Awesome! :3

Great drawings and great character designs! I love them all! My favorite is probably either Richard (the doctor) or Camilla (the little girl with green hair). I can't wait to see your progress! It's great you two are working as a partnership!

Wow, this looks very impressive. Do take care to get one or two stories finished, so that you have something to release even if you don't get all the way done... But for the moment, this is looking awesome!
I released 3 VNs, many moons ago: Elven Relations (IntRenAiMo 2007), When I Rule The World (NaNoRenO 2005), and Cloud Fairy (the Cute Light & Fluffy Project, 2009).
More recently I designed the board game Steam Works (published in 2015), available from a local gaming store near you!

Again, great job. The coloring really brings the picture to life and you definitely have talent as an artist. Can I make one suggestion and feel free to ignore it. The character:

"Randolf Bennett: The resident watchman of Deeplake. He has a deep sense of duty, taking his job very seriously."

It may be just me but he looks kind of like a rugged, tough guy in the first picture. Which would be appropriate since he is a watchman, but in seeing him colored, his hair color seemed a little jarring. It seemed out of place as it softens his image. If this was the intended effect, then I apologize for bringing it up.

Remember that is definitely opinion and regardless I think this game looks outstanding. Keep us posted on the progress!

After discussing it, yeah, we changed his colour. This is the new one.
edit: also below theres the first background image done. I'm not going to post them all but this is an example of the style.

I've almost finished the first day of the first week script-wise. I'm hoping to speed up progress soon. The demo should be finished within two months, so unfortunately there's quite a way to go yet. We'll keep you posted on our progress though.

It's great to see the progress. Your coloring style is really original SD. I haven't seen anything like it on these forums. And I'm glad to see the story is coming all along as well. :3 Can't wait to see some results from you Septimus!

Go for it, guys! Sammy's behind you all the way!

I've finished the first day of the first week! Only six more days to go until the demo script is complete. (Although I say 'only' it's probably going to take me a long time, heh...)

You are mean, you know that? ^_^

But yes, the bottom one is just right :oops: . The stables picture should have the character (very slightly) bigger (closer to the camera).

There you have it, I said it. Happy now? :cry: :cry:
