ALOALOCA

ALOALOCA: NO FIGHTING CHANCE is a versus fighting game visial novel hybrid currently being developed on Twine. The concept of the genre and story were first conceived in late 2014. The game was promised to allow the player to choose what character's story they will play through and choices in battle that will affect further development in the story.

The story for ALOALOCA revolves around a strange occurrence in the human body that awakens when a person has an irrefutable ambition against another, causing them to lose themselves to their rage. This occurrence is then followed by those who fall victim to it, and those who manipulate others into developing it to start an all-out war.

Gameplay
The flow of the game is similar to a text-base game with dialogue and narrative accompanied with illustrations and GIF images. Each page links to another page and some pages have multiple paths in which to continue the story. Some of the paths are choices the characters make in either conversation or for the pursuit of a destination. Other choices are during battle with an opponent, the choices being of different approaches to the fight. The layout of the battles include images as well as command inputs to showcase the performance of each character's move set.

Most of the paths offer an alternative to a simple linear experience but some can also lead to a premature ending where the main character may perish. If this happens, the player can restart from the choice right before their game over.

The beginning of the game plays out like a survey, learning the preferences of the player within the given scenarios before selecting a character for them. There are a total of 17 playable characters to choose from.

Setting and World
Main Article: Places of ALOALOCA

ALOALOCA takes place in the continent of Silhuet, comprising of multiple human "body parts" that make up the silhouette of the human body. The majority of the narrative is set within Cos, the "body", which is a large bustling city that plays as the stomach of the world.

Other parts include Vivada, the "right hand" which is a more rural plot of land steeped heavily in ancient traditions, and Truri, serving as the "brain" and northern-most part of the continent.

Cos
The city of Cos could be described as a near-modern day of a typical city like New York where the citizens pay much attention to ongoings in the news and their busy work lives. There is also transportation close enough such as the Aron Airport as well as your typical buses and trains "Cos Line A, B, AB and O" (representing blood types) and "Cos B Rails" (B for "Blood") respectively.

There is also a rich culture in higher education in Cos, including a university college and a museum, memorials for historical figures and large facilities dedicated to medicinal research. These places serve as a center of importance for many of the characters upon their journeys as the conspiracies of the plot build up.

Vivada
A rural town far off of civilization where only one single bus connects it to. The people of Vivada live in close ties with the concept of peace and tranquility and follow the Green way of the Spectrum. Their style of homes and traditional wear are like that of the ancient oriental design including doors of paper and thin woods and flowing layers of garments. Jeto Koe and his children twins Iss and Ai and Amercir originated from Vivada.

The Spectrum
The Spectrum is a law of the world where the philosophies of different people are described as colors depending on the upbringing and lifestyles of the individual. It is said that the Spectrum was created to separate the mortals from otherworldly beings, but not many believe it in this cynical world.

Green is the color of those who detach themselves from societal values to find a wholesome self within. The inhabitants of Vivada mainly follow the Green way.

Red is the color opposite of Green in that they value the connection of others through the acknowledgement and ownership of things socially acceptable and praised, in other words: trends. Iss and Ai grew apart from their family and followed the Red way.

Black is a color fabled to exist and is given to entities that shield the weak-minded from being manipulated by overpowering forces and corruption. The one tasked with this deed is Ban who calls herself "The Interference".

White is the color opposite to Black, being an entity said not to exist that breaks the conscious barrier of all humanity and rewrites their psychological makeup in their mind's eye. Those who are White are said to be faceless and take on many forms. Center Sheeka is the sole White individual. She is known as the White influence.

Blue is the color of those who are neutral to the natural order of good and evil and only exist to balance the two if ever needed. Blue individuals are manifested through the presence and flow of negative and positive energies, usually within a place many people frequent. O is a Blue entity, manifested as Onica.

Purple is the color of those who isolate themselves in self-creation, ignoring trends and wisdom of all ilk. Most of those who follow Purple are usually artists and scientists whose visions they obsess. Akeris Jay would be a clear example.
