Nocturnal Affair Release

Nocturnal Affair is finally released!

Yaoi Jam+ Week 3

Only a week left to the submission date. 

Yaoi Jam+ Week 2

Here's another update on how the YaoiJam+ experience is going so far.

Yaoi Jam+ Week 1

Glad to announce that Nocturnal Affair's full script has been reprised. Yaoi Jam Plus is an additional game jam under Yaoi Jam, where developers can reprise any unfinished projects from previous jams that have been submitted.

Nocturnal Affair Demo!

Hi everyone! 

I'm proud to announce that Nocturnal Affair's demo is finally available for download!

I admit it's a shame it won't have any CGs due to lack of time, but we will eventually add it once they are finished and good to go! 

These last two months have really been busy between my part-time job and this game jam. I don't regret anything though. Taking part in this jamming, leveled up my skill as a programmer and social interactions. 

So was it really worth it? Absolutely! This accomplishment motivates me more to finish Conspiracy and bring to life my other VN ideas!

Moreover, as I mentioned before if the feedbacks for NA's full game is good, we might make some spin-off. 

In the meantime, please enjoy our demo!

Busy Jamming + Real Life

Hi! Sorry for the lack of posts here.

I've been busy both with Nocturnal Affair and real life stuff. Not to mention I started working for a whole week straight this month which is really tiring me out.

The game is coming along fine, art-wise. I managed to figure out a problem with some codes thanks to a coder's help at Lemmasoft. We will be releasing the demo for the game since we only have 4 more weeks left until the end of the jam.

In any case, I sometimes update my personal blog on tumblr so if you want, you can check me out there!

Have a nice day!

We Have a Thread!

Hi everyone! (･∀･○)

Nocturnal Affair has finally set up a work in progress thread yesterday at LemmaSoft. The character profiles we'll be replaced once the sprites' full version is done. 

In the meantime you can also follow us at our development blog on Tumblr.

Have a nice day! 

Yaoi Jam Day 2!

Hi everyone!

Thankfully I found some spare time to write a new post. I managed to create a team for Yaoi Jam and recently we finally started to discuss our characters' design. Our project is called "Nocturnal Affair", it's psychological thriller with no nsfw scenes. You'll learn more about that once we settle a work in progress thread on LSF.

This is our game logo

I'll be in charge in some parts of the UI assets and script writing along with a fellow co-writer, And-chan. On the other hand two artists joined us by the end of May, Hisame and Sho. Hisame will be in charge of the CGs and Sho of the character sprites.

We might start a game blog for Nocturnal Affair on Tumblr to report our progress for this Yaoi Jam entry project. In the meantime we have 2 months of fun awaiting us. (╯✧∇✧)╯

That's all for today's post! Have a nice weekend!

General Projects Update

Conspiracy

This otome will be put on hold for now. So far I'm reviewing the points system and copy/pasting the script while trying to organize its label.

Yaoi Jam

Starting this Friday I will commence working on the BL project's art assets. The game jam will begin on 1st June so until then, I won't be coding any of the UI nor sprites.

I have also prepared initial sketches for the characters' sprite but wanted to confront a 3rd party's opinion in terms of character design and I'll be opening the thread pretty soon on LemmaSoft so you guys should check us out! 

Short KN

A few weeks ago I mentioned I finish writing this short script for a really short KN. I received the proof-read just yesterday and it's 100% ready to be worked on. Depending on its feedback I might make a 2nd chapter for the story. I will be working on this after Yaoi Jam, alongside Conspiracy.

That's all for today's post! In addition, as of next week I'm finished with the school year! (❁´▽`❁)*✲ﾟ*

Heading for Yaoi Jam!

I'm officially going to partecipate at Yaoi Jam! 

So, I will be putting aside Conspiracy during these two months. I'm really pump up for this summer jam! We're still in the development phase though but I already made some initial sketch for their sprites. 

Basically my summer will be frenzy this year between group and personal projects. I really love to complicate my life (LOL).

Will be posting more updates soon! Hopefully. 

Sorry!

Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the lack of update! 

I'm very busy at school with my my final exams for this year and all piling up. I'm still working on Conspiracy whenever I can though. In fact I'm proud to say Riko's new base sprite version is finally reaching its finishing touches with the coloring.
I've already prepared Yuu's flat colors as well while Katsuo's on standby, ready for the lineart. I admit I kind of neglected copying the proof-read script. I'm too focused on my personal problems too.

I'll make up for the game art after school ends as I await my ill fate. There's a 50.5% chance that I may stop being a VN creator or player around next year for personal reasons. I won't be posting the details about it here though since this is now solely a game development blog. In addition, I love my privacy.

Changing topic, I might partecipate at Yaoi Jam this year! There's this dark short game which has been bugging me since last year. It could even be a 16+ game for its possible contents. No nsfw scenes although there could be some allusion to it but I won't be putting those. I'm thinking of giving more importance to the psychological aspect of the game rather than the characters' physical relationship. Plus, I'm still not good with drawing nor writing those scenes despite my deep love for BL manga, literature and games.

As for that short KN I finished writing, turns out I will be using Cloud Novel for it. It will have only one soundtrack and some CGs. No sprite though. Depending on the feedback I might make a second part or episode for it which more or less explains the story. The latter will be difficult for neither I myself understand what that story is all about. I'm so ashamed of myself.

This is the longest post I've written after a long time.

Take care everyone!

Moving On Sprite

  Yesterday I finished Keith's new sprite so now I'll be moving on the 3 adult characters for Black Lotus after that I will have officially finished all default versions for the game.
  Although the writer is on hiatus I will keep working on the sprites alongside my own game. Thanks to a webtoon I've been reading I found a way to procrastinate productively and it works! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

   Here's Conspiracy's current script status:

   Statistics:

       The game contains 2,059 dialogue blocks, containing 14,500 words and 76,412 characters, for an average of 7.0 words and 37 characters per block.

    Missing the penultimate episode on side B which will make me work on the special arcs then on the endings. Once that's out of the way, all that's left to do is for someone to proofread the script then it's all set! 

Contemplating....12

  I'm officially on summer vacation!!! 

 Which means day and night I'll be working on visual novel developments both for Black Lotus and Conspiracy added with my hopes on working on a short Kinetic Novel concentrating on the background aspects. So much work and I only have an entire summer.
  Differently from last year though, I have to be cautious about my sleeping habit and not to overdue, like staying awake until 5 in the morning. I won't be able to work much during Saturday as well since I found myself a part-time job.
  Anyway last year has really been a challenge considering personal and school matters. Luckily it ended well and for now I can breathe calmly and enjoy my summer holiday. By the next following years, I'm reluctant to admit that I might be entirely on hiatus. I'll have to study and work double due to personal reasons so finding time both for my art and game work is going to be quasi interamente impossible for me. Can't slack around anymore hahaha... ｡ﾟ(TヮT)ﾟ｡
  So before going on years of hiatus and posting once a lifetime, I would really want to finish all my game plans. Can't say the same for my unstoppable light bulbs though...
  I have to at least finish a script which I'll be glad to hand over on hard working groups on Lemma Soft and hope they'll make an awesome game out of it.
 Me and my delusions. On second thought it's not such a bad idea. We'll see, we'll see...  Buona Notte!

2015 First Post!

So here we are "New Year, New Life"! - Aww :3 -
I use to charm myself with New Year resolutions but seeing how most of them didn't come true I've minimize my list.

On the last days of December I finally watched the anime adaption of one of my favorite BL games: "Dramatical Murder". In the end I kind of felt a bit disappointed by the quality and after seeing Episode 3 I was in constant worry thinking what if the quality of the next episodes would have been the same.
 Considering Episode 3 contained one of my favorite scene in the game ( Aoba meets Noiz, Noiz meets Koujaku and Clear = Ruckus = Tae-san stops boys fighting! = All four of them get punished xD ) I couldn't help but feel displease. My guess is that they couldn't fix some design errors in time for the deadline and focused more on some other scenes which they considered important. Or

Happy Halloween!

Today is the last day of October for this year 2014! How will you be spending the night?
I'm going to watch some asian horror movies which will surely make it hard for me to sleep tonight but who cares? xD 
My best antidote is to watch a good comedy, although terrifying scenes will keep haunting me for days. Hahaha...
If I end up staying awake all night I can at least work on the art part for the project, still have a lot things to do and I'm really looking forward on playing the demo. Odd right? :)

I should get back writing Conspiracy sometimes, but without the right humor it's pretty hard to write fluffy fluffy things... ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡
I also want to work on a short visual novel with few choices and image filled story, currently the one I'd love to start is mixing up with another story I had in mind. So for now, I'm trying to give back its original concept and write the script first just to be sure it finishes.
I'm really thankful to all of you who keep up with me. :D I'll definitely finish Conspiracy!!!

Finished Halloween Promo

Finished Halloween Promo for Black Lotus just now. Can't believe I finished it one day prior to originally planned. -Does it means I'm getting faster in artworks?-
  I'm going to post it on LSF on Halloween or the night before to fit the work for the theme. Seeing the results, I'm glad my coloring has improved. I must continue working on male characters more and human poses though, because even I get the feeling most of them are unnatural...
   Ending this post with a sneak peak of what the Halloween promo looks like.

Still Working on that Halloween Promo...

I'm such a shame of an artist being so slow on working on a single decent artwork! Luckily by October 30th I could really finish it! Yey!
Still doing the lineart and making some last minute corrections. I realized the "premier" pose looked kind of unsatisfying and lacks fanservice... It's a first for me so I'm aware they kind of lack that "something" which most Boy's Love have ; decent art and damn good looking male casts! -So much for being a perfectionist freak -_-;; - 
References are really saving my life! Long live still drawn objects and online tutorials!!! \(^-^)/

Moving Unto Expressions

Yesterday I started working on the characters' expressions for the upcoming demo of Black Lotus. As always it makes me lazy, maybe because there's no excitement in it? Haha... So far everything's going well on both parties' side. Pocoscon made me read the second part of the prologue in it's awesome!
I can't wait to play it! （๑✧∀✧๑）
For the Halloween promo art, I'll start working on it from today and take a break from expression works. My goal is to finish it before October 30th! Luckily next week I have many of those free time. Here's comes my unhealthy life back. Oh, well...

Cold Autumn Greeting!

This morning, the moment I stepped out of house I was greeted by a cold autumn season. To think just some days ago on midday it still felt like summer!
Halloween is in less than a week so I should really get those sprite expressions done, not to mention I still have to work on those promo arts and omake for Black Lotus. Haha, so many things to do yet so few.
Once all sprite works are done, Pocoscon asked me if I wanted to make some omake or/and art work for the BXB project. I'm really looking forward on making them since it's also a first for me to officially release a Boy's Love omake! So nervous~~~~! ((유∀유|||))
I already have some slight ideas for the upcoming holidays though!
Seriously, this project is such a motivational after going hiatus on my own project. Speaking of project, I certainly am out of my mind considering my horrible idea! I'm planning on remaking once again Conspiracy's sprite for the 3rd time! Yep, I'm reeeally considering that possibility.
Shame on me, all talk and few deeds. ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇ‸இﾟ)ﾟ｡  Someone stop me from doing any more crazy actions!!! Hahaha xD

Saturday At Last!

Finally a bit of breathing! October is once again keeping me busy consecutively with few chance of taking a breather. Man, I keep wondering how I manage to survive my everyday. Thank you, Saturday! If I could I'd marry you and won't ever let you go! ♥～(‘▽^人)
About the Halloween promo art, I need to admit I hate working on full body shots. -yep, I'm that lazy- But what I can't believe the most is how I am really looking forward on making my first yaoi illust! -Is it right to call it that way???-  This must be the fruit of all those free times spent in reading yaoi. Can't help it though, they're so good looking and I'm aiming to have decent bishounens as well! (///Σ///)
Practice makes perfect! So does having references! Overall I think my fangirling got the best of me. Ops...?

Indecent pose...I made an indecent pose haha...（。-＿-。）
