Update:

Sousuke's CG WIP here

I almost have enough for a beta version. I just need help actually creating a game file from the Ren Py script. Can anyone help me with this?

That water looks a little... viscous, haha.

But to make a game build, use the "Build Distributions" link in the launcher.

Who every said it was water? *wink wink nudge nudge*
Haha, but yea it just turned out that way because I'm not very good with drawing water. Lol

And thanks, I figured it out and should have the beta up by next week.
It won't have any music or sounds and I haven't drawn Gou or Mikoshiba yet.
But I'd still like to get feedback on what I have done so far. =]
I'm particularly happy with how much I've learnt about image manipulations using Ren py so far =D

Beta's lint stats thus far:
The game contains 197 dialogue blocks, containing 2,240 words and 11,612
characters, for an average of 11.4 words and 59 characters per block.

The game contains 2 menus, 50 images, and 12 screens.

I'd suggest just removing the line of water between the bottle and his mouth xD Water doesn't have enough tension to form a string like that.

And then it'd be less, uh, questionable xD

Oh that makes sense. Lol. I'll look up a few more reference pictures and change the water soon.
Thanks for always providing useful feedback =D



On another note:
I plan to release a beta version in two weeks time~!! Front post for more info.
I'm really hoping to get some good feedback from the beta.

Hey all~!!
Here's a lineart WIP for Gou. I'm considering using the same colour swatch for her as the one used for Rin.
So any comment on the pose, outfit and lineart itself would be appreciated.

1. Should I add more jewelry?
2. What sport of pattern should I add to her shawl during the colouring process? [Same as Rin or different]
3. What do you think of her hair?

Emerald and sapphire necklace!!!

I am really satisfied with the story so far and you put it in a way that really makes me want to play the full game. There weren't any major problems I noticed, only a typo:
As the ruler of this land, I can't show any kind of weakness in front of others.
Espcially not in front of Sousuke or Ai.
Should be 'Especially'

It looked like Gou's sprite wasn't yet finished as her necklace didn't have shading, but I don't think that's a big deal for a beta. The coloring was well done anyway. Face expression changes were nicely done too.

So I am not disappointed in any way, you did put an admirable amount of work into it, and I hope it will turn out even greater in the end. Thanks for this nice experience.

Sorry I'm so late to reply, I did see your response on the release day, but only just got to the editing of the game recently. Lol.
The typo has been fixed. You are strangely the only one to have noticed it.

Gou's sprite has also been edited and finished. A lot of people commented on the anatomy and background art, so those are the two things I will be working on.
Everyone's had positive feedback on the story and characters staying in character though, so that's good. =]
