Once again I would like to thank everyone who played, commented and reviews my game. I appreciate everyone of them and I’m happy a lot of people enjoyed it. I’m happy some commenters came out of the woodwork just to say a word or two. I’m glad that there were people who I didn’t expect to play the game that actually did play it. (Although I’m a bit disappointed that there were a few key people I had wished would have said something about it, but did not. ) I do have a couple final thoughts after the jump. Continue Reading »

So a while back I had a poll about selling “game related goods” for RenAi Blogger. Now I didn’t expect many people to want anything (it’s a free game after all) but a couple people voted yes so I figured eh for the couple of you willing to spend a few bucks I’ll set something up. I dug up my old cafepress account and for those who actually visit the site (not just use google reader ) you may have noticed a small “RenAi Blogger Goods” widget in the side bars. So everything was fine & dandy and last night I got an email telling me that my images were possibly “infringing copyrights.” Continue Reading »

Or at least that’s my goal. Currently in beta testing and final fixes stage. Thanks to those who are helping me in the final stages. You know who you are

I think this image speaks for itself. I’m doing serious writing for the game now. I’ve gotten this crazy burst of inspiration recently. Does anyone know of any JAPANESE sound effect or sound loop sites? Or what the Japanese word for sound effect is? サウンドエッフェクト？　音エッフェクト？　無料ＢＧＭ？ Any suggestions would be appreciated. (And please no suggestions for English SFX sites; I’ve gone through a lot of them and they are really poor for what I’m looking for and are to be used as a last resort.)

Not saying who’s who in order not to spoil game but it’s probably a dead giveaway anyway. Also the guy in this pic has no blushing scenes so I had to draw one in MSPaint to match the others And now I begin writing and event CG drawing. Probably won’t be any updates on this project for a long time because I don’t want to really spoil the game for you guys. It’s a long road ahead…

So the last couple days I’ve been hammering along at the script and working out the paths and menu choices. I even bugged Tom, the Ren’Py creator, to help me out at the beginning when I realized that there would be possibilities of going on a character’s path without being properly introduced to them. Thankfully he helped me get that working so all is well in that aspect. While I haven’t really done any new artwork, I’ve been playing around with photoshop filters to achieve a less photoey but still a nice background to use during the character dialogue. For event CGs, I was actually going to draw a background, but perhaps do it otome game style where it’s a flat color with sparkles & bubbles all around lol. As far as status goes, at this point I got the “main branches” done, and Jen and CJ’s routes also done, bad ends inclusive! The next 2 routes are going to be difficult for me but I can’t go into detail to avoid spoilers. And for the inquiring minds, yes I plan to stick Impz in there as a resident trap. (He does already have some dialogue early in the story.)

Here’s a question I bring to you. I began to write a little dialogue here & there (although it’s mostly placeholders) and I found myself going “holy shit this is SO CORNY.” Is corny ok? I mean aren’t these kinds of things supposed to be corny? I wanna bang my head against the desk when I write some of these sentences XD The other thing is, how does one express love in English? I mean in Japanese you always have your おまえのことが好きです！ but then in English do you say I love you? Or I really like you? Or I want to be with you? I mean I’m having difficulty deciding on what the heck to write. I’m gonna have JP proof read my script since he was an English major after all but for these kinds of things I wonder what’s the best way to approach it?
