Script Update!

I know, not as exciting as when I have new art to show you guys, but....  Waiting on Love's script is just about 3/4's done now!

I just got a new job, so I might slow down a little, but even so.  I am fairly confident that the game's script will be done within the next week.  Obviously, this is a very good thing, as it means I'll be able to get started on everything else after that.

It'll also give me a better idea of how many CGs and sprites I'll be needing to make.  So!  Progress is most definitely being made.

Hope to have more news for you soon. :)

Revived!

Hello lovelies!

Long time no update, eh?

Well, I am officially back in action!  I had a lot of problems with coding before, but have recently gotten back to practicing, and I am fairly confident that I am at least capable of a simple game now.

Sadly, Budding Romance is officially cancelled, due to the break up of my ex and I.  It would just be too strange to keep working on it after that.

With that being said, I'm going back to Waiting on Love.  I'm changing things about it, as I want to make it simple enough that I can actually produce it without totally messing it up.  I'd like to practice my knowledge with it, as I already have another idea for a much longer, more complicated, otome game.  Until I know for sure I can do it, I won't say much more about this other game, but...

I am very excited to say I am back to work.  Thank you so much to all of you who are still with me. <3

Sprites Started!

Just wanted to say that I did get started on my first game sprite today! \o/

I will be sending them over to my friend, Shaian, when I get them sketched; He's volunteered to help me get the inking done, which is going to be a HUGE help! I am so excited to get this under way!

Thanks again for all of the support, guys. <3

Budding Romance Updates

Okay, so!

First off, I made some game buttons! But Novelty is giving me a lot of shit, and keeps crashing.. So, now I'm back to doing research in Ren'Py. I've started writing out the coding as well, although I am probably giving up on using the buttons I made in Ren'Py. For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to want to let me use my buttons on the main menu... 

Might go back and try again later, but for now, I'm just gunna shrug it off and not worry about it. The content is more important than the way the buttons look. xD 

That being said, I'm hoping to get to work on some of the art in the next few days. Wish me luck!

Budding Romance - Big Updates

After all of that hiatus time, I really am back with a vengeance people!

I did some note taking this morning, and have gotten some more things figured out. As I said yesterday, the script is already written out, so now I just need to get the rest of it done (lol).

I have a rough sketch now for how I want the menu/title page to look. I have worked out I will be making about six sprites, with five expressions each; I will be making about five CG scenes, and will need about seven backgrounds.

Needless to say, this is MUCH smaller and simpler than Waiting on Love, which is going to be put on hiatus until I get this finished. Once this is done, I'll have a better handle on how to actually make the games, and then I can move on to something more complicated.

I have also decided to stick with the anime style art for this game, since that seems to be what the VN community prefers.

I just don't know if I want to try and do all the art digitally or not....

What do you know

So, after deciding I wanted to write a simple script to practice with... I ended up coming up with an idea and the sample script is already finished being written. LOL

I'm trying to experiment with Novelty, which is proving to be quite.. Complicated, despite how easy I thought it was going to be..

But I will try and come up with some simple art so that I can start experimenting properly. Look forward to it! :D
