decided to focus a bit on my art, and here's gonna be my current list of characters
not sure about the other three, but there's gonna be more background characters and such, and i've designed enough characters to reuse in this project
as for the story, i'm just paraphrasing a few things so i can get started on making portraits and such

well, at least i got to the infanticide part of the story
-
looks like it's been two weeks since i started this thread, and i'm still not finished with the script
at least the coding wasn't too bad and i completed the prototype for 80% of the visual novel in a single day, but...
i genuinely hate how i'm probably won't complete it before the end of this month
-
i've learned about the concept of the "logline" as a short way to pitch stories to publishers and also identify story problems
so guess i'll try my hand at it here and summarize what my story is about --
a [retarded mouse girl] undergoes an experiment that increases her intelligence to a superhuman level, and loses her family physically and spiritually afterwards.
after escaping from an evil organization that experiments on people, she [wants to secure a normal life and make friends], but is [hindered by her isolated, sheltered and unexperienced and unknowledgable life before escaping, trauma from even before her memories had formed, and remnants of the organization], and if she fails to make the right decisions, her story will end poorly or bittersweetly, but if she succeeds, she'll live a happily ever after.

i think i'm gonna need someone to help me proofread this script
unfortunately i'm not the type who minces my words, experiences, or feelings, so there's some content that would offend most outside the fediverse
i feel like i'm writing where i want to go, but the story itself feels like it has no certain meaning, but like a picture, it captures something that i want to capture, and i know how to capture it, but only in what works in capturing it more than knowing what it is i must capture
i don't exactly want to spoil the story, because with a visual novel, mechanics are often NOT what gives it its selling value (as in, very dynamic player interaction in most traditional games -- decision trees can count but seems like most don't count it), and the only two values it must do VERY highly on to sell is visuals (+audio and other misc. artforms) and story
so i can't exactly spoil a core third of my story, but i need proof readers despite it

i don't know why i'm more active and productive when everyone else is asleep, in the dead of night, but i am going through it very quickly when the moon's up
i think i'm just distracted all day, and once i'm done with all my distractions, i finally can get work done
honestly that just feels sad that i said i'd get this done under a month and i'm still distracted by a fuckton of hentai and anime
ngmi, my dumbass
-
i've managed to write to near-completion the second-third of the vn
all that's left is to wrap up the story in its entirety
i guess trying to rush it all into a month gave me a lot of leniency, because now, even if i somehow get a job, i can just focus on the not-so-difficult parts of vn creation
i still need to fuck with ren'py to see what i can do to its limit
i want to replicate some of tsukihime's cut-in animations, but my current method of replicating it requires a LOT of drawing unique scenes and having a LOT of images that could easily be condensed if i need to
-
analyzing the basic animation from this, maybe 3 unique frames are needed for the body, and a few for the eyes for it to blink, the rest of the body remains still
-
animated portraits are a-go
the problem is that i can't actually seem to stop the lips from moving when the text box has finished writing it out
i could copy and paste more code but god i hope it doesn't become a clusterfuck
i can also animate hentai as well if i wanted to as well
-
my gui still needs customization, but the internals of character interaction is ready!
all i gotta do is basically copy-paste everything i copy and pasted and modified from others into the main project, then i can go ahead and start writing!
that being said, i should probably release a demo for people to play so i can get criticisms of my writing rather than going ahead
i'm not sure if i can send out demos without a steam page, and if having a private steam page affects how it's pushed to peoples' recommendations and feeds
but i'm gonna take a shower, clean up, and then decide if i wanna learn and fuck with guis, or wrap up my story script for reals so i just need to focus on writing everything in ren'py and make the decision branches after making the main story branch
though i still need to figure out how i want to design the gui and title screen and stuff to match the theme and stuff of this story i'm telling
or i decide to sleep after this, dunno
-
what the FUCK am i looking at
most of the stuff seems fairly the same, but this is...
-
i'm trying to figure out how to add/remove files as a patch in order to add sex scenes while keeping the steam version (relatively) safe
unfortunately, i don't know how to check for if a file exists, and if it does, call its functions
-
while trying to hurry up and finish up the script, i accidentally wrote a moment where the guy pays for everything after a gag
this was by pure accident, but somehow it feels based, so i'm leaving it in
-
finally got to the first h-scene to write, but i'm still not even close to the end of the story aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i don't even wanna think about writing alternate routes with how long it has already taken
maybe it's a good thing i applied for a job, because there's no way i'm getting this done by this month...
