Retro Magic Academy Visual Novel UI

Goal: Create a 1990s mid-era Japanese PC visual novel / adventure game screen in a 256-color dithered pixel-art style, like a fantasy magic academy mystery game.

Canvas: 16:9 landscape game screenshot, 1184×768 feel, dark navy interface with ornate antique-gold borders, low-resolution dithering, visible color banding, crunchy pixel texture, no modern UI polish.

Layout: Split the screen into three main areas: a large story scene panel on the upper left, a vertical command menu panel on the upper right, and a wide dialogue box across the bottom. Use elaborate gold filigree corner ornaments, thin double-line frames, small blue gemstone decorations at frame intersections, and faint magical compass-circle emblems in the UI background.

Main scene: Inside the upper-left scene panel, show an old European-style magic academy classroom with exactly 3 tall arched windows on the left wall, rows of wooden desks and benches, a chalkboard at the back with arcane diagrams and chalk writing, a teacher’s desk with books and bottles, wall sconces with warm candle flames, dark wood paneling, and a small academy crest banner above the chalkboard.

Character: In front of the classroom, centered slightly left, show one anime-style schoolgirl named Ceres. She has very long flowing deep cobalt blue and violet hair with shiny pixel highlights, a navy academy blazer with gold trim and a golden magic-circle crest on the chest, a white pleated blouse, a large burgundy ribbon bow, and a formal fantasy school uniform. Her right hand is lifted near her chest as if shyly speaking. Cover her face with a centered square soft blur / mosaic censor block so the facial features are indistinct.

Right command menu: The upper-right panel title reads 魔法学院端末. Under it, display exactly 5 stacked menu items in Japanese, each in its own horizontal row with gold separators: 1) 「話す」, 2) 「調べる」, 3) 「持ち物」, 4) 「記録」, 5) 「システム」. Highlight the first item 「話す」 with a brighter rectangular outline and a small gold triangular cursor plus blue diamond marker on its left.

Bottom dialogue box: A dark translucent navy text window spans the bottom. On the left, include a decorative crest panel with a golden compass/astrolabe symbol and laurel motif. In the main dialogue area, display the speaker line 《セレス》 and below it the dialogue 「おはよう。今日も眠そうね」. Use white pixelated Japanese bitmap font, clean spacing, and authentic retro text-window rendering.

Visual style: 256-color Japanese PC-98 / Windows 95 visual novel aesthetic, hand-drawn anime character over detailed pixel-art background, dark navy and antique gold palette, heavy dithering, subtle scanline-like roughness, ornate fantasy UI, crisp rectangular panels, no photorealism, no 3D render, no watermark, no extra menu items or extra characters.
