I will definitely work with you on a future project!

That's a great point. John Truby actually covers this in his book and he calls it 'character webs.' Thanks for the examples! I do have the habit of not figuring out how the characters affect one another, even in subtle ways. Sometimes I'll do a character map of one person and see how the others are...

A trick that I use is making the two most prominent characters in the story foils to each other. That way, their opposing traits are highlighted even more because they are constantly interacting with each other. Examples of foil duos: Optimist vs pessimist. Grumpy vs upbeat. Shy vs outgoing. Straig...

GUI artist found! The UI is now completed! The tentative release date is for August 8th, the end date for Cloudnovel's Summer Sun Jam. Of course, this depends when I get the needed backgrounds. This game will be on Cloudnovel as well as a downloadable version from itch.io. Thank you all for your sup...

GUI is completed! Thanks to ThayBrownie from Cloudnovel

I used to have the same problem as you where my characters are 'textbook perfect,' but they still come across as boring + sounding the same as the rest of the cast. I solved this by giving my characters 'quirks' based on their lifestyle and backstory. A pessimistic character might also be a prankst...

If you feel like your main characters are all alike, then they're probably all of the 'blank slate MC' variety I assume? The MC doesn't have many of such facets after all. The situation may define their 'extreme situation' personality where the actions seem compliant or based upon the situation. If...

I am making my current visual novel for several reasons. I had the idea stuck in my head for awhile but lack of art really stumped it. After getting the sprites from Mikomi I realized I really had to go through with this. Collaborating with others made it seem more real and attainable. I've always b...

Hello everyone! I have a problem on truly developing a character's voice. I typically write in first or third point of view. I have developed well rounded characters but they seem rather stiff when I write the draft, including the main character. Here's an example of an 'okay' voice: What am i? Who ...

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a GUI artist in addition to a background artist. Really I only need a textbox and choice boxes. If you'd be interested in expanding your portfolio or helping the community I'd greatly appreciate it!

Hello everyone! I added that I'm looking for an additional artist for the GUI. Really I'm just looking for a textbox and choice buttons. So if you'd like to expand your portfolio or give back to the community I would greatly appreciate it!

Update 7/3: Hello everyone! Currently the script, sprites, BGM, and voice are all completed! My main focus of now are the backgrounds. There are 4 of them, mainly in a simple cell-shaded style. A few have time/effect variants. 1) Woods 2) Fairytale woods (+ night and fairy versions) 3) Underground h...

Thank you so much! The tentative release date is August 1st!

6/30: Peter's lines have been completed! Now all characters have partial voice acting. To show some content, here is an example of an in-game CG done by shortycake. (An external link since resizing would make it blurry :/ ) https://trello-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/5943276ef928b1ac79e4c0a0/59432aa...

Hi! I had tried playing the original but maybe I didn't download the correct one because I didn't end up getting it in English. Is the game in two separate languages or a mix of both? The art is REALLY pretty ^^ Having original art makes the game more exciting and fresh~ I'll definitely play this on...
