Additional characters (I need a consultation)

#1 Post by lilyalex »

I'm making a game, but don't have good taste, could you , please tell me if aditional characters benefit the scene or make it worse?

Actually only two, the central heroes are talking, but the others are present, they do their part, but without saying a word. This is why I do not know if I should show them.

NOTE: The pictures are DRAFTs. They will be finished accordingly.

Edit: Since you edited your post after I made my initial comment, I'll just delete most of what I previously posted.

Do what makes you happy, it's your VN.

Some of my visual novels are at http://www.the-new-lagoon.com. They are NSFW
Poorly done hand-drawn art is still poorly done art. Be a Poser (or better yet, use DAZ Studio 3D) - dare to be different.

Basicly this. If we know the contect of the image, then maybe the extra characters might add to it.

Take for example the first set of images. If it's supposed to be a romantic scene, then the girl in the 2nd image is unnessisary. But say for example it'ss a scene where that girl is doing a commercial for soda, then it makes sense to have her.

The only thing that's jarring is the fact that those extra characters are of a totally different style than the others.
