Ruth-Less [RPG/VN][Mystery/Action][Modern AU]

http://lateconnection.com/rpg/ruthless/images/lsf/banner.png http://lateconnection.com/rpg/ruthless/images/lsf/synopsis.png There's an urban legend going around: if you can see a second clock on your pocket watch, you're going to die as soon as it strikes '12:00'. In a tired, old world, on the must...

Re: What's your ideal/dream game dev partnership?

Ideal ideal would be to have a fantastic writer who can write my ideas down but make it more , a composer who loves calm, joyful music and motifs, and me doing the art, plus a graphic designer for the UI/site that can also code. (Basically working with other 'me's that are better at writing/composin...

Re: What can I do to make my art more professional?

Just a quick question, is the new character meant to be pale? Like, really, really pale? That's the impression I'm getting, but it might be because of curves/adjustments. I reckon if you want to improve on anatomy, you should go to Proko's channel on YT for a good grasp on face proportions, and he's...

Re: What can I do to make my art more professional?

Er, I had written out this post and then I lost it, so the wording might be a bit off. Honestly, to get a professional feel, you need to practice, get a firm grasp on shading, colour usage, anatomy and all that fun stuff. There are, however, a couple of tricks: Clean lines - make sure the variance i...

Re: Eldritch's art thread + requests are open

/melts That's awesome, haha. Thank you so much! (Oh dear, bad critique is really bad, yeah. From what I've seen, lemmasoft is really constructive, so it should be okay! If you ever decide you don't want any, it's perfectly understandable if you just tell us, yup.) I was just going to give you a tip ...

Re: Eldritch's art thread + requests are open

Gosh, what a super cute style! I'd love to see a VN with this style, hehe. Do you want critiques? I wouldn't want to offend you, and others will know if you make a little note of it. In any case, I'll keep an eye on this thread. If you ever want something to draw, her, perhaps? I'd love anything fro...

Re: Hairstyle Choices [Critique Please]

Well, instead of picking what you'd like, try to think what kind of hairstyle your character would want! If they're worried about pimples, they won't go for bangs, if they're lazy, they might have a ruffled hairstyle, if he's trying to impress, he'd have a neater hairstyle, for example. Since he's a...

Re: Writing a Blind Protagonist

Reading this reminded of a certain fanfiction I've read, which led me searching for it. It's of Haruhi Suzumiya and I think it's rather well written, so if you know the fandom, give it a go. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6995020/1/At_a_Glance I didn't even know of his condition until really close to ...

Re: Can someone help me color this lineart that I made?

Hi, hello! I remember when I began CGing - colouring stressed me out really badly, because it seemed the colours I picked were wrong, and the shading never went right! I can vaguely say 'practice', because that really helps, but that's not a very nice answer, so let's carry on. For colour picking, I...

Re: How Often Do You Draw?

I pretty much doodle 80% of my class time, whether they're nonsensical doodles or head-shots to full-body drawings with pencil shading, but to sit down with the express purpose of drawing, to paint / line / sketch a work digitally is, well, once a fortnight, or something very-not-often, ashamedly. I...

Re: Points of View in a Visual Novel

I'm working on my first VN, but coming out of a long time being a gamemaster for various RPGs. And then I read lots of choose your own adventure novels back in the 80s...so...my VN is in 2nd person. This models what I do as a GM. I get immersion of my players when I address them as you, but the nar...

Re: What was your first story?

Well, you people obviously had a better start to writing than I had haha. I think in Grade 2, I wrote copied a story about a girl's finger becoming longer every time she lied. After that, in Grade 6? 7? I wrote a story called 'Nagi Fires', which was about Nagi from Hayate the Combat Butler firing Ha...

Re: Drawing a deliberately beautiful character in anime styl

Ah, well, if you can't do anything about the character-cookie-cutter thing, here are some ways that I disagree with to some extent, but should have a similar impact: Details: More eyelashes rather than longer ones, more strands of hair (but doesn't have to be longer), fingernails, (some cases, noses...

Re: Chinglish and Engrish Speakers

Well! I know a few Korean people who learned English, and I know a few examples of mistakes they make : Plurals - adding 's' when it's not needed, forgetting it when it is. Tense - they mix up past tense and present tense, etc! (They don't really omit it, but they usually just speak Korean to me, so...
