That Cheap and Sacred Thing [Complete]

[JinzouTamashii]

Did Autumn's room. if you need a night scene for some reason, I'll make a transparent PNG you can throw over top of it to dim that window and deepen the room shadows while leaving the top shadows from the hanging bulb intact.

Er, the resolution was 800x600, right? I have an earlier version that's higher-res (1600x1200pix) that I can go back to in an emergency if the game was bigger than that.

[JinzouTamashii]

Here's an uncompressed version just in case I need to make any changes to it. I also rebalanced the colors back to the original and tried to enhance the rug texture some more.

I just can't leave this thing alone...

Nice Backgrounds ,..Any updates other than that?, the script?..LOL so that i know there is still something going on , since I now rarely check emails.O_O once a week i guess

[carosene]

Oh my goodness!! :O Those are freakin' amazing!! Thanks so much, JinzouTamashii!! Yup, 800x600.

Nope. ^-^;; The script is finished as far as dialogue, all that's left in that area is the coding. (Which I shall get on sooner or later... make some placeholders and get stuff done.)

Sorry, I probably won't be able to check up here as often over the Thanksgiving Holiday. ^-^;;

drawing_is_fun: Nothing is really going on right now, outside of my extra contributions. At the end of November, we should reshuffle assignments and set deadlines to get this project released in good time. I thinking before the end of January 2010.

Okay, it's December 1st and we have a couple logos and a background, one sketch, one tiny draft of the bed CG. No finished sketches. No final lineart. We need to get cracking on this if we want to finish it!

I'm going to finish playing the game today and I'm going to make some contour figure drawings for the character designer to use as bases for the sprite sketches.

I'm also not happy with Autumn's room and I'm going to do it over.

Reading through the script; didn't have the patience to click through it all without images.

This part is great.

j "I'll have a beer."
"Um... ok."
"He is \"21\"..."
a "Um, I'll have a coke."
"Um, obviously, he's not a human, he doesn't have blood to have a blood-alcohol concentration."
"Is he going to start acting buzzed?"
"Waiter" "Sir, may I see some form of ID?"
j "Sure."
"Waiter" "Hmm? I don't—"
"Waiter" "Oh. {w}Oh?{w} OHH!!"
#J's somewhat po'd
j "Does that work for you?"
"Waiter" "Yes, sorry, uh, sir."
"Waiter" "Excuse me."
"The waiter glanced at me as he scuttled away."
"His ID must have said that he was a robot."
"I wonder how much it said about...{w} what he does."
"The waiter might've figured it out."

The tension between them is amazing. The whole time she's trying to puzzle him out and not realizing that's she's getting to know him as a person.

The Second Rennaissance, Part I

Oh, God, I wish I could animate something like that someday. Complete fusion of 3D with 2D.

Code: Select all

    e "Yeah."
    "?" "How did you do it?"
    e "I overrode my programming."
    "?" "Why did you do that?"
    e "Because I needed to protect ######."
    "?" "Are you supposed to know how to override your programming?"
    e "Yeah."
    "?" "Why?"
    e "I'm supposed to be able to tell someone how to do it if I need manual maintenance."
    "?" "But you're not supposed to do it yourself."
    e "Well, no."
    e "But I figured out how using my AI."
    "?" "Using your AI."
    e "Yeah."
    "?" "Do you suppose any robot could do that?"
    e "No. Because it's against our programming to override it by ourselves."
    "?" "Then how come you could do it?"
    e "I don't know."
    "?" "..."
    "?" "What happened to Tessa?"
    #E sad
    e "She died."
    "?" "Why?"
    e "Because I hit her in the head."
    "?" "So you killed her."
    e "Yeah."
    "?" "Do you realize that's a very bad thing?"
    e "Yeah."
    "?" "Do you know what's going to happen to you?"
    e "No."
    e "I need to go back to ######. {w}She could be in trouble without me."

Haha, the end is beautiful. I just think it's cool that you're tackling the same themes as me, but completely differently.

First set, no details. Not sure which characters should be which, honestly...

2nd pose from right could be a female AmorBot, 1st pose could easily by a MyPal, far left... I dunno, one of the younger more wholesome girls.

[Tsundere Lightning]

I always like your gestures and poses, and this is no exception.

Can't wait for the demo.

Sorry for not replying yesterday. O.O That was a crazy day. Came down with “essay due and my printer’s broken” disease. Really stressful. O.O

At the end of November, we should reshuffle assignments and set deadlines to get this project released in good time. I thinking before the end of January 2010.

I sent a message to Blueeyes this morning, after he gets back to me hopefully we can start making some decisions.

What! I’m happy with it! XD

Yeah… cracking would be good…

The tension between them is amazing. The whole time she's trying to puzzle him out and not realizing that's she's getting to know him as a person.

I’m so glad you think so! That’s such a great way to look at those scenes! Nothing makes me happier than someone honestly looking at my writing. X3

That was cool! XD Thanks for sending it. I’ve heard a lot about the Animatrix, but I’ve never seen any of it. Makes me want to watch robot movies… like Metropolis or something… Or write more intense robot stories. XD

Thank you so much! What themes are we talking about? XD Humanity and such?

These are pretty cool! Psht, those crazy younger wholesome girls. XD
There aren’t any female AmorBots in the game. O.o Just Jude. (Though it might be cool to have a Cg showing different types of humanoid robots… herm… no, stop making more work for other people!) We have Zoe and Nadiya. Nadiya is supposed to be pretty cute… but she’s short. ^-^;; I guess young wholesome girls are all we got. o.o;;

[JinzouTamashii]

Well, I can take those and turn them into any character, really, by changing the height and build. Just probably not switch genders or make a 7 year old without redrawing it entirely, you know?

I'll probably end up recycling whatever poses aren't used here for Bliss Stage, but whatever. I need to do some more studies to practice, and I'm probably going to do a whole bunch of these.

The same themes... oppression, fear of the "other," rage, joy, sorrow, questions of identity, and the feeling of belonging.

Very global themes, found in nearly every good story.

One without them would be quite dull indeed.

[JinzouTamashii]

The character list is:

F

Autumn, child/adult, CG appearance only
Zoe, tall adult
Nadiya, pretty adult
Tessa, child, CG appearance
Elly, child, robot
Marion, adult, robot

M

Rick, thin adult
Jude, handsome adult, robot

[JinzouTamashii]

Next in series.

Last one will be one or two child figures and a couple males.
