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
-
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
-
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 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'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.

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
-
well, at least i got to the infanticide part of the story
-
i managed to write one of the most powerful moments in the story that i wanted to get all of the story to, but...
i feel like the relationship progressed incredibly fast if the love interest is willing to throw away his life to try and save the protagonist from suicide
considering this takes place like two days after a fight, which kinda made the two of them get closer together, but for some reason, i feel like i rushed the story a bit...
i guess i shouldn't worry about it too much and just get the story done rather than get stuck up on what i think are issues and mistakes, and if people have issues with the pacing, characterization, whatever (so long as said mistakes are unintended), i can always fix it in a patch
thing is, because of this fast-development, it makes talking her out of a suicide feel weird and wooden, and continuing writing in spite of it feels wrong
-
i ended up figuring out how i'm gonna segue into the last third of the story, which requires me sabotaging the protagonist's main way of making herself some money, and although she's smart enough to have earned enough to sustain herself for a while in just a week, it locks her love interest back into fast food so his life gets drained more and more so the next big moment makes sense
that being said, not sure how a super genius in this world would find a job without prior education or job experience, even if she managed to find her ids like birth certificate from recalling really past memories, or how to earn money with just an id
aside from fast food and soul-draining jobs
-
i'm writing the next h-scene, but i feel like i accidentally made the plot rush too quickly again...
i need to somehow connect the second big moment after the first, and also manage all the shit i just threw at it
although i can rewrite it, my current direction is not really wrong, as it's revealing things i need to move forward with making readers actually care about the characters i've written and feel them, if not at least understand
-
i ended up figuring out a way to write to the next part of the story, and i managed to somehow write my pain and suffering of fast food work into something that's thematically related to my story
this will either be one of the decisions i make that turn this visual novel into a shit sludge that no one'll buy or relatable as fuck
-
i figured out a cool symbolism and theme idea involving the boogeyman because of the random shitflinging caused by a couple of shit-eating brats
however, that'll either greatly extend the scope of my story and delay it by a lot for something that's probably gonna be seen as edgy and stupid, or one of the best ideas i've ever had by adding it
or i could choose not to and try to go my original route, which is slowly reaching the finale
-
i ended up writing another character moment that really gonna make the love interest look retarded as fuck
but suddenly a voice came into my head that basically somehow resolves this in a cinch
i wonder if i should put god or jesus as a co-author or some shit, because that's a fucking comeback against my own ideals that i wouldn't ever thought of in years
-
i've been watching a lot of writing videos, but they don't really help me with this current story and its progress more than they all do make me feel anxious that my story's gonna be shit
i know this is technically supposed to be my very first ever finished story, so i shouldn't be too harsh on myself, but still...
-
@luithe it was runny with chunks
-
did i undercook the eggs??????????
i need to SHIT
-
i'm gonna order a grocery delivery with some chinkin niggers
-
they gave up money to run the anime without ads, but they couldn't keep the sexy loli designs in?
-
sex
-
another artist glazed their work
it's weird and disorienting to see random vague text on the picture, literally kills the drawing's quality by way more than people think it does
i suppose most people wouldn't notice or don't care, but that's gotta be the most annoying thing i've seen
especially when i know jp artists especially like to suddenly vanish without a trace and all their works with them

I do whatever I want.
