THIS. IS. COLLEGE. Where the VN side is

I think what I like about having a blog is that I have been, for the most part, faithful in updating with an image.

So yeah. College. Busy, busy, busy. I've had four exams in the past two weeks and I am exhausted and already I have gotten an email about signing up for spring classes. Geez. Real life stuff like this means that my fun in making VNs is halted because I see it as a low priority of what I have to get done. So no real progress has been made since I finished the Briar sprite.

Unfortunately, what I'm finding out as I keep drawing is that my style has been constantly changing. Or my coloring style at any rate. But I just keep drawing because if I stop and doubt, no progress of any kind will be made.

It will be hard to get back onto the VN wagon and find time to put more love into Magic Memoir, but by god will I try.

I need a writer

It's sort of a bad time to try and work on a visual novel when college is coming up soon. Gah. That and I think I really just need a writer who is superior to me to help me on this project. I love drawing more than writing even though drafting is also extremely fun.

But yeah, some promo art for the game and I'm planning on finishing up writing the prologue at least. I did finish the first guy's sprite, but now that I'm giving it another look, I really hate it so I'm planning to redo the whole thing.

Priorities, priorities...

New Project- Magic Memoir

A project where I actually want to finish since remaking Phase Shift is proving to be dull. =A= I AM SO INDECISIVE. But I've made progress on both side sprites for the main character and the main sprite for the first guy. Yup, lots of otome games this summer season, but the real test is to see if anyone will be able to release their games. Hopefully, one of them will be me.

A bump in the road

With school work, graduation, and college coming up, it's a wonder I have time to draw at all. In fact, that's all I've been doing instead of actually writing my script for Phase Shift.

It occurred to me that although I'm decent at writing, when it comes to visual novels, I'm much more adept at drawing. So far, it's my character sprite art that has shown improvement. Next, I would need to improve on larger CGs like the one above... CGs that express action, emotion, something happening basically. I still have a co-writer at least, but otherwise, you still have difficulties in making a VN without much incentive except for the fact that it's fun. And I do have fun drawing and coloring my own characters to make my own stories.

I'll just keep chugging along in any case. I've had some thoughts about helping out with other projects, but that will be put aside for now unless something comes up. I'll have more progress on Phase Shift next month.

Also, I should make my blog prettier instead of having this stupid plain white background. Bleh.

LOOK I'M DOING STUFF

It's a wonder I can finish these with a test coming up and my presentation to do on Tuesday. CAN THIS WEEK BE OVER YET. TAT

Once in the land of VNS...

I am strangely motivated to work for some odd reason. Two poses done for Ai Thao and one more is done with coloring, just needs eyes and expressions. Maybe I'm more cut out to be an artist than a writer, but I really do love writing as well.

There are going to be at least six new scenes in the remake of Phase Shift and one scene has already finished it's writing stage. Now to insert it into the script and switch around an old scene.

Weapon of Choice

It's always the second half of the year that's the busiest at school which is why I haven't been posting any progress lately with the remake of Phase Shift. Thankfully, I do have my friend helping me rewrite again so I'm awfully glad for that. I'm being a bit too ambitious again, however, since I am actually going to add event CGs to make this a more substantial story to read through. My CG skills aren't THAT top notch yet, but hopefully I can add the event CGs I want to the game.

That is if school and entering college doesn't kill me first.
