Re: The Pirate Mermaid [GxB][Fantasy][9/15]
I like a good GxG path as much as I like a good GxB path and it's fun to see games that have both. That said, I do really want to play this so it's hard to come out completely in favor of anything that'll delay its release.
If you do add one I am certainly in favor of keeping the fanservice to a reasonable level. Panty shots in particular are a huge turn off for me... not that I imagine this cast will provide many opportunities for them.

(BTW I'm a girl, but maybe some girls would rather have a bit of fan-service ^^) The more realistic, the better! It can also make your game stand out
Well then good luck for everything!!

I can't wait to play the full game!
I don't mind either way, but I'd rather not have a GxG path if it means the game getting released sooner.
Good Luck!

KittyKatStar wrote:I actually wouldn't mind the GxG path... It'd be nice to see a GxG path aimed for females (since I enjoy GxB and GxG and having both choices in one game is awesome.)
But it's up to you, you guys are working so hard already so don't overload yourselves. ^^
Thanks for the input! We'll let you know our final decision when we're closer to completion date :3Flowers from Nowhere wrote:I like a good GxG path as much as I like a good GxB path and it's fun to see games that have both.

We're sorry for the delay OTL But we promise this project won't get abandoned, we're still working hard on it! Thanks for your patience and encouragement!

You're right about that... I'll edit it! Thanks for the feedbackAERenoir wrote: Ooo, is pretty!!! The sorcerer looks 10x more amazing! XD
Uh... I hate to whine, but the main character's face looks rather off. Her eyes seem squashed to the middle. Maybe you could shift the right eye (our right, her left) to the right a bit?
I'll just leave some art sketches... Because who likes updates without images? //shot Random sketch request of the characters accepted to kick my motivation (and it might be good to be used in-game as actual CG too!) since I'm being uber lazy here in extremely hot climate of India... OTL
Once again, thanks for your continuous support
Cheers~

Haven't seen an update post in ages any new progress on the game?
Re: The Pirate Mermaid [GxB][Fantasy][9/15]
I too wonder what happened. I haven't seen an update for quite some time. Is everything all right?

I can't really speak for them, but Nellie will be traveling across the globe soon, and Aro is balancing a few other projects. So they're alive and well. ^_^v

Re: The Pirate Mermaid [GxB][Fantasy][9/15]
Hey guys! It's really nice to see that people still remember our project. ^_^
Sorry we've gotten so lax about posting here, but the game is definitely still going. Both Nellie and I are pretty busy this week, but I promise to put together a nice big compilation update this weekend (including new images and maybe a short video clip). Hope you can check back then.

@ Rosstin
They’re automatic shirtless scenes! ;D

Time for our big weekend compilation update! Sorry again for being so bad about posting; I think we tend to be shy about showing things that aren’t completely finalized. But hey, that’s what a WIP thread is for, right?
First up, we have some updated sprite art. Prince Mikali’s art is more or less complete, while the others are still in progress. I quite like the new sprites – they’re very expressive and fun to play around with!
Prince Mikali
Sorcerer
Malik and MC
You can see the new art for Mikali in action in the video below. I’ve coded a new system to handle sprite transitions, which makes it a lot easier to work with all the poses and expressions. I also channeled Jack and applied some shiny effects to his hair and necklace. I hope it’s not too distracting?
Next up is some of the background art that comes after the demo. I think we’ve posted some of these images before, but I’ve compiled them all so you can get an overall idea of what the mermaid kingdom looks like (the sunset beach being the one exception, of course).
And here are some CG previews. The full images are pretty spoilery, so I’ll only show snippets for now.
Script wise, Prince Mikali’s path is done (which is why most of the images above are related to him, haha), and I am about halfway through the sorcerer’s path (his backstory has changed a bit, so some rewriting was necessary ). The current wordcount is around 130k. I’ll keep chugging along, and am planning to do videos of some new scenes once the sprites are finished. ^_^
As for music, Ziassan was kind enough to compose a few songs to replace the CC music in our demo! He’s very talented, so please give them a listen. If you haven’t heard the new version of our opening song (composed by Trial and Error, sung by the lovely Nani), I’ve linked that below as well.
Shattered Sonata (storm theme)
Sea Puzzle (fairytale theme)
The Pirate Mermaid OP (lyrics)
I think that about sums it up for now. Instead of doing NaNoRenO this year, we’re going to do WorkOnExistingProjectO, so hopefully we’ll make some good progress this month as well. Thanks again to everyone following our game! As always, your comments, questions, feedback, etc. are all warmly welcomed.

Re: The Pirate Mermaid [GxB][Fantasy][3/3/14]
Thank you very much for the update! I love the expressions---they're really cute, and will surely give me diabetes.
The backgrounds are really lovely too. The sun on the water . . . wow.
