Those Without Names [Slice of Life,Siblings][NaNo2015] Done!

[yuucie]

It's a good idea which I was thinking of, but unfortunately, I don't have the option to shrink him (he'll end up not using much of the game space and there's no other sprite than his, LOL). I settled for the next best thing, which was to stretch the BG.



I think his height looks more normal now, much thanks to your help!

and thank you for the link! I will bookmark it for further study. I really like that it's specifically for VN making too. I hadn't thought to use my sprites to measure while making the backgrounds. //sweats// Thanks! ;~; Tbh, I shy away from backgrounds as much as I possibly can get away with, so I really appreciate the crit and the encouragement.


>>>progress:

- fixed a few game bugs.

- Entering script and editing it along the way. Oh goodness, the typos and grammar errors.

Probably will be more quiet in regards to progress reports, seeing as I'm just getting script coded in now.

Ahmygoodness, I'm beginning to think that one of the biggest bonuses to your average artist when they start tinkering with visual novels' is embracing backgrounds! Considering you never/rarely/whatever drew them before they came out absolutely lovely, and the night scenes in particular are just hauntingly pretty, the entire atmosphere is!
I love the sweet sibling relationship and you've really done a remarkable job!

@underbliss: Oh goodness. ;_____; you have no idea how much your comment brightened my day. You hit it spot on with the atmosphere, and it really boosted my morale. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a nice message!


>>> Progress:

- lowered name bar a bit. Makes it easier to know who's talking.

- FINISHED INPUTTING THE SCRIPT. I'm estimating about an hour game-play.

"The game contains 1,317 dialogue blocks, containing 16,345 words and 88,526
characters, for an average of 12.4 words and 67 characters per block.

The game contains 7 menus, 84 images, and 14 screens."


- Sending off to friends to gauge difficulty of attaining ends for me.

- learned how to tint sprites via code so I don't have to do it on photoshop (and save on file space).




I have today + 3 days to finish up the GUI and add some extras, and I'll be good to go!

Go go go!!

Go go go!!

/speeds!!

>>> Progress:

Did a ton of GUI today. The Save/load and options menu were a particular challenge as it was my first time ever customizing such screens.

- Yes/No prompt
- Save/Load
- Options





Studying up on customizing scrollbars (I really wish I could find a tutorial, but I can't...) and working on Extras.

Edit: customized the scrollbar after agonizing trial and error. GUI is 100% done! Extras left now!
