I don't feel like you really read it to the end....or even the half way point...

I read the whole thing, just this project has been treading water for a long time now and this seems as close to a death knell as you'll ever admit.
Not saying that in an antagonistic way, just that the likelihood of being able to hire a reliable and skilled artist is next to null and as you stated you no longer have the free time to dedicate to creating renders. I respect what you've done here and the reality of work/personal life balance and I wish you the best, but honestly I should've unfollowed this thread a looooong time ago.

Convergence is coming though it may look a bit different than expected.

Different in what sense?

Lola and Lita have both been upgraded to full lover status.

That's the best news I've heard all week.

RomanHume said:
I would not place a wager on that. Not trying to be mean, just being perfectly honest.

Well, that's not fair. I guess it depends on if I can wrangle help with the art and how fast they are about putting together. There is more than enough story to cover the next several updates. I just don't have images to accompany it.

Yeah, renders and other kinds of art are always the thing that take the longest, but just think about how big the update would be if you find an artist and they make all of the art you need for all the currently written story you still need art for.

It might be a little slower though, with all the back and forth messaging because it doesn't look like what you wanted it to look like, unless you just give them pointers on what it should contain, and be happy with what you get, as long as the quality is high enough for your tastes.

I'm moving the game to an episodic format instead of the ala-carte character system there was before. This is to help mitigate the need for alternate routes and if statements that will crop up because scenes are played 'out of order' and it allows me to build bigger plot lines that can involve multiple lovers in a go.

I tried hiring artists before but just wasn't happy with the final results. I'm offering up a 50% stake in the game's income this time in hopes of finding more qualified candidates. To keep the process flowing I'm hoping to team up with someone who has a strong idea of what the game is and who the characters are in the hopes that I can just hand them some finished script, they can do the art, send it back, and I can encode everything without ever having to give it a second look or a glance.

So the plan this time is to take on more of an artist/partner. Someone with a stake in the development who can produce quality art without direction. So there may be some change in the composition, lighting and styling. But the character design will remain the same. It's a compromise I can live with if it means we can move forward with production.

I've put a posting up here and a few other places for an Artist. Feel free to share with anyone or any communities you think might have interested and qualified candidates. Cheers.

Nice to have you back! Not sure if you've already asked him, but wouldn't Atherin make the most sense? He's active in here and already does a lot of fan art using the characters. This game is too good to disappear, so hoping your plan can work! Must get my Amanda/Cassie fix

I think that's a great idea, I never understood why we could choose our own order anyways, it makes the perceived timeline confusing, and as you said, it's more difficult to code to make sure there is continuity, I'm all for this change.

I hope you'll find someone, I'd take the position if I had any skills in that field, but sadly I don't, I've only done some VN sprite editing before, nothing else.

This was the edit

He already declined. Besides, Atherin does inappropriate things with my models in fan art. Atherin is a bad, bad person.

Originally I wanted an ala-carte type lover menu with some occasional crossover. But as I continued to write, it became increasingly difficult to mitigate the desire to have them cross over into each other's stories. Plots were becoming increasingly restrictive and the further in I got the more challenging it became because the further down the tunnel you went the less room you had to move.

I'm a troll. Not an artist.
Also I'd make Amanda a Unicorn and fully document Jane being both white trash, and some how in a time traveling accident her own mother.
And you'll never see Cassie again because she's MINE!!!! BEAT IT!!! my wifu...

I'm Loving the back and forth between Atherin and RomanHume. Yall are hilarious and honestly Roman you should take as long as needed to continue. It sucks having to wait but nothing we can really do about it unless we help but most of us aren't artists on the level needed for this story.
