8 Textbox Sets [public domain]

[OokamiKasumi]

I completely missed that you added a notebook design! Oh, that's going to be very nice for some settings, very nice indeed.

I'm glad you like it!

And completely hypothetical question: If I was crazy/stupid enough to attempt's to make your "half NVL" box into a full one, how horrible/interesting do you think that would look?

If the person doing it is good with Photoshop, it Can be done but it will look stretched. They'd also have to cut the Quick-box off the bottom and reattach it to the bottom of the elongated image, or make it a separate graphic.

A better option would be to just ask me to do it since I have all the PSDs.

Example:

Yup, that is definitely the better option... I doubt I would have been able to do that properly myself. It looks great!

Since you mentioned asking... any chance of trying that out for the other ones too? *hies*

ALL of them...? What for?
-- If you're going to use full-page NVL mode you don't need fancy boxes. In fact, they'd actually be distracting from the text. Just use the normal, NVL mode black transparency.

[Blane Doyle]

True. I was just thinking it would look interesting or unique, but you bring up a good problem with that. Sorry for asking...

It never hurts to ask. There's no such thing as a stupid question.
-- It would look interesting and unique. In fact, too interesting and too unique. This is why it defeats its purpose. It distracts the reader from what they should be doing: Reading the text, not admiring the text-box. (Keep in mind that I'm coming from a writer's point of view, not an artist's.)

All the different parts of a visual novel; music, interface graphics, words, images, backgrounds... should blend together to enhance the story. When one part stands out more than the others --because it's too good compared to the rest, or because it's not good enough to match the rest, or simply because it's unique-- it's distracting and that tends to throw everything else off balance, especially the Player.

In this case, Less really is More.

Ugh, I need to get Untramen to make the opening post look better >_> We used your Blood textbox in The Lockdown of Shinisou Elementary! I'm working on making a second build since it'll be re-uploaded somewhere else anyway, and I forgot to credit you the first time >_> Check it out if you have the time O:

Thanks for sharing these, they're awesome! If I get stuck on my own, I definitely will give them a try.

Define "Cute." Maybe I can help?

[Virelai]

These are lovely designs teehee.
I probably won't be using them, because they don't fit the theme of my story. I was going to use the sticky-note one, but then I felt it was a bit too...yanno...?

I might be using the 'blood' one for a horror VN I might be doing in the near future.

I like them a lot~♥

These are lovely. It's nice of you to share them. I hope someone gets to use a set.

A few people have already. My horror set appears to be fairly popular. I do graphics as a way to jog my creative juices, so most of these were just experiments in style. I'd make more, but I have no idea what people are looking for.
