In-Verse

In-Verse (formerly In-Verse Productions) is a Writing Company, Video Game, Slot Machine and Visual Novel indie developer company founded by Sonikku Aensland in 2010. However, more known since 2014, as the developers of the acclaimed Feast of the Black Strings. (Which is also the first Game which came in Physical form.)

Its games are original ideas made by the writer and creator itself. And also has a subsidiary named Shiny Star Games which acts as a Publisher.

In January 20, 2015 In-Verse Productions announced that changed their name in April 1, 2015 as just In-Verse.

History
Pauly-kun started writing stories before entering to the internet in December 2005, but were only small fragments in Spanish, later in 2006 just small concepts, but as for July 2007, wrote The Adventures of Vanessa. Which would span six more short stories, it would not have other static series until 2011 and said year she entered in the internet with VSRFX and in 2012 with Devil's Eye, 2013 with Dream Revolution and Re: Vengeance, which made her a little more known, but it wasn't until June 2014 that, Feast of the Black Strings, her what if could be the "last work" of her life, and her introduction to the public made In-Verse a little more known. "In" and "Universe" are the core words that the writer have to mix. "Verse" is short of Universe but also another word, so the pun is basically this "In-Verse" is "In Universe or In Verse". The word was Coined in October 12, 2013, but not confirmed until November 24 of the same year.

Subsidiaries and teams
All of these things are fictional and NOT REAL!!! In-Verse's best game in terms of Critics is Black Strings Carnival: Last Song with a 98 followed by Dream Revolution: Last Fire with 95, and their worst games were VSRFX Gaiden with 62, followed by In-Verse Heroes: Mega Battle Evolution with a 65, the most anticipated games are The Legend of Vanessa, followed by Fight it Out! and DMotNIII: Of the End.

Localization
While pretty open in localizations to America and Europe, In-Verse's games rarely get an Japanese or Australian release, most likely due to copyrights/authorship or lack of interest from the author or the companies.

However, two companies have shown interest in exporting these games in said territories.


 * Orange Soft - Japanese Distributor/Publisher
 * MasGaling Studios - TBA

Style
Pauly-kun is known by her stories mixing dark and lighthearted stories into one, single work, some references are based on her ordinary life, others, taking inspiration of professional video games, manga, cartoons, etc. And the frequent female protagonists.

For Example The Adventures of Vanessa series is known by the female cast and the story with a simple storyline, The FEAST Saga in the other hand offers the probably complex storyline of the series as nobody can be easily trusted.

The motifs that often writes are: Action, idols, music, gothic, mecha, sci-fi, etc.

Restrictions
Pauly-kun herself had stated that no other games aside of Feast of the Black Strings, Project BREAK-OUT! and The Slashing Reaper will go to PC and Steam due to many disputes between the developers and the many cancellations of games due to lack of developing and porting tools and "mastering" of the PC elements.
