AND a very good starting concept to boot.Is that...
A cute game with femboys in a unique artstyle that didn't get abandoned after 1 or two updates of just enough content to get my hopes up?

Not a huge fan of the art-style change, but the writing is really good. Good work.
Hey, so to make a long story short(ish): I hired on Hotsumi to do the art for the game. We agreed upon him doing the initial sprite and the 3 lewd scenes in the cafe. He got me the sprite and then after 2 months told me he was going to stop taking commissions and focus on his own project, but he would do the art he promised for me. He then only did 2 of the 3 remaining pieces, and in that time I decided to get a new artist and push forward, going back to redo stuff when I could.Hey Rad.. Whats with the change in artstyle? Not that the new is bad, but the old one was better :/
Ooef... I am sorry to hear that man. What a storm to sailHey, so to make a long story short(ish): I hired on Hotsumi to do the art for the game.

He then only did 2 of the 3 remaining pieces, and in that time I decided to get a new artist and push forward, going back to redo stuff when I could.
I then got another artist who wished to be anonymous to do the sprites in act 2 (the restaurant). They were able to do something closer to Kokman's style, but with the cleaner feel of Hotsumi. I was hoping they'd be able to stay on, but they had other commitments.
And, actually, I hired another artist to do the sprites, but it isn't going to work out so I'm paying them and not using that art.
So while I know Hotsumi's art is awesome (it's why I reached out to him from the get-go). Kokman is a fantastic artist who is fully committed to the project and does amazing work. We are hoping to get the game to the point where the art is consistent and the best it can be. This newest update I am doing is probably the last one with Hotsumi's art.
I'm sorry to those who want that art to stay, but as the game evolves, it simply can't be there.
I appreciate that <3 I am hoping to keep the tone the same and continue making it the best I canOoef... I am sorry to hear that man. What a storm to sail
But not your fault at all. You did the best you could with the cards you've been dealt. And tbh, as long as the feel of the game remains the same, the art can always be handled afterwards. I am just happy to enjoy your work my d00d <3
My plan is for it to be either an open relationship or you can focus on one boy!since the topic was brought up, how is the polyamory angle going to work? willt it be more like a harem where the player gets with multiple people or an open relationship where we need to share as well?
so just to be clear, if we want more than 1 we need to share as well? Would it be with the other boys or will there be other characters? And lastly if we need to share, will there be scenes or just text?My plan is for it to be either an open relationship or you can focus on one boy!
I may toy with idea with a femboy harem later, but right now, that's my plan.
Let me know if you want some help. I know of a technique that might help you with that.I appreciate that <3 I am hoping to keep the tone the same and continue making it the best I can
I thought I recognized that femboy assKokman
You mean this thing? (Thank you, by the way, I didn't realize I could do that xD)Let me know if you want some help. I know of a technique that might help you with that.
Also, shouldnt you have "developer" tag on your profile or something?
I kept seeing it everywhere and knew I needed it...I thought I recognized that femboy ass
Most likely other boys.so just to be clear, if we want more than 1 we need to share as well? Would it be with the other boys or will there be other characters? And lastly if we need to share, will there be scenes or just text?
I believe it's called a style guide? But I am definitely going to do that with a game idea I have in the future.yeah, fickle artists are an issue. Hope you get it sorted earlier then later. Some projects had nice art and after years and years working on it the artist and dev split.
I don't know how it is called but you need something like guidlines/templates for the art so that you are not dependant on one artist, but can have multiple people drawing in the same style. I met a guy that spent a year paying for multiple artists full time just to design everything, they are still working on it.
I have not done art in years, but when I was in to it I could copy drawing styles, a friend of mine was even better at it. Should it not be reasonable for the professional artist to copy the style?
Good luck!
Honestly, it looks great, I'm glad the project is going well for you. I wish you the best, hopefully everything goes smoothly the rest of the way.
