Re: Not all art makes good sprites

As far as I see, in the end it's a matter of having a well defined aesthetic for the whole game, and being careful when composing your art assets. Pretty much all of the "bad" examples shown here fail at one of these points.

Re: What do you with a set of characters but no story?

If you REALLY have your characters well fleshed out... How do they develop the way they are? How would they react to certain things? How would they act if they have a rival or enemy? If you've really developed those characters, they should have a motivation, and you can have a base for a story by......

Re: Writing in a different language

I tried to write a small project in English, being Spanish my mother language and... nope. Just. Nope. For my current game, which is already hard to write in Spanish since it's in first person (and it's necesary for important plot points to be like that) and I'm more of a third-person writer, I'll w...

Re: Character creation issue

If you want to go REALLY feminine, I'd say consider the main difference between male and female bodies (thinner hips and wider shoulders) and apply it just a little to a character with otherwise completely feminine proportions. I'd say the face looks feminine enough. You may also want to consider th...

Re: Offering criticism!

This is pretty awesome! I'd love to have some feedback on my art! Almost nobody comments on it outside of a few friends :'D http://truefaiterman.deviantart.com/gallery/ Don't be afraid to be completely merciless. Your gallery looks really good, and I can see your feedback is well-thought and really ...

Re: Different artstyles, storytelling and commercial viabili

Would anyone play a game with art like this? For free? What about as a commercial game - would you pay for a game with sketch-style art, considering there's much more art than in a traditional VN? If not, would you pay if it was a bit more refined, but still very simple and conceptual? If it's free...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

I was waiting to finish the whole painting, but due to work I'm not sure if I'll finish it soon enough, sooo... sneak peak! To me, everything looks great except for the teeth. If you're going to put any kind of detail in the teeth, you might want to make sure to get the size right. Otherwise she lo...

You lose nothing with opening the thread! My own "VN style" is far from your usual cel-shaded anime style, and I still have it done and get some work from time to time :P

Re: Legalities with Publishing Free VNs on Steam

Wow, just when I wanted to post, I find the smoking remains of an explosion. Damn...

WIP of a VN background I'm working on. This is probably close to what the final thing will look like. http://s33.postimg.org/qebrsot33/ceo_office_07.jpg No wonder it's close, I don't even see how to improve it even more XD Amazing work!
