Hello, everyone! It's been a while since my last post! During the 19 days from July 16th to August 3rd, I dedicated myself to studying and making significant progress in art, and I achieved great success. In summary, you can expect the following in my future games:
1.Beautiful character illustrations of a female protagonist.
2.The same female character depicted in different outfits.
3.A wide range of expressions for this character.
If you have any interest in specific character designs, such as mages, heroes, or orcs, or if you are curious about certain outfits, please leave a comment below! As a token of appreciation to my dedicated fans, I will choose one character or outfit based on your feedback to incorporate into the game!
Moving forward, I will continue to strive and bring you an even better visual experience!
A character in the game, but she is not the protagonist role.
If you have any opinions or suggestions, please feel free to leave me a message anytime! I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
There is one more thing.
I'm not very familiar with the rules of CI-EN, but if my account gets banned due to AI-related reasons, I will continue posting progress updates on Twitter. Please follow my Twitter account at https://twitter.com/JiongP for further updates. Thank you!
I want to apologize to the players who have shown interest in and purchased my game. I have created a game that has turned out to be a failure. Despite the tolerance of players on Dlsite, my game has received a rating of only 4 out of 5, and there is even a possibility that it may drop below 4.
I had seen some players who frequently visit Dlsite say that games rated below 4.3 on the dlsite are not worth playing because Dlsite players are generally forgiving, and if a game receives a rating below 4.3, it indicates significant flaws.
Initially, before the game's release, I had confidence that I could sell over 1000 copies and achieve a rating above 4.3. I had research the reviews of AI games released on Dlsite.
I noticed players commenting that the AI-generated art looked like it was drawn by the same artist all the time, and although it was the same character, the AI CG made them appear different. Additionally, many of the AI-generated images had distorted fingers.
So I thought, if I create a game following a similar template as other AI games but address these flaws, could I receive high ratings?
Therefore, I adopted a unique art style and spent a considerable amount of time fixing the fingers, making the clothes and faces consistent, and trying to ensure that the characters in the images appeared as the same person.
After putting in this effort, along with my skill as a professional writer, I wrote longer and more immersive adult scenes, hoping that this would lead to higher ratings.
A few months ago, this was my mindset while working on the game:
Beautiful illustrations > Engaging adult scenes > Interesting combat system > story
I allocated my resources accordingly, with 40% of the time spent on illustrations, 30% on adult text, 20% on the combat system, and 10% on the story.
However, I received feedback stating that my game was dull.
After facing failure and reflecting on it, and after studying several well-known works, I finally realized the truth.
Good story > Engaging gameplay experience > Beautiful illustrations > Adult scenes
This seemed to be the correct answer.
In my new game, I plan to focus on the story, extending the gameplay time to over 15 hours and delivering a solid narrative. However, I am currently facing a problem. I feel that using images as the primary medium in RPG Maker doesn't provide a sense of realism or strong immersion. I believe my idea is better suited for a visual novel format, similar to "Fate/stay night." If you have any suggestions regarding game development tools or game genres that may be suitable, please leave a comment in the discussion section, and I will consider it as a reference.
Finally, I would like to conduct a small survey. Please choose one game genre you would like to play below.
