Monthly Progress Report!

About Dark Energy: for chapter one it's totally useless, it's just a, let's say, a meter of how powerful you are, nothing more; starting from chapter two, I plan to use it as some sort of mana, and will be used to perform corrupting spell and various action; corrupting someone will mean an increased dark energy pool, which mean more evil and perverted deeds can be done! As for the tablet, as far as I know, Wacom is the best of the best under every aspect, precision reliability, ecc. If I'll EVER reach my first goal, I'll be able to upgrade to an intuos pro, a bigger, more professional tablet.

Thank you for your clear answers and your time. Without knowing the content and length of a chapter, three chapters seem short. Unless the path is 3 cities then the world of demons. Will black energy be a utility? I just thought of something. Depending on the amount harvested (side quests), the course of the final battle will change (Total Domination, Simple Victory, Status Quo, Defeat). Obviously, it's very basic. This could be used for a spin off. You find the drawing of your characters rigid drawings. Well, I envy you. You have nothing to envy to some renderings on Daz. I prefer a 2D drawing realized with passion that a soulless 3D. Side tablet, what do you think of ISKN Slate 2? Perhaps it is an interesting alternative? You have some work to do. All this is promising. Does anyone have any further questions? ;-)

Cough...cough...ok, let's try to answer at least some of them =P The Scenario: at first I had just a vague, global idea of the plot, but right now I know how the story will develop all the way to the end of chapter one, including the final scene; The Tools: right now I'm using a Wacom Intuos Draw, which is the most basic one from Wacom (Active Area: 152 x 95 mm ), and I work only in digital; Me: well, in high school I've studied as a Graphic Designer, so I already had some basic notion for painting / photos softwares, in particular, I used photoshop a lot back then, and knowing how to use it (even basic knowledge) make it a LOT easier with other software ;P, but I didn't had any pure artistic teaching (and that why my character probabbly looks a little too much "static"), so yeah, at first I watched tons and tons of youtube videos, and I still do! Future: uhm...Chapter one isn't that far from being finished...I think that, After this month's release, it will be done within the next two updates; I already know the location and general plot for chapter two, and thanks to people's tips from all around, I was albe to write down a list of advanced features to implement in it ( or at least, I hope to be able to add T.T ); I'm still not sure about what to do for the third chapter, the final battle though...I even have an idea for a "spin-off" which will take place in modern age, even if it will be a different reality. As for the videos, sorry, but no, I don't feel confortable at drawing while being watched T.T. I hope that answers satisfied you enough ;D

Holy F...What have I got myself into? o.o

Cool ! I'm going for it. I did not expect to ask so many questions. Sorry. If you wish you can answer the questions through by creating posts. The scenario : Do you have very precise ideas or a global vision of the process? Have you ever rejected scenes ? Do you plan to rewrite some scenes ? Is the end already written? The tools : Could you speak to us about the tools used? Do you make your sketches on paper before going to the tablet? What are the limitations of the graphics tablet currently used? Do you use Photoshop or Gimp? You : Are you self-taught ? Do you have a training of draughtsman ? Future: The game is far from being finished. Do you have ideas of other games? In which registers? And to finish : It would be great if you could write some posts about your work methods, videos showing you drawing, artworks. Thank you for your patience.

Sure, go for it.

Hi It is promising. It's liable to be a long wait. Could I put some questions to you on your work ? Other people are posed them perhaps too.

Good going
