Another update! I've made a promo video for the Star Legation and except for the voice acting (which will be done this week), the video is fully edited with sound effects and a scifi music composition I wrote. The video will be attached to the upcoming Kickstarter campaign, which will be launching i...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give you a brief update on the game--the demo is finished! Everything but the UI is complete, and I'm hoping that will be finished by the end of January. I've already sent the demo out to my internal beta-testers, and I've been getting lots of positive feedback so far....

A new video preview is available, including a few screenshots with short clips of some of the music I wrote for the upcoming Star Legation visual novel!

A brief update: It's been 2 weeks since I started programming in earnest, and I now have the intro sequence, the opening (scene 1), and most of the second scene finished, including animated sequences, sound effects, expressions, and music. The opening scene also has some cool RPG elements where you...

Thanks for your thoughts, FerventWriter! Good point about it being useful giving everyone the same experience for feedback. That will definitely help me with the development process. I'm glad you're looking forward to trying it--knowing that makes me even more excited to put it all together for ever...

A few new updates! The talented artist, Aeghite , is now at work on the final CG that you'll earn if you survive to the end of the game! It's looking amazing--she's really going all out for an incredible piece of art! I've successfully completed preparations for 3 of the 9 main character sprites--t...

Thanks so much for your responses! I'm glad you think it looks professional--that means a lot to me, since I'm doing this myself with the help of some excellent artists. Thanks for your interest! I'll try to keep things updated here, too. If you want to familiarize yourself with the Solar Echoes uni...

Hello, I'm designing a visual novel and am planning a Kickstarter in the coming months. One of the stretch goals I've been considering is adding Live2D animation to the sprites, but I have no experience with it yet, beyond watching YouTube videos on its use. In order to reasonably project time and c...

Thanks, I've looked at a few visual novels so far for ideas, and it has helped some, but it seems inconsistent and difficult to quantify in some situations. As for my artists and CG, unfortunately my character artist and CG artist are different, and their styles are different enough that I don't thi...

Thanks arty, it must be nice to be able to produce so many CG's for your project! I am a decent artist, but not enough so that I'd want to be making the CG's for my game, so I'm hiring artists and that of course can get expensive. That's why I'm trying to figure out the ideal situations for a CG. My...

Thanks for your thoughts on this, it was really helpful and you gave me some ideas. I was planning to have a CG at the end, but there are a few different endings so I do agree that I need to have distinctly different CG's to earn. Action scenes was not something I thought of doing, and that makes pe...

Hello, I'm new to the forums. I've been working on a visual novel and have about 65% of the script finished so far. I'm working with artists on backgrounds and sprites, but I also want to put some CG's in the game for players to unlock as they play. My question is: What are the best types of events ...
