Actually... I'm having more fun working on this than (P)lanets. Lol. I think I need to take a tiny, tiny break from (P)lanets world which is why it's easier for me to work on Circum[N]avigate stuff instead.<br />
Anyway, I finally decided how I want to color the sprites. I'm going for more of a 'surreal' look, hence the gradients and textures and whatnot. I edited the backgrounds to fit that. Haku's sprite is done, Reimei is nearly done and I haven't started on Fain yet, but all of their designs are finished~<br />
Current word count is 21,406 words. That's just for the common route, so I'm expecting this game may be fairly long... It's decided that there will be six endings, and one of those is the true ending. I've planned out the story 100%, so it's going really well so far!<br />
I'll probably make a WIP thread in LSF because I'm pretty curious to know how people feel about the story. There are a lot of otome games being made but I really hope that mine can be different, so maybe even the anti-otome people can still be somewhat interested. :p<br />
<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Ugh. I was planning to do lots of things for (P)lanets 2 this week & weekend, but I’ve been falling asleep every time I sit down with my laptop… then I woke up Tuesday with a killer sore throat, so I went to the doctor. Turns out I have mono! That would explain why I’ve been so tired, but unfortunately I just haven’t had the energy to do much of anything lately. So apologies for the lack of updates. I’ll be back on track soon, I promise!

<br />
Finally got down the design for Haku, one of the romanceable guys in Circum[N]avigate. He's mischievious, sly, and loves to steal... Also, he's most definitely not a human...<br />
I haven't been coloring anything for this game properly simply because I don't know what coloring style I want to use... Still experimenting with it, so I apologize for a lack of proper pictures/inconsistent styles.<br />
But I've found some amazing music that fits the game perfectly ^-^ I also found some free backgrounds that I will resort to using if I can't get a BG artist (which is pretty likely since I can't pay anyone). So I guess you can say background and music are 100%!TeaCuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929593191512100852noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041947259338719192.post-43492331736271607562011-09-20T21:23:00.000-07:002011-09-21T08:16:41.315-07:00Drawing Older Dudes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><b>Edit: Please tell me which looks better - </b><br />

<br />
I've always had a hard time drawing characters that look over the age of 12 o_x<br />
But after redoing Reimei at least 7 times I think I'm happy with him... he's 19, so I want him to look at least a *little* older than my usual characters, who are normally high school age.<br />
Anyway, Reimei is I guess the main guy of C[N]. (Though, I won't tell you who the true ending is with ;D)Because I'm trying to break stereotypes, he's not quite a tsundere... though he is close. He's definitely a<br />
complicated person with many sides.<br />
Now, I'm still not sure how I want the other two guys to look. I really want one of them to have a ponytail though. Cause manly ponytails are just awesome 8D<strike> (has been watching too much No. 6)</strike><br />

Hmm, so now that (P)lanets is done, I’ll move on to my second project. I posted some info on it here before – it’s called <b>Circum[N]avigate</b> (Title may change later) and it is basically a mixture of fantasy, sci-fi and of course, otome!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">However, I’m having a lot of problems explaining the plot simply. It has a lot more story than Planets. I’m used to writing simple and cute stories, so writing something very complicated is a different experience. Unlike Planets, this game will have a story that branches over every route – and doesn’t just focus on the individual characters. Similarly to Planets, there are three romance able boys and a science fiction theme. I changed the plot a bit since I first posted it.<o:p></o:p><br />
<b>Lots more info after the jump!</b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>STORY </b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">This game takes place in a distant future… but the characters live a rural lifestyle due to a technology restriction. Amongst humans are gods and spirits, co-existing and interacting with each other as equals. There are also floating cities, which are kept afloat with the power of air spirits. The question is, why is life like this now? What happened to make the future this way?<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Because radio, computer and television are outlawed, people called messengers are appointed to keep contact between the floating cities and the grounded cities via floating staffs called ‘cirna’. Mana is an apprentice messenger, along with her childhood friend, Reimei. But lately, the power of the air spirits has become weak. The floating city over Mana’s town is threatening to fall. Tensions become high between both communities, as they’re both at risk to lose their homes. As a result of this, the once peaceful job of a messenger has become a dangerous one.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">And that’s putting it simply, LOL. It’s not so simple though, is it? XD As I said, I’m still trying to figure out a way to summarize it without adding so many details. Hopefully it sounds interesting at least.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>CHARACTERS</b><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><b><br />
</b></div><div class="MsoNormal">I posted the characters before, but here they are again (a bit different from last time)<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Mana</b> –<br />
Age 18<br />
She’s the heroine of the story, and you may or may not be able to change her name – I haven’t decided yet. Mana lives in a small town called Satori. She is an orphan who was taken under the care of an old man she calls Grandpa, although they don’t have a blood relationship. Grandpa is training Mana to be a messenger, so she isn’t required to attend a school. Mana is very interested to know more about her parents and their death, but most things about them are kept secret. She’s mostly soft-spoken and sweet, and has an interest in gardening.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Reimei</b> –<br />
Age 19<br />
Mana’s friend since they were young children. Similarly, he is an orphan adopted by Grandpa, who he only calls ‘old man’. Although Mana and he are under the same care, he doesn’t view Mana as his sister, since he believes the same blood is required to be a family. Reimei keeps a good presence around adults, but his true side is childlike. Enjoys reading, sleeping, and hearing stories. Despite those lazy hobbies, when it comes to messenger training, he works hard. Keep him (far) far away from alcohol.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Fain</b> –<br />
Age 20<br />
He lives in Ciel, the floating land over Satori. Fain enjoys cleaning and drinking a lot of tea. Mana wonders at times if he’s a narcolpetic, since nearly every time she finds him, he’s asleep… or falls asleep suddenly. Fain is pretty spaced out most of the time, though he has a surprisingly large amount of knowledge<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><b>Haku</b> –<br />
Age Unknown - Middle teens<br />
Strange boy who showed up suddenly. He seems to be a tricky type who can tell lies with an honest face. He can even steal whatever he pleases. Haku can even appear or disappear at will… causing a lot of trouble for Mana. Though his impression isn’t very good, he seems to have a deeper side to him as well, and notices details that would be overlooked by most. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I’ll post some real concept art of them later on.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">And that’s all. Phew… I’ve never made a story so detailed before. But I made a character game already… now I have experience, and want to make a game with a great story. It will be hard, but I’m going to do it! (I finished Planets after all, so you can take my word for it :D) <o:p></o:p><br />

<i>Speaking of (P)lanets...</i><br />
Mostly got good reviews so far. Despite the few idiots who posted some REALLY dumb comments, and of course, people who just didn't think the game is for them (which is fine), most players think it's a cute and fun game. ^^ I learned a lot. Making it was definitely worth the effort.

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">A couple of bugs have reported, but you should be able to avoid them by following the walkthrough, which I've added to the bottom of this post.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway... phew. I'm glad I was able to actually finish this. Nearly 2 years have passed since I first posted the WIP... I quit working on it for several months during that time, and I never really thought I would finish it. It was a little surreal posting in the completed games, and seeing so many positive comments! Thank you all for supporting me through this whole process! :D</span><br />

And now, I'm going on vacation this weekend, so I have even less time! Big sigh! I will be taking my sketchbook with me and drawing lots of CGs, but don't expect any updates for at least another week. Sorry everyone! Have a CG!<br />

And now a bonus screenshot from Circum[N] (The background & textbox are just placeholders). Despite the fact that I should be focused on other things this is a lot more fun to work on... I've been working on Planets for so long its getting tiring XD I'm also thinking of making this game widescreen, I wonder if that would be cool?<br />

Yes, that's right. I already have a new project waiting to be worked on after (P)lanets.<br />
"W-wait, what about that kinetic novel you were working on?"<br />
I put it on hold. The script is done (it just needs to be proofread), but I feel like still need to improve my skill before I start doing the art for it. Since it's not interactive, I feel like it needs some super awesome art to make up for that. Besides, I don't think it's that highly anticipated, so no one will care XD<br />
Anyway, back to this new project!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<b>Title - Circum[N]avigate</b><br />
<b>Genre </b>- Scifi/Fantasy, Otome, Relaxation (That's not a genre, but it seems fitting XD)<br />
<b>Plot</b> - Above a quaint village called 'Satori' is a floating island, 'Ciel', held up with the power of the <br />
air spirits. Mana is an apprentice <b>derivara</b>, one who brings mails and various deliveries <br />
to Ciel on flying staffs. Because Ciel is cut off from the rest of the world, the derivara are <br />
a necessary component to keep the community thriving. Their job used to be a peaceful one,<br />
but as the centuries passed, the power of the air spirits has weakened. The threat of Ciel falling<br />
and killing those beneath it gradually becomes greater, causing panic and many fueds between the residents. Now, the derivara are in constant danger of being sabotaged on their deliveries, due to <br />
the growing hatred between the villages. Is there a way to reunite them and restore power to the air spirits? <br />
<br />
<b>Main Characters </b><br />
<br />
Mana - <br />
Age - 17<br />
Bio - The heroine (me!). I'm an apprentice derivara and I've lived in Satori my whole life. I try to keep a positive outlook on life at all times. You may think I'm naive for this, but don't underestimate me for that. I can easily K.O. whoever I please. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Am8sgDsmz7MUMoZly1trM_GCdDo2JzMcNun-hez5nsUhQUgWvayCxuExZT-TKN67a2eURPltp7Ph1gybaxLmXzFZPY2d8hr4Z7vwxiWN2nNiftNdzEy63hXMmmnRRRGRNFASjQaDuH30/s1600/reimeihead.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1Am8sgDsmz7MUMoZly1trM_GCdDo2JzMcNun-hez5nsUhQUgWvayCxuExZT-TKN67a2eURPltp7Ph1gybaxLmXzFZPY2d8hr4Z7vwxiWN2nNiftNdzEy63hXMmmnRRRGRNFASjQaDuH30/s1600/reimeihead.png" /></a></div><br />
Reimei -<br />
Age - 19<br />
Bio - He's also an apprentice derivara, and has been training <br />
with me since we were young. He lives with me and my grandpa, which has cause a lot of rumors to be spread about us, but there's nothing going on, I swear! Around adults he's quite composed and doesn't speak out of turn, but when he and I are alone the true side of Reimei comes out... scary...<br />
<br />
Haku - <br />
Age - ???<br />
Bio - A strange boy who shows up whenever he pleases. He's rather teasing and usually has a mischievious smile on his face. But there's more to him than it seems... I can't explain why, but he has the ability to turn invisible, and he's often causing all kinds of trouble for me. It can get annoying sometimes... I think he gets great satisfaction out of causing misfortune for others. Someone teach this guy some socialskills. Despite that, he doesn't seem the type that would physically harm someone... I think.<br />
<br />
Fain - <br />
Age - 18 <br />
Bio - A resident of the floating island Ciel. I make deliveries to him on an almost daily basis. He's quite peaceful and easy-going, and spends a lot of time sleeping. He always wants me to stay for tea, even though I'm not supposed to stay in Ciel for long. Although he has a gentle air about him, he lives alone and doesn't seem to have friends. There are strange rumors about him and many seem to avoid him. Weird, he seems pretty nice to me... <br />
<br />
<b>Side Characters</b><br />
<br />
Grandpa - <br />
Age - I lost count a while ago<br />
Bio - He's not really my grandpa, but I call him that since he adopted me when I was a child and he's... well, he's old. He also happens to be my derivara teacher. He's a really skilled flier and has perfect balance. You'd think he'd make a lot of deliveries himself because of that, but he loves making Reimei and me do everything for him... for no pay, of course... -sigh-<br />
<br />
Ainen - <br />
Age - 17<br />
A good friend of mine who lives in Satori. I tell her a lot of my secrets and feelings. Whenever I'm around her, I always feel full of energy. She loves gossip a bit too much... sometimes I suspect she's the start of those rumors going around about Reimei and I. For a certain reason, she can't be a derivara, but she still helps us out in many ways.<br />
<br />
Progress:<br />
Story Planning - 90%<br />
Character art - 1%<br />
Script - 1%<br />
CGs - 0%<br />
<br />
Taking place in a mixture of futuristic and rural setting, this is a big experiment for me. Don't expect <strike>m</strike>any updates to this until I finish (P)lanets, but I wanted to go ahead and let you guys know that I am working on something else. Anyway, I know there are many otome games in development now and some people are probably getting tired of it, so I tried my best to create a unique concept. <br />
Unfortunately, I'll need a background artist for this game, since the setting is quite unique.<br />
I... kind of doubt I'll find one though... orz... but if anyone is willing to help, please~~~~ won't be needing one anytime soon though, so there's absolutely no rush.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure when I will make a thread for this at Lemma... probably after I finish Planets. I mean, I kinda hate the idea of having multiple WIP threads. I don't want to fill up the forum with my stuff, it seems kinda selfish D:<br />
<br />
*Before anyone asks, the floating island idea was inspired by both Rune Factory Frontier and Mana Khemia 2.

</tbody></table>Take a look at everyone's casual outfit! I posted Ryuu's here before, but never Kaius or Lucan.<br />
Searching online for ideas didn't give much help, so I got the inspiration from... my friend's closet XD<br />
<strike>I couldn't use my brother's, seeing as he has no fashion sense</strike><br />
A brief overview:<br />
Lucan - neutral color and simple but mature style.<br />
Ryuu - a baseball T and a manpurse. His outfit is the most put together, shockingly!<br />
Kaius - a brown jacket thing and a band t-shirt. (You can't tell, but it says Alice 9... I guess Kaius likes visual kei :p)<br />
Marin also gets a new outfit of course.<br />

</tbody></table>I'm kinda frustrated though, I can't seem to find Ruiko's .psd file (I think it may have gotten deleted due to the virus on my old computer), so I can't edit her clothing @_@;; Damn... maybe I should just give Ruiko a whole new sprite, considering I've grown tired of looking at her ugly face (if I do, that'll be my absolute last priority though XD)<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">W-what? There's bad endings?!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>Personally, I hate bad endings.<br />
They leave me feeling depressed and discouraged and I can't sleep at night XD<br />
But most people voted in the poll that more endings is better, even if they're bad. So I've decided to include bad endings in the game. <br />
As for progress, I'm happy to say that I've been churning out CGs like butter. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Remember, there will be 40 CGs (excluding SD ones)<br />
10 for each guy (excluding Haruhi. He will have CGs of course, but not as many) and 10 "other".<br />
Kaius- 5/10<br />
Ryuu- 5/10<br />
Lucan- 2/10<br />
Other- 6/10<br />
SD (aka chibi character CG) - 2/???<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Doing all the CGs is taking me longer than expected. I have about 30 left... its a lot... orz.<br />
What I would need is <b>someone who can do the lineart</b> of the CGs (in psd [photoshop] format). Because it has to look somewhat consistent with my own art, <b>I will do the coloring myself</b>. It seems like a fairly easy task just to do lineart, doesn't it? I wonder if someone would be willing to help me with this?

</tbody></table>Literally... everything. Including windows itself. I no longer have a taskbar, icons, a mouse, nothing but a black screen that does absolutely nothing.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
But luckily, I have everything game related backed up on a flashdrive. So it still LIVES! <br />
However, I have lost everything else. All of my drawings, writings, videos, music, everything has disappeared into the great black abyss that is now my computer. This is why I hate technology. Yes it's great when it works. But you can't rely on it at all. It could be working perfect one day then the next day everything is all OMGWTF.<br />
I will now have to get a new computer which is a huge hassle. The only good thing coming out of this is that I can finally get windows 7 now (yay?).<br />
Lessons learned:<br />
1. Back up your game.<br />
2. When firefox tells you that you are about to enter a reported attack site, it's probably telling the truth, and you should not go there anyway. (ORZ) <br />
3. <b>Backup your game. No really.

This will be a small kinetic novel I'm working on as a side project. It began as a short story in my writing class. The assignment was to take one word and center a story around it. Obviously the word I got was 'someday'! Exciting yes?! <br />
<br />
Here's the basic plotline:<br />
Kinose is a student who feels the need to preserve things in photographs, <br />
for fear they may disappear someday. Living a predictable life with his younger <br />
sister and a good friend, it seems like he has nothing to worry about, but... <br />
his feelings of paranoia won't let go...<br />
Then, Kinose stumbles upon a field of wildflowers that he never saw before. <br />
How strange to find it suddenly, in the small town he's lived in since childhood.<br />
He gets an eerie feeling from the field, but consistently returns to it... <br />
because of her.<br />
The girl named Sora.<br />
After meeting her, things finally begin to change...<br />
<br />
So yeah, very different from Planets... I need to practice drawing girls so maybe its a good thing XD<br />
This isnt going to stop me from working on Planets at all, I just need to take a break sometimes so I don't get burnt out.TeaCuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929593191512100852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041947259338719192.post-2330585111018179772011-04-10T18:07:00.000-07:002011-09-20T21:37:43.514-07:00Lucan-sama!Finally finished Lucan's second pose!<br />

Bleh. I don't know what to think of it. I had no idea what his hands should be doing so they look a little stiff. Lucan has always been REALLY hard for me to draw properly. To the point where I've literally redone his sprite at least 8 or 9 times, while I've only redone Kaius and Ryuu 3 times (I'm such a perfectionist @A@). I don't even know why he never turns out right. But yeah, I'm not going to worry about redoing it... it's whatevs. Lol. <br />
The new Marin has grown on me though.. she looks sooo much better than she did before XD Hopefully Lucan will grow on me too(?)<br />
<br />
Script is going well, btw. My goal is to have that finished by the end of May - early June, so I can send it off to proofreaders! Hopefully my proofreaders are still on, though if not, I'll be looking for 2-3 people to look over the script and make sure I have no grammar mistakes. Anyone up for the (potential) job? :)TeaCuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929593191512100852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041947259338719192.post-55060676629179999022011-04-08T16:16:00.000-07:002011-09-20T21:37:43.514-07:00minor changesNothing big has happened recently, but I thought I'd make a post about the small changes I've made. n_n <br />

1) I finally got how to make custom buttons for the textbox, and I also added an animated CTC (click to continue) button. I think it looks really nice!!! I may end up customizing the whole interface, but of course script + CGs come first~<br />
<br />
2) I got tired of Marin's fugly face so I redrew her. <br />
<a name='more'></a>I'm not 100% satisfied so I may end up redoing it later, or if the other one is preferred I can easily change it back. I guess I just need a change of scenery (After you stare at your own drawings for a long time, they start to look really ugly, no matter how good they actually may be XD )<br />
Also, Marin's mom got a facelift :D I didn't even redraw her sprite, just changed the colors and it already looks much better. (Coloring makes a HUGE difference!!)<br />
<br />
Also... the poll results so far don't surprise me at all XD Most girls like the mysterious/emo type it seems. I'm not surprised Lucan isn't that popular because he isn't as... developed(?) as the other two, but hopefully more people will like him in the actual game!TeaCuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929593191512100852noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041947259338719192.post-46131934444389481952011-04-02T00:32:00.000-07:002011-09-20T21:37:43.514-07:00A lesson in math<b>MAN.</b> I finally did a CG that I'm really proud of.

</tbody></table>Because I have to have a picture in every post, the CG I just finished comes right before this scene.<br />
<br />
So yeah, getting REAL close to finishing up Kaius' route. I'd say 70% done. 20% is the remaining script, and 10% is the CGs... He has 3 CGs so far, which means he needs 7 more if I want to meet my goal of 40 CGs (10 per guy)... ORZ. Doesn't sound like much but I spend 3-4 hours on just one CG. 4x7 = 28 hours. That's like... over a whole day of nonstop CGing. FOR ONE ROUTE. I don't even want to do the math for the whole game, LOL -shrivels and dies- <br />
So I guess it's time for a lesson in math...<br />
<br />
40 CGs is my goal.<br />
I've completed a whopping total of 8.<br />
40 - 8 = 32<br />
32 CGs * 4 hours = 128 hours total = over 5 days of nonstop CGing<br />
Hey.... that actually isn't that much O_O <br />
Maybe I should increase that to 100 CGs? (ROFL YEAH RIGHT WHO AM I KIDDING)TeaCuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929593191512100852noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041947259338719192.post-76507163120921102832011-03-27T20:01:00.000-07:002011-09-20T21:37:43.515-07:00New Menu in ProgressTitle is self explanatory. I'm tired of looking at the old ugly menu so I'm working on a new one XD Here's a VERY VERY work in progress picture of the menu.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmpGdHRQ1I7GEuFSmVo2QaCAc6SG5HJqPqAluqgehnlOBHFdK3_bCJ2aoxrvu-NVmqbDLXTWvA2ijtzsR7VsJ6N9Mfb5CM24X2Eyrk9GnFKg1LF-id7vaMzwHOHX_izVF7kgqbIuNCaAlt/s1600/sakura1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmpGdHRQ1I7GEuFSmVo2QaCAc6SG5HJqPqAluqgehnlOBHFdK3_bCJ2aoxrvu-NVmqbDLXTWvA2ijtzsR7VsJ6N9Mfb5CM24X2Eyrk9GnFKg1LF-id7vaMzwHOHX_izVF7kgqbIuNCaAlt/s320/sakura1.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Marin has no legsss (yet)<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a> </td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
Marin's hand looks weird, I know (it'll look better in the final product obv). <br />
Its mostly the same thing as the old, just redrawn (Ive never been good at designing menus and stuff OTL)<br />
<br />
And an updated checklist of the progress...<br />
<br />
-Finish Script<br />
-Have Script Proofread<br />
<strike>-Redo Kaius' sprite</strike><br />
<strike>-Redo Lucan's Sprite </strike><br />
<strike>-Redo Ryuu's Sprite </strike><br />
-Redo 'Extra' Sprites (Dad, Mom, & Oginuma-Sensei)<br />
-Redo Menu Screen <b>(In progress as we speak!!!)</b><br />
-Make Daily Transition Screens<br />
-Finish CGs<br />
<strike>-(Optional) Make Opening Sequence </strike><br />
<strike>-(Optional) Redo Haruhi & Ruiko's sprites</strike> <b>Not doing it, I think they're fine</b><br />
<strike>-(Optional) Further Customize Textbox (Or find someone to do it for me!) </strike><br />
<br />
<br />
Phew... when you look at the list, it doesn't seem like much is left to do. I can whip out sprites pretty fast, and the transition screens will be cake. But. The script and the CGs are the MOST MAJOR THINGS IN A VN. Naturally this is going to take me... well, a LONG time. I'm making progress on the script each day. But the CGs. Oh god. I hate them. I hate them so much. Needless to say CGs will be the very last thing to get crossed off this list XDTeaCuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929593191512100852noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041947259338719192.post-7692256301307120602011-03-25T20:19:00.000-07:002011-09-20T21:37:43.515-07:00A Rainy Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-FRu4KNim952eyU7-JG6v1rNQqci2bZM8LqSOt-dsKEdbxt208N_yxt3S_rKLOTnYOfO5AofnYoeK9AJlEJeoaukzjqt8s_-q2z78T2dzYVO4rkQGr_V3EhtogIS7s0jk6c8PNUKNfLsN/s1600/kaiusfinal+copy.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-FRu4KNim952eyU7-JG6v1rNQqci2bZM8LqSOt-dsKEdbxt208N_yxt3S_rKLOTnYOfO5AofnYoeK9AJlEJeoaukzjqt8s_-q2z78T2dzYVO4rkQGr_V3EhtogIS7s0jk6c8PNUKNfLsN/s400/kaiusfinal+copy.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Ryuu's 2nd pose is done! Whoo~ I'm proud of it, but I think my art style keeps changing. Lol.<br />
Lucan's is actually done too, I just have to color his clothing. Which always takes me the longest. ^^;<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>In the picture is a preview of a scenario I just finished writing.<br />
A rainy day at Planets... of course, Ryuu wants to skip class to play in the rain. I wonder what Kaius and Lucan are doing?<br />
Despite this progress, I'm not gonna lie, I'm having a few troubles... In regards to scenerios ect. <br />
I'm afraid of making the game too long because if it drags on, it'll become boring. Such is the case with many slice of life / school life games... (They tend to become boring since there isn't a lot of plot)<br />
I'm a huge perfectionist so I constantly worry about things like this. But I will continue to try my best...TeaCuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929593191512100852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041947259338719192.post-75209767474883989452011-03-20T16:33:00.000-07:002011-09-20T21:37:43.515-07:00Kaius 2nd Pose: Get!Short update today!<br />
So my goal is to give each guy 2-3 poses. <br />

Hmmm, its kind of awkward seeing him turned that way, in fact Idon't think I've ever draw his face in that direction before, lol. His hairstyle makes it hard to draw him in many different angles, but yeah, I think it looks all right!TeaCuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929593191512100852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041947259338719192.post-87074884307810816082011-03-02T18:01:00.000-08:002011-09-20T21:37:43.516-07:00New... everything!Haven't updated for a little while but that's not to say I haven't been working hard!The script is now at 70,000 words. I wonder if I can reach 100,000 words? Maybe that would be too long for this type of a game... quality > quantity. As long as it takes to tell the story, is how long it will be. <br />
I'm working on updating pretty much.. everything. New backgrounds,new music, new menus... new everything! Hopefully the game can look much more polished now! I have to admit I'm quite happy with it so far! <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Maybe you're wondering how exactly the decision points in this game work!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The game is pointbased. You have to get a certain number of points with a guy to get his good ending, and if you have a low amount of points, you get a bad ending. There are normal decisions (worth 10 points) and key decisions (worth 20 points). Making the wrong choice on a key decision will cause you to lose a lot of points, which = bad ending. But of course, you don't know how many points you have!! I'll provide a walkthrough, of course!</div>In other news, I've been working hard on the programming aspect of the game moreso than anything else. So for this month, I will work very hard on the CGs. How many CGs should a game have? I really don't know. Most games I've played have a *very* small amount of CGs (even commercial games) but I don't want that to be the case for mine. Event CGs make the game more exciting! Maybe I'll make a goal to have 40 CGs - That's ten featuring each guy, then ten for whatever else, like group pictures. But now that I say that, it seems like a lot of work XD Sometimes I wish I would have recruited people to help me... OTL.

It's no fun being cooped up in a boarding school all day. You have to get out sometimes!! Which is why I made this:<br />
<br />

But this poses a problem. The students obviously don't just wear a uniform all day. They have other outfits too. As I'm beginning to design the everyday outfits for the guys, I realize... I have no idea what guys wear! Stylish guys, anyway. Something like this maybe:<br />

Maybe he looks too hipster. -shrug- <br />
Stats anyone?<br />
These screens contain a total of 65,218 words,<br />
The game contains 11 menus.<br />
<br />
I haven't put in all the menus yet, but there will be a lot more than 11. The final game will probably be about 75,000 words. Not too long or too short. Hopefully I'm not aiming too high ^^;TeaCuphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05929593191512100852noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041947259338719192.post-34495262237983044822011-02-05T20:51:00.000-08:002011-09-20T21:37:43.516-07:00Need to get serious now...(P)lanets has an opening sequence now. Making it was fun :D<br />

<br />
<br />
Now that I have finished the fun stuff, I need to start the revision of Kaius's route.<br />
His route is very hard for me to write! I consider him as the main boy of the game, so I want his route to be the best of all. But because it's so depressing, I would rather go write Ryuu's route or something instead. XD<br />
However.. .I must finish!<br />
I also created a new textbox. Still simple, but I like this design a lot better. <br />
