I agree with trooper - choose someone who has worked on a released game project. That way you know they have the work ethic to stick to a project. Maybe it's a little unfair to artists who are just starting out, but if you have a big project it's better to get someone who has proven they can handle ...

I don't usually make full-on anime style games myself but for someone who's starting out and needs character sprites this is a great opportunity - as well as for prototyping. Might be useful for like a weekend-long game jam where there's limited time for drawing.

Hey all! Big news - this project has been revived and we're pretty close to releasing it! I've coded in most of the main story and the bug battle system is done. I'm just waiting for the final edits on the individual character routes so I can get to coding those. Then I just need to modify the battl...

I'd just draw the sprite double the size just as you suggested - so if your canvas is 720p high, then you should probably draw your sprites on a canvas that's at least twice that tall (I usually draw on an A4 size canvas anyway and resize it to the desired size when I'm done - it's easier to work on...

Wait, so are you planning to include the images in your game? Aren't they usually protected by copyright?

For me it's been an issue that people's saves have broken when I have released major updates to Your Royal Gayness. It may partially be because didn't initially know I had to use the default statement to define variables, but even after I added the default statements to every variable I had been usi...

I really hope they'll be able to fix it and it really is just a temporary issue caused by the new European information control laws. Itch.io has always been a really indie developer friendly site - customizable, open, easy to use, etc. I'd be really sad if they couldn't overcome this hurdle because ...

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I remember having a lot of fun with the graphics and I'd like to do something with similar graphics in the future.

I did the male version for my DnD character and got surprisingly accurate results :'D I guess it makes sense that a bisexual character would have MxM sex (my character does, so good job test) and apparently having a pendant necklace is also connected to gay sex and anal sex... I guess that kind of a...

No, the nudity update was done the same way both on my site and on Steam, since in those times (June last year) seemed that the policy was "adult content allowed at full speed" :lol: In the worst case I'll revert it to be the usual "uncensor patch" system. Especially when they a...

I'm really concerned about this. It's very strange that they're only targeting visual novels or games with "anime style" art. Like mentioned above, games like Dragon Age have sex scenes in them - so why only VN's? I wonder if it's to do with the payment providers Steam is using - for examp...

Hey there! If you're still open for more games, I have one for you! Game Name: Your Royal Gayness Paid or Free: Paid, but PM me for a free press copy Demo or Full Game: Full game Where can I get it?: Steam or Itch.io Genre: Simulation, Management, Story-Driven, Humor, Romance # of playthroughs you'd...

In my case, the couple of demos that I've done have been pretty much just the beginning of the game, no other stuff included. And then the actual game is a whole different build with everything in it. I think that's the easiest way to do it: No need to make extra content specifically for the demo an...

I can't share exact sales figures since I'm pretty sure it's against Steam's contracts, but Your Royal Gayness has sold around 10k euros worth of copies in about 3 months. It's a visual novel/management game hybrid priced at 14.99 and one playthrough lasts like 2 hours but there is replay value. 10k...

Because sprites and CGs, those are more expensive than many people without experience in commissioning think. You should always remember that art takes time, and that making sprites with many expressions and several poses and outfits take a lot more time than making a single image. And CGs with a b...
