can't wait for the Nora update. you're probably going to have to add the cheating tag. you know, cause of Pyrrha and Jaune. and Nora and Ren
- Thread starter H.H.T
- Start date
1 - slapping koikatsu screenshots onto a vn framework isn't "game dev". None of that trash even deserves to be considered in the indie game sphere. That requires actually making a game, instead of a very shitty digital comic book.
2 - I'm not moralizing about ripping off characters from the original show, I'm saying that firstly they are using models somebody else made, and secondly completely unoriginal to the point I wouldn't even call it parody. There's NO artistic effort put into the setting or characters and they didn't even put effort into the models. There's no problem with using stuff other people made, but e-begging and pretending they deserve MONEY for their zero effort is a joke - that's where it becomes grifting.
3 - If as you and I both acknowledge they have ZERO artistic talent in the visual sphere, they could find an actual artist. If they actually had writing talent they could just write fanfiction, but all of these slop VNs that disgrace even visual novels as a medium have zero writing talent as well. Your suggestions are just the "don't put any effort into improving or actually making anything" options, which are all grifter slop. People with any actual drive could either write or learn to draw or model.
Yeah, koikatsu has tons and tons of animation files you can get ready made and just plug other people's models, mods, and motions into to get massively more content than this would ever have. You're bullshitting if you say otherwise. It's not that difficult, certainly not on the level of actually animating anything from scratch. These grifter trash don't make a single thing - not even with easy create-a-character. They use a bunch of assets they put no effort into, to slap together something quick and easy, and then think they deserve money for it. Nobody should ever pay them.

Yeah, you clearly have no experience in development at all.
Even assuming Koikatsu screencaps are as easy to do as you think - which, depending on the required poses isn't even true; for example the pic of Ruby sitting in the chair in the previews probably took just under an hour and that's a painfully simple pose - there's a lot more that goes into making a VN than slapping a bunch of pics into a sequence.
Except it's not zero effort, it's just using a free model. The effort goes elsewhere; in posing. In animating. In writing. In plotting. In figuring mechanics, for some VNs.
I'm not sure they could find an actual artist. Actual artists are expensive, on account of having an actual skill that took years of training. This contrasts someone like you, who's skills seem to be limited to braindead critiques of genres you clearly haven't even played. Do you work for IGN?
Making the pics in Koikatsu is relatively cheap compared to any commission artist, especially considering the sheer volume of renders needed for even a skeletal release like this one. Games use a LOT of visual media, and you can easily reach 100 renders before even finishing the prologue.
I'm again reminded of someone who's never done any of the things he's talking about. Implying they could just go write fanfiction is just so oblique and weird. It's like looking at someone's first quilting project, declaring it shit, and then telling them if they wanted to handle needles they could go do heroin.
None of this is true, by the way. Koikatsu natively comes with 20 sexual positions and about 100 other animations, only some of which are accessible in the poser. A VN is going to chew through 120 different animations lightning-quick, that's almost nothing. Indeed, even other Illusion games usually come with more animations. Your normal completed VN has renders measured in the 1000's.
You need to calm down and step down. You're just lying through your teeth at this point.
You can download animations in the same way you would character cards. Plenty of authors have shared their animation files, which is why you can see repeated animations that aren't the default ones in other works using koikatsu. You are the one who doesn't know how to use the thing you're talking about. These VN asset flip grifters are not individually animating their games.
You also whine that paying an artist is expensive, because artists have skills that took time to develop. Yes. That is what people pay for. Skill. This asset flip trash is not using any. Neither writing nor artistic skill is displayed, only the ability to staple assets taken from elsewhere into an incredibly mediocre collage. That is not art, nor is it value.

Not sure what happened but I think there's a bug where you unintendedly gave the cookie too early or something and it doesn't allow you to progress beyond seeing Ruby's panties???
Seems like I even maxed out the supposed stats for for both??
Did I screwed up somewhere and have to restart??
Like another person mentioned...
There should really be a progress bar. Or at least have it as an option on the "phone".

Just dropping in to say "I hope this project goes well, best if luck, and keep at it!"
Seriously; if you have a vision of what you want to create, care about the outcome, and work at it consistently, that's awesome.
Always cool to see another RWBY project on F95
