Hey everyone, a few weeks ago I started developing my own visual novel and I'm now at the point where I'm on the home straight of the image rendering stage of development (I've done about 130 with another 30 or so to go).
As you can imagine, or perhaps even know from experience, my perception of what looks good has kind of blurred after having looked at these images for countless hours.
To put it plainly, I basically hate it all...
So firstly, I'd appreciate any feedback on the character and location shots I've attached (there's a couple rooms and characters still in progress), and what tweaks I could make to them for when I head into 0.2.
Secondly, the game will have a more serious tone as I'm going for an espionage/thriller theme. Let's just say this isn't a fuck every girl type game, so just because she has a vagina doesn't mean the main character can sleep with her. Narrative is top priority.
This should give you an idea of how dark I'm going with it:
Because of this, and maybe I'm digging myself into a "my reach exceeds my grasp" hole, I'd like to implement game mechanics that reflect this theme and genre. Some type of detective mode, or lie detecting feature during key character conversations for example? I dunno, my brains fried...
So that being said, I'm all ears to your ideas.
All the images are below.
MAIN CHARACTERS
MAIN ANTAGONIST (DUDE WITH THE OPEN SHIRT IN THE MIDDLE)
MOST OTHER CHARACTERS
"DAY" LOCATIONS (WHERE ESSENTIALLY "VOLUME 1" TAKES PLACE)
