Tried my project, built with 6.99.10, on a friend's new Windows 10 laptop and the looping animation is freezing after a few seconds.

Sorry for the length between updates on this site--been a bit of a crazy month. http://s21.postimg.org/m89j5b2w7/Sakraia_Test.gif There's a bit more animation in Act II. I'm working on scene 3 of Act II right now, which is pretty long and requires a few new images because it's a key turning point in...

I took an animation I'd made in Blender, then converted to webM to try it out. After a few seconds it crashed on me, but omg still really looking forward to this feature. It looks great!

(Also, in the latest nightly, defined im.composites sometimes seem to revert to the default placeholder images).

Trying out making animated .gifs of my progress. I'm afraid all this one really shows is how indecisive I can be, heh. Tetrine's sprite.

Should I maybe write through a single choice and continue the story in a more linear fashion until I get a word count that I'm satisfied with, and then go back and add in the other choices and figure out how to branch everything and how to bring it back together? About what I do. Although I would m...

Days, chapters, acts, parts and so on can give the player a good indication, as paradigmshifty mentions. Although you have to bring a chapter or act to a natural close to avoid breaking immersion. Or sometimes you want to force a break in the story... give the player a moment to think about the clos...

I prefer to determine sprite expressions according to facial muscles. Some examples might be: Eyebrows - surprised, furrowed/angry, worried, sad, neutral Eyes - closed, left, center, right, partially closed, squinting, surprised Nose - wrinkled Mouth - smiling, slightly open, shouting, grinning, sne...

And some new art to kick off Act II (well, the art and code part of it, anyway). You can click the banner above to go to the Tell a Demon website, with the demo download link and such.

Story text for Act II is done.. just testing it in-game, then onto adding art and sprites and so on to the Act II scenes.

Mishel's WIP. He first appears in a flashback in Act II, hence the costume. Anyone who has played the demo might remember that Kalevel mentioned him in Act I.

@Hazel-Bun - Thanks! :) Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Work in progress shot of Tetrine's sprite.

I get this when I move sprites with ATL. If the player skips, it will skip the ATL. So I usually do something like this: ##Sprite's entry position show mark at markscn1_01 mark "I've arrived in the scene." ##The animated position show mark at markscn1_02 mark "I'm moving." ##The ...

@Ualaria - Thank you so much! 2) Ooh, tough choice. I'm going to go with Tell, I think. "Seemingly normal person thrust into strange/supernatural circumstances" is always a fun trope, and the whole dream sequence conversation with "Vengeance" really hooked me. I'm really looking ...

If the game was designed to look and play like a text adventure or a book, I would probably not notice if there was less music or no music. The expectation I have with a fully illustrated visual novel, however, is that there is a soundtrack. While I often turn the sound down or off because I live wi...

Whew... okay, new demo is up.
