My first -true- story... is safely locked away in a place where NO ONE will ever find it. My first -acceptable- story was about a hound given shape shifting powers, who could turn into a human. Throw in a money-obsessed con-woman for a side-kick/co-star and you can imagine any number of strange situ...

Same with cannibalism, incest and such. But I'll admit I'm not comfortable writing sex scenes, not for morale or akwardness, the reason is I have issues to write it without the act sounding... ridiculous, almost a parody. I blame Kinoko Nasu on that. Nasu is a premier example of a great writer that...

An interesting little thread. For the current arc of my VN, Phantasmagoria, the subjects I've been looking into are Grecian underworld mythology Thanatophobia (the fear of all things related to death) Psychosis (both medical and social) On a more practical level, weapon art design Victorian/Gothic c...

I agree that using 'he/she/it's a psycho!' to justify misdeeds isn't the way to handle psychopathy... but it doesn't exactly take a masters in psychology before you can write one, either. As a perfect example... Gollum. One the surface, he's just a rhyming hermit with a split personality. But his ch...

So as I've been writing, in this case for my 'Phantasmagoria' visual novel, a 'situation' came up and I started wondering to myself about a certain type of characterization. The psycho. The insane. the bat*&^% crazy. There are several different ways to write this kind of character... and all of them...

Hola all! Figured I'd throw an update up here before this thread gets any more buried than it already is... It -has- been a while since I updated. Phantasmagoria's first Arc 'The Firefly & The Raven' is roughly 75% complete...I've been working slowly but surely :) I've one last, and fairly major, sc...

That awkward moment when you realize you've made a CG that has more variation than some of your Sprites.... :twisted: Finished a major hurdle in getting Helena's Battle CG done...4 expressions, and 4 types of SFX for a grand total of 24 different variations... Now I can get back to writing and steam...

Another quickie update to introduce the main villain of the first arc. Mostly... because I'm at this part in the writing anyway :) The Raven Master "This city's always had a lot of ravens. There's an old urban legend around here that says the ravens will take whatever they can get their claws around...

Back again for a quick update. Knee deep into chapter 1-3. I don't really have an estimate of exactly how many chapters the first arc will be comprised of, but the main villain 'The Raven Master' will be making his first -real- appearance either in 1-3 or 1-4... so a rough estimate of chapters would...

Wow, I love your art! And, may I ask where Helena's shoes were? :'D She donated them! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFldBVWFgWo In all seriousness, After I finished her sprite lineart and loaded it up in photoshop to color it, I realized I'd completely forgotten to draw her shoes! Since you never ...

*Falls over and dies* Ysabella's sprite is finally done. http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/109/1/d/ysa_sprites_by_krescentwolf-d62832k.jpg Gothic style clothing with lace textures. Check. Difficult Hair. Check. Fireballs. Check. Good Gods what was I thinking?! Ysa's sprite was probably the sing...

"A tale of magic revealed to the modern world, and the subsequent chaos that revelation makes, Phantasmagoria stars 'Helena Hollinger' (the girl in light blue pictured above) as she moves through a world in the middle of falling apart." Why is the world falling apart? Is the magic sapping away at t...

Figure I'll throw an update here as well as on my blog. Chapter one is well under way, with an introduction to the narrator, Wiseman, and to the mentor-character who stars alongside Helena in the game, Ysabella. Wiseman: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/092/c/a/storyteller_by_krescentwolf-d609...

A few questions for when you have time: * Scope. How large will the story be? Few or many characters? A simple fictional setting, or lots of world building? If you intend to make multiple endings, then how many do you estimate there will be? * Pacing. Relatively fast or slow? * Theme. Serious, humo...

From the French 'fantasme' or 'phantasm/ghost' & '-agorie' or 'production/play' An optical illusion produced by manipulating light from a special 'magic' lantern.
