WIP - Flower Shop aka Deji's motivational thread!

[jack_norton]

What I don't think is nice, is making public the production issues you have with your artist.

It's not really an "issue". I just try to motivate her, but I didn't say anythig bad about her work, no? (and I would be a fool to say that)

She's doing an exceptional work. I know she likes WIP progress thread, so I sometimes post new stuff hoping to boost her energies, that's all (and it already worked well in the past).
I don't make every post adding comments like "that lazy ass of Deji should work faster!" or similar
Sorry if this hasn't been clear. (I am sure Deji understand it completely though).

EDIT: After reading the thread again I understand what you mean, and I edited my previous post

Like everybody, I wish to see this promising game completed. :)

edit : just saw your edit, that's nice :)

Well, I like how this is looking. Keep up the good work, both of you! I'd love to see what this looks like.

(Just for the record, is this freeware or paid download? Probably the latter, yes?)

[Deji]

Looks lovely so far, jack <3 I like the thighs-up plane better in this screenshot than o the first one with Susana
Btw, we could make a flowery custom text box later... I'm sure it'd look lovely <3

I'll try to work on more sprites soon... I'm really sorry ._. Family issues are worst than ever right now Dx

[jack_norton]

Ah damn, I'm sorry to hear that hope you manage to solve them soon!

And yes, thought about a flowerbox of some sort as window, could be nice indeed

[Midnighticequeen]

I'm sorry about your family issues, Deji, I hope they work themselves out soon.

Looking good , but then I'm one of the subtitle-style-convinced . The only advice I have is to keep an eye on color contrast : dark text color with black outlines won't have much contrast and won't be easy to read on dark backgrounds. On this example screenshot, I find the text doesn't "pop out" enough for example. Maybe have a narrower shadow drop, use a lighter (pastel) text color or go with dark colors but a white-ish outline

In any case, this is looking good, so keep it up guys

[jack_norton]

Well deji just sent a mockup with a lovely color-themed box, so I'm probably going to use that...

I just realized this, perhaps because I was sick at that time and it's late at night, when I first look at the picture, I think the background are filtered photos.

The following morning, I take another look and find that it's actually original BG! Oh, great! It could trick my eyes. Nice sprite and nice BG too!

It's original BG, made using only Photoshop - I happen to know the BG artist, he's fellow Indonesian and one of two final alternatives we considered for Scelta (our voting result picked the other one though).

Just two screenshots to show you the project is still alive and going. Sakebento is going to write it, the first chapter is quite fun (and the art... well you know how it is!)

[Deji]

looks lovely so far!!
Steve's little portrait there looks adorable <3

*goes back to work on the sprites*

[lorddon]

Damn Deji, that's some fantastic art!

[chronoluminaire]

Deji's art is awesome as always. The text box is great, and I like having the mini-portraits off to the right rather than to the left, for some reason. Very expressive faces on both characters

[jack_norton]

More screens. Note the face of Steve once he realizes the real reason why his father brought him to Uncle Sam farm
