I expect that the story will be humorous. I'm curious how much emphasis there will be on parody.Didules wrote:Do you find this synopsis interesting? What do you expect from this?
I'm interested in Nari. Will she have a friendship ending with Addie? Will they become a couple? Are both options possible?Didules wrote:Do you like the characters? If yes, do you have a favorite one?
Yes, quite a bit. I like the characters' detailed hair, and I like that most of them have fashion accessories.Didules wrote:Do you like the art style?
The premise of the story implies a double narration, that is undeniably that of a parody. However, we don't want the parody to put a stop to the plots, because the fact it's a parody doesn't mean the characters don't have a story to share. I wonder if it makes sense, sorrygekiganwing wrote:I expect that the story will be humorous. I'm curious how much emphasis there will be on parody.
Ah, it's true we didn't specify if the endings are all romantic, however Nari's route is romantic! There will also be an "all friends" ending. I hope this is not a problem As for now we haven't planned a friendship ending for Nari, but depending on the time we have left, the game may be longer, have more endings and CG. Besides, it may be relevant to the plot to also have different kind of endings...gekiganwing wrote:I'm interested in Nari. Will she have a friendship ending with Addie? Will they become a couple?

Thank you! Fashion accessories kind off are my guilty pleasure right now~gekiganwing wrote:Yes, quite a bit. I like the characters' detailed hair, and I like that most of them have fashion accessories.
Count on us for that point Our Writer is already way too into that trio for our own sakeZelan wrote:I would love to see some squabbling over Addie between Chanda and Nari.

It's true we didn't write it, I'll add it right after this. Addie is 20; Nari is also 20, Peter is 19, Emmanuel's 20, Chanda 23 and Timothy is 17 (since recently ingame). They're all in university, even Timothy (who's smarter than everyone )Zelan wrote:How old are all of the characters?
Ah, we forgot to write it, but the game is planned to be FREE. We mau put it on a "pay what you want" option, but we want people to be able to play it for free! If we extend it, make it longer, we will think about what to do and adapt, but we want people to be able to play everything that's planned for free.Crazy Cactus wrote:A: I would play the game, if the price is right; absolutely.
Our writer also has a thing for her, so we will definitely tackle her story dutifullyCrazy Cactus wrote:A: Definitely Nari. She's got the punk/rock feel to her, almost out-cast like, that draws me to her. Would be interested to learn more about her and who she is (what makes her "tick").
As the artist, I am ashamed for not realizing it. I'll try to fix this in other characters' design and background characters. We should have realized it sooner to include some more diversity... we focused on other fthings and let this pass... >_< Thanks a lot for pointing this out!Crazy Cactus wrote:A: My only concern is that the hair style/design for many of the males looks and/or feels the same, for several of them. It's slightly distracting. Plus, just in my own opinion, I can definitely see more of a bishounen (pretty boy) feel to all the males, which makes me wish there was a guy that was a tad more masculine.
Addison is a very peculiar person, and since we don't like damsel in distress, she's not really the kind to need someone to stand for her beliefs. We'll maker sure to fullfil your expectations!Crazy Cactus wrote:Aside from that, I also want to say that I actually like the character of Addie very much. The name is unusual an different, she seems looks like she's a quirky, straight-faced (maybe sarcastic) kind of person that knows how to stand up for herself, which is nice, instead of a damsel in distress.
Addie definitely isn't that type of girl To be honest we gave her ideas she believes in, and the will to express them. We really hope you'll like her ingame!MissArel wrote:Yeah, I like MCs that are not typical "oh im so weak and quiet" type of girl, so i like Addie :3 I also like the parody aspect of it. ^^
Ah, we hope you'll like him ingame as well then!!MissArel wrote:I like the characters, normally Im not that into gentleman types but I like Emmanuel the most.
Thanks a lot! Details are a bother to draw, but reading comments like this makes it totally worth spending more time on the art =3MissArel wrote:Oh yes, I like the details -it gives soul to the drawing I think-

It would be if someone wonderful hadn't posted a tutorial about animations and explained it dutifully to me~ Expect to be in the credits as soon as we do themHelianthus wrote:Ohoh, a new game with many endings and some animation? Looks like you're outdoing yourself yet again
Woops, it's true that in this version of the synopsis we left the number of 4... To be honest we hesitated about giving Timothy a route. We still don't know, but he's not included in our deadlines. Synopsis fixed thanks to you, thanks a lot ! I cannot say too much because of spoiler alerts, but there are 5 endings, 4 full routes planned atm.Helianthus wrote:Dumb question: who is romanceable exactly? You're writing that there are 4 love interests but you're introducing 5 characters after Addie so I'm a bit confused about who could be the side character . The last one maybe?
Crazy Cactus and Helianthus, je vous ai compris.Helianthus wrote:And I kinda agree with Crazy Cactus: the artstyle is nice but the characters look very similar. For example: Chanda, Nari and Peter have all body piercings and short hair, furthermore Chanda and Peter are both dark-skinned! Altering some of their features could be interesting to set them apart!
Peter's eyes look amazing in this sketch! ^_^ It's like he's looking right at me.Didules wrote:
If it's smaller than 1 foot, you use inches. Otherwise, you use both. ^_^ (e.g. 4 feet and 2 inches). The only time that we use just feet is for whole numbers (e.g. 2 feet).Didules wrote:(do people use feet or inches in this case?))
That’s me. I usually have little time to post on Lemma but since I’m going round and round in circles while waiting for my campaign to finish, I thought I’d go support some devsDidules wrote:Oh my, hello Helia!!!!
Well, I’m not the one coding the game from start to finish, am I? You should give yourself more credit for your workDidules wrote:It would be if someone wonderful hadn't posted a tutorial about animations and explained it dutifully to me~ Expect to be in the credits as soon as we do them
In that case, you could openly mention it in the topic to avoid any confusion. Just say that you’re considering adding a route for him if you have some time leftDidules wrote:Woops, it's true that in this version of the synopsis we left the number of 4...

If you’ve made changes and that they have widly different sizes and color schemes, I think it’ll be alright then. The portraits you posted are rather small so we have to focus on their faces but the full picture could give a very different feeling! I think I’m going to wait for the sprite to have a better idea of the result before saying anything ^^.Didules wrote:First of all, Chanda doesn't have a piercing anymore (it wouldn't have been practical, besides I tend to forget it ).
We have changed Peter's haircut[...] Also there is something that is impossible to guess, but they all have different body type and clothing. Chanda is as short as Addison, whereas Peter is our tallest characters[...] They also have different color schemes, tho they seemed too close and we also changed them, so it'll be easier to set the characters apart.
Ah, but he actually is...Zelan wrote:Peter's eyes look amazing in this sketch! ^_^ It's like he's looking right at me.
It actually does, the English system really is complex >< Thanks for explaining! Feels like I understand it better ((Also, I hate the English measurement system. Even the English don't use it anymore. :/ Metric makes so much more sense.)
Eh, remember you're the one who indirectly taught me one could actually do a visual novel easily?Helianthus wrote:Well, I’m not the one coding the game from start to finish, am I? You should give yourself more credit for your work
It's actually a good thing to know, next time I do some promotional art, I'll think about how to show the size and the color scheme. Thanks for the advicesHelianthus wrote:I think I’m going to wait for the sprite to have a better idea of the result before saying anything ^^.
Thanks a lot!! It actually didn't take more than a 3 hours to do it and color itZelan wrote:The main menu screen looks fantastic! ^_^How long did that broken glass take to draw? It's so detailed.
