Re: Ego Holic [BL 18+] [Supernatural/Dark]
Wow, people are still taking interest in this, awesome! Thanks for the feedback - I hope I am able to update more regularly from now on.
Updates will also be posted on http://ego-holic.tumblr.com/
I added a CG (warning for blood!) and an update of the map in the first post. Details regarding the story will come soon.
I'm still looking for helping hands! Mainly a co-writer, proofreaders, and a coder who can help me out with minor stuff like ATL and imagebuttons. Also I suppose I need someone who can do good PR, because I know nothing of spreading the word...

Re: Ego Holic [BL 18+] [Supernatural/Dark]
There's a huge update in the first post!
I uploaded the slightly altered character picture again, and added character profiles, hooray!
But now the big question: WHO INTERESTS YOU MOST? (doesn't have to be dateable)
Also, if anyone is interested in helping out this project, I'm looking for a coder and PR-person!
Updates can also be followed on http://ego-holic.tumblr.com/

Re: Ego Holic [BL 18+] [Supernatural/Dark]
This project is still alive!
I hope people are still interested in this, because I can proudly say that the first 10k of the script are done. Sadly, it's just around 1/6 of the whole script. Gotta work harder!

I'm most definitely still interested. I love the art style, the premise. *bookmarks your tumblr*Cube wrote:This project is still alive!

@CosmicFan: Wow, thank you! I will post more reguöar updates once I'm not swamped with work, though...
UPDATE:

Love the art on this one! I know other people are commenting on that already, but it's gotta be said. Will keep checking back in on this one.
Hey, I'm making a game about kissing cute fast food mascots! Check it out here right here.

Thanks a bunch, and I mean it. I'm still insecure about my art and this is like water in a desert ;;

Re: Ego Holic [BL 18+] [Supernatural/Dark]
This will probably be a gem **
- Do you think the story and art are appealing?
There's not much about the story to read atm, but I really like the art!
I think both the story and the art will look great ^^
- What would you like to see from this project?
I'm really curious about the music and the atmosphere you will set. I thought about some unsettling 80-synth, like in old horror movies, but with this B\N coloring and atmosphere of the previews I expect something big
- Would you be interested in playing it?
Yes, of course!
- Any suggestions?
Probably a stupid curiosity... you used the name Legato for its ancient latin meaning? I don't think it's a coincidence, since you spoke about hubris for one of the characters, but... I'm Italian and it really sounds odd as a name, because "Legato" here means also "Tied up" (and that might not be a coincidence too); but there's the name Angelo with the same meaning, that would fit better by contrast the concept of "Driven by a certain sin" you presented

Re: Ego Holic [BL 18+] [Supernatural/Dark]
Looks promising! I wish you the best of luck.
I love the contrast between the pink/cyan and the monochrome colors.
One suggestion I'd have is to maybe give the protagonist and date-able characters eye colors?
I like Legato's design the best, and I think the eye-catching pink iris is really appealing. (no pun intended)

Re: Ego Holic [BL 18+] [Supernatural/Dark]
I love it so far! I hope there's a playable demo soon.
Oh, one suggestion: tag your updates in tumblr with "eblg" so Englishblgames finds your posts and reblog them. "evn" too, but I think Englishvisualnovels and the bl blog are run by the same people anyway.
If you ever want an extra hand at writing or a second reading, pm me, I would be delighted to help with this!

Thanks a bunch for the neat feedback! There's gonna be more for the story soon. Also music!Banya wrote: - Any suggestions?

Regarding your suggestion: Tbh, I picked the name 'Legato' because of the notation in music and for the meaning of 'being tied together' with someone. Well. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. (hah) 'Angelo' was actually on my list of names as well.
I need tons of luck, thanks, I'll use it wisely! Regarding the eye colors: I'll see what I can do about that - I think there'll be a small change in style as well (so the sprites get pupils).bluepuzzlebox wrote:Looks promising! I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks for the suggestion! I wanted to put up a nice and clean promo post for a while now, but work got in the way...Ertal77 wrote:

@bluepuzzlebox: Colored eyes didn't work with the aesthetics, I will see if the charas will get proper 'pupils' when the project is in the beta phase ^^
UPDATE!
A mysterious lady in a magic circle being attacked by omnious black stuff. No mystery what's going on here.
Yeah, still no promo post yet, I am sorry, but please consider follwing this project on tumblr! http://ego-holic.tumblr.com
