Untitled Debut Game WIP [Otome GxB] [HIATUS]

[Green Skies]

Green Skies Studios will reveal its first installment: *insert awesome game title here*! This topic will be updated periodically as we get more done.

7/10/2010

We've realized how big a project we want this to be and have decided to put this on hiatus while we do a little skill development. We're working on a more do-able project at the moment, and afterwards we're hoping we'll gain enough knowledge to make this a fantastic game. Stay tuned...

Game Details:

Basic Summary: In an unfortunate turn of events, Mahou Eriko is cursed by an irritable witch while stepping into her territory. Once she's bewitched, she starts to see the magical sides of people she would've never guessed were there. Eriko must gather five of these people in order to break the spell...that is, if they're willing to help her.

Characters:

You play as Mahou Eriko, a perky girl with a cute piggy backpack.

You will be working to gain the trust of 5 boys by helping them in some way whether it be through conversation or completing their requests.

As of now, we want your opinion on the main character design. Please give us your opinions!

Which is more appealing?

#1

#2


Thank you for your input! More to come...

I like the first design better since there's a bit too much pink in the second.

As a personal preference, I don't think it's very tasteful to show a bare belly when wearing a sailor-style uniform. I have the impression that character is supposed to look a innocent or at least youthful. The bare belly is rather pointless and detracts from the character's appearance.

[azureXtwilight]

I'll have to say the first one!

[Red Lilies]

First one, the blue hair pins are cuter.

[Chansel]

I actually like the second one better >.<
The blue hairpins feel kinda out of place since the blue doesn't match with anything, if you ask me ^^"
That, and I have a thing for brown hair with blue eyes...

[LVUER]

The second one. The blue color kinda screw the color balance. You could change the color though... And the bag in second picture is pinker and softer (which is good).

[Jake]

Which is more appealing?

The second one, because the bright-cyan hair pins clash a bit too much with the pink for my tastes, and the differently-coloured eyes make a better contrast.

Not to mention that in the first one, because of the contrasting colour, the eyes are drawn to the hairclip, while in the second one the eyes are drawn to the eyes, which makes a lot more sense.



(Also, IMO bared midriffs are always appropriate, but I'm not a girl so I'm probably biased.)

Haha, I'm a girl, but bare midriffs are okay, but in this case I don't think it really makes the design any better XD

Well, there's nothing wrong with a bare midriff in everyday anime clothing. But it's kinda strange for a school uniform, if you ask me. If it's a cosplay uniform, then sure. Go for it. But a real uniform wouldn't have a bare midriff. I mean, just think of those poor souls who aren't skinny! Would they have to wear a bare midriff too? *shudders*
You could, however, go with the bare midriff if you say that she washed it too hot once and hasn't gotten a new uniform yet. Or something like that.

I like her in blue eyes, it seems it would fit her character a bit more if she is "perky" as you described her. It makes her stand out a bit more. It might help a tad if the character was written out before designing. That way you could get any habits in her personality in the character design too. (not that drawing then writing after isnt bad per say)

Good luck with your game :3

I like the second one, I thought the blue eyes lighten up her dark hair.

I like #1 better C:

[Green Skies]

Ahhh thanks so much for everyone's input! And keep it coming XD It seems split down the middle. Writing the character is an excellent idea...I should really do that. My artist is away atm, but she'll be happy to see the feedback.

About the midriff...I actually thought it was kind of cute before. It reminded me of young Kay Faraday (http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... Sprite.gif) when I saw it lol
But it's true normal schools probably wouldn't support it XD We'll talk a bit about it when my artist gets back.

Ah, I see what you mean. It is cute in its own way, but that character in the link looks more sporty and energetic rather than cute and perky (although one could say those are pretty close). I think I don't really like the look in the character design you have mostly because the shirt looks a bit stiff...
