Jaeger Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Python and the renpy libraries can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. Good luck to all of you ! Quote
Helvetica Standard Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Hello EROGEGAMES! Guess what? An old member who had been busy is now free and has returned to us! Can you guess who is it? http://i.imgur.com/MyqXwc7.png Quote
Linkman19 Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 Hello there everyone, My name is Linkman19 (call me Link) and I'm one of the Beta Testers/QCers of Violet Hill. Pretty sure that the majority of people here on the forums here know me somewhat well so won't be introducing myself, reason as to why I haven't introduced myself on this thread (least I don't remember introducing myself on it) is due to the fact that real life has kept me busy until just recently so I had a period of no contact with the Red Lattice team. However I'm now back and will be aiding in anyway I can with the Project to ensure that Violet Hill can be the best that it can possible be. Please look forward to more content in the future from us here at Red Lattice Studios Quote

Helvetica Standard Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 http://i.imgur.com/wXBodYx.png Hello ErogeGames! RLS is recruting for Violet Hill project! We are currently searching for a talented co-artist who can help Darksin out with character art. Good art skills are expected since applicants will try and match the style and quality of our head artist. We also need a SDCG artist. For those unfamiliar with the acronym, SD stands for "super deformed" which is commonly referred to as "chibi." Cuteness and neatness are an absolute plus, please send us your samples! Quote
Otaku-Sama Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 This reminds me of the time I wanted to make a VN with a friend... before vanishing from the face of earth, for some unknown reason. Anyway... the story seems interesting, and the protagonist got me with the ¨cynical comments¨... and I actually liked the art style! (that is something very rare for indie VNs) I doubt I could be of help, since I can barely draw stick figures nowadays. Jajaja. The only things I am good at is ¨writing¨, coming up with ideas (you guys have the mindstorm, I have my brainstorm ) ... and maybe, just maybe, Graphic Desing ... on my last year of it. >_> so close, yet, so far. orz If I have the time, check out the demo and post my opinion of it after I play it. Until then, I will be waiting for updates. Quote
DarkSin Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) UPDATE We've been inactive as of late due to RL stuff, but we're back now and hard at work! You can follow Alex's developer blogs about the writing of Violet Hill here, as well as updates from the team on twitter and tumblr. On the art side, I recently finished Yuki's casual outfit. Here's a preview: http://puu.sh/jsQqF/df0cca966e.jpg http://puu.sh/jsQvf/25d1506e8c.jpg Until next time! Edited August 10, 2015 by DarkSin Quote

Not much of a secret, but just a couple of sped up process videos of me drawing a character from Violet Hill: Sketching/Lining: Colouring: (Forgive the quality of the colouring one, messed up the compression orz) Cheers!

treshkill Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I have a question DarkSin. Could it be that the person you were drawing in your videos is the fifth heroine? Quote
Omega_93 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Technically the girl in the video is the sixth heroine Quote
treshkill Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Oh right, forgot the silver haired girl. Quote
Helvetica Standard Posted November 16, 2015 Author Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) -November Update- Hello guys! How are you doing? We're doing just fine..err..more or less actually. We're still alive and kicking despite appearances, however there's some good news and bad news to announce. The good news? The project is very much alive and we're doing our best to complete it ASAP. The bad news.... ...is that we were back to the drawing board with the script. That's right, for reasons yet unspecified Alex_Omega has left the team and we were left without a DEMO script and without anything to replace it. Fortunately we managed to create a solid and consistent framework which will help us in the future once we find a new writer. It's sad and yeah, it's frustrating but all we can do is chin up and keep doing our best. For now, do know that we're in search of talented writers! and we'd very much love to have you if you're interested! So don't hesistate to post below or PM anyone from the team. I'll also post the pro forma below for those interested As for our current status, we have more assets and are still actively working in what can be done for now. We can no longer give you guys an ETA for the DEMO due to these circumstances but we assure you we'll do our best to have it ready as soon as possible. Kind regards: Red Lattice Studio team.

Helvetica Standard Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 http://i.imgur.com/idh8CeH.png http://i.imgur.com/aP8rNID.png Hello everyone! Yup, we're alive. To cut a long story short, we had a share of difficulties with our script, real life and time zones. Which of course is nothing new. We have no excuse and we sincerely apologise for the delay. While we are currently doing our very best to get the demo out ASAP there's no estimated ETA yet but we'll keep you guys updated, tentative release date would be early this year. Without further ado we leave you with the first update of the year and the changelog (Indeed, we changed a boatload of things) As you have probably noticed if you checked our main page post, well....there's plenty of changes made to both plot and setting. From character names to location and framework, Violet Hill underwent a massive overhaul. The changes are as follows: --Changelog for Violet Hill v5.0-- - Names and nicknames - Character names have been updated accordingly; some have remained similar or unchanged, most have been changed entirely. - Lore - all manner of worldbuilding will be adjusted to match the new location of the story. - Location - Now in Oxfordshire England ~60-100k people in the large town/small city, mainly British in inspiration. - Backstory - Sarah and Kaylee have been changed (esp. Sarah); some changes to Andrea - Landmark names - Landmarks have been changed accordingly with the exception of the Wakamoto express which will stand true to its homage *salute*. - School system - British system; think about A-levels - School events - Mostly the same; adapted to fit with culture. - Schedules and habits - Changing them to reflect the new location. - Mindstorm- Some changes. - Route framework- Pretty much the same. - Mindstorm info - Unchanged save for mythology adjustments on the sci-fan end; sci-fi remains the same - Clothing - Unchanged, uniforms will remain the same also as well as any fanservice resulting in their use. - Flag events - In discussion. Possibly 1 or 2 flags to keep narrative consistent. - Exploration segments - Unchanged mostly - House combing - Still thinking about how we insert this. - Nighttime events - Mostly moved to later development. - Geotags - Overhauled to match the new location and lore. - Audio logs - overhauled to match changes. Need to think about distribution. - Art club - Changed in how it’s made and its cultural side, but quite similar. - Club events - Changed to reflect new school system. - Romance and lovey dovey stuff- Almost completely unchanged. May include a couple of British cultural references tho. That's all for the moment, we'll keep you guys updated. It might be abit late but: HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016! Many thanks for your support! It means the world to us!! Kind regards, Red Lattice Studio Team. Quote
