Ren'Py What a Legend! [v0.7.05] [MagicNuts]

[DemiMaximoff]

Except that more shading and blending doesn't necessarily make it higher quality. This is drawing, not photography.

The most important thing is to convey information well, to express. And, ironically, less of that is being done, since less pieces are being made. Think about how much is expressed in animations (Castlevania's, for a good example)--expression is objectively more important than more detail.
And honestly, this shading and blending reminds me of SakimiChan's--"blunt"/3D-ish, which isn't good.

EDIT: I hadn't suggested a change in art style.

Give me one example of where this game has skimped out on expressiveness to make the art more detailed. You're trying to solve a problem you saw in some other artist's work, that literally doesn't exist in this game's art.

"Guys, I put up a bunch of video essays on my second monitor while playing Siege, so I'm basically an art professor. People who are actually able to draw need to learn from me"

NSFW artists in general seem to be hard to work with...

Why, what makes it hard to work with them?

 

[bogodit]

It's seems the nasi's are at it again, deleting funny posts. Sick people... Making live boring here...

Sig Heel?

 

[Dr. FuckFace]

Holy shit. Mr Galaxybrain here solved everything. People come here for the high quality art and it takes time? How about you change the artstyle mid-production to "adapt"?

Where are we now? In a Feminist toy shop called "natural haircolor is part of patriarchy"?

People how want to play What a Legend come here propably because the game looks as relaxing and fun as it is, and dev deserves critic. I would call this professional milking, thou i still like the game.

The baby scene at the beginning already could've had more expressions. Characters could have more postures. Etc.

The point of the first post was just to mention and inform of the possibility reducing time spent on artmaking by changing shading technique.

You've been wrong at least twice.


Nice projection.

No, it's not. F95 just has a dumb rule about tagging it.

I agree, it's a stupid tag, unless the dev says so, the game is not abandoned! Update will come in 2035, right buddy?

NSFW projects aren't something most actual professionals want to put in their portfolio. So you often seem to have a pretty clear cut between those who do NSFW stuff an those who don't. Thus, those who do NSFW art are often quite passionate about it and don't really want to spend prolongend times working for someone else. Especially as games require quite a broad spectrum of artworks and not just the NSFW part.

Sure, there are plenty of artist who will create a few NSFW artworks for you, but getting somebody like that to work 2 to 3 years for one project seems very, very hard. There seem to be very few games, who acually work with comissioned art because of that. Siren's Domain seems to be one of the more successful devs, but else?

Now you mention that scene, dev said this on Discord last month:

Speaking of technical updates, Chestnut and I need to have one too. We're not going to take a whole update, though. But the other day I played the game from the beginning, and the way we did 0.1 was totally different, the way I posed the scenes, and the level of detail the cutscenes had. I remember back then we thought if the cutscenes were more "rough-looking" we could produce them faster. But in the later updates, they got pretty detailed because that way they looked nicer. There aren't many cutscenes, though, and this is really low priority, but if we ever want to release it on say steam and definitely before 1.0, we'll have to fix that to be more visually and stylistically consistent.

I don't know if they do a hitler greating before they kill my message. I just get the message that oopsy they did it again...

2035? Come on let's try to be a little more realistic here. I like your optimistic views though.

We can all look forward to the year 2100 turn of the century update. I heard they plan to have finished at least 50% of the story by then.

 

[bogodit]

TLDR: June, but also probably not June.

June?
Yesn't

 

[reiner12a]

The game is going to dead end
And dev.. he working fake number for the working table
But the game has to be acknowledged, what a good game it was, if you had kept updating it from time to time then it would have been really great.

 

[huo1912]

if you could doing nothing but still milking 10000 dollars per month,you will never continue the game either.Dev won't show any respect to the cow,so wake up guys

It's so funny how people here complain about the time they take to update, not knowing anything about the discord where they post updates daily. Shut the hell up, you couldn't do it any faster...

updating an arbitrary number means fuck all and that's what those "updates" usually consist of, also the last update that actually introduced new content was released 22 months ago.
