WIP - Remember Me

[mikisweety]

Judging from the screenshots you've posted so far, I say, no, I think the chibis will fit right in.... I'm not sure if you want this comparison, but the slice-of-life mood so far strikes me as rather Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side - esque, and that game used animated chibis for the action options. In fact, any use of chibis is rather complementary to the light sweet main art style. And since you're already using a chibi for morale (on the side), why not? That one's fits right it to the overall look of the game and is utterly adorable. If you do though, I suggest getting the same artist that did that one to keep the consistency of.

What would the alternative be? A simple stylized button? I suppose this would cut the art asset cost but I find little art touches (such as the chibi will be) very charming and winning.

Anyway... You've been sparse in plot details but I find it quite intriguing so far. Especially how the protagonist actually starts the game with a boyfriend (Reminds me of Steve, though I'm guessing in this case it's not because you've been negligent like Steve has). I look forward to the game as well. It's missed by birthday, but I hope you do release one of your otome games for Christmas, so I can fit it into my presents budget then (for myself. lol).

Well I reviewed the plot and indeed beside that initial traumatic event, the rest should be (relatively) in a happy mood. I don't like to make "sad" games anyway
Will go with Chibis then, obviously not animated since that would be super expensive A release by Christmas is "almost" impossible for this game since it's not just a plain VN but has also some RPG/Sim elements - also the game should have a theme song that would be ready by january/february, so that should be the estimate release (I might do a pre-order beta like with other games though).

Whoa, this looks really nice. And widescreen! For some reason, widescreen always makes things look a lot more professional. >>;

[jack_norton]

Well, with the GL capabilities it's now really safe (and preferred) to use widescreen since 4:3 monitor only get two small black bands and it's not a real bad thing, but widescreen monitors gets to use the full space available

Wow! The art is fantastic! I can't wait to see the demo come out. (:

[jack_norton]

Thanks. Today got the "morale" chibies redone, didn't like much the old ones:

(on a unrelated note the artist is a Deji's friend, small world!)

Now will spend the weekend brainstorming all the possible action chibi to commission!

[Cain0425]

so how much is the full game going to be like $20 or so?

[jack_norton]

Yes I think so, since it's not a plain VN but has some simulation part in it. Anyway will have a better idea once is finished and I test it

[jack_norton]

Just some screens from the game, still WIP (especially the left bar, I don't know what kind of background/theme use for it.

awww the sunset scene is cute

[jack_norton]

Thanks. I like the art style, it's not very detailed but really cute. The new chibi are also really cute too. Can't wait to finish my current game to work on this at full speed oh, and a specific song is being made that will replace the main menu music.

So is this game still in progress?

[jack_norton]

You bet, I just got the theme music with vocals right today As I posted in my twitter/blog, I think february/march could be a good guess for release date.

[Cain0425]

so the game is it going to be like $20.00 when it comes out or more?

[jack_norton]

Yes most likely will be the usual $19.99
