Chocolatemilkgod 16 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 June Update Where the hell did you go? Hi guys. Remember when we said we’d do fortnightly updates to keep you guys up to date with everything that we’ve been doing and to keep you engaged? ……… Well… suffice to say, they didn’t exactly pan out as planned. This is due to a variety of reasons, the most pivotal being the evil monstrosities known as university exams. Luckily, though, they are for the most part through for everyone. Huzzah! At any rate, sorry for not keeping up with you guys (blame helv... because everything is his fault ). The new and improved plan for updates will have us updating every 2-3 weeks now that we’re freer. We’ll also cycle through different members of staff so that you have a chance to meet the team (and ask questions if you want!); this also helps to spread the workload out, which is a welcomed change. Hopefully, we should be able to keep up with this schedule better. So... have you actually been doing anything? Unfortunately, due to complications with our university/work lives, progress hasn’t been as much as we would have liked. HOWEVER, that doesn’t mean we haven’t been doing anything! We’re still planning our final v3 demo release sometime in the very far future soon. As to what ‘soon’ actually entails is a little unclear right now, but we should have it done over the summer at some point. I don’t want to spoil all of the new and updated things in the demo (we might tease more in future updates), but among the changes include: • Beautiful sprites§ that won’t make your eyes bleed. • A bigger, cleaner, and all around more engaging script. • CHIBIS!!!!!!!!!!!!11 • Original music!‡ • And more! §Thank you so much to DarkSin for his hard work ‡Only a few tracks as of yet, but Vokoca has done amazing work so far I hope you’re excited as I am for this release!... because it’s been a huge amount of work :S. But it’s shaping up to be pretty great, and more representative of what the final product will be than the alpha builds we showed before. What is this Corner thing? As a part of the violet hill team, I’ve grown to have many nicknames. Choco, duff and ‘That eejit who does the editing’ are amongst the most common, but I’m also known as an idea man. Sure, most of them crash and burn in hilarious fashion (guess who came up with the fortnightly update plan...), but, as in words of Monty Python, if you throw enough castles (or ideas) at something, eventually they’ll stick... or at least that’s the theory. What this lengthy self-indulgent train of thought is leading to is a new idea: each update, we’ll have a little section called the Corner where we post little snippets of what we’ve been working on. They can be part of the overarching violet hill project, or just wee things we’ve been working on at school or on the side (most of them should be stuff from or about violet hill, though). Hopefully this generates some more discussion amongst you guys, because we live on your support! (I wonder how long until this idea spirals away into nothingness...) Today, we have a little collage DarkSin has put together for you lot. http://i.imgur.com/oFDOAgM.png Also, I’ve gone to the liberty of posting the unobscured original sketch of Rin on the right (one of the characters in Violet Hill!) for your viewing pleasure. Because Sin’s art = http://i.imgur.com/AKTcUeC.png ^If you liked that art, you’ll definitely want to play demo v3, if you get my meaning (nudge nudge wink wink). What’ll be on the next update’s Corner? Whatever we can scrounge up Obviously something with profound impact, and definitely not something we put together at the last minute. Look forward to it! As I said previously, we live on your support guys. It’s what keeps the project strong and us wanting to work on it. So please, leave replies down below if you feel like it, and ask questions. Start discussions. Have fun! That’s the whole point. If you are really inspired by the fact that we’re giving up our time and energy to give the community a fun visual novel (that’s shaped by the responses we get from the community itself!) and want to help us out, you’re able to do so! Simply playing the demo when it comes out and telling us what you liked, didn’t like, etc. helps us IMMENSELY by gauging YOUR response. If you’re really really inspired, you may be able to join the team as an active member, and have your name in the credits of the completed game! Just leave a reply or message me (or Helvetica standard). I’ll probably include a list of positions that we’d like to fill closer to our demo release. Closing So, despite the fact that we have terrible PR and everyone was too busy to update any of our posts (good job us), the project is still very much alive and working! Leave your feedback, questions, replies blah blah etcetera etcetera down below, and I’ll see you next time. ... Oh, and also wish Vokoca luck on his final English Lit. exam. Good luck, and bye bye~~.

DarkSin 10 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hello from the Artist Hello, it’s DarkSin, the Team Violet Hill’s lead artist (though that’s not saying much considering how small our art team is ^^’). It’s seems like it’s my turn to do the update post. I haven’t really OFFICIALLY introduced myself here before (I have commented on various VNs, though ). Basically what I do is the… um the art. Most of it. The Sprites, CGs, maps, some backgrounds most probably and various other things. Yes, it’s a lot of work! D: Oh and I also like to do a little QC’ing and get involved with the idea bouncing, character designs and brainstorming Experience with the Team so far I joined the team just a few months back, and so far I’ve had a great time with them. They are very motivated, ambitious and talented. We chat about all sorts of things, not just the project. Anime, visual novel… fetishes. Yes, all sorts of things o.o It’s pretty fun actually Progress this Past Month We’ve been doing a lot this past month. The team has begun pushing harder and allotting more time to the VN for the v.3 demo release and it’s shaping up pretty nicely. Things are coming together bit by bit. The script has been polished to a glaring shine (and then some ), art assets are progressing nicely, new music compositions by Vok have been added. Helv and Choco have been hard at work with the script. Choco, the idea guy’s, suggestion for using Google docs was a big help and considerably sped up progress. The QC’ers have also been helping out. Vok made some beautiful music tracks for us and.. is off to Japan for some months xD He’ll resume work on the soundtrack when he gets back. And I myself have been pretty busy with 2 universities, but I’ve been working on the VN in almost all my free time. I’ve completed two sprite packs so far. I probably went a little overboard with them, though Two many variations. I wanted the characters to appear more alive, so to speak. Our editor Choco is even doubling as our photographer, providing us with some beautiful imagery. We want everything in Violet Hill to be original. As said before, the visual novel has taken on a professionalism and aims to reach the level of any good commercial Japanese visual novel. Extra effort is being put into maintaining a standard. What’s Coming http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee429/Sindrase/DemoComingSoonAnimation3_zps681c2087.gif Additions to the Team and Wanted Positions Please welcome the newest addition to our team, Mat!

This is a community project and we want the support the community The Corner And lastly, a quick art piece by our artist, er… me http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums/ee429/Sindrase/TheCornerAnimatedGif2_zpsb2a537a4.gif Rin looking at our logo; Red Lattice Studio.
