Yggdrasil[Fantasy][Drama][Romance] new art preview

#1 Post by MoonStar » Mon Jun 09, 2014 3:26 pm

We begin with the main character, Kusangi being held in a prison. An authoritative elven figure comes to collect him for his trial and refers to it as his execution.
The story goes back in time to his friendship with Sachi, a childhood friend. She holds a deep affection for Kusangi which will stop at nothing.
Kusangi must get to the Yggdrasil, the tree of life to fulfil his destiny.
Travel with Kusangi through many challenges that find him involved in a conspiracy and leaves him fighting for his life.

What im looking for so far is feedback critic preferably honest cruel and honest opinions with arguments why you think that
if possible im also looking for an artist to do the art as you will notice the art right now its temporary and kind of crappy
also would like to hear if you think the passing is to slow to fast if you notice plot holes or things that dont add up etc

This looks kind of cool. Only thing I would say is that maybe you should add some more info, and put the screenshots here. Also, I saw the art. Not bad, but I can see it was some type of creative commons. I get how you feel about not being able to draw though, so I'm wishing you luck in getting help. Hope to see you develop more as well :) .

I downloaded and played it up to the scene
Where the ygirl is talking with the doctor immediately after he tells her that her friend died
. At that point the game stopped. I'm not sure if that was your intention for the demo version, or if there is more and the game has a bug.

The character art and backgrounds were okay. I had difficulty with some of the dialog and the text box not fitting onto my monitor. I tried several of the screen resolutions and consistently had that problem (right had side of the text box and some dialog not appearing).

Plot holes: What is the relationship between the main character and the girl (why is she in his home waking him for school)? Your post said she was his childhood friend, but that is not explained in the VN.
Near the beginning after the girl awakens the main character there is some sort of encounter and she calls him a pervert. It is unclear to me why she would do that.
When they are at school she is on the roof preparing to jump off. Why is she going to jump?
The presence of the 'soldier' is not explained. He said is not a real soldier, and that he came from a costume party, but he has a real gun.

There are numerous capitalization and punctuation errors, as well as a few misspelled words.
For example, the personal pronoun "I" is always capitalized, and the contraction "I'm" should have an apostrophe. I suggest you have a friend who is good at spelling, capitalization, and punctuation sit down next to you at the computer and thoroughly proofread your work.
It also helps if you write dialog using a word processor program that has a built in spelling and punctuation checker.

I was very hesitant to download your VN because your introductory post appeared to have been hurriedly written (punctuation and capitalization errors are a huge turn off to me).

Don't get discouraged and don't give up. Your writing will get better.
All of my VNs are at http://wolflore.net NOTE: Downloads are now working.
Some are at http://www.the-new-lagoon.com. NSFW
Poorly done hand-drawn art is still poorly done art. Be a Poser (or better yet, use DAZ Studio 3D) - dare to be different.

First issue
its not a bug just there is no end yet since the story is still in development

Second issue
i have heard from a friend that does that to him also yet it never happened to me be it window mode or full screen or any other resolution im currently working on it

Plot holes related

1st
agree there got a bit carried away and forgot to make the introduction act tho will be added in this next update

2nd
the misunderstanding there is due to the missing art that's in the making now being half a sleep still he trip and falls over her hands on boobies and seeing her panties

3rd
she jumps cuz he seen her panties she even states that when he comes tho il re-think and re-write it better explaing

4th
the soldier indeed is not really explained but will be in the next update he is a real soldier but lies just to get her to leave peacefully when that fails .....

Punctuation grammar capitalization etc will all be fully fixed in beta currently the vn is still in alpha since the story is still being written art still being in the making etc beta will be when the story and art will be finished

Also not sure i know any word processor that has a built in spelling and punctuation checker if you could recommend one would be nice

I use Microsoft Word. It has built in checking tools.

I have used the free word processor program that comes as part of openoffice (https://www.openoffice.org/product/writer.html). It has built in spell checking.

I hope you have fun making your VN. I want to repeat one of my recommendations, that being having a friend proofread your writing before letting 'outsiders' see it. In a previous job, one of my duties was to write reports. I always had a co-worker review a report before sending it to my supervisor.

@Moon Star-

Thank you for your response; I have downloaded the file several times, and it will not open for me on my Mac. Guess I will have to give up! Too bad.

OK, so I downloaded the latest version of the story, the one specifically for Mac (supposedly). The game will not open. Sorry, I no longer care how good your story might be, I am through spending time on trying to get it to work. I have downloaded literally hundreds of visual novels in the last couple of years, and have never had this much trouble.

I downloaded the new version, but stopped as there were still incorrectly spelled words (tho is spelled though, the plural of wolf is wolves), missing punctuation (sentences end with punctuation marks), and the box containing dialog still extends beyond the right side of my computer screen (the letters 'Me' appear).

When I clicked on the link to your online version I received the error message
"http://goo.gl/0nNnZg – this URL has been disabled."
