Out of curiosity, are you the actress behind the sprites? :D That's some solid rotoscoping. I'm a fan of the technique (when done well, anyway.)

Haha, yes I am :D I've done it before but not for a long time! I may get actors in for a future project... I really like the look of it in a VN!

I'm really looking forward to playing the game, the sprites are really cool. All the artwork looks really appealing.

Good luck with the rest of work and I hope the music comes together!!
Thank you so much! I think I'll get most of it done by 24th... I'm just not sure to what standard haha!

I particularly like the GIF where the female character plays with her hair -- the movement looks very natural. And the neutral colors look nice too!

Best of luck! :)
Thanks :) I have a few more animations to add, then it's all programming and music!

Wow, the animation is really good! :D Will be rooting out for this once it's out, really curious on how it would play in VNs.

Would you consider making a process video/blog post/etc. about your rotoscoping methods? I have no interest in actually animating, like, ever, but I'm fascinated by the results. :D

Sure, this sounds like fun :) Though it will have to wait 'til Nano is finished and I'm back from my holiday! xD
Here's an update!

New sprites:

Programming: 50%
Concept: 95%
Script: 80%
Animated Sprites: 80%
Background Art: 100%
GUI: 50%
Music: 0%

Wahh, what's happening to music?! Well, we don't plan on more than 1-2 tracks and we'll probably do this by this weekend. Some sound effects are already in.

I've been focussing on GUI and programming the last few days, though I keep getting stuck as point and click stuff is quite new to me! I'm over the hurdle now though (I think), so it's just a case of getting all the items in.

The script is more or less finished, there are just a few gaps and things that should be fleshed out. As for sprites, I've done 3 new ones but still leaving the % at 80 because I hope to do a few extras! I really want the expressions to match the moment, even if it means not sleeping next week xD

I like how we see her back, we get to see through the main character's point of view when they discover someone is actually next to them. It looks very nice. I like that the animations have subtle natural movements, particularly in the features and head. :)

This looks so interesting! I can't wait to play the final version! I like that the textbox is constantly animating and the stills are animating, it makes it feel very cohesive.

Those rotoscope animations look great! And I second @Miyuu's request, I would also love to see the process behind how you make those. c:
Good luck to you guys, I'm looking forward to playing this!

A quick update!

The game should be out in the next few days. I am submitting early as I am away from Thursday.

Progress:

Programming: 95%
Concept: 100%
Script: 95%
Animated Sprites: 100%
Background Art: 100%
GUI: 95%
Music: 80%

One more screen needs to be done, and then it needs some testing and a few edits made here and there. Sound effects also need to be added.

I expect we will update our submission sometime in April, potentially with more music as it's limited right now.

Anyway, I'm super excited for release and can't wait for you all to play it! :)

Thank you for your support so far!
