Congratulations on thinking outside the box with the story idea!
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.

Yay this looks so interesting! Gorgeous MC, too! Kato-producer sure is busy with this much stuff to oversee, no?
Any estimation on the progress at this point?

Haha, there's still a few things that are happening behind closed doors too, but I guess I like too keep busy! :)

Ill look at writing up a progression bar hopefully today, but so far the whole general story is mapped out and now we are just coloring it in.

I'm currently trying my gosh darnedest to get the vocals I have in mind. The composer however is all but set in stone (I'll be keeping that a secret for now though ;P). I'm looking at having 4 fully original songs, with vocals, and a number of original hiphop/rnb themed tracks throughout the game.

That's the plan anyway! If the game receives enough hype to warrant a larger soundtrack I'm all for it. I love this genre of music so the more the better in my books! :D

I've just finished negotiating and I got my first choice in... Well, in everything! It'll be a surprise who I've managed to lock down but they are pretty well known in quite a few circles. I'm really excited for it now! :D

I can't help but noticing that everyone so far is wearing blue and has a blue-ish hair. Is it intentional? XD

The colour is used a lot to, more or less, set an atmosphere around the characters, though it's purely a coincidence that these ones, looking so similar colour-wise, have been put up first. The other sprites have a bit more diversity in them (the next one I'll be updating with will be Brian, a blonde haired, blue eyed pretty boy). :p
