Eileen and Lucy are both MIT-licensed. I do ask that you treat them reasonably well - making an H-game starring Eileen will probably make me shun you.

....Huh.

Most right Lucy:
-hair, check
-outfit, easy
-hat, check
-wears glasses, check
-eyes, check

...Maybe I should cosplay her and see who notices, I'm going to a convention this weekend anyway :D.

I might put Lucy in the game that I am doing. It would be a redrawn version to fit with the style of the game I am making, but it could be fun to have her in there as a tertiary character. Are there any personality traits I should be aware of when writing her? I was thinking that she would belong to the visual novel writing club.

Not much but here are the few ones that applies for the new Lucy...
- Cheerful
- Naive
- Sometimes an Airhead
- Curious (sometimes leading to accidents)
- Short attention span
- She "conveniently" has amnesia and her "legal guardian" who most likely know a thing or two about her true identity isn't talking about it so she temporarily assumes any identity she finds (and ends cameo'ing in several VN's) and fit in virtually anywhere with ease and disappears conveniently without a trace.

Image
There is also this unofficial Lucy uniform "dress" which somewhat mutates from version to version but still retains the light green color scheme accompanied by a white hairband... so anyone is pretty much welcome to introduce their variation of this uniform...

In case you are interested in her predecessor... she's here...

Now that all the sprites for the Remake of "The Fucking Question" is done, it's release is certainly guaranteed, I decided to revisit the evolution chart of Lucy And once again I found myself in awe at how much Lucy (or Lucy's) has changed in just 6 short years...

Image

Looking at the latest incarnation... this one definitely is dangerously straying away from the usual Lucy uniform... though still retains the headband and the green color scheme...

It's been a wild ride... I can say without hesitation that Lucy was most likely the biggest reason why I'm still in this OELVN thing... the emotional attachment is just... cannot be described in words... I just wish when I'm no longer here... whoever will succeed me in being Lucy's unofficial caretaker or put her (or them) in their projects will take good care of her (or them)

Haha, sounds interesting :D
I love Cid, but I guess, if I would use Lucy, I would do it like Cid is used in the FFs
Meaning, the Lucys would more or less differ greatly in character and/or appeareance.
I mean, the only thing that all Cids have in common is the name and the fact that he always somehow is in relation with mechanics (in Chrystal Bearer he even became a fat, plantlike dude with double glasses)

So I guess, Lucy should have one really important trait that should be considered canon (and then can easily intigrated in many games). Then all users could take her name, her trait and her appearance (like the hair cut, the hair color, the clothing style or the glasses) and make a "new" Lucy fitting to their game and she is still recognizable :)
In fact, I still could insert her in my actual game, I have a few side characters that could look however I like it, meaning I could make one Lucy.

I love the idea, but I guess, you should decide on one important trait you want to keep, Mugen.
Don't know, something like her being a sweet addict or tripping over her feet or stutter or something. Should just apply to many genres without "ruining" the game ;)


Anyway, once again, I love the idea, it sounds funny and great!
