Again, this is more Sierra-styled than Sega CD-styled, but it gets the point across.
It doesn't help that the small-sprite BAC-PAC doesn't exactly pop from this kind of background.
Besides that, I'm making progress.
Well, this might give you an idea of the kind of scope my cutscenes will go.
I probably should hire voice actors, but I think I'd rather do what I can without money first.
Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.
Concept art time!
Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.
Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.
Cutscene work begins with drawing backgrounds.
...maybe I made Timothy's hospital bed too small.
Trust me, this is part of the process of making cinematics.
If I can't do Sega CD-style, but don't want to resort solely to visual-novel style, I'll take Sierra-Adventure-Game on CD route.
First, I hand-draw it and ink it with a felt-tip pen. Then I scan it, making an HD image. Then I save it as a 16-color BMP, then clean it up and crop it. Then I add color and transparency effects.
For games, I shrink the HD version for the game's window.
Once again, I felt like compiling a font I made into a sheet.
Why? So YOU can use it and modify it, and so you won't get sued by Monotype for using Arial in a commercial project.
As part of making this game, I have to do a lot of animation without a lot of drawing, if you can believe such a thing is possible.
For one of the opening shots, I'd like Pinafore to clean up this photo on the wall, then see her reflection.
