CI VN project topic 2016
CI VN project topic 2016
I want something casual to work on when I get bored with working on my other project, which is a lot
so I want to make a ~retro~ style novel game / NVL visual novel that is very technical: specific limited colors, chiptune music with specific limited channels, etc.
so why not try to make another CI game I guess? and not put all our effort into it and get burnt out really quickly
the difference here is that visual novels are my thing and they're really relatively simplistic story-based games so programming and scripting shouldn't be really difficult. ...of course, I am the only one here who's that into VNs but eh...
maybe we can all throw our OCs in it and collab write, idk
brainstorming topic.

Re: another CI game project maybe
The character I usually RP as in almost anything is a pirate.
I would love for Captain Luigi to be taken down by detective Foxboy. Maybe I work for an even bigger villain.

Re: another CI game project maybe
I love how the entire reason people started to believe Fox is a detective is because he crashed the story I created, and Picka assisted greatly in and barely wrote for the remainder of it.

Someone sounds jealous and salty.
Re: another CI game project maybe
Do you have any ideas for a setting/character personalities/romance options (if any) yet? It'd definitely help for the setting to at least not be a high school, but I'd be interested in progress if you have anything going yet.

Re: another CI game project maybe
If this is a detective game about everyone's least favourite Head Mod, we need to include some Christian Weston Chandler stuff. More specifically, stuff pertaining to this incident.
EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention, but I probably wouldn't browse that wiki too much. Just saying.
EDIT 2: I just realized that the way I stated that made it seem as if I don't browse that wiki too much. I do. It's just generally a suggestion to not do that.

Puffle,
Taken nearly directly from somewhere on that same Wiki,

I have things to offer this project. Like... something... or other.
Yeah, I can't think of anything, but I'd help if I could.

Re: another CI game project maybe
I'm not really interested in romance or a branching story, something simple would be best. I mean unless you want a dating sim. I was thinking the setting would be somewhat based on CI and the characters could just be a bunch of our OCs thrown together I guess. for fun.Rajikaru wrote:Do you have any ideas for a setting/character personalities/romance options (if any) yet?

and yeah let's not do a high school.
some WIP screenshots of a template I'm making for this and plan to release on its own:
a small resolution with the anti-aliasing on the text turned off, and taking the round out of roundrect by making frames and button styles Solid("#insert color here"), as well as some slight modifications on placement (because of the small resolution). those dark grey rectangles aren't actually dark grey, they're black, the background is just grey.
-to do list:
- replace the rounded rectangles in the file picker
squeeze voice volume in the options screen
figure out why config.font_replacement_map isn't working (everything bolded is done with anti aliasing and it needs to not, so I need to specify the bold version of the font I'm using, but it doesn't want to work?)
why isn't the NVL textbox #00000055 like I told it to be.

nah, no voices. maybe little beep boops.Dr. Roivas wrote:did someone say voice
also:
I've decided on 8 colors for backgrounds, 16 colors (15 + transparent color) for character sprites, all from this palette again... or whatever palette I just have that one as my default nowTsui wrote:specific limited colors, chiptune music with specific limited channels, etc.
as for music, when it comes to FM music, how many channels and what kind of drums do you prefer? :o
(this isn't all set in stone you guys can totally suggest whatever)

Aw, I was just about to say I have a pretty good announcer/narrator voice. An okay example would be the CI movie topic. XDTsui wrote:Fox Boy wrote:I'll provide my voice if you need it.nah, no voices. maybe little beep boops.Dr. Roivas wrote:did someone say voice
Ah well.

Here's some character I made using the pallet.
Re: another CI game project maybe
I'm pretty sure an original game project doesn't want a sprite of the VIllager from the original Animal Crossing as one of the characters. Just a hunch.

ooo, this is exciting! I'm not very experienced in making games, but if any opportunities to help are open, I would like to contribute in any way possible! :3
