/evn/ - English Visual Novels

dead at 575, shame edition.

Do you have a question about a Japanese visual novel or a translation of it?
/vn/ is ready to answer it. We are not them.

What are your progress goals for this weekend?

What do you plan on doing to ensure you meet them?

Finish editing this scene

Finish editing this scene

>write

>uninstall Veeky Forums app

I hope I do it.

Should I bump today?

Maybe not.

Why not user? Were you touched when you were a kid?

It's dead right now. The lesbos aren't here as well, yet.

To become my own artist

Draw 5 hours a day for the next year

>have cute OCs
>no story for them that isn't a paint by numbers trope

sad

Hey you guys know Renpy right?

I tried to modify Just Deserts but I keep ending up with this thing. Any idea what is causing it?

>What are your progress goals for this weekend?
I wrote a script for the engine I'm making, using some features that it doesn't have yet. I won't get all of those implemented in just a couple days, but I'll work on some of them.

Hey, those gals are cute. I have to play this game now.

What version is this senpai? It looks like a totally new developer tool.

Get one commission a day.

I need to live. ;_;

>lower-right abdominal pain
>too sudden onset for appendicitis
>didn't migrate from the bellybutton

I was worried I would have to stop writing and go die but it seems to be okay

nailed it

Portfolio please.

How do you shill yourself?

I try to lurk here to see if there are devs looking for an artist. So far not much luck. Too rekt to function in social media so I'm trying to help out over here.

>tfw no proper portfolio because most of my works are not supposed to be released publicly.

I'm currently finishing this one person's work if they allow me to post it here I'll show it.

What are your prices?

>1 per day

I just sent my client a background + night variation.
Finished sketch for 2 different draft.
Currently doing line art for a CG project, suppose to finish 5 of these linearts today and if one of the draft I just sent earlier got replied I will get back to it.

Shamelessly.

How do you get into background art? I want to get into it, but I'm not really sure what people look for.

>not writing until death anyways
Come on, it's like you don't want to make it

>Work
I mean character. My brain is melting with all the saliva and boobs I'm highlighting atm.

80-100 per cg. Depends on how complicated it is.
120 for nsfw anything (except furry not that I hate it but I just can't into it)

Price set of 400 for a a character's sprite, including character pose changes and expressions.

I envy your prolific routine user. Good for you.

I have no idea. I just downloaded it from IGG-Games.

>Price set of 400 for a a character's sprite, including character pose changes and expressions

That seems like kind of a lot honestly, but you may be doing more poses than I'm imagining

I really depends on how many poses a person want on that character. Also depends on what kind of poses.

I'm pretty flexible.

You sound like a pretty good artist.

You decide on that user. I just gotta finish this one first and maybe ask permission on the owner if I can use it as a sample.

It's interesting you can get work without a proper portfolio. You doing it for a pal's pal or something?

>400
I have never seen anyone in the evn scene charge that for a sprite, so I really want to see this art now.

I don't recall someone charging 400 right off the bat by the time I was doing the sprite prices study, but then again, it might be a custom package for that particular commissioner lol.

No. I just drew what they wanted on the spot to see if they liked what they saw. They liked it. So I decided to finish it for them. They already agreed on the price so I'm trying my best to make it worth their money. Honestly they were easy to talk to, they know what they want and I like that in a client.

10/10 will draw for them again.

I'll try to ask permission later user. If they won't let me I'll put up samples of my own. Which, btw, really should have been done first. I'm pretty stupid like that.

I've paid that rate before, although in my case it was mostly my naivety and not the quality I was paying for.

Decided to check lemasoft for sprite prices.
It's not that uncommon apparently.

That's what you get for not finishing your milf vn

>implying it's not another yuri vn

milf yuri vn

>not saints vn

that clearly says 6 sprites with 5 expressions each. $400 for a single sprite is crazy unless there's a lot of outfits and poses.

CANNOT CONFIRM 400 USD PER SPRITE.
I have failed, /evn/. Tell me to go back coding shitty RPG frameworks.

>including character pose changes and expressions.

>ren'py "coder"
>shitting on artists
Never change.

I worded that wrong. I meant that I will do different poses for one character, meaning it's variations, not corrections. It's not just one sprite. Fuck it. My brain's too fried atm sorry for that.

Please. I am a writer, programmer and an artist. I can shit on whoever I want.

Not per sprite. It's a misunderstanding because of poster's shit engrish.

Would scripter be a more appropriate term for someone who's trying to control what Ren'Py is gonna do on runtime?

What kind of tablet and program do you use I wonder

>not a composer too
pleb

Post your story, your game, and your art then, fag.

Yeah, never tried music and shit. It looks like way more work than the other three though so it's fine, I guess.

copy-pastier would be the correct term.

Tracer-senpai is that you?

Cheers luv

Draw me some slavic waifu squatting.

...

i can draw gaping asshole with anime eyes?

Up to you senpai.

So, what's the future for /evn/?

create games that at least allow me to pay my mortgage until i die

...

i came

Prognosis based on recent trends indicates our future is to become a lesbian hook up service.

post more elves

>tfw no lesbo dev to lesbo dev with

Will you be satisfied with my boipussy instead ?

but you poop from there!

Oh please user. I was practically begging in the last thread. No one wants a puffy haired weirdo lesbo like me. ; _;

post your hair

Oh no, what have I done...

Are your eyebrows thick too

>summoning the thirsty dykes
I hope you get sodomized by a pig

what's puffy hair? black afro?

I'm starting to give up hope anyway. I guess all I have left are muh 2d waifus

Post some lewds with your waifus

Oh hey! I recognize that color, density and stroke!

name and shame?

But user this is the first time I used this color and setting.

are you ayano from harem protag

lonely, horny, developing visual novels

Should I become bread user?

> $333 per episode
> 50,000 ~ 70,000 word count

So about 333$/60,000 words = $0.00555 per word or $5.55 per 1k words.

Holy fucking shit.

How can I get writers for that cheap myself?

>https

Anyway, maybe they'll drop somewhere along the way.

I want a waifu who will teach me vn and programming stuffs. ;_;

No. Unfortunately.

We only have lesbos here and copy-pasters.

why are you looking at some old ass thread like that?

This made me smile. You will find your dev waifu one day, user.

>who will teach me vn and programming
I'm still offering my professional ren'py boipussy

That is my only wish. Well, that and make yuri games with her. That would be fun.

I'm sorry user.
>Inb4ciscum

Goddammit people, go be thirsty somewhere else

But where else can one go to find lonely evn devs?

>>>twitter

Why would you want an evn dev from a place where everyone regularly shitpost one another into the ground? You'll hook up, show them your work, and on the outside they'll say it's amazing, but on the inside they'll wonder why, out of all the devs, they had to hook up with YOU.

>tfw I'm a sincere dweeb who just want to make games with another grill.

I really don't come here to shit post. I'm just here to shill and look for THE ONE.

>VN
>games
HERE WE GO

hi

>Why would you want an evn dev from a place where everyone regularly shitpost one another into the ground?
Because shitposting is fun? Especially with someone you love.

Love me

Why is writing the script so slow. Feels like I've been writing this one forever and still not even 40k words.

wait until programming, you will ask yourself: "Why is copy-pasting so slow?".
