Some Details

Greeting readers! This is the first true post on the "Chord Progression" dev blog, and we hope it helps unveil a little bit of info for you. To start, Stewart-Class 7 or SC7 studios was formed solely to create this  VN, we were inspired very much by Four Leaf Studios' project Katawa Shoujo, and want to create something just as meaningful and well done. The first steps are small ones, and certainly there are times when it seems foolhardy to even consider what we are undertaking, but we shall press on. This all being said, here's what we have for you today:

1. Thus far our team consists of our two founders/path writers, and one artist. That means we are looking for talented artists and writers at this point. We would also consider taking on someone to "advertise", or help get people all over the web to notice this project. In the future, composers, animators, and more will be needed, so stay tuned if that's your field!

2. Plot details. What we have on chord progression thus far:

• Chord Progression is the story of Seth, a young college musician who is struggling to really find his path in life. Players will determine whether Seth falls in love, continues his passions, goes on to study, and more; Ultimately, it is a romantic game, with a deep focus on the psychology of individual characters.
  
• Character Info SETH: Seth is an intelligent and talented man, with a wide variety of interests especially rooted in "the arts". He is flawed in the way any person is, and often recognizes this rather easily. Very outgoing, but also enjoys silence and being alone quite a bit. He has a deep underlying depression that he isn't fully aware of, and in some of the paths this specifically will be explored. More to come!

• Character Info LAYLA: One of Seth's potential love interests and a main character in our story, Layla is a reclusive shut-in. Bouncing from foster home to foster home after a tragic incident involving her parents (still working on it), Layla found her freedom at age 18 to be new and terrifying, and came to cling to a young man she had met some time after leaving her last home. We're still writing on her background at this point, and we have ideas of how she was traumatized, and things involving the man she lived with after turning 18. He definitely abused her in some way, but we see it running deeper, at this point we're thinking he may have distributed or prostituted her; only a few days in on her writing thus far.  We DO however know that when Seth meets her, he becomes entranced by her song-writing, and eventually she opens up to him and (possibly) becomes vocalist for a group Seth plays in.
  

Character Info THE ADDICT: Haven't settled on a name yet. Not many details beyond that she is a love interest who prefers to be alone most of the time. The big thing however, is that she is a heroin addict. Why? What caused this? We have so many ideas that at this point putting them out there would be futile lol. We do know at one point Seth may have the option to... "understand" her. What you take out of that, is up to you, but it certainly will be moving and not positive ;)

Other Character Info:

• The Opportunist: Love interest who's theme is the idea of "Living In The Moment". Helps Seth and his spontaneity, and is a happy-go-lucky ball of curiosity.
  
  MORE TO COME TOMORROW! :)

As you can see, we're just starting all of this, and have a long way to go. Interested in helping us out? Send us a message on facebook, or email us at stewartclass7studios@gmail.com
