Re: Creating my characters~ rough rough rough drafts.

Thank you Arowana! Your comments and advice are really helpful. Thanks for linking the anime character database, I'd never heard of it before and I think it'll be just what I need to inspire some more original hair styles! The "Shy Prince", as I have him planned now... will have a ponytail...

Re: Naming characters, and creating heroines?

My character does have a planned out backstory, and a personality. Every character in the story is definitely planned out and unique... I'd say it's protagonist-central, but it might be accurate to say it's a bit of a mix of both, some of the paths are quite different. The story is about the MC copi...

Re: Naming characters, and creating heroines?

That's a good point, it might be good to avoid the Japanese setting just to get something different out there. I'll definitely think about it some more...

Re: Naming characters, and creating heroines?

Hmm... well if no one really has a preference, I guess I'll just see what happens when I start drawing. Maybe my answer will present itself.

Re: Naming characters, and creating heroines?

I wouldn't say my setting is "lazy"... it's already decided, the only part I question is the country-- but the only thing that will really be affected by that choice is what I have to draw, not the story. Picking a setting easier to draw wouldn't influence the script (except for names.) Si...

Character Designs~roughdrafts/narrowed down.Vote for faves?

Hello~ I'm new to this forum, but I am working on a game that I hope everyone will really enjoy. I'm already having a little trouble, though... I have my story, I have my characters all planned out, and I'm really pleased. But... why is drawing hair on male characters so HARD? I've been doing a lot...

Re: Naming characters, and creating heroines?

I have taken two years of Japanese because in Alaska we have an "Immersion Program", we do a lot of business with Japan. I wouldn't say I'm ignorant of the culture and can even hold a basic conversation (though I imagine I probably sound like I'm in kindergarten... or worse.) So, I'm not r...

Re: Naming characters, and creating heroines?

Thank you for your really quick reply icebluehost! I have my whole plot already and all the characters, and just had to laugh when I couldn't name them. When I thought about it, I realized that most of the NV games I've played... the characters had Japanese names. I thought with the style of the art...

Naming characters, and creating heroines?

Is it preferable to use English or Japanese names in an anime style otome game? I can't decide. It seems right to use Japanese names simply because the drawings are done in the Japanese anime style, but at the same time I wonder if that's really the best way to go. Also, if I did go with Japanese na...

I've been on here enough times that I decided to join, everyone seems really helpful. :) Ah, and here is my Devia...
