The Chase

#1 Post by Dragon »

The Chase is a new novel I've decided to come up with. My last one, Life Goes On, is currenty on a hiatus, due to lack of artists, and ideas. The Chase, I hope, is a novel just in the life of a young school boy, trying to find love. So, if anyone can give me some support, that would be greatly appreciated.

what kind of support would you be looking for? your post is kind of vague and chances are people wont know what exactly you need.

Well currently, for this project, I need a blonde-headed boy as the main character. For my other project, you'll have to look deeper in the Works in Progress Forum. Thanks, man.

Er...I'll go ahead and say that adding that you'll have a blonde lead to your already vague post doesn't help much.

You need to provide us with a good plot explanation, give us your development plans, explain how much you have done already, and what kind of support you need, be it artists, musicians, coders, etc. You need to provide enough info to show your exact plans so that people understand them perfectly.

No offense, I would appreciate if you did not hound at me for not being discriptive. I'm already stressed as it is coming up with ideas for the story. But I thank you nonetheless for your help.

Long: The main character. He is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy. He is 16 years old. He is known for his trademark black cap with a yellow t-shirt and blue jeans.
Reira: A red-headed 17 year-old girl. Her name is Japanese for 'red'. She is Niruke's childhood friend, and has a crush on him. She is known for her red ribbon in her hair. She has blue eyes. She wears a purple shirt with blue pants.
(That's it for characters, for now.)

Music: Some of it will be copied from my other story.

Artwork: I'll need some artists to create some backgrounds, such as school, mall, shops, houses, and other things. The characters will be wearing school clothes on weekdays and other clues on weekends. Their school clothes represent Japanese school clothes. Boys will be wearing blue and white jumpsuits, while girls will be wearing blue and white sailor fukus.

When I think of anything else, I shall let you know.

I think you're probably not far enough along in your project for any artists to sign on yet. Better to focus on your ideas for now.

If someone did sign on with you, they would need you to be descriptive, and they would ask a whole bunch of picky questions, and if you weren't ready for that stage it would totally stress you out. Also, if you don't have a complete script yet, then you might change your mind and realise you needed something else instead of what they'd drawn, and that would stress both you and your artist out.

Do you want someone to look over what you've written so far and give you feedback and suggestions? Or would you rather get at least a complete outline first?

Write the script. Finish the script. In fact, put the script into Ren'Py and playtest it. Then start looking for an artist. That way the artist can know what the project is about, the scope of the project, and that you're actually serious enough about the project to finish the script.
