Eternal Frenemies: Return to Eternity
24 days ago

Crazy how it's almost been four years since I completed the entire woulda-been-film storyboard...

And here we are now, with this same scene being playable through choices in the demo (with MUCH better art too)!

More info and links in article!


The song is "Move Mountains" featured in the anime series Carole and Tuesday!

Not gonna lie, even though this was done before a visual novel was even part of the question, my artwork and animation were pretty bad back then (partially owing to rushing myself to get it done ASAP without thinking of what would get in my way - lesson learned!). The dialogue was just as heavy as the comic too, lessons being spelled out in black-and-white took a lot of the charm out of the story - Iwas thinking I had to be as clear as possible to make sure I didn't have any plot holes.

I've since learned from those mistakes to make the game much better now.

I still don't look on the storyboard with that much shame cos of the work I put in...and if I'm being honest, I still enjoy the flow of everything, kinda reminded me of how enjoyably bad the original show's animation was (almost like some ironic tribute lol)!

And also, the invitation is still open to anyone who wants to try to put voice acting to any part of the storyboard video if not all of it! If you do, TAG ME so I can see it!

The entire storyboard (though without sound) can be viewed here:

HELLO CLASS!

Today on this lovely #ScreenshotSaturday, we're gonna go over the two different kinds of non-sprite art you will see in the game - backgrounds and CGs (which I abbreviate for "cutscene graphics")!

Read the article for the whole lesson.

So on tap for today, I want to go over a few simple choice types for the fellow devs that need a refresher as they plan future VNs.

Used correctly, they can make people invest in your VN game more.

Read article for whole breakdown.

Letter to my people here....

That includes those follow me and/or the game and/or just lurking.

Read the article for the elaboration you deserve on the status of the Return to Eternity VN that was scheduled for today.

You know there's only 1 outfit I could wear! Reppin @gamejolt in Bandit Trap!

Yep. FINALLY. Mark your calendars, fellow GJ citizens!

Let's see how presentable I can make this game build by then....

(No this is not an April Fool's joke - I'm not big enough of a creator to get a laugh out of that)

did you know I have OCs: Annie

IMPORTANT GAME #UPDATE COMIN THROUGH!

May I present the FINAL stats of the Return to Eternity VN game!! My work has paid off in that the final size still sits pretty under a gigabyte, so the game should perform fine on browsers!

More details in article!!

So at this point, I have less than 24 hours to get the game ready for release.

Those who follow me and/or this game, the following article is for you to read.

Nartonne watching some romance XD soon i'll introduce the characters to you xdd #PerfectCrootox

On tap for today, we have another in-story CG from the up-and-playable #demo (wink wink) complete with an article full of rambling on the game's development!

Said rambling is in the article, but hopefully you consider enjoying the demo anyway!
