Black Lotus(BxB,Mystery,Horror,Thriller)-Update Please Read!

[pocoscon]

Do you like the premise of the story?
I'm a sucker for mysteries and horrors so yes, I think the premise of the story sounds interesting.

What do you think of the characters?
I love the huge variety in the cast - each individual character is so different from the others. I think their personalities are well thought out and realistic.

If so, who do you like the most?
Pretty tough question, but I would have to say Yoshiro. Who can't resist the super sweet and shy boys? They always have interesting secrets to hide.

What do you think of the art?
I think the art is fantastic. No complaints on that!

Do you have any tips?
From my ten minutes worth of experience visual novel making, I can't really say much. All I can say is, since this project seems rather new, try to keep everyone constantly in the loop and motivated! I see a lot of projects dropped because of one or two team members that have just off and went suddenly. Setting several small goals with realistic deadlines helps manage the project, let your team divide their workload and motivate them to get things done!

Again, thank you so much for the feedback. And I'm glad each character is diverse. I always felt that they were boring or too generic 0_0. And I've noticed a lot of people like Yoshiro XD. I thought Keith would be more liked because he's the 'bad boy' type and they can get quite popular in some games. And thank you again. Silversnow has worked very hard on their styles and making them come alive. I owe her a lot =)

And I understand what you mean. Both of us are highly motivated to get this done and we're excited to see it out in completed games. I have no intention of letting it die even if things become slow. I really do love working on it with Silversnow, and am proud of all the work we're doing for it

Yay, another BL!...Okay that was quite a lot of text...finished!
Do you like the premise of the story?
Yeah, I love mystery and it seem intriguing.
What do you think of the characters?
I like them.Each character seem interesting in their own way, and their design are unique, too. I liked Eren's design the most
If so, who do you like the most?
I would go with Takeda because I have a thing for childhood friend who turned bad boy with yandere potential
What do you think of the art?
Designs is unique, and art is ok for the most part except some of the guys. Takeda's body is a bit off center and his right hand look too stiff, it should be bended a little. Maybe make Eren's abdomen a bit wider because it look way too thin.Also even though guy doesn't have hip as wide as girl, their hip should still be visibly wider than their waist at front view when they don't wear baggy clothes like Yasu's.
Do you have any tips?
Just my personal thought...but maybe you should make the introduction a bit more vague because I felt a bit spoiled reading the summary

Thank you so much for the feedback . And yes, I really have gotten into BL and can't help but make a game with it as a genre. I'll admit this is my first time doing a mystery story, but it's not like a detective style story, so I'm hoping that I can do a bit better because of that. And thank you so much ^^. I'm glad the character appeal to you in both personality and design. I won't deny that sometimes when I make up the personalities they seem a bit bland or to generic. Always a problem I've had for some reason . And thanks for the tips on the art to and the introduction. I think I made it a bit less vague, but I'm not sure. I've always been bad at summaries

Do you like the premise of the story?
The premise seems interesting and it's Bx B Definitely will follow this

What do you think of the characters?
So far no problem with the characters. I hope Yasu as the protagonist have some personality though instead of your stereotypical protagonist with male lead

If so, who do you like the most?
Ardalain Milest sprites is the most sexy so far! Ehehe.

What do you think of the art?
The art (the sprites I'm talking about) is just mediocre. Not too great or fantastic, but it serves its purpose at least. They are distinguishable though, which is good point.

Do you have any tips?
Well, I'm not good VN writer either but if you're planning to make this a long game you'd better start to organize from a little

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Took a break with expression works to do this special. Must admit it's my first time to make a BL artwork...

[SilverSnow]

Felt like posting a preview of one of the many chibi versions to be worked on. Pretty busy IRL but I am continuing to work on the expression sets needed for the demo.

Update 06/11/14-Sorry guys, but I kind of messed up the demo date. I rushed the date and that didn't give us much time to do art, finish the writing, and go over everything, so it'll take a bit longer then I thought. Good news is I've reached 19,000 words in the story. Prologue is almost finished and I'm writing the first chapter =). I'll admit that the writing might go a bit slow this month. I'm a kind of pressed for time because of school and have lately been down due to some bad past experiences with depression. Still, we're giving it our all and I'm really grateful for Silversnow and all the hard work she's putting into the art. She's really helping the story come to life and has motivated me to keep going no matter what obstacles come in our way. So, for those who support us, thank you =).

[SilverSnow]

Huge thanks for everyone dropping by this thread! (ᅌᴗᅌ* )

I'm glad both Art and Script are going well! ^^ Just sent Pocoscon the 2nd set of expressions! Still working on sprites and I'll probably get the 3rd set done by next week or much earlier depending on how free I'll be.
Just wanted you to know the two of us are still alive °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

See you soon!
