I love the designs, especially Karon's. That hair! I'm interested in seeing what you're going to do with the premise, although Karon's predicament worries me, ahaha... Death-related experiments sound risky... (And your jokes are funny! It would be great if you made it a dark comedy.)

Thank you! She was going to have black hair but I thought I don't have a lot of
white haired characters...XD
I hope I manage to finish this, it's very very short but I got so fixated on the visuals lately that...I'm scared XD

Carrogath
I thought I missed your thread or something :A:! Post it, post it!
Well Priam starts kinda gentle with her experiments, of course there is a point where Karon wants to back off like crazy.
But I will not spoil more haha.
I hope we manage to complete our games too! :A: Good luck XD!

Since many people seems to like Karon's hair. I will post my source of inspiration.
I was bored one day and I remember my sister gifted me a book about costumes of the world.
So I started doodling in reference of the picture I'm adding here:
karonrefeff.jpg
Her first concept is pasted on my journal. I can take a photo later. Also I can post everyone else refs too.
(Note that between costume's references there is a gap of one or two decades)

For today I will be writting!

:a:Ahaha I'm so honored! I can't wait to see Blind Griffin done with your gorgeous art!

Oh man I feel so motivated right now, I hope I don't mess up orz

Some updates:

Wrote 1k today(I'm sorry, writing is not my forte...)
And decided to do some sprite variations(Like I said on my tumblr, this are just crop, paint over and draw little parts)

Also! Since I think the game will be very very very short, I was planning to write some stuff in the extras. I already have one story
involving two characters, but I would like you to decide which other characters will have an extra story. The two most voted will be
part of it. (So far Karon and Virgil are first. I'm surprised for Virgil, no one ever said anything about him!)
Please vote!

Your art is beautiful as always, clua! And wow, I can't believe you already finished so much stuff. So fast, it's really amazing. *_*

As for two splash screens, do you mean having one screen showing after the other? Or switching to a new splashscreen later on?

Ahhh you are god sent! Thank you so much for asking I hope this is nothing tedious or such I don't want to be a bother.
Or switching to a new splashscreen later on?
This one! I already have labeled splashscreen with the scene I posted up there. But I just want it to be shown once. If you happen to see the splash screen again, it should be the regular one that shows the group/individual name.

The art looks beautiful and the premise seems really intriguing. Can't wait!

No worries, it's not a bother at all! :D Have you tried using persistent variables to record when people have seen the special scene?

Maybe something like this:

Code: Select all

label splashscreen:
    if persistent.firsttime == False:
        "normal logo splashscreen"
    else:
        "special intro splashscreen"
        $ persistent.firsttime=False
    return

Thank you for your support! I think I might be able to do it :A:!

Arowana
:A;! I just tested it a while ago and it worked perfectly! Thank you so much!!

Jintii
AAA! So you were here too XD! Thank you so much I hope I don't dissapoint.

Crap I forgot to say, I'm working on coding all the art I have now, since It takes a while. I'm on 5k now, that's a bit more than the half of the game. Also extra stories are almost done!
