NaNoReNo 2019!
In a few hours, NaNoReNo2019 is going to start!!! I’m not even sure if I have enough free time to participate, but I want to! I’m already busy as it is but I wouldn’t mind working on Solm Quest VN during this month!
Last time I updated, I experienced a bug in coding and couldn’t proceed with TyranoBuilder with the Live2D models...so this time, I’ll try using VN Maker and hopefully, everything will go well! I’ll be posting updates here once I get some progress on it!
By the way, I got this site up and in this link you’ll see some of the art like character sprites and backgrounds I already finished for this project!!
VN Progress Update!
So the past weeks I’ve been busy working on the Solm Quest VN on Tyranobuilder and have had some incredible progress with it until I encountered some major problems. I think it have something to do with the Live2D models I used but I’m not too sure. I’m no programmer and I don’t know a lot about codes and how they work. And because of that, as much as I want to continue working on it, I’m sad to say that I would be giving up working on Tyranobuilder for this one. I’ll try finding other VN engines that can support Live2D models as well as I was intending to use it for my VN project. I’m not too fond on reworking on my character sprites just so it could work on Tyranobuilder and I’ve spent too much time with Live2D just to discard all of them. So until then, most of my VN progress will be halted. I’m a bit disappointed I wouldn’t be able to join the game jam this year but hopefully next time, when the bugs have been fixed!
Progress log
Learning and using live 2d was hard, but I’m glad I finally finished all the main character sprites! Yes, the sprites are created with Live2D so yay that’s an accomplishment~ So glad this VN is making progress. Also on a side note, I have also decided to create a mini web comic for this story! I’m hoping to publish it soon.
Here’s an old illustration I drew of Eliukel last year! VN progress is rather slow but moving. Finished 23 backgrounds so far and also done with coding the title screen. I finally found the right music track that fits with the story. Beta testing of the live2d on Tyrano took quite a few days but now all 5 characters are working fluidly! Still have to work on at least 2 more characters... But after that I’ll be focused on writing the script and codes!
Screenshot on my newest WIP! Trying to work on my story again after a month of break. So here's my characters, all grown up and having a stroll through town. Ailelli and Elendav managed to drag Eliukel out and come with them to who knows where. Here's a clue: it will involve a lot of walking XD Pls excuse the perspective and all D: I'm not that good at drawing backgrounds yet so I'll have to redraw/repaint a lot of parts and details. I'll just have to think of it as a good practice haha.
I have decided to use Live2D to create simple animated gestures of my characters for the visual novel. So far, I only have the sprites for Ailelli completed and the rest are still a work in progress. So here’s a simple test animation of 14 year old Elendav! Better stay on her good side if you know what’s good for you~
While I was doing some sketches, my friend introduced me to this great online app where it automatically colors your sketches. So I tried using a sketch of Ailelli for this and it turned out really great. I had to fix the colors cause it kept making her blonde but I wish I can color like this XD Here’s the link for those who want to try it!
