/jp/ VN Project Thread - The Warehouse

[Shanker]

Not heard anything over the last few days. Tell me this is not dead.

[Kureha]

They are still having fun in the /jp/ threads

[Shanker]

Oh, wow. I made that thing days ago...thanks.

I don't think they're taken. If you really want to do it, do it. I don't think anyone mind extra resources. Worst case scenario is we just don't use them.

There really isn't any official set positions yet, and really, so I'd hold my horses if I were you. Project is barely conceived, and there's a good chance it might just die by next week anyways. We need some dedicated writefags to build a foundation on, then worry about art and music and other aesthetics.

[Kureha]

well... I don't know about the writing part but... here's a sample of what I can come up with.

It doesn't have to do with this project though, just a little project of mine.

Could you post an offsite link to whatever that is? I don't see anything.

It doesn't matter too much at this point. People making fanart and stuff is great for the motivation but doesn't actually produce anything we can use. The constant bumping of the thread was getting a bit annoying anyway.

Oh Kureha, you are just so moe~ at times
I'll give it a read later.

Prologue: This is why we can't have nice things.

Perfect start.

Okay, read through it. Seems pretty cool. I like the pacing at the start, and the character interactions in the later half aren't bad and seem common place for most eroge/galge, but I had a thought about the form of the script a few days ago when people were submitting their initial drafts. Basically what I noticed was that there were quite a few walls of text, while many visual novels and more so for the eroge kind deliver a stream of chunks. This need for proper segmentation of narrative became even more obvious in the quick mock up that one anon did in the Novelty engine.

The middle part of your story leans more towards larger paragraphs to give depth to the plot. Do you think, that if you were put to the task, that you could achieve the same effect but with smaller, self-contained paragraphs?  Otherwise I think your style would be quite beneficial to this project. It's very down to earth, easy to read, and still manages to convey an immersible atmosphere without being pretentious in its delivery.

[Kureha]

break it into smaller chunks? I suppose it can be done if I can get a better feel for the characters to deliver more characterization via dialog instead of having to deliver it through actions? I wrote up the script on a whim because it suddently popped into my head, I wanted it to be light hearted yet with enough seriousness. I actually have no idea of the character traits in that script yet, an idea presented itself before me and I just took it and ran with it.

Anyways, I'm not going to compete with the others that have already written scripts for "The Warehouse" but I can help when needed, you know where to find me. (lol)

The project isn't even a week old yet and we've already had about ten full threads. There isn't really a set team or anything, so anyone is contributing and the results vary in degrees of shittyness. It was just that your little prologue thing struck me as balanced, and probably something that could work nicely in a visual novel format.

Rather than assigning specific tasks the most actively supported consensus has been to use, improve, and redo each others work.

Hello there! I've been busy again due to my other 5 projects I need to work on, but I will still make art for this project whenever I can afford it. I should be less busy as we get closer to the summer.

However I don't see any urgent need for artwork at the moment. The rest of the necessary character concept art should be produced when we start making the sprites. Also, I'm not sure which of the side characters are there to stay for sure.

[Kureha]

I don't see a thread in /jp/ are people sleeping/busy or did the project just buy the farm?
