Tsukihime : Under the Eyes of a Red Head Guy

[kraken]

Tsukihime Under the Eyes of a Red Head Guy is the name of my Visual novel based on Tsukihime.

It's an alternate story where Arihiko, the best fried of Shiki, became the hero. I tried to stay very close to the character, however, I give to Arihiko a little power for giving him a chance of surviving.

A first demo was released in november (only in french, this is my language), but many art was from the original game.

They are all redraw by my chara designer for the new demo that will be release in somes days.

The new demo will be in english as in french.

I need some help for doing some coloration for the art, If you are used to use photoshop, I need help for it.

Here is the blog of the game:

Some of the forums members really don't take too much to Tsukihime-esque projects or authors who aspire to be the next Nasu. However, the problem is more and more up-and-coming writers aim for Tsukihime "greatness", so you'll get reactions like this from time to time. You'd probably fare a lot better with an original story and characters and a smaller scope and size for your first project, just so you can learn how things are done, how long things take, and how hard things get.

Anyway, I'll wish you good luck on this project. As a Tsukihime fan, I'd likely play it, if only to reminisce a bit, and for the lulz if it's based around Arihiko's perspective.

I intend to use this game to train and master Ren'py for a future project (that is easier to use an existing universe for the first time). I don't believe I am a new Nasu, my game is just a game allowing me to make a tribute to a work that I love.
However I am looking for help to make the background and to help colouring.

Guys, please, this is someone else's thread. Two lulz posts are okay, but don't let it get out of hand.

I haven't got the slightest clue regarding what all this might be about... What's the problem with that game / subject ??? I'm playing it right now and it looks quite enjoyable so far... Maybe I should google-ize and do some research

EDIT I've done my research job. Yeah, right. So what ? End of controversy.

I have updated my blog with some design of the character.

Oh, I think to it, I have a problem with my gallery mode.

If I close the game after going in the gallery, I have an error message wich tell me to look inside renpy.exe.log.

In this file is writed this:

Code: Select all

E:\renpy-6.6.1-full\renpy-6.6.1\renpy\store.py:50: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal

can you help me to resolve this problem?

[PyTom]

As described here, I deleted many off-topic posts from this thread.

Re: the unicode problem

There's two things that could probably cause this. The first is that you are saving your file as something other than UTF-8, and a French character is sneaking in somehow. The second is that you're using a French character in a string (in a python block), but not prefixing it with u. For example:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ m = Character("Moé")

is wrong but:

Code: Select all

init:
    $ m = Character(u"Moé")

is okay.

Well, now teh flame war's over (sorry, boss) I can actually say something useful. Looking at the illustrations in the blog, character designs look well done and have a certain original look to them. Downloading the beta to have a closer look, and I'll return with thoughts after I've had a blast.

Looking at the blog, it looks like you're redrawing the sprites with almost the same poses as in the original Tsukihime. With the freedom the redrawing gives you, why not draw the characters in different poses that may also fit your needs better? It would help make this fan-based project seem more like a fresh original project on its own This is just a suggestion of course.

Otherwise it does sound interesting that the story will be told from Arihiko's point of view Could be fun.

some sprite will be with original pose
Ichiko by exemple:
Original 1
In my game 3+ other clothes

All Shiki poses are original

And many pose of Satsuki are original too (only 2 in the demo, but more in the final version).

And Ichiko and Arcueid have several clothes.

I think I'll had more original pose, but for now, I don't need it for Hisui, Kohaku, Ciel, Arcueid and Akiha (maybe because these character have a lot of poses)

Many pose of the original game fit very well to the character, (the manga use them too).

thanks for the help for the game, it was the save file.

I see, then all is well I guess And sure, you don't have to go as far as make the characters act OOC with their sprites.

[kraken]

I have added to the blog the profile of Hisui and somes info and original art made by the chara designer of the game.

[kraken]

No new update today, but the last news have been translated in english (presentation of the chara designer and character's profile).

Is your demo in English?

If your game will be released in English I can help with the scripts. I´m a Type-moon fan, and, of course, I loved Tsukihime and all Nasu work ^^
