VISUAL NOVEL ‘DUSTBIN DREAMING’ A BULLY STORY

People at the stage of adolescence may reject help and advice from their peers or elders
as an effort to grow independent. At this era of technology, most teenagers will have
come in contact frequently with electronic media such as smart phones and computers,
and some may even see them as their only pillar of support. This project aims to support
and advice this type of schooling teenagers, of age thirteen to seventeen, on at least one
issue that many of them will meet in their school life, and that is bully. Also, this project
hopes to rekindle reading as an attractive hobby. This project aims to create a Visual
Novel titled ‘Dustbin Dreaming’ to achieve the above objectives.
A visual novel is a work of interactive fiction which features clever usage of static
graphics such as anime-style art, live-action stills, and sometimes video footage. The
specialized platform that will be used to construct the game is called the Ren’Py engine.
In addition, supporting tools such as Adobe Photoshop will be used to acquire image
and sound resources for this project. This project is expected to be completed within 6
months of time by the end of November 2012.
