CI VN project topic 2016

Post by Tsui »

I want something casual to work on when I get bored with working on my other project, which is a lot

so I want to make a ~retro~ style novel game / NVL visual novel that is very technical: specific limited colors, chiptune music with specific limited channels, etc.

so why not try to make another CI game I guess? and not put all our effort into it and get burnt out really quickly

the difference here is that visual novels are my thing and they're really relatively simplistic story-based games so programming and scripting shouldn't be really difficult. ...of course, I am the only one here who's that into VNs but eh...

maybe we can all throw our OCs in it and collab write, idk

brainstorming topic.

The character I usually RP as in almost anything is a pirate.

I would love for Captain Luigi to be taken down by detective Foxboy. Maybe I work for an even bigger villain.

I love how the entire reason people started to believe Fox is a detective is because he crashed the story I created, and Picka assisted greatly in and barely wrote for the remainder of it.

Do you have any ideas for a setting/character personalities/romance options (if any) yet? It'd definitely help for the setting to at least not be a high school, but I'd be interested in progress if you have anything going yet.

If this is a detective game about everyone's least favourite Head Mod, we need to include some Christian Weston Chandler stuff. More specifically, stuff pertaining to this incident.
EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention, but I probably wouldn't browse that wiki too much. Just saying.
EDIT 2: I just realized that the way I stated that made it seem as if I don't browse that wiki too much. I do. It's just generally a suggestion to not do that.

Puffle,

Taken nearly directly from somewhere on that same Wiki,

I have things to offer this project. Like... something... or other.

Yeah, I can't think of anything, but I'd help if I could.

I'm not really interested in romance or a branching story, something simple would be best. I mean unless you want a dating sim. I was thinking the setting would be somewhat based on CI and the characters could just be a bunch of our OCs thrown together I guess. for fun.
and yeah let's not do a high school.

some WIP screenshots of a template I'm making for this and plan to release on its own:
Image

Image
a small resolution with the anti-aliasing on the text turned off, and taking the round out of roundrect by making frames and button styles Solid("#insert color here"), as well as some slight modifications on placement (because of the small resolution). those dark grey rectangles aren't actually dark grey, they're black, the background is just grey.

-to do list:
  • replace the rounded rectangles in the file picker
    squeeze voice volume in the options screen
    figure out why config.font_replacement_map isn't working (everything bolded is done with anti aliasing and it needs to not, so I need to specify the bold version of the font I'm using, but it doesn't want to work?)
    why isn't the NVL textbox #00000055 like I told it to be.
and after all that, screw around with screen placement so it doesn't look like default ren'py.

nah, no voices. maybe little beep boops.

also:

I've decided on 8 colors for backgrounds, 16 colors (15 + transparent color) for character sprites, all from this palette again... or whatever palette I just have that one as my default now
as for music, when it comes to FM music, how many channels and what kind of drums do you prefer? :o
(this isn't all set in stone you guys can totally suggest whatever)

Aw, I was just about to say I have a pretty good announcer/narrator voice. An okay example would be the CI movie topic. XD

Ah well.

I'm pretty sure an original game project doesn't want a sprite of the VIllager from the original Animal Crossing as one of the characters. Just a hunch.

Plot idea:

Make Fox investigate the death of Corvo on behalf of Retro.
