This sounds like the greatest idea ever conceived. I'm watching this one closely for sure.

I probably won't be posting updates here every day (I have a tumblr for that purpose ;) ) but I am trying to respond individually to every comment here. This is what I was working on today:

So I think I can say that the first CG is successfully completed! <3

I love the inks on that CG! Big bold black shadows don't get done enough in anime influenced things. The hair is especially good.

- How do you feel about the premise of this story?
Very silly, but could be very fun. I enjoy parodies.

- Given the minimal information provided, which "romanceable" seems most interesting to you, and why?
Square. I'm not one for Tsunderes or super flirts. Also the Square is a pun even in their name so extra points.

- What are your feelings about otome games in general? What about blatantly ridiculous "otome" games?
I'm not a big Otome player, but I LOVE Hatoful Boyfriend. That said the reason I love that isn't because "Lol you're dating pigeons", even though that was what made me pay attention: It's that Hato took a completely stupid concept but then wrote it really really well, turned all your expectations on their heads and made you genuinely care what happens to the characters. Deeply silly dating games can be fun but for me to fall in love with them there's gotta be something strong in the core of it. :)

- What are your feelings about terrible puns? (Would you like to see characters punished for their bad jok--okay, I'll see myself out.)
Well your thread is shaping up pretty well as far as I can see. Of course now I'm wondering if there's gonna be any love triangles...

Finished up basic GUI for Lads in Distress today, and started on the GUI for misSHAPEn!

I modified the main menu...

and tested the CG with the new textbox~

I'm definitely debating whether to include love triangle(s), haha... just so I can turn it into a wrecktangle. :P

Weenily's pic of the girl kissing the square had me giggling.

I love your CG art Alcor. It's beautiful.

The fact that you describe the routes as shapes is killing me, hahaha. No wait, for real? NOT GUYS BUT SHAPES? WHAT?! T...that's definetly innovative alright.... Wow!

I'd like to comment on the art and GUI. I feel like you are over usign your blacks. The lineart and shading would look better if they were colored or made a low saturation brown instead.
As for the GUI, might I suggest using grey for backgrounds and non-interactuables, non-saturated blu for interactuables and also contour everything that's over posed with a white outline? That would make it way more appealing to the eyes, user friendly and intuitive!

Side Comment: I just finished my degree in videogame developement, and I'm really good at finding loopholes in story, character and design, and also providing solutions. I'm like a beta tester but for design instead of mechanics, haha.
If you need any review or feedback with the script, lore or whatever, be sure to message me because I'd love to help you with this project.
Please, check my NaNoRenO entry!

I have finished the full GUI for this project and am currently working on more CGs. (Please see the first post for the GUI screeshots!) I intend to being the writing in a little bit. :D

Hello! Thank you for your input, but the use of bold blacks is a conscious stylistic choice. (If you look at my other work, you will see that this is not how I usually color.) Your suggestion for GUI being more intuitive is definitely justified, but I don't think it would work as well for this project.

Congratulations on your degree! I'm not looking for help at the moment, but thank you for the offer.

It's a cute idea and I enjoy personification of pretty much anything. If it's personification of something, very likely I will check it out. lol. There are endless possibilities and I welcome any cute/funny/interesting ones.

I like that the protagonist is a star. I really like the personality and quotes given to the shapes. This seems fun and I'm curious about how the story will be told.

And as for your questions..........

- How do you feel about the premise of this story?
Sounds like a silly fun time to me. :)

- Given the minimal information provided, which "romanceable" seems most interesting to you, and why?
I think I will have to go with Circle because its quote just invoked the song, 'You Spin Me Round' in my head, and that's always a good time. lol. Also, sometimes flirty characters could be fun.

- What are your feelings about otome games in general? What about blatantly ridiculous "otome" games?
I like them and sometimes I would go search for any new ones, even ones that I can't play, I'll still be curious and check out a review or some information about it. Sometimes I might feel otome games are lacking interesting stories that aren't gimmicky or there aren't any interesting different characters that have depth to them. Sometimes they aren't relatable and believable. But they don't always have to be, sometimes if it's just fun to play, then I won't mind it being unbelievable and such. The blatantly ridiculous ones can be awfully fun and it's great to laugh or be giggly at them. ^^


- What are your feelings about terrible puns? (Would you like to see characters punished for their bad jok--okay, I'll see myself out.)
They are what draw me into this game. ;)

Seriously, I love them. Maybe they can be overdone or run its course but most likely I'll be happy to see them. :)

Bring on the punny times! :D

1- I like square because he's blue and the serious type XD.

2- I like otome games a lot though BxB seems to be my most fav at the moment. As long as the characters have personality and the idea interests me I'll play. I still do love otome games since they got me into visual novels. And sure, I'd love to play ridiculous "otome" games. I'm open for that =D.

3- I love terrible puns XD.


Anyway good luck with this. This is definitely something new and funny =). I'm going to play it once you get it out.
