Re: slit-mouth girl [short kn][horror]
I've always loved scary urban legends, and Japan's kuchisake-onna has always been one of my favorite short horror stories ever, haha. Curious to see what you'll come up with! Good luck!

I'm fascinated of how this short tale plays out. Looking forward of reading this particular short horror story.

Re: slit-mouth girl [short kn][horror]
The story is going to be good, I can tell (being a fan of the original urban legend).
It might be good to clean up the main post for your WIP in progress thread. Seperate information into clear topics (E.G. story overview, characters, game play, progress, and so on). You will do a better job of selling your game idea to other developers. Then we can offer better advice to you.
Hope to see this game finished!

That's alright. I just think its best to show a clear picture of what you intend to make to other developers.unknown5 wrote:heh, sry. i was being lazy. i'll organize it better.

Re: slit-mouth girl [short kn][horror]
- thanks! and your project and website look amazing. jeez, that's a lot of work.
- bookmarked your blog. people sharing their knowledge and experience is very informative.
- most of my stuff start as one-person projects, so i try to save time by minimizing extra work, ignoring the real world, not capitalizing my sentences, etc. heh.
- also, stilts has been showing me some sweet character designs. =)
EDIT: oh, it's now a VN with5 endings. 6 endings

Re: slit-mouth girl [short VN][horror]
Here are two final character spirtes. The art style is going to have a black and white aesthetic as well as a yellow motif so they're deliberately rough and sketchy.

Here's the final set of characters. I had a really good time coming up with these guys and the fact that they're all black and white made it relatively painless XD

Re: slit-mouth girl [short VN][horror]
Oooh... The art looks so pretty o: It's so stylish!
For some reason, the designs remind me a little of the persona 4 characters XD Maybe because of the yellow and black.
And I've always thought the rumor of the slit-mouthed woman interesting.
Have you read Romy Ashby's 'The Cutmouth Lady'? It's a book of short, mostly horror-y stories set in Japan, written by a woman who was brought up in Japan. Maybe you would like it, it had some cool stuff about Japanese urban legends.
I will look forward to this project o: Good luck!

Re: slit-mouth girl [short VN][horror]
I'm glad you like them
The reason for the yellow motif is for a similar reason why persona 4 used it: yellow, and particularly black and yellow, evoke a sense of fear and danger. I thought this was rather appropriate given the genre.
