Originally we intended this demo to be only the intro, we then decided to add a pre-act 1 as a complement. We have decided to include a new section though. In this "extra" section of the build the player will be able to know a little bit more about the girls. This section will include at least a couple of sprites from each girl (We originally had no need for any sprites) and we hope you will like them.
I can't just go WORDS WORDS on you guys. So here's some art for you.
Also don't forget to leave us your comments or send us an e-mail. We really REALLY appreciate any feedback or comments regarding AiB or just hearing anything from the tiny group that is following this project. Until next time!
The fact that you were originally planning to not use sprites when you had good character artists and difficulties finding background artists makes me feel concerned about your process. How far along is your actual VN? Do you have anything actually in-engine yet?
ReplyDeleteWe were planning on not using sprites because we wanted to dedicate our artist to other areas like continued development of concept and of how we want the girls to be. It results that we are glad with the current concept of the girls and those girls are already being developed in sprite. We got the intro somewhere around halfway done, plus the extra section of the build might be somewhere around 20% done. We have lots of stuff in-engine, I have already done several builds and we keep improving upon them. Hopefully, our first public build will be done soon.
DeleteSo initially you just intended to draw concept art of the characters up until release and then not actually use it in the VN? You're confusing me.
DeleteHah sorry for confusing you anon. Originally the first public release was intended to just be the intro, with a couple of CGs perhaps but no sprites. Sprites are required for the extra section we decided to add though so now we are working on them. Concept art is that, concept art. It's just some quick drawings our artist made so we can get a picture of how the girl will look and debate whether we like it or not before we get on doing sprites of her. We all are ok with the current concepts of the girls though, so we decided to get working on the sprites right now and, why not, use them in the first public release. Keep in mind the obvious "This demo does not resemble quality of final product".
