NotEC Remake/Re-Release - and a Visual Novel Spiritual Sequel!

I know, right? Those tall sprites. <3

Though, the Romancing Saga 3 edits game - the one this gamepage is for - is now already released!! Enjoy.

And there's no shame in those hip-preferences, ahaha. That postwoman-starring game - Because We're Here - is the upcoming one, demo's out in about a month~

*short nod*

Hah, hopefully. As for NotSMW, short answer: I'm mainly doing this for reasons of nostalgia, and 2K3 is the one I actually have nostalgia FOR. There's no doubt XP is a more versatile tool, but I prefer the limitations laid down by a fairly rudimentary program that I've got a great deal of affection for! Also, I can't code for toffee, and there's a lot of deviation from the basic XP template required before it starts looking the way I want it to - whereas with 2K3, it's basically already there.

UPDATE 4: Release Forthcoming

Woah, cool. Really looking forward to seeing how this has turned out!

Announcing the Act I Remake!

I've started this game a few times over the years, but various computer crashes etc. stopped me from ever getting past the second town (I think), sigh. (as well as a long period of scared avoidance a couple of years ago after realising the similarities the first few hours of my own game at the time bore to it (as you can probably tell by the reduction in textsize, I will admit that that might not have been the most appropriate reaction XD)) Though I'm a couple of hours into my current playthrough, I'll probably scrap it here and wait until this revamp comes out, anyway. It's looking pretty good! And I swear I'll backup this time. >.>

Question, though: you say the (v. nice, by the way) custom portraits here are for picture cutscenes, but are you using the same face portraits as before throughout the rest of the game, like in the forest screenshot, or is that just a WIP? Because the shift in styles might be a little weird... though I appreciate that neither getting custom art for every single facesetted character nor removing every other character's portraits are likely to be viable/desirable options...

Also, you might not be revealing this yet but just out of interest, how much of it is going to be voice-acted? I'm intrigued to see how this'll turn out!

Yay, no more snow in NYC so I can work, woohoo.

... as it happens... I'm just putting the finishing touches on something very very similar to the whole Vitamil saga. I'm sorry! (This is only for a small game, though. On the scale you're working on, you are almost definitely seeking to give more insight than I have. My equivalent never properly epidemicises, for one). (Unfortunately, my main game seems like it might cut it a little closer, but it's never a really big issue or anything. Also the concept of 'addictive drug' isn't really that unthinkable so I'll shut up. I was trying to be all GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE more than anything)

Is regular Vitamil essentially the Potion of this game? And I assume this part isn't right at the start or anything, so the player'll be thoroughly used to the concept by the time you spring this version on them. I do like it when things are kind of flipped on their head like that. Out of interest, does that storyline have much effect on the regular version/your characters' attitudes towards it?

(And addressing the main point of this blog, I love actual naturalistic low-key characters/storylines and foolishly-deeply-developed minor characters and a lot of other people seem to too. Keep it up!)

Nearing completion...

Aw, shucks.

The Italians are out to get me!

Yeah, this is really cool!

Hm, I quite liked the look of an Italian RM2K3 game called Fifth Era... I wonder how well regarded that is.

TVTropes has ruined my life.

No. What? No, I'm an idiot. You said it was less about 'what cool tropes can I use for my game'. Don't mind me!
