INTRODUCTION:

Welcome to the development project page for The Fine art of Nil!

The Fine art of Nil is a surreal game, with elements of horror, comedy, abstract, absurdity and various other pretentious sounding words. Taking place in a dream-like realm inhabited by strange people and stranger monsters, you will take control of Sanna: a faceless, aimless, bandage-clad enigma, and guide them through the various zones in your bid to escape the weird, wacky and sometimes wonderful world you've found yourself in. There are choices to be made, people to assist, and giant clocks to assemble. And remember: You can always trust a white rabbit.

This has been a pet project of mine for a while now, I originally started it on VX Ace but ultimately wasn't getting what I wanted out of the ordeal. With the release of MV, however, I'm having another crack at it. This time, I'm putting my all into it. Custom sprites, tilesets, battlers, and artwork, along with custom music by Jan "Jeek" Krejsa, animations and various JavaScript plugins.

Right now, the game only has three finished maps, one fight, and will be over in a matter of minutes. The only playable section is the intro, the "tutorial" if you will. And I'm going to use that to gauge some early reception and opinions.

This page will be updated periodically as I update the game itself and release new iterations. The end goal, however, will be a commercial game. So when the game reaches a certain point (in the far, far future, of course) I will stop releasing free versions and start working on licensing and the like. I'd like for the finished product to end up on steam and digital download for a small, reasonable sum. But right now, that's all very much up in the air.

Thanks for reading! Be sure to check back regularly for updates if you like what you see here! Currently the team is very very small, consisting of about 3 people, with only one of them (me) doing the actual RPG Maker stuff. So progress might be slow for a while. Thanks for the patience!
