Death Rule:lost code [RELEASED]

[Hijiri]

Well, there's no harm making a 'fanfic' VN. I've personally entertained with the idea once - although I quickly gave up after that particular fanfic I'm writing grew to a 70k+ words monsters.

Good luck - though I think you really could use an upgrade on the art.

It's far less fanficy now after years of adding and removing things, so I can safely say that DR is it's own game.

And don't worry, the sprites shown here are from the beginning of the year. By release, there should be revamped ones (Katon has improved immensely).

A little screenshot for you all~ Writing is coming along well, which is surprising to me.

[Hijiri]

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. For starters, have a taste of what may come soon. Second, I did a few gifts for the ladies and gentlemen out there. (NOTE: links are NSFW-ish) Lastly, here's hoping I can finish up the demo in time to ring in the new year!

[Hijiri]

Demo 2 is now out everyone. Now go get it!

[Hijiri]

Added a mirror (Thanks KomiTsuku!) and a torrent file for the demo for those who find Uploading.to's DL speed to be abysmal.

[Hijiri]

Just dropping by to say that if things go according to plan, we might see release by the end of summer/fall of this year!

[azureXtwilight]

Whelp, so excited! *secretly hopes that the game is not too big for her to DL*

The update looks great. As you know, I'm still not a huge fan of how much the sprites contrast with the darker tone of the work, IMHO, but this is really put together very well.

I can't remember what you've changed in terms of the writing, but it seems to flow a bit better (whether that's an illusion because of the cool cursor effect, I'm not really sure. XD)

[Katon]

A lot of people sure are nit-picking at my art >_>;;
I was trying to best I could back then...;_;....
But because of that, I have been working on revamp ones. Here's a preview for y'all. They're bound to change.



I should really consider asking people for criqs...

[Obscura]

I actually don't have any problems with the art itself--I just feel there is a bit of a dissonance between the art style and the nature of the story. It's just one person's opinion though, and if I'm the only one who feels that way, you're probably best ignoring me. >_<

[Katon]

No no no, I understand. >_>;;

But I don't know, I mean with games like Killer Queen, Higurashi or like Corpse Party the art is a bit dissonance as well. But that's probably just me. Hopefully the new sprites will feel less like that...

Besides I also wanted to revamp the sprites because I'm not too happy with the old ones. Tanya's broken arm bugs the hell out of me now.

Also, I didn't say it was just you, so no need to feel all backed into a corner all like.

[Hijiri]

Just FYI: I'm still looking for feedback on the demo (particularly the writing) so that any error/mistakes can be rectified and any suggestions can be put to use while there is still an opportunity to do so.

[Hijiri]

The first of the new sprites is finished:

....I think I improved, maybe? Here's the new sprite for Abe for Death Rule.



Can I be Suzuhito now?

And here's a side-by-side for comparison. orz.

[cladinpink]

Sounds interesting indeed. I was wondering, is the side story still going to be a reality?

If I may ask: which side story? (My memory is faulty, so I may have forgotten)
