thro...

A while back, I asked a friend of mine named, Wingzerox86 to do a sketch of my character, Nazaru to serve as a visual example of what he would look like. All and all, I enjoyed the work he did.

My partner, Austin, and myself have started working on the scenarios that our narrative game will have. Here, the Shadow King has decided to bargain with someone in exchange for their soul. An alternate scenario will be shown in the near future. King of the Shadow Realm Scenarios 1. Scenario 1: Yong the Gambler (Nazaru opens a portal to a jewelry store) Nazaru: Hello, Yong! Yong: (Yong took a few moments to gaze at the tall stranger. He saw the red mask that had pupil-less orange eyes surrounded by black painting. A dozen gold dots where a person’s left eyebrow should be, separated into 2 rows that went down to his cheeks. The orange lines on his forehead that had a green dot over it. His fangs that was as long and sharp as knives. He gazed as his body that was as black as the void and the tendrils surrounding his waist, as well as golden claws and on his hands and feet. Finally he noticed the katana with an ebony blade. Yong had finally realized, he was in the presence of the Shad...
