Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
Wow, thanks for the encouragement guys. I had reservations at first about posting a WIP thread when I barely got started, but your comments have really brought my motivation up! *bows to all of you*
So I have some screenshots of what I have so far for a user interface, and great news - it works pretty well! Of course, I'll modify it depending on people's input, and naturally the UI graphics aren't final (though they do look pretty nice right now, I think)
As you can probably guess, all I did was modify my way through the DSE framework.... *bows to the ground at PyTom's feet* ...to something that suits my needs. If I can come up with something better than the DSE, I'll roll with that, though given my lack of programming knowledge at the moment, that's highly unlikely. XD
...Oh! And I even got an inventory system working! It's real primitive, but hey, so far it works for what I want it to do. *so proud of self*
(btw, the potion is just a test item to test stat increases, I seriously doubt it'll turn up in the final version.)
... The schedule options and stats are not final, I'm still working out which stats to use and how I'm going to handle time period actions and so forth. But we'll see how it turns out.
...Note to self: get a better font.

Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
Ooh inventory! Does the potion mean magical potion? Cuz I love magical settings...

P.S.: I love the MC's uniform! It looks like she's sprouted wings... *drifts into la-la-land*

Hi, I just strongly felt the urge to tell you that this is one of the most beautiful sims I've seen in a long time
I love the idea and I adore the character design, it looks perfect.. Epecially Alexius and Dante ~

Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
I'm so jealous of your customization/programming skills, I could never do anything like that with the DSE! *w*
Wooah, now that I'm seeing the screenshot...I really want to play this game!1!! >w< (It's like looking in the window of a candy store! XD)

Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
Wow..! *claps and cries at the same time.*
This one is just so darn good..!
And I noticed the old lady together with her daughters post and I can't help but be reminded of Cinderella.

Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
Very beautiful art, very old-school shojo style. I really like the interface too, especially the sun-dail. It fits in really well with the game you are setting up. one very, very minor quibble is that the text is not properly aligned in the inventory. But apart from that it is very pretty. I look forward to what you produce

Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
Ahahah, yeah, the text is pretty funky on the inventory screen, I was just so happy that it was actually functional that I pretty much forgot all about the additional little details. I'll fix that up in a bit, of course.
And yes, the premise and setting elements will be very reminiscent of the classic tale Cinderella, this was rather intentional. However, things will be a little different. All magical elements will be removed, and the heroine will have to do pretty much all of the legwork in order to achieve her dream. Plus her luck is a little worse off than that of Cinderella. XD;; Of course, she'll have people on her side, but she's not going to have anything handed to her without good reason. No supernatural intervention here, folks.
Well... there IS the fortune teller, but everyone knows she's just an old bat, right...?
There's probably going to also be a super-sketchy blackmarket sort of shop that pretty much sells literal miracles in a box or a bottle. You'll probably have to go LOLHAX on your wallet before you'll be able to get your hands on them though....

Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
...is this an one-man project? Wow. Because, programming, scrpwriting and drawing at the same...everything looks fine. Especially the artwork, the characters look pretty, the coloring soft and nice....*A* I'd love it if this turns out to be a real game~

Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
Yes, this will be mostly a solo project. I sort of like having control over the direction of the project, plus I can go completely at my own pace. I won't be able to finish this project any time soon, due to taking classes and having two part time jobs, etc, so I'd rather not frustrate others by going at a turtle's pace. XD
This is something I sort of do in my spare time, for fun.
And again, thanks for the support. XD The programming bits were a real challenge to bluff through, but usually I'm patient (or stubborn) enough to make something work. XD I did get a lot of help by looking through the past threads of the Ren'Py Help Forums.
Any and all comments are appreciated, constructive or not. The constructive ones are good for practical purposes, praise is also good for motivation, and I admit I'm sort of a sucker for it. XD
Flames make me sad though.

Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
This is amazing!
I'm really impressed!
There are so many characters and the interface and the art look amazing!
And don't really know what to say except that I will be anticipating every update. And I don't think you need to worry about workiing slow. that only means that it will come out a lot better than a rushed game!

Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
wow... my mouth is wide open. Are you sure you're doing this for free? :O Ahem *cough* I just wanted to comment on this so much I didn't even read the other posts and comments after reading the summary and seeing the character arts(What were they called? maybe sprites?). so can you tell me how much have you progressed on this? If you need any help, please don't be shy. I personally would be honored to help you if you need. oh and please don't rush this, I fear that many games which are rushed turn out to be... a shame towards the end of the game. Uh, I seem to be saying this a lot...^x^
I waited for [more than] ten years, eleven months, thirty days, 12 hours and 26 minutes. then i finally had to admit i wasn't getting an acceptance letter from Hogwarts.
Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer
Oh my god. This is simply incredible - I'm astonished that you're doing everything on your own. That's what I call talent and hard work! Everything is simply stunning: the art, the colors, and daaaamn, that interface is gorgeous. I'm drooling all over the place - not only it looks pretty, it also looks detailed as hell. So many characters, and such a level of interactivity o0o!
Which characters will the heroine be able to pursuit? Also - I definitely vote yes on the possibility of some GxG romance! Aaaand so far my favorite male character is Seth. But you have such an interesting cast.
