I think the top picture looks best. If you're worried you could make the color a little lighter and it would still look nice. Before it was fighting with the characters and background too much.

I do think it makes everything look darker.Kingv wrote: I tried it out with the desaturated purple from the logo. Do you guys think this would work better? I have to admit it definitely not as loud. But it seems to darken everything as well. I think I'll play with it some more and see what would mix. But I think the purple is a step in the right direction.
It's definitely easier on the eyes than that loud pink/black combination, though, and in the end I think I like it more.
GUI aside, I'm trying to assess why your screenshots look so cluttered to me. Part of it is, of course, that there are a lot of words on the screen at once, and a lot of little windows. But I think another part of it is that your backgrounds have very saturated colors, and a lot of them. Those books in the alchemy menu's background are really popping out at me, for instance. And I think the bright white of that floral screen in the background distracts from the white text and makes everything look noisier. I'm not really sure what you could do to remedy this very well other than reworking the backgrounds, though, which I'm sure you don't want to do at this point
Another nitpicky thing (feel free to disregard): It's irking me that the menu text is in a nice, basic sans-serif font, and the dialogue is in a comic book font. I'll admit it's partially a matter of personal preference, but I would rather see the dialogue in the same font as everything else. (And it's weird that the item descriptions are in lower/upper cases while the dialogue is all upper case. I feel like they are all yelling at me, lol.)
Oh yeah, and I really hope one of those secret endings involves Ignatious. Because come on, just look at him! Who could resist?!

Agreed, maybe a bit more of a mid desaturated purple. Not too light as to not read with the white and not so dark as to not read with the black.Nuxill wrote:I think the top picture looks best.

It does really help in featuring your art more though.

I have to admit that I feel similarly. There might be a more appropriate font for the dialogue. It is kind of a Fantasy piece right?Sapphi wrote:Kingv wrote: Another nitpicky thing (feel free to disregard): It's irking me that the menu text is in a nice, basic sans-serif font, and the dialogue is in a comic book font.
Something like this maybe? http://www.dafont.com/cicle.font I dunno. I didn't look for very long.

Thanks for the input. I made more color adjustment to the purple.Nuxill wrote:I think the top picture looks best. If you're worried you could make the color a little lighter and it would still look nice. Before it was fighting with the characters and background too much.
I never noticed the busyness before but now that you point it out I see what you're saying. I can rework some of the BGs since I created them in Flash. I don't know how familiar you are with the program but it's kinda like Photoshop in that everything is created with layers. So there are some things I can make changes to but other things are pretty much set unless I redo them completely. I made some adjustments to to Ignatious's background by tinting some of the items behind him so they won't stand out as much. His office is supposed to be rather messy because you later go there looking for something on a quest and it turns into a hidden object game. I attached a picture to show what it looks like now.Sapphi wrote:I do think it makes everything look darker.Kingv wrote: I tried it out with the desaturated purple from the logo.

I really should have gotten input on the text earlier! At this point I'm up to 23,614 frames and there's now way I can manually go back and change the font for each one without it taking a big chunk out of my production schedule. My original thought was that since the game is based on one of my comics I'd use the same font for both to tie them together. I'm feeling a little stuck at this point considering how far I've come...
He was planned to have a secret ending but I ended up cutting it since I was a bit much. If there's time after all the major routes are done I might be able to add it back in.
It does have a fantasy type of setting and I really like that font. I'm still mulling over what I'm going to do about it since there's no way to change all the text font at once in Flash. I'd have to do it manually frame by frame.FatUnicornGames wrote:I have to admit that I feel similarly. There might be a more appropriate font for the dialogue.

Re: Lunar Lotus Festival [GXB][Fantasy,RPG,Date Sim, Otome]
Any new progress on this one? I've been stalking, uh I mean, watching this thread for a bit of time and I've played the demo countless times as well. I'm quite fond of it and I'd like to get all the endings when it is done. I noticed a few typos, but I guess that's to be expcted with a demo, and either you or other have probably notified you about them already, so don't mind me-just my Proofreader nature ^>^. All in all, can't wait! Keep us all posted!

Re: Lunar Lotus Festival [GXB][Fantasy,RPG,Date Sim, Otome]
I posted an update last month with changes' I've made so far as well as a revised demo. I'll post what was updated here as well. I'm really glad you're enjoying the demo and i'm working hard to complete the game. I've been told of a few typos but I certainly don't mind if you PM me with any you run across. I know I won't catch them all and I at least want to work out major spelling errors. I'll continue to make post status updates here so no worries about that!KissOfDeath wrote:Any new progress on this one?

Re: Lunar Lotus Festival [GXB][Fantasy,RPG,Date Sim, Otome]
This looks really cool, I can't wait until it's finished. Mouse looks really sexy.
One problem for me is that the menu's look really busy, but I like the saturated purple.

Hey Kingv, I'll try to sit down and write out more thoughtful suggestions later, but from what I've read and played of the demo, I'm definitely looking forward to this project! Keep up the good work!

Re: Lunar Lotus Festival [GXB][Fantasy,RPG,Date Sim, Otome]
I can't wait til it's done either, I've been working on it for a bit. Mouse is one of my favs. ^^ I'm in the process of changing out the colors from pink to the new purple so the demo looks a little mismatched right now. I'll see what I can do about moving some things around to make it less cluttered.AshenhartKrie wrote:This looks really cool, I can't wait until it's finished. Mouse looks really sexy.

Thank you for giving the demo a play through and 'm looking forward to hearing what you think of it as progress continues.akizakura wrote:Hey Kingv, I'll try to sit down and write out more thoughtful suggestions later, but from what I've read and played of the demo, I'm definitely looking forward to this project!
