Re: What would you like to hear in a podcast about VNs?

We had actually been playing with the idea of doing a workflow episode, but then decided to try to tackle lighter subjects before grappling with a workload/work flow type of episode (because we could probably do an entire series with a bunch of episodes on workflow and workload) But I can definitel...

Re: What would you like to hear in a podcast about VNs?

It would be interesting to talk about the different kinds of choices available to creators as tools (meaningless, characterization, path diverging, stats affecting idk how you want to split them up but yeah) and maybe the positives and negatives of each kind and when is a good time to use them? I th...

Re: I'm Not a Monster! [Fantasy|Monster|BxB] MiniUpdate - Au

Aaaa I love the idea for this and the art and sketches look cool so far. I can't wait to see more! I can already start to see strong characterization coming from the sketches so I have high hopes!

Re: Arial: Universally shunned or actually usable?

Well, I'm going to say that I'd never say you can NEVER use Ariel as a display font, there's always ways to make and break rules in art and typography. HOWEVER, I don't think the logo looks particularly interesting right now, and wouldn't really set a good example for a professional brand using that...

Re: Ink's Blots (Critique always welcomed!)

I did a prompt style ask game on tumblr that involved being given a palette and a character and I had to draw them. These were all drawn fairly quickly and had a very limited palette so there are definitely mistakes but I like how most of them turned out! http://media.tumblr.com/9a6dea54d3b41caf2584...

Re: Ink's Blots (Critique always welcomed!)

Congrats, your drawing is very lively, this character seems ready to come out of my screen ! :o You kept eyes, mouth and eyebrowns on different layers, but did you do the same with the arms ? For a game-intended sprite, it could be useful to have another arm position available (in this case it woul...

Re: Ink's Blots (Critique always welcomed!)

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5333180/lest_png.png So this is my first completed shot at a sprite. I'm really open to critique on this especially about anything that might be specific to sprites intended for game use in particular! The eyes, eyebrows and mouth are all on separate layers so ex...

Re: Asagao Academy: Normal Boots Club[Free][GxB][School][Par

I really like the idea of a gamer focused VN, though personally real-life celebrities are not my cup of tea at all. I can DEFINITELY see it being other people's thing though, but you might want to check up on the legalities on using the names/likenesses of all these people? Especially if you're usin...

Re: Fantasy Gamebook Adventure [GxB] [Commercial]

I'm liking the look of this, great art and being based on an already published book means the writing has passed muster at least once! I loved old CYOA books so I'm really looking forward to this!

Re: Ink's Blots (Critique always welcomed!)

A WIP of two of my characters (a father-daughter pair) from a promt that was to draw them in a haunted house style scare-cam pose! I have started the colors and have the day off tomorrow so I'm hoping to finish it up and post it halloween night! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5333180/Bob_Honey_...
