Re: What are you listening to while you write?

Since my game has a ballet setting, listening to classical music not only helps me get into the groove of things but also let's me scout for possible royalty free songs to use in the game itself.

Re: Allégro: a Ballet dating sim. [GxB & GxG]

Update: -Added a BG Maybe the exaggeration is just a _tad_ too much, I don't know... I honestly don't think it is. I'm coming from a concept art background and one of the big things you learn is that every character should be easily identified from their silhouette and exaggeration is key. When you ...

Harley: aw I really appreciate that. It's nice to have support from such a cool community. : ) UPDATES: -It looks like this project may turn into a single commercial game instead. I might be bringing a professional programmer on board and if I do I'll obviously need to pay the people involved. I wou...

Re: Allégro: a Ballet dating sim. [GxB & GxG]

I think it's a valid concern too, but that sort of peer pressure does exist in ballet. I could either pretend it doesn't and let the main character fly through the story without a care in the world, or I can take on the idea that it's a real issue and show the main character overcoming in. The first...

Re: Allégro: a Ballet dating sim. [GxB & GxG]

If it helps, when I looked at Lola's sprite, I never saw her as overweight or someone who *had* to lose weight. ^^; I thought she had a lovely body type. When I took jazz and hip-hop there were a number of girls with that body type that did fine (yea different dancing, and it wasn't a competitive t...

Re: Allégro: a Ballet dating sim. [GxB & GxG]

While I really like the art style and quality, Lola's thighs look almost comically large, even for someone who doesn't practice ballet. I'm a little afraid that this is going to be one of the games where "stat-raising" means "losing weight for the sake of your career/love", as in "you can only win ...

Re: Allégro: a Ballet dating sim. [GxB & GxG]

Have you ever seen the movie Billy Elliot? It's a wonderful film, though I'm mentioning it more specifically because certain aspects of your plot are reminiscent of it. I love your main character's design, in any case, and I would certainly be interested in seeing how a ballet-centric visual novel ...

Allégro: a Ballet dating sim. [GxB & GxG]

http://oi57.tinypic.com/rr0co2.jpg Plot: This story follows Lola Fuentes, a strong willed young woman whose dream is to one day be a prima ballerina. This is easier said than done. While she's athletic and skilled, she has no formal training and her struggling family cannot afford to send her to th...

Re: Selling out (theoretical discussion only)

I think including GxG options in what would have been a GxB game is becoming fairly common now, or doing two versions of a game, one GxB and one GxG. So, I definitely think it's only a matter of time before you start seeing more, the problem isn't so much the quantity, it's the quality. It's easy to...

Re: How much?

Here's what I would charge for art, to give you a sample of one part of the spectrum. -Sprites (5 characters, 3 poses each, 10 expressions)= $300 ($20 per pose, free expressions, extra outfits for an additional $5 each pose) -BG's (20) = $500 ($25 each) -CG's (15) = $450 ($30 each) -Custom UI (logo,...
