Such a masterpiece deserves a tribute as my desktop wallie. Long live Anohanaism. http://i.imgur.com/nwNqTWl.png

You guys are overreacting... I've been here for a while and progress hasn't been particularly better in the past than it is today. I'm calling it. If suddenly 2 or 3 projects are completed by mid 2014, you'll all say "ou mai gadz, ze dark aigez haz com to an endz!"

Woah... D.C.III moved up 5%... ... .... ..... http://i.imgur.com/FX6rC.jpg

Sony the same as usual... The homebrewers must be hard at work. (Sarcasm)

Why? Unless they purposefully troll us with a snails pace (or the VN is shitty) I see the tl finalising in 6 months, 8 tops.

Oh lord... it's so vintage, but at the same time SOOOO HOT. And megane is not my kind of thing, mind you. XD

Genius, Herr Fuhrer! *Salutes* Too bad Loppez is in banned land right now....NOT. HOPE HE STAYS THERE FOREVER, GROWING MUSHROOMS IN SOME DARK CREVICE OF THE EARTH.

Just started Higurashi. I hope it's as good as you guys claim it is XD LOL joke, So far I'm having a blast! (using PS2 patch, sorry Ryukishi...)

Tis, the holy writings of our exalted Switch-sama! HAIL, HERR FUHRER! *Salutes*

Update! :3 Here's a test sprite! DarkSin is very talented!! Have a look!! Be advised though, this is a coloured draft, not final and we still need to decide on a base style, but this one's so beautiful I needed to share it with you guys! http://i.imgur.com/Ll3iC2k.jpg How is it, amazing ain't it? DarkSin is on a whole different level XD

following the miku trend :3 http://i.imgur.com/Y4ELjh5.png

Update :3 And they keep on coming! Well this time it's more and more surprises! An artist has joined our ranks!! We welcome our newest member: DarkSin He's our Lead artist. Yup, you read that right. He's taking over the sprites (let's accept it my sprites were not very good XD) and he'll be doing the CG's too! Anyway, he'll now be helping us with his wonderful art! But that's not all... Also a musician has joined our ranks too!! :3 Meet our second newest member: Vokoca He'll compose/produce some tunes for the VN! Indeed these are wonderful times for Project Violet! Many many thanks guys, this is also thanks to your kindness and support! Stay tuned for more updates this week, when we'll reveal Darksin's sprites!!

Duly noted. I'll get to it in a bit.

Fixed :3 Thanks for the heads up.

ROFL! There should be a favourite button somewhere!!! I'm making this my signature, with your permission, Switch. :9

Artwork update - A foreword by Chibi Artist, Maoh Well, my name is Mau. I'm a novice artist who draws during my lunch and/or free time, and I'm the chibi artist with the Violet Hill project. It’s my first ‘real’ job in regards to my hobby, but I expect the project to turn out really good considering chocogami's brain and helve's stunning drawing skills. I’m happy to be on the team, and I’ll endeavour to do what I can to help the project. I hope you enjoy the biography post that Helvetica put together http://i.imgur.com/dbo8wGT.png http://i.imgur.com/b39CR5r.png http://i.imgur.com/ZiRwF2T.png http://i.imgur.com/Vb2kzpk.png http://i.imgur.com/HHjvIkf.png http://i.imgur.com/EWHNeWI.png

LOL, you've probably read far more VN's than me.. XD Anyway, go for: Stein's gate. (it has nothing to do with what you ask, but ignore that.) nuff said. You don't need anything more.

HUGEASS UPDATE :3 Hello everyone! It's been a very busy time at work and I hardly logged in to check things out around here. We at the staff have been busy as well, with Chocolatemilkgod slamming his head against his desk as he traverses the "editing hell", our beta testers testing the hell out of the demo, me drawing shitty sprites like there's no tomorrow and our newest member Maoh, who is hard at work with the chibi art! We are proud and happy to present you with this big update, mostly in regards to the art department. Consider this update an introductory post for the REAL surprise that I will post later today! :3 Project Violet Staff Team Members (as of February 2nd 2014) Writing, programming, scripting, design and sprite artwork: Helvetica Standard. Editor in chief: Chocolatemilkgod. Chibi artist/Chibi CG artist: Maoh QC, Beta Testing: Linkman19 Beta Testing: Yachi Lyrics for yaoi end: OMA People who wanted to help but we haven't heard of them for a while: Azada Dubs Kaguya Hazel-bun Kaskade AND NOW, THE MEAT! Welcome our newest member! MAOH! And his mad skillz for chibis! http://i.imgur.com/9HFKlHN.png Aren't they cute? Chibi art for all heroines is ready and Maoh is currently working on Chibi CG's Meanwhile Chocolatemilkgod... http://31.media.tumblr.com/c9e750f96e52b0468eeecf69a2b92ff0/tumblr_mr34rgGnTg1qk9f8bo1_400.gif LOL, wrong image! XD Anyway he is hard at work editing DEMO for v3 release and also editing the scripts for chapter 2. Meanwhile our beta testers: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Um3grmi81SA/T0cg_qPDBmI/AAAAAAAAEJU/MU_zPBf5ooY/s320/viploader462794.jpg Are hard at work of course! :3 As for me: http://www.wordans.ca/wvc-1324842456/wordansfiles/images/2011/12/25/114287/114287_340.jpg But of course! XD Anyway here is the lowdown of how I somehow ended drawing the character sprites for Violet hill. Plan A: Find an artist willing to help us do the sprites (FAILED) Plan B: Keep at it (FAILED) Plan C: Go nuts and nearly kill something (SUCCEEDED) Plan D: Go for contingency plan E. Plan E: No contingency plan. Failproof plan: "Do it yourself" And that's how I ended doing it. Such labour is going to take me ages as I'm not a very good artist but here's the progress so far anyway. XD Weapons: -Several $%& expensive books on how to draw manga/anime -Hours of youtube tutorials -My Intuos 7 drawing tablet -Faith It all started with Rin's sketch.... http://i.imgur.com/74iyIKJ.png And then outlining... http://i.imgur.com/5nYcihy.png In the end the result was better than I expected, and we got this first sprite of Rin (Alpha) http://i.imgur.com/vX6RA4G.png Thus, the ordeal continued once again with all heroines.. First sketching: http://i.imgur.com/BxDqHoy.png Then outlining: http://i.imgur.com/eect1pR.png Then applying basic colour: http://i.imgur.com/6s5oIok.png Then adding shadows and fine tuning: http://i.imgur.com/awjd07M.png But....... Eyes were a bit too plain so we decided to add some blending for a more professional looking sprites: First attempt at blending: http://i.imgur.com/vDDtPpD.png Then with proper guidance, the eye blend succeeded: http://i.imgur.com/q7osLzN.png A quick image to show progression: http://i.imgur.com/4pZSX6W.png What helped lots to do the sprites? those expensive books and YOUTUBE and its wonderful tutorials! Also Chocolatemilkgod linked Maoh and me to the winning blending tutorial: http://i.imgur.com/EeeZv2n.png And then after finishing I... http://global3.memecdn.com/so-tired_o_569601.jpg DID I MENTION HOW WONDERFUL ARE MAOH'S CHIBIS? http://i.imgur.com/9HFKlHN.png And well.. that's it for now guys. PREPARE YOUR ANUS EYES FOR TODAY'S SURPRISE WHICH I'LL POST LATER See you around! :3
