/evn/ - Best EVN Ever Edition

Bingo! Ahaha it is really you! Good to see you active user.

What attracts you most to VNs? Cute girls? Romance? Romance with cute girls? Or does there need to be a hook?

Lesbians.

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

A tense situation that sounds like it will spiral out of control.

Female protagonist + yuri route.

I just look those up on ehentai.

I'm going to be the weird one and say I want to have an interesting plot.

We're not weird, it's everyone else.

It was supposed to have a sequel, both an official one and one by some crazy guy on lemma trying to steal the IP and profit from it.

>steal the IP
How?

yes

Plot (and cool art in so far as it affects what I think the plot is going to be). Cool takes preference over cute girls. There's a lot of art of cute girls already in existence.

Is any info on the sequel still around? A quick google search shows nothing.

Thanks! It's pretty uplifting that you remembered me.
I'm still working hard towards the day where I'll be qualified to post there.

Start okayed fan project that they said was okay if it was free, then pulled reasons out his ass on why he should be able to charge for it, including twisting peoples words and viewing non-IP holders statements as approval.

I don't think much info was ever released, I think it never left the conceptual stage.

It was going to be an animation. They showed a clip of it - I think on the Kickstarter page for DysSys.

Did fiend get to fug the shota?

>We've made a very nice VN
>And now for something completely different
Why would they do this?

I hope fiend turned him into a girl.

Is the thread still around?

Why would they do anything they did? Dischan was a hurricane of mad decisions and things that sounded cool and not like those other evns.

Ah, somebody was planning to revolutionize the genre. Got it.

Thanks you for the feedback. I had a thought going in that her color scheme and design would be alienating (among numerous other unrelated decisions), but felt like I needed to make what I wanted to make or I would never feel passionate enough to see it all through. I'm not sure many people will like what I am creating as a result, but I am happy to be working on it.

It's a fun read.

The coloring on the hair feels weird, and.. flat? Simple? Especially compared to the skin, and eyes, which are really nice.

...

Fire your artist.

good ole omniknight, that bastard conned everyone

How much emone did he make?

I think it's a one person game, drawing/writing/coding, so

Hire an artist.

For once, I don't feel particularly bad that there doesn't seem to be a pity route.

Yeah, I am weak with hair. The shading is undefined and I haven't been able to highlight the way I would like. Thanks for pointing it out, I will continue to work on it.

I don't think he's ever released anything. He just cons people into joining his projects and can't actually finish anything. He's even gotten some fairly famous (among the evn scene) people to join him, then his projects ended in disaster, so they might not want to join future projects as a result.

>He's even gotten some fairly famous (among the evn scene) people to join him
who?

has he actually, or has he just claimed that he has?

How many other games are being developed by one person?

Anybody here know where I can get free loli characters? All I find are old hags.

Developed developed or 'developed' developed?

I know mine is.

just steal them

Depends on whether you're friends with a loli artist or if you plan on selling your game.

I am doing that if there is no other option, but hopefully when the writing and the demo with placeholder art are done, others will see how cool is it and help me revlotuzionn the gaemre...
Or at least a good enough artist will deign to take commisions for less than the blood and soul of my firstborn.

My games.

Art isn't that expensive. Music is way worse.

I would have stole them if I can find any. As I said there's too much old hags that I can steal but no lolis.

I'm not planning to sell the game just need to pass the time.

One problem at a time, user. At least with decent art, solid writing and a demo with gameplay I can KS and maybe then I'd have a firstborn or two to offer to the music guy.

Draw them yourself and hang the pictures on your wall.

Don't pay a 'music guy,' we've been over this. Anyone worth a damn in the western scene wants 10k a song.

Just browse exhentai CG/sprite rips of loli JVNs if not commertial.

Find a company that you like and browse for sprite rips on exhentai.

No, of course not. I wouldn't commision all of my music, but I'll need at least a couple of songs specifically tailored to suit my ~vision~.

Any specific tags so that I can search for it more easily? I tried to just browse through all that shit but it's hard to find usable ones.

You shouldn't commission any music. It's a waste of money, since most people mute VNs. If it's critical to your vision, just license an existing quality track.

>most people mute VNs
Out of curiosity, is there a source for this claim?

>just license an existing quality track.
That is another option I considered, yes. It will depend on if the pieces I need, or similar, are available for licensing.

It's how dad did it, it's how america does it.

I hope you guys are kidding. Unless über shitty, the music is (if the dev is not totally incompetent) meant to complement the tone of the scene. Muting it seems like playing the game with only half of the sprites.

Unless you're licensing or paying out the ass, the music will be uber shitty.

Some people just like to read and not be disturb.

some people don't want to hear techno piano midi xylophone whatever most evn music is. i generally give the evn i play a chance but i'll mute if it's really grating like some cyanide tea games.

Some youtube musician IIRC.

Use everybody's favorite loli generator.

Solo dev here. Only thing I'm not really doing is music.

Is music really necessary? I mean, can an EVN still be considered great using royalty free music you can get anywhere?

Same.

I've been through all the free for commercial use music I could find and couldn't find even one track to use. Has to be stock, unless you have some secret stash.

Mention 3 good evn with royalty free music.

That's why I was asking.

Nothing is necesary, but if you have high expectations about your product you have to be very consistent in all its aspects. Otherwise feels like wasted potential.

I'm also a solo dev that has no money to dish out for music, art, any of that shit. I just don't want the free stock music I'll be using to detract from my story.

Or stock music, for that matter

I don't know if Monster Girl Quest music is stock, but I think I heard some of its track here and there.

Personally intend to use royalty free music of some description. I think it can really enhance the story if you get it right. I do know that dead air feels pretty weak/cheap so even if I never go full carefully selected soundtrack, I at least don't want to go dead air.

It's a jvn, but didn't Hatoful Boyfriend use all free/stock music?

I don't think it's that big of a deal. There're more options for stock music if your game isn't commercial. You might consider getting teammates if you don't have any of the major skills like art yourself. But I think music is the least important aspect, personally. People will at least try a game with bad music, but bad art can turn them away before they even read the description.

Name or link please ? Can't read title.

here you go senpai

Yep. And it worked out pretty well for them, imho.

Did he actually manage to con the artists in that thread into making stuff for him, or did he steal it?

Was this person also confirmed to be Jiro Hochikoshi? I remember seeing Doomfest saying on Twitter that JH conned a friend of his into working with him and then things went badly, which is why he posted on Twitter to warn other people.

Was Tuesday made in unity?

I think it was Construct 2.

Yeah, he is confirmed to be Jiro.

oh alright, thanks

live to die another day

Die, die already!

Pretty sure it uses both stock BGs that don't look very good and music. The consumers really don't care as much as the devs will.

Originally worked on in Construct 2, current build is in Game Maker.

I see, thanks. Where the fuck did I get the unity idea I don't know.
