Also, I've been hit and run posting, which means I don't see many replies. If you want to respond to something I've said, also feel free to PM me.

Wait till you see "WHO" exactly is this Stalker Girl... :mrgreen:

Hint: It's not Lucy but she's also present in the original DSE-The Game released last December... yep she's definitely included there... you'll just have to "LOOK REALLY HARD" and you'll "SEE" her...

Anyway, I'll pretend I accidentally posted this here :mrgreen:

Lol!… Anyway as you can see in the image above I implemented a sort of blurred interactive thing for the DSE Plus – Remake I’m working on where the BG is slowly blurred while interacting with another character giving more emphasis on the character you interact since my BG’s are super detailed and super distracting. I cannot remember the Japanese VN I saw that implemented this system but it is looking very good so I copied it and put it in my project so I too can have good looking project… What do you say?… Is it a good idea?…

Major Update!

Image

So now that I have discovered a new way to produce decent BG's with minimal effort (aka... little manual editing as possible) I now realize that my art didn't keep up with my BG's as far as improvement is concerned...

Image

Here we have Glasses Girl in her original release last December and the ridiculous amounts of revisions she had till now... it is even ridiculous to think that during these times I released two other games since DSE-The Game (The Fucking Question and a private password protected game... yes they do exist and there is a very good reason why they are private OELVN releases)...

Now unlike the BG's where I can shortcut my way out of it by using sketchup... I cannot do the same for Character Sprites... actually I can shortcut but that means I now have to learn proper 3D... something I don't have time anymore... turns out, you can improve the looks of your drawing by simply drawing very VERY large... in my case... the final Glasses Girl sprite in it's original size fresh from Adobe is 9000 x 16364 at 300dpi... very unncessary large but looks good when scalled down so it is worth it.

All of this effort for a Girl that doesn't even have a name in a very short remake OELVN... oh well...

Image

Might as well play with the palette for a while and Hmm... she reminds me of... someone...

As far as I'm concerned, you're still doing impressive things ! :)

Update!... Reworking on GUI now and added the analog clock from the cookbook. GUI theme is not final and is subject to change without prior notice...

ETERNAL, if you are reading this... now is the time to pick up that brick and throw it at my window to remind me of... something... :mrgreen:

Update:
Downloading software Demo's left and right trying to find "THAT ONE SOFTWARE" that will give me the ability to "somewhat" recreate what MotionPortrait technology from Japan (Which is next to impossible to purchase) at the least effort possible (and hopefully the cheapest...)

Right now, every sign points to CrazyTalk... sure, I still have to figure out how to manually override the eye movements in the idle stance animation that comes with CrazyTalk but once I figured out how to do it... I'm so gonna give them my wallet.

Here is a video of a simple basic test using "ONLY" a single flat image...


Compared to my previous planned method... while it looked kinda good... it is very labor intensive composed of several layers manually tweaking them in Adobe Photoshop's Puppet tool...
