deviantArt Profile and e-mail Editon

Hey folks, Syon here. Just wanted to announce a few things.

First of all, we're working on the VN at the same progress we always have. The writers are getting familiar with their characters, the artists are doing art related things, and the team is getting along wonderfully. We're still having some trouble with CG art, but the good news is that this problem is the perfect segway into my first announcement!

We now have an e-mail!

Yep, you read that right! If you would like to contribute to Amare in Bellum and the Edition Development Team please contact us at: editiondevelopment@gmail.com

We now have a deviantArt account! We'll be uploading some art there so we can make people aware of the project and we also feel like it's a wonderful way to connect with great artists who might be interested in helping us out.

Our deviantArt profile can be found here: http://editiondevteam.deviantart.com/

We're basically trying to make ourselves look a bit more professional. While we are just a group of people doing this in our spare time, it's nice for things to look a bit more polished.

That's about it for now. We'll try to start updating the blog more regularly, but for now, I leave you with a picture of Julia in a T-shirt.

Direction of the VN Edition

Hello readers,

We are still working every day on the project, we have been working on discussing the direction and tone the story will take and many other lore-related stuff like common events, places, people and such. Of course this cannot be uploaded to the blog because we'd be spoiling the whole story.

"What about the artists?"
Well we got two artists in our team. Kiwi who is very active within the group, she's also writing a route though so she spends most of the time for now writing and discussing the story

WaffleBunny, our second artist, is still kinda fed up with stuff but she is still active within the team.

Sadly, they haven't given us any art that isn't concept that we'd rather keep in our storage.

We've also received some content form our musician member, Jabs. Though, he decided that the content wasn't good enough and is working on completely redoing it. Once he's done with it we'll be sure to update you.

Thank you very much for your attention.

Backgrounds and Seagull Edition

Since the moment we begun the project we contemplated using edited photographs as backgrounds a last resort in case we didn't had any access to Backgrounds artists.

As expected it was very hard finding an artist willing to do backgrounds for us. Even though we were able to receive help from several artists (Thank you very much Borongannonoypi and 3Deek!) they have their own projects and art to do and aren't able to assist us full time. Our newest backgrounds artist "Chuck" has been very busy with his personal life.

The intro is somewhere at 50%. We got the writing, the programming, some music and the sound FX. But we are still missing many backgrounds, CGs and some other music. So, in order to speed things up a little we've decided that we will go for our last resort.

Backgrounds is what we lack the most of, so we're now going for edited photographs for backgrounds. We've already taken our first steps in this. We've obtained several pictures for the beach scenes and forest. And our art department (Kiwi and WaffleBunny) is already working on editing the photographs to give them that VN style. So, we proudly present our newest content.

Beach/Departments. (Edited for VN style):

We are still working on the filters and effect and all that stuff, we are aware of the errors. WIP.

Beach / Pier. (Edited for VN style):

This photo has different filters/effects than the previous one. As I said we are still trying and testing with different techniques. WIP.

Forest Pathway (Unedited):

This image will be heavily edited once it goes into the VN.

The Seagull (Unedited) 

Total bro. Loves bread crumbs and shitting on people in the beach.

We got many other images but these ones were chosen to be shown in the blog. We will still probably use drawn backgrounds for CGs, but only time will tell.

That's everything for now, thank you very much for your attention and see you soon.

Waffle is back Edition

Waffle was absent for a while, she had some personal stuff to take care of, but she has now reported back for duty and delivered us this masterpiece. If you're under 18 please have your parents browse with you... Or not because this image is 2HOT4U, that'd be awkward anyways so just make sure to lock the door or put a shelf behind it I don't know.

DAMN!

Chuck and backgrounds Edition

We are still working hard on our VN "Amare in Bellum"

First off I've been spending uncountable hours in DeviantArt looking for a backgrounds artist. My quest finally brought results. We added ChuckSantos to our team!

Here's an example of his amazing work:

Chuck has already been added to our roster and we are working hard together to achieve this project!


We also have had several other Deviants lend us a hand like Borongannonoypi in the past.
Right now we received a backgrounds from our DeviantArt friend 3Deek. We asked if he could do a background on the café scenes. Here's his work so far.

We are loving the art so far, the artists are very talented and we are very glad to work with them. We hope we can bring you a more proper introduction of the project sometime soon.

This is it for now, thank you very much for your attention!
