In general fiction the rule is "show, don't tell." In other words, it's best if the protagonist is defined through conversations with the other characters, or by things they say about the protagonist among themselves. One of the reasons the whole "girl I grew up with" is so popular - she knows almos...

Quick update - just finished coding Carla's path. Also the one character I'm having the most trouble finding an audition for since she has a spanish/hispanic accent. May have to ask one of the other folks to "stretch" into the role. Next up - Julie's path, then Annette's path, then time to pull the ...

Weekly Status Update 11-25 to 12-1 This has been a pretty good week for the project. Rescoping allowed me to concentrate on the other 90% of the game that wasn't in the "bonus" area, and also left me with a little slack to do some additional graphical work as it came up. Linda and Becky's paths are ...

Actually, I could have sworn I saw a nice tutorial on this somewhere on this very forum - but darned if I could find it now. The short version is that you want to scan your image in, then open the image with your software (I personally use Gimp 2.2). The image will be imported as a single layer imag...

And now I can add Becky's path to the list of completed paths. Two down and three to go. I think the next two (Julie and Carla) will take a bit longer than Linda and Becky did because they both start a little later in the story. The worst one (from a time perspective) is going to be Annette since sh...

Mirielle - Look forward to receiving your audition file. And, of course, if you need help with your title, feel free to ask. Personally I'm getting pretty excited about how the game is coming along. In addition to having already received my first audition file, I also finished Linda's path today. On...

Denzil - Thanks for the link. I'll have to check those sites out for possible future use!

Forgot to mention that there is about 30 minutes of dialog for each character. Also, while the script is complete at this point, I expect some changes to come out of the Beta Test, so it will be helpful if vocalists can be available for some short changes through the Beta Test period. FWIW, Vocalist...

OK, I'm really churning out code now, and I can see the ends of the main tracks for each of the lovelies in sight. That means it's time for me to do a first call for voice actors. I'm going to work up a submission for the Voice Actors forums, but figured I'd give y'all first crack :D Looking for 5 f...

- If my motivation definitely decides to die on me, I'll at least release the code under some Creative Commons maybe. - Going back to the "modding", I think I'll try to complete the original cast of characters I had in mind, along with basic story elements. What you'd do with them would then be up ...

Cute game. Was a little surprised at the question that was actually asked - but it does fit with the point of trying to encourage folks to write their own VNs.

Of course it begs the question - Are there any married VN teams?

Having taken a look at the full file, this is a very nice contribution! It would be nice if "next time" you could do the clothing as layers to be selected so that it would be easier to mix and match, but that's just the purist in me speaking (known for doing heads, arms, torsos, and legs as individu...

A most excellent character. I'll have to DL and see what all the Photoshop options support. Is this available just for this demo, or for the community at large to use?

Thanks again,
Ewan

OK, I won't interpret lack of response for lack of interest in the future

I finally (!) got to Annette's entrance to the game last night, so at least I feel like I'm making progress.

Thanks to all of you!

OK, since there were no responses to the last posting, should I assume that folks actually aren't that interested in a weekly update on the game, and just want to know when I'm ready for vocals and for beta testing?
