Love the art and that windowskin!
Thank you so much! At the very start we were indecisive about the windowskin, happy to have chosen one that stands out and looks pretty! ^^
Thank you for the compliments on the art as well :)

Dreaming Mary
We loved this game so much! It just takes a few hours to complete but it's well made in every part of it. Did all endings in an afternoon, amazing experience :)

The Mirror Lied
Okay... We played it because someone recommended us this game.
Nothing specific to say, really. It was just pretty meh.
We expected way more.

...Guys.
You know what's funny?
Since we are two brains that share only ONE brain cell we thought you were talking about Franklin's reflection in the mirror, when you were talking about the two (2) small lines on the mirror... Those are so simple to just take out and were in the actual lineart (so the colorist has no faults) and YES, they look a bit weird. We were a bit suspicious when Frogge was talking about the "signs of age" on the mirror... But only now we understood what you were talking about.
Just felt the need to say this :,)

For the details on the mirror however it was mainly to serve to fill the composition of the image, it was not necessary to represent it as old and/or worn. Then let's see how it looks without the reflection and tell us if you like it. :)
Great! Thank you! :D

No worries, when I first read this it was fine :)
Great! Thank you! :D

Earlier, for some reason, our response was cut off, sorry about that. :(

Looks really good. Those lines in the mirror tho, are they intentional? I think it would look better without them. Good job anyway!

Thank you very much. :)
Lines in the mirror were an idea of the colorist and for us they weren't a bad idea for the mirror so we kept them, but if we get more notices about this, we will take them out of the drawing. Thank you for your feedback! :)

ARTISTS WANTED! (The Rebirth Of Franklin Albrecht)
Hello from the Ludi Tarantula team! Like we said in the title, we need multiple artists. After two years in which we tried to do both eventing and the art for the game, we recognized how much does it take to do both of them: we are always unsatisfied with our results. That's why we thought we may need someone who has more knowledge than we do.
A - Colorists (Maps + Potraits)
B - CG Artists
C - Artists for promotional art
This is one of the reasons why we chose to ask for artists.
To make an example, the shading of the objects doesn't seem really proper for a game that should be released to a public, also because they look a bit out of place if compared to the wall and the floor. So we think that a colorist can help us reach that homogeneity that we couldn't completely do alone. For the same reasons, the same person has to do the same with potraits. In this screen we can see a more "flat" style of colouring. The reasoning we did is the same: all of this isn't really homogeneous.
(In the case one person decides to be the map colorist and another person decides to be the potrait colorist, we ask that they should always confront eachother on their work.)
"Should I try to replicate this shading tecnique?"
No. This was our shading we experimented in the last few months. We will offer the material to do the experiments you want. We will explain how shortly.
"Why there is written "RPG Maker illumination", too?
Because until now we worked with pre-made tilesets (you may recognize Celianna's and PandaMaru's). In the preparation of parallaxes, we limited ourselves to uniform everything, and the RPG Maker illumination (made with the Terrax plugin) merely accompanied the illumination of the parallax.
Now that the maps will be drawn by hand, and we don't know how to shade correctly, we have problems on how to shade the parallax and it's more difficult to choose the right lights on RPG Maker.
The reason we will offer apposite RPG Maker MV project is because we want to give maximum liberty on that behalf, so that you can experiment however you want with the lights. It is not mandatory, if you don't do that we will take care of it. With a better parallax it will be easier for us.
PaoGun, the annoying snake
Well, we need a CG artist almost only for a matter of time. I, Ele, am not a professional: I take lots of time to draw things, and making concept arts for a reeally large cast that will have potraits that will constantly change positions and also CGs would be the death of me, I'll be honest (also because I can't draw backgrounds).
The concepts of the CGs will be given by me, EleRantula (or Ele), I will try to make them as understandable as possible.
I'd like to specify that our only important condition is to follow the drawing style that the potraits will have, for coherence.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: The CG assignment we give in the MEGA folder will NOT be used for the game (the cutscene won't have a CG). It will help us evaluate how your work adapts to our game.
Ele, the chaotic spider
This is the category of artist that will be more free than the others (but please, don't recruit yourself in this category just because of this!).
This one explains itself: we need an artist for art that we will use for the promotion of the game.
This artist will have the project of the (not releasable) demo with all the scenes and dialogues, that are complete.
This person can let themselves be guided by their inspiration to draw certain scenes from the game and, eventually, even some more simple character art, just to show them to the public.
For this category, you are more "loose" on style, but Ele always advises to try to follow the game's artstyle as much as possible (if you need it we can help you on that by, for example, adding the faces to your sketches).
For the coloring style, this person is completely free. The only keywords are: "catchyness", powerfulness and SPECTACLE.
Every material we mentioned is here!
MEGA FOLDER
Just download the material destined on the category you want to propose yourself for, and when you finish working on it, post the results under this topic.
Even in the future we will work with .rar (or .zip) archives where we will give you linearts and first palettes (especially for the maps: in short, for the first artist category we wrote about).
At the moment, the artist we need more is the colorist for maps and potraits, but also CG artist are well accepted. For now, the "promotional artists" are the ones we need less, because we will think about promotion in a later stage, so we will think about promotional art way later than art that will be useful for the game per se... But if someone wants to try, go on and ask: we don't bite!
We hope that this initiative will catch your interest! Thank you for reading this announcement 'til the end!
