Good evening my name is TechKraus otherwise known as Kraus

At the current moment I'm working on a Visual Novel centered around the OS (Operating System) wars of the late 90's and early 2000's with the use of OS-tans!

For those who do not know what an OS-tan is go here ---> http://ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Now you are probably wondering "What the hell is a Visual Novel?" and to put it simply, its an interactive novel that can be mixed along side many other genres of games to tell the player a story that they have a decisive role within. As the story progresses the player will have to pick from two or more choices that can result in a number of consequences and rewards for the player that happen either immediately or later on. Visual Novels are commonly played in Asia with it being most dominate in Japan where it originated and largely features the anime/manga art style also from Japan.

Story intro:
In the year 2000 a war is being fought between two different factions in the vast land of The United States. The first faction being Apple, a somewhat older computer company that revolutionized how the industry worked in more ways than one and The Legion of MS, a twelve year-old company that had swept up virtually all of the home and business market in just a handful of years. These two have been locked in a viscous war since 1995 when The Legion took on a new heir to the family and ignited the massive military coup which overthrew Apple’s reign within the US market. This war will be entering the most trying time for both factions, Apple has been pushed to its final stronghold Cupertino as The Legion amasses its formidable force along the contested border. As a newly published program you are being scouted to become a commander on the battlefield where the final showdown is looking to take place. Will you take a stand against the formidable Legion alongside Apple or look to penetrate the defenses of Cupertino and reap glory for The Legion as it shows its dominance? The choice is yours, commander.

Here is a really rough demo I put together a couple of weeks ago that is still a far ways off from where I want this game to go.
