The throughline for Oak, Lawliet, and Ruby's side of the Elven Revenue Service story is finally coming together. It
turns out these three had more in common than even I knew! #amareteabreak #visualnovel #datingsim
Haven't had much time lately, but I have added a few thousand words to the game's script this week (mostly Lawliet focused). Scriptwriting has shifted around to the most important thing again, so there's not too terribly much to share on social media. #vndev #visualnovel #gamedev
Deciding on the resolution for a pixel art game was tricky, so the earliest assets went through many variations. This is a higher res, larger palette version of the bar, for ex. It was laborious, so I try to use it for promos. #amareteabreak #vndev #visualnovel #Pixelart
For today's #amareteabreak: Vivi's Artbreeder concept. There's a lot of flaws and spots without data on hers, but again, they're just to visualize the character and use as a placeholder. This shaped the final sprite's clothes, too! #visualnovel #indiegames #VNDev
So I've noticed that one of the most reaction-inducing sprites in Elven Revenue Service is Sonya's "tired" sprite. She does just look absolutely exhausted, doesn't she? Going a bit over the top on the emotion sometimes helps get it across. #visualnovel #indiedevhour #indiegames
Elven Revenue Service has what we call a "kitchen sink" world. Just about every sentient #fantasy species you can think of exists out there somewhere, although most are pretty rare to see. It can make the politics of interacting... complex. #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev
Today's #AmareTeaBreak:
Halflings are relatively few in number in Elven Revenue Service, and they tend to stay in their own communities. The reason? Human/Elven towns just aren't built for them. Too tall! #indiedev #amaregame #fantasy #fantasyworld #worldbuilding #visualnovel
The #AmareTeaBreak this week is dedicated to Ruby, a bright spot in Elven Revenue Service and probably the most well adjusted character. Ruby's a thinker--she's always evaluating how life could be improved, even in the silliest of ways. #indiedev #Visualnovel #fantasy #VNdev
Lilith is in the spotlight this week. Her secret hobby is music: her office has a smooth jazz song that magically emanates from the walls of the building itself. Being so enveloped by a song is almost dreamy. #indiedevhour #datingsim #visualnovel #fantasy #vndev #amaregame
I received the first CG from our #visualnovel Elven Revenue Service this week, depicting the half-#elf Vivi's arrival, but you'll have to wait a little longer to see that. Maybe in... next week's trailer? whaaa? #vndev #indiedev #indiedevhour
