Love Potion

[Ruril]

-- I have stopped working on this ;u; sorry ---
Drawing a bunch of animals makes me want to draw a bunch of peoples!
I'm not really creative so my idea probably isn't original D:


Currently Working on
• Sprites/CGs/BGs
• Story/Routes
• Menu, points, gallery coding
Work done so far
• Main menu screen!!
• Textbox and such... I'm not going to customize the prefs menu

============================================================================================

Story?
Lucy Morindew, the newbie at Windier Academy, is given a book of spells by her friend to ease her into the world of magic. Still wary of the idea of magic she attempts to create a simple love potion just to humor them. Can she find all the ingredients? Will she use the potion to win a heart of a boy? or will she use it for good?

Characters


Side Characters


============================================================================================

Windier Academy
There are two class of students at Windier Academy; Immortals and Enchanters.
Enchanters use magic that can control elements or even raise the dead. While immortals are creatures from myths or for the most part have their spirit/ability.

Line up of some of the finished sprites
The first guy will be a obtainable guy while the others are side characters. I may change the names so they can fit together better also the height thing is bothering me but if I don't put them in the same screen I think it'll be alright... xD

Tom - Toki - Tea - Random Student 1 - ????? - Katie - Julia

Sketches
The middle guy looks so weird... I wish I can draw noses and stuff xD

Sebastian - Conrad - ?????

Enchanter girl uniform sketch
Enchanter's uniforms are shades of gray, white, and red.
Immortal's uniforms are shades of gray and pink.


Screenshots
Testing out textbox and things so nothing really is permanent.

Oh goodness, all of your art is really adorable~ Those finished sprites look stunning 8D I'm quite liking the look of that textbox too, it fits in well.
The premise looks really entertaining so I'll be keeping an eye on this xD


Unfortunately, in terms of a converter, I'm no help there, but an animated cutscene seems like a lot of work, so best of luck~ :'D

[tuna_sushi]

your art looks so cute!!!
It's sounds really interesting too! :•

I'm looking forward to this!! ^_^

Animation
I made some simple animation with the hope of making cut scenes but I failed. GIFs are no good and swf is hard to convert since I'm still looking for a free converter that doesn't leave a logo on the clips.

I have a tip: Animating stuff is easy as pie under Ren'PiePy, so for the love of all that's good and just, please keep your animations in the game!

@Tag-
Thanks c:
Simple is better! since I suck a designing

@tuna_sushi
Thank you!
I sat here for hours just for a sentence for the story section xD

@Taleweaver
Animating using this? lol, I'll try and keep the animations.

Code: Select all

 image animation = Animation("frame_1.png", 0.25,
                                "frame_2.png", 0.25,
                                "frame_3.png", 0.25)

Wow!! The sprites look amazing *A* and the animation is so cool!! I wish could learn how to animate OTL
Anyway~ looking forward to this project and I wish you luck on finishing ^o^

Seeing this makes me wonder if you also saw the thread over potions and such someone asked about. (It was more than love potions of course, and there were interesting reactions) If you haven't, you should go read it to see their views. And it might help you a little with your story for the other characters' reactions as well. I believe it's in the Game Makers thread. (If you haven't read it yet anyway)

Aw, my~my~ More cuteness!!! >w< Totally can't wait for this- great job on the art and everything so far!!! Finish it soon-soon, but don't rush of course, I'm just too eager. X3

@Death_HUG
The way I did my animation is easy
Draw the characters frame by frame~

@Sunlit-Dreamer
ouu, I haven't seen that thread before. Thanks for telling me about it, I'll check it out.

@Alera
Thanks!
It won't be long since writing is not my strong point so it won't take long to finish! xD

@poppyrocks & therealrose
I happy you guys love it/them!

I see o3o Now if only I had the right program, I would try to animate stuff for my game >.<

[Ruril]

@Death_HUG
What kind of program do you use? Maybe you can try and use GIMP for animation.
I use Sai for drawing and ImageReady from Photoshop to put them together.
