DoomedDinerTitle.jpg And here it is, in time for Halloween : Itch.io link . It is the windows build (I have no way to test other builds). Five out of the 8 storylines finished in time for Halloween. It has a possession, zombie, slasher, cosmic horror and prank-gone-wrong story. No background music ...

Tina.jpg Just a quick heads-up for this coming Halloween. In a couple of days I'll post "The Doomed Diner" with 4 or 5 of its storylines finished. The Doomed Diner consists of 8 very different kinetic stories centering around 3 nieces who inherit a diner from their uncle and have a scary Halloween ...

Thanks Zelan, things have kinda spiraled out of control (as usual with my "short projects") and there are already over 300 drawings but I do hope to finish it before next Halloween. The game itself already works, it's just a matter of getting the many storylines finished and add more drawings.

Hmm, when I started this little experimental project (using vignette style graphics instead of sprites and BGs) I thought : "I'll make a quick 100 watercolor sketches and work out the story later. After all : I'm somewhat of a 80s horror afficionado. It'll be a breeze and will surely be finished on ...

Well, there is of course H.P.Lovecraft's Azathoth. If he wakes up then the entire universe is blinked out of existence because the universe is nothing but his dream. How's that for Cosmic Horror? :lol: In John Landis' "An American Werewolf in London", the "It was all a dream" device is used to have ...

Hi Raging Bull. Your art doesn't suck at all and I wouldn't worry too much about not being able to draw digitally. After all : the Holy Grail of digital art is to make it look like traditional art :wink: Joking aside, I have had a Wacom Cintiq for the longest time now (darn thing is over 10 years ol...

As usual, I've underestimated the work involved. The number of pictures will be well over 100 and typing in the story will take more than two days :lol: BUT! The witch trail is ready so I've uploaded the VN to the doomed diner itch.io page . This trail is the least bloody out of the three (the other...

Just noted one of my browsers didn't show the pictures (the one with the paranoid security settings). Probably because the images are on my own site (which isn't https certified). Here are the WIPs as attachments (shown somewhat smaller than the originally posted ones). Kids1-400.jpg Kids2-400.jpg K...

Hello! So, The Doomed Diner (take 3) is a visual novel about a trio of girls who inherit a diner at Dadrice Cove. Bad stuff ensues as they take part in the local tradition of a Haunted Halloween Hike. http://www.fusebloware.com/Pics/DoomedDiner/Diner.jpg It offers 3 wildly different main routes that...

Hello, JaneRunsFast. Your work looks great but you wanted a critique and there's something I spotted in your sprites : whenever one of your sprites tilts its head forward, it tilts its head sideways by the same amount. It's as if you want to keep the eye line and the vertical axis of the face perpen...

Sounds interesting! I wouldn't worry too much about disclaimers. Simply naming it "Historical Fiction" or "Historical Romance" should be disclaimer enough. A historical romance like "Casablanca" didn't come with additional disclaimers. I don't know when exactly you want the romantic story to take pl...

I think most developers won't notice much of it since they'll be using a cross-platform development tool (like Renpy). Of course, Apple does everything in its power to make it hard to cross develop for its own platform. That hasn't changed. But we still have HTML 5 :lol: Anyway, graphics functions s...

Personally I would be interested in a well organized "Cook Book". Not an introduction to Renpy, Python or visual novels in general, nor a learning book or a "How to make a FPS in Renpy" book but simply a cookbook which answers any "How do I .... in Renpy" question. Of course, this is akin to a refer...

As for blocking certain paths : I think it's a good idea to still show the option that takes the player on that path but show it disabled. This way it piques (hopefully) the interest of the player, especially if the option is a highly interesting one. Perhaps it would also be a good thing to show th...

Protagonists who can turn into panties? .... Only in Japan

Very interesting post. Thanks for making it!
