Oh my god it works! _gMgEi93Dr0 That was the spontaneous comment and video I posted to a friend earlier today. The transition actually works... I got it first try, no documentation, no referencing other peoples' efforts, squeezed solely from my own brain juice. To be fully transparent here, I didn't...

Continuing on from where we left off before the break, let's check in on the current state of Aoi's sprite. I've talked about the pose switching before, but what I haven't talked about is... the basic stuff. I've categorized that informally titled "basic stuff" into three groups: idles, ac...

Those background sketches are looking great! I wish I had the skill or the patience for that kind of work, but I can't even draw a straight line. It never stops being impressive to me when people can just draw interiors like that.

Either yesterday's background art was too much drawing in one go, or it was the straw that broke the camel's back. My wrists aren't happy with me. Well, they're only a little bit achey, but I'm taking pre-emptive measures and calling this a no-draw day. Instead, I'm focusing on things that don't req...

Today I managed to get the basics of the transition down, but it's still very rough. Since I felt like I should take a break yesterday, but am very much still excited about making any little bit of progress I can, I left the pose transformation in this very rough state for today...

So, after thinking on it overnight, I think I have a plan for how I can achieve what I want. To give a simple explanation for how E-mote works, everything is assigned a value from... let's say -10 to +10. 0 is the default. This is charted along a bar. <=======> If Aoi was standing completely still i...

I did a big sleep and now I'm back! The power of youth, gotta love a fast recovery. So with Aoi's sprite complete, the process of turning it into a model has commenced! Unfortunately it's incredibly slow and not very showy, so I'm not sure how much I'll have to share today. Although I found the time...

Ta-da! Aoi sprite complete! There are a lot of moving parts, so it'll take some time to figure out how best to export her, but at least in theory, she can be posed like this. Animation is a different story... https://kyacchi22.files.wordpress.com/2023/03/visualnovelsprite5-1.jpg?w=656 With Aoi compl...

If life has taught me anything, it's that those who claim to keep promises best are the first to break them. Now for a completely unrelated tangent, here are some complete textboxes and nameboxes. https://kyacchi22.files.wordpress.com/2023/03/textboxes.png?w=656 A little bit of flair if you dare. So...

Hell hath returned. As I storyboard out all the scenes in our script, there's one lingering responsibility that keeps popping up... Unfortunately there is only so much you can achieve with stock assets, and very few match the specific directorial style I'm going for, which leaves me longing for imag...

She's alive! mi4eKAhtO2c Well, not really. I had a practice turning the currently unfinished Aoi sprite into the individual parts required for animation to work. I definitely made some mistakes in the process that I'll have to troubleshoot solutions for, but for the most part, I think I've got it fi...

Last time I mentioned storyboards, so let's talk a bit about the text those storyboards exist for. When it comes to writing, one of my biggest pet peeves is when characters explain things in a way that only makes sense in the context of a character talking to an audience. If the people in your scrip...

So let's talk about what we plan to use these panels for. Last time we focused on the implementation, but that's just a means to an end. Let's talk about their purpose in the narrative. Since our script is very minimalist, and our characters are written as real people and not Shakespearean caricatur...

It's an earlier update than usual 'cause I've got a concise topic this time. A lot of my time is being spent on a drawing I haven't finished, so... let's just focus on the things worth talking about for now. I really dug through a lot of code today. I started work on the final bit of the debugging m...

Taking a drawing break because in both of my previous NaNoRenOs, my wrists gave up halfway through which really impacted the quality of my work in the latter weeks, and I'm not as young as I used to be so I can't just recklessly charge onwards. Also my favourite F/GO character just got a buff so I'm...
