When The Rain Falls (Commercial, Comedy, BxG, BxB)

[Rinima]

Quick questions:
1. How do the characters sound? Since this is pretty early development time, I can change them around according to what you guys say.
2. Which characters sound most interesting to you and why?
3. What do you think of the art?
4. The plan is to have it be a PG, but would you guys like it if it's maybe got a higher rating?

1. They all seem to be cute girls with different personalities so yeah they're alright. I can't really judge before seeing how their characters pay out in the game
2. Anna, I like girls with issues it makes them non Jane doe
3. Too much boobs
4. That depends on the content of the game, but PG is good though right? (larger audience)

Good luck!

1. Point
2. Good good.
3. I'm... not sure if your joking or not considering you can't actually see any boobs?
4. Again, point.

Thanks dude

3. I'm... not sure if your joking or not considering you can't actually see any boobs?

I'm pretty sure Xero's comment refers to how, er, talented all the ladies are. (And if my reference eludes you, I mean that the women whose sprites are currently visible all have ample bosoms.)

Ahh, I see. I should probably ask the next girl to to have *ahem* less talent. Honestly, I wasn't really thinking about it when I asked for a girl sprite

[Rinima]

Sprites for the demo are nearly done, just need one more sprite and then we can move onto CG's!

Heres Aerona!

[Hoosha]

O.O OOH what's the BxB option? Yaoiiiiiiiiii!! <3

[Rinima]

O.O OOH what's the BxB option? Yaoiiiiiiiiii!! <3

Don't worry, the BxB option (Ben) will be shown within a day or so :3

[Rinima]

First BG

[Rinima]

Ben's sprite is done! With that, all the sprites for the demo are finished


I'm not planning on updating this thread once a month were either 1 or 2 BG's will be done, an extra 15% of the writing, a CG or 2 will be done and possible one music track.
I'll be back in a month!

[Rinima]

Monthly update:
1 BG done:


Two pieces of music done:
https://soundcloud.com/sythalic-media/first-rain (Hayley's theme)
https://soundcloud.com/sythalic-media/afternoon-basking

Music should be coming along much faster next month.

GUI is underway thanks to DesertFox. Sythalic Media is also getting it's own logo.

Also, new questions:
1. How long would you like the demo to be overall? I have a general plan, but I want to know if 2-3 hours is to long or not?
2. Is £10 (about $15) to much to pay considering this game is going to be a year long?

[Rinima]

Last update/post for the year!
Will start posting more after the new year

But for now: I leave you with a Christmas gift from Omnirhythm
Have a good Christmas/whatever religious celebration you enjoy everyone

1. Interesting, though some sound a little cliche I'm sure they'll have their own secrets.
2. Aerona interests me, although she sounds rather perfect, I've known people who seem like angels until you see the mess in their lives. It makes me curious.
3. Pretty, but yeah... too much boobs.
4. Frankly, I like it when things are PG.

1. Indeed they do Hopefully by the time the demo comes around they won't seem so cliche
2. Oh dear XD Perfect certainly isn't the way I would describe her
3. Yea.... ah well, I might ask for them to be edited down a bit later one.
4. Good good, cause it's be decided that this will be PG.

Small update:
- Load/Save screen done (I think)
- Config screen done (I think)
- Text box and yes/no box done (I think)
- holding off BG's for this month
- 1st CG still in production

- Convinced my friend to sing for me
- " " edit for me (undergrad in English Lit)
- text sample will be posted in a few days

This sounds like it will be fun! So far I like Anna and Aerona the most, but the entire cast seems good, really. Plus, I adore these types of simple yet memorable character designs. Definitely looking forward to the demo, and it might just convince me to make this one of the first commercial VN I'm playing.

For now I'll focus on these questions -

1. How long would you like the demo to be overall? I have a general plan, but I want to know if 2-3 hours is to long or not?
2. Is £10 (about $15) to much to pay considering this game is going to be a year long?

1. The 2 - 3 hours range seems perfect, actually. Short enough to play in one go without getting distracted, but long enough to get into the story/characters. If that was the general plan, I'd say go for it.
2. I think it's a wonderful price, probably even too cheap. But this is coming from an artist/writer/programmer who always considers just how much work is needed for a project like this, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

About how they're so *cough* talented. It's not necessarily the actual size, just the way they are. When you have big boobs they just don't fall like that. It looks like "too much boobs" (as people have been saying) partly because of how they seem to be disconnected from the body. Unless they are all not wearing bras (which they should be with that cup size ><) their boobs wouldn't fall down like that, and instead would be more supported.

Okay...now that I've finished my boob analysis I'll just leave... *shuffles awkwardly out of the door*

Apart from that minor thing the sprites look great and I'm glad there's a BxB option. My brother's name is Ben, though, so I can't help but think of him! *curses memory association*

My goodness I hope so Hope we can live up to your expectations ^_^

1. That's good then I though longer than that would be way to long for a demo and shorter wouldn't give the player enough time to settle into the game and get a feel for it.
2. Probably is to cheap really, but that seems to be what the market is like at the moment for VN's.

Unfortunately, that's an artistic choice I believe, so I wouldn't feel comfortable asking him to 'correct' it. But thank you for the input on the issue anyway, I'll try to take it into consideration in future projects

Haha, whoops, I'm guessing that you might not go for him then XD
