+ Can you tell me something more about AotG?
I can do better. Take a look at this!
+ What's a video novel?
In simple terms it's a combination of audiobook narration, music and visuals with lo-fi-style animations. Here's a more in-depth explanation.
+ Isn't this just a movie?
No, it's not really a movie. In a movie the visuals tell a large part of the story. In a video novel the visuals and the music set the atmosphere, but the story (the magic) is still conveyed through narration. You still get to see it in your own mind.
+ Kinetic novels have been popular for a long time!
No, it's not a kinetic (or visual) novel either. A kinetic novel is a game sold in the videogame section (for example on Steam). What we're doing is first and foremost a book, there is no game element in it.
+ How long are the book and the video novel?
The book is about 800 pages long and is divided into 81 chapters. Each episode of the video novel will cover one chapter of the book and will be around 15-20 minutes long.
+ When are you going to make this available?
Our Kickstarter will launch on October 1st.
