[WIP] Alternate Prince

#1 Post by tooaya » Thu Dec 10, 2009 10:44 pm

Ur..really should be studying for my finals, but to take a break, I figured I'd show off the stuff that I've been working on. This project started about a year ago with a whole different engine/program, but my old computer died, and most of the stuff are wiped (shame on me for not making back ups ;_; ). Decided to switch to renpy to start things over, and hopefully I can finish this before I turn 70...*bricked*

Story:

Nao Kurokyo (can be renamed) is a second year transfer student at Honshu university. Thanks to her friend, Ayumi, she is forced into learning about the exciting social and love lives being a college student. Being an asocial and nerdy girl, Nao is not very pleased with all the "fun times" that were introduced to her, especially that animal playboy who claims to be the almighty KING! But...just when she is determined to not ever trust any men who dare to intrude her peaceful life, she finds herself falling in love with a mysterious (and equally nerdy) boy at her school! Will Ayumi's lessons be able to help her confess her feelings?

Characters:

Not all characters are shown, will update whenever I finish more character arts. >>;

There will be 2(and a half?) guys that the protagonist can go after, so the scale will be quite small.

Game genre: (as if it's not obvious already) Romance, Otome (VN for girls)

Screenshots:

A purely show off section? lolol FEAR THE MOE COLOR. orz

Character art, event CG and interface are done by me. Backgrounds are photomanipuations, and music/sound effects are from free resources as well.

Current progress: around...5%? orz

If I can find someone talented at drawing backgrounds and making original music, there is a possibility that I can turn this into commercial...my hope's not high though. lol

This already looks like a winner hope you can finish.

Just one thing though... You're not going to use Comic Sans for the dialogue text for the whole game will you? XD

Hm, well I saved up a site that has free fonts you can use:

http://www.1001freefonts.com/

This has mostly decorative fonts, one you would use for banners, but there's a few in there that can be good for a VN. Just test the ones you like to see if they're readable.

Blambot is my personal favorite for sites with free fonts. It works wonders for my comic. The best part is that you can even use them in indie commercial projects without having to pay any royalties or license fee.

I honestly don't know what font's good for a VN in English. All the ones I've played are either in Japanese or Chinese, so. XD;

If it's just a font that is easy to read, wouldn't fonts like Arial or Times new roman be okay too?

Times New Roman wouldn't look smooth in a game I'm guessing. Personally, I find Sazanami Gothic font easy to read and smooth.

EDIT: Also, I think the 36 Days Later font might look good in your game. (First font listed in the link below)

I do like that font for the dialogue. I think the names should be a little more fancy, or at least have an outline or dropshadow. >.>

But it's a really nice, easily readable font. ^-^

oh, can you change the font for character names? o-o

EDIT: on another thought, I think I'll just change the color instead. >>

Ayumi Himagawa, is it possibly a homage of 'The Glass Mask'?
When playing, I should re-name the protagonist Maya Kitajima(or similar variations), eh? XD

I don't know about the font, but you can make the name an "image" instead, and thus use whatever font you like, with all the trappings you like. It could even be a scribble if you felt like it.
