I thank you (again) for creating such a wunderful piece of art.
For the last meters on your road to giving it the finishing touches wish you strength. Your vacation is more than well deserved and I will be interested in your future projects <3
Here I'll try to keep you updated where I am currently in the process of the development.
I already have done several things, like getting into Ren'Py and Koikatsu, creating my own characters and trying my first hands in creating scenes. Additionally there is also the issue about planning the whole project out, how to structure it and what I want, what I am able to and how I might be able to bring this into this game.
This attempt here is also to try grounding my motivation to take the necessary steps and keep working on it.
There is also the chaos of thoughts and how I might be able to move this story forward in different ways and possibilities. So in the first releases you might stumble across very provisional rudimentary scenes which will only be used as a "bone structure" and convey the basic/necessary informations and ideas needed for this. Or can bring the story forward, without spending so much unneeded thought and time for scenes, that can be (re)done later :)
The building of the scenes from ground up might still be the most time consuming work, after all. (with animations and screen-writing) coming after. But my bet is, that I can come up with improvements to my text/script when getting a bit of a distance while working on visuals :D
Looking for a lot of royalty/copyright free stuff also consumes time as well. That way it might be possible that you encounter different things (like music, sounds, Icons, etc.) which are already used in other games. I think it might be just more beneficial for me to not keep thinking about avoiding already done stuff to create my own style, but work with whats available and change/improve it later on with time. (This is also something I (still) need to figure and work out mentally for myself)
That's it for the time being. Hope you'll stay with me for some time <3
I needed to get a bit used to the artstyle, but it was so worth it. Really like the overall setting and story. Also the different aspects of RPG Elements are just enough for it to be right.
Loved it & it's also an inspiration for me to follow these steps!
Uuuuh. I'm really glad you got to do it ("even if mostly for yourself"), but I can understnd when it's kinda always in the back of your head and keeps nagging you. :)
I love Ripples so far and am stoked to see whats different and how it will continue! <3
Hey there, thanks for your awesome game, I really like it and the characters you brought to life!
I'd like to ask, if that's fine with you ofc, how you created the animated characters (I know koikatsu, for h-scenes etc), but when you're talking with them with their different animations, be it idleing, grinning etc. I really would like to know more about it since you've done (imho) a good job with it!
Really, Thank you very much. I appreaciate it a lot and it will come in helpful!
I can only imagine (and kind of understand) the sheer amount of work, time and dedication one has to put into a project. And even more if you're really keen about upholding a good quality standard. Regarding the Discord invite, I'll gladly come over (wonder why I didn't do so until now tbh) and when there's anything to show, maybe I'll try doing it :)
Hey Arcadean, I already told you that I really love your game, so there's that.
I just wanted to know for my own purposes (since I like writing stories and wanting to dip into renpy/animation/anime-style-games, which foundation do you use? Is it koikatsu, or sth else, because I love monster girls and your game is probably one of, if not the best one to satiate this "urge". So since I wanted to also use monstergirls, that's why I want to know. (Or is there any advise or sth that you can give me)
Sorry for asking, when you're probably pretty occupied by creating this awesome game. But thanks anyway and wish you a good day and keep up this awesome development! <3
It was a really great game to end this year. I wrote a long ass rating-post so i'll keep it short.
Thank you very much. Even though I needed a bit of time to get into the style (also of the mc, dunno why xD) I really loved this game in kind of all aspects. I'm really looking forward to playing Eternum now.
Spoiler! For the nexus key you just have to write: "Think backwards" :) apart from the other stuff, it should be stated in the questlog (Fey, Eldritch, Org), otherwise try to look through the character chards where you might find a hint.
About the UI, I guess a "quick" accessible bar for (quick) saving/loading, maybe showing/hiding the UI, skipping text stuff. Stuff which is kinda "standard" in casual Visual Novels, I'd say. Dunno if it will conflict in any way with the menu thats already in place (the one in the topright corner), or if its integrateable in this one?
At least thats some "easy to see"-stuff which comes to my mind at the moment :)
I already rated it (4/5) and gave a pretty long review, so I'll keep it short: (updated to 5/5 after clearing up most of the minor cons, also to appreciate the engagement of the dev! :))
Thanks so much for this already amazing game which covers and includes a lot of things I always want(ed) in games: lewd ero, wide array of fetishes, broad choice of waifus, engaging story, "isekai"/fantasy, monster girls, corruption/mind break/control, pregnancy/children, "kingdom building" kind of. so much loveable charakters, especially Pixie (and Kana ofc) grew on me. Also the goblin scie...witch is so hilarious :D
Keep it up, really love it a lot!
(is it possible to work on the HUD/UI a bit, like, implementing or sth?)
