Some people will take offense at anything. Especially something that "promotes" a stereotype so you can never be too careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Blue Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I won't derail the post talking about racism or stereotypes, it's not worth it, let's keep talking about the art itself. I will say that if you can fap to it then you know the artist did a great job and it is the case here Black Sands Entertainment, bigfatround0 and Rose 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sands Entertainment Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 amesemi is the face of the franchise for now. We can't live2d everyone before the kickstarter but she will be doing commercials for our merchandise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valmore Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 That's some superior waifu material there. Nice job! She sort of reminds me of Aaliyah a bit, though a darker skin shade. The face and body build resemble her a lot in her prime. Black Sands Entertainment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanahtlig Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 You're going to animate the game? That's ambitious. How much does that add to sprite / CG costs? That's something I've always wondered. Narcosis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much does that add to sprite / CG costs? That's something I've always wondered. the cost isn't the issue. Its the skill. If you have someone that knows how to use live2d, the cost isn't that bad. about 60 to 100 extra per Sprite. Light animations are used when people don't know how to use Live2d and it tends to be just as expensive but much more lackluster. Originally we had light animations but now that we secured a live2d animator, everything will be full. something like this was how we originally did it.http://i.imgur.com/lY6zMFr.gifv sanahtlig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provide a detailed breakdown of art costs in your game (static and animated) expounding on the points you've made, and I'll link to it on /r/visualnovels. You can post it here or elsewhere, at your discretion. The theme of this post should be "developer insight into the costs of making a visual novel", though of course you can promote your game/art while you're at it.

I don't think its in my best interest to talk about the overall cost of the production prior to kickstarter. What I will say is every CG is 500 USD. Animation are 60-100 dollars extra. All game art is broke down into CG equivalency. I am one of the only people making a high budget OELVN. 9 team members. I have done a lot of negotiations to get costs down with the team, so it would be very inappropriate to expose too much. sanahtlig and solidbatman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanahtlig Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I'm a demanding person, and most people would find me exasperating to work with. But if you look at the type of articles I self-promote on Reddit (e.g., Why I endorse JAST's censorship of Shiny Days) and links I post on Reddit in general, you'll see that what I ask of you is no more than I ask of myself and others. If the information is too sensitive to disclose, that's fine. I'm simply giving you an idea of what my criteria for "novel and appealing content I'd be interested in promoting" is. I DID warn you on Twitter that working with me means bartering in souls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narcosis Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 If this will happen, your game will be the first EVN that uses Live2D to it's fullest potential - something definitely worth giving a try. Good luck. Arcadeotic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
