You can pretty much scratch Ein out. We're sick of him =D I'd say have a choice with one of the four girls and they can flirt with whoever. I hate battle systems in dating sims because they're redundant and boring.

Posted by: Archeia Jan 23 2008, 11:02 AM

I voted for Hector to see results :P
I was thinking of that too chef, but...what if the person doesn't want to use a girl to flirt with another girl :P

Posted by: ChefMKT Jan 23 2008, 11:04 AM

Then you can insert unknown male protagonist!

Posted by: Archeia Jan 23 2008, 11:12 AM

Haha XD
Maybe I Should include Claude *shrugs*

Posted by: Rhiannon Jan 23 2008, 11:15 AM

I want to play as Hector and try to date Malice. :(

Posted by: Archeia Jan 23 2008, 11:16 AM

Ah, so that's why you said Hector!!

Posted by: ChefMKT Jan 23 2008, 11:16 AM

You should insert Reiche as a character / possible candidate.

Posted by: Archeia Jan 23 2008, 11:26 AM

That'll be cool, But I'm also thinking the possibility of how many artworks I have to draw O.O;;

To be honest I think I can take on at least 2-5 characters. Or maybe I should release it by version like Cierra Dating Version etc.

Posted by: CATGUN Jan 23 2008, 01:43 PM

Why you guys want to date with Hector?he was trying to kill us damnit!!!about the dating sim game,why don't you make it one by one.I mean like first dating sim game you start ein and you are out to have with fia,lina,ciera ans serene.While the next one you start as lina and this version you can unlock ein by beating the game and it now has voiceover and so on.Check Newgrounds dating sim game you can get more idea there.And I support this.

Posted by: Irysa Jan 23 2008, 05:55 PM

Cierra

I vote 10 times because I want the Yuri so bad.


ACTUALLY WAIT I DUNNO, COULD I TAKE IT BACK FOR OTHER BECAUSE SOALA WOULD BE AWESOME TOO.

Posted by: vahn14 Jan 23 2008, 10:03 PM

i agree with releasing it by version. I think there should be a version for each of the girls and one for Malice or Hector.

But what about the Accursed?!

Posted by: Archeia Jan 24 2008, 12:48 AM

I won't include the accursed sadly because it's too much work and they're dead ^^;

Ok, by version then.

Posted by: Irysa Jan 24 2008, 01:34 AM

Can I kiss your feet? D:

Posted by: Archeia Jan 24 2008, 02:04 AM

N-no need ahehehe ^^;

The problem I have now is the character personalities, I'm not even sure if Ein really is a pervert or stuff like that ^^;

I'm bad at this, except I can understand Lina 100% complete :)

For those who are in doubt I can do this:

Here's some proof :)

BG is just there >.> It's temporary.

Posted by: sandpenguin Jan 24 2008, 08:20 AM

Will always stick to Cierra until the end of my short but fruitful life...

Posted by: CATGUN Jan 24 2008, 10:08 AM

Did you draw this because this is very nice and beautiful.If you can I would like this also again but with serene replacing malice and lina replacing serene position.In other word..Tomboy girl(serene)xCute innocent little girl(lina)!!!!

Posted by: Archeia Jan 24 2008, 10:32 AM

yes I drew it earlier for Yuka :)

I decided to release it by version but one of my main problem(s) is/are that I don't know the characters too much, I know I played Riviera a lot of times but I just don't get the personality of other characters, Lina, Fia, Serene, Malice and Ledah are the ones I know more but when it comes to Cierra and Ein, there's just some stuff that I don't get :P

and I think Soala didn't show too much persona due to limited dialogue, etc. etc. Unless I am allow to have too much freedom in this thing it'll be not like Riviera.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 24 2008, 01:02 PM

A Dating Sim?

I love you.

I agree with the version's idea. Also, I think you should sit it in Elendia. Yuri is your friend...
I don't want Ein in this sim, he well just screw it up >_>

Oh, and...

SOALA!

Posted by: CATGUN Jan 24 2008, 01:03 PM

Oh yeah I forgot to ask something how do you going to create the scene the game,I mean like are you going to use the background from the game,or you going to make it by your own?and what about the scene(i mean like ein kiss girl)you are going to do a sprite hacking or draw it by yourself?anything is fine with me but if you need any help with the music or creating the scene(exp ein kiss and sleep with the one who you date)me and REDHENTAI can help you.

Posted by: Irysa Jan 24 2008, 09:53 PM

Catgun, shut the hell up.


Cierra is more of a ditzy, absent minded big sister than anything.

Ein I suppose acts more like a sheltered ( aka, ignorant ), prepubescent, with a tinge of a perverted side I guess.

All we get from Soala is that she's clumsy really, so you get artistic freedom on that.

Posted by: Archeia Jan 24 2008, 10:10 PM

Ah, everything in here is drawn by me :D
Because the Riviera art style is very different by mine.

I won't use any sprites here since no one wants battles so it's like A Visual Novel-ish type of game.

Posted by: DustyHaru Jan 24 2008, 11:02 PM

Nah Ein is just one of those "There-at-the-right-place-at-the-right-time sort of persons. Or it might be wrong place wrong time, Depends on your take I guess

I agree with the version Idea, trying to take on a lot will overwhelm you.

-Dusty

Posted by: Archeia Jan 25 2008, 05:02 AM

Alright everyone, I talked to Irysa today at the IRC and decided to roll a dice. The first version will be Cierra :)(#1 appeared)

I already got started too ^^

Posted by: Ashtimus Prime Jan 25 2008, 08:22 AM

I want to play as myself and bag Cierra.

Posted by: Archeia Jan 25 2008, 08:26 AM

I got a feeling I should make some new protagonist and have it either a boy or a girl ._.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 25 2008, 12:18 PM

Your starting already?

I can't wait!

Take your time though. No need to rush it.

Posted by: Lucho Jan 25 2008, 02:38 PM

I like your idea and your drawings, so I say YES to this.

Posted by: DustyHaru Jan 25 2008, 03:16 PM

Make a choice of either gender?

-Dusty

Posted by: P.P.A. Jan 25 2008, 03:43 PM

GRAHAM

Or make it first-person so the player character is never seen, and you can enter a name.

Posted by: Ashtimus Prime Jan 25 2008, 04:57 PM

Can you let me play as a female and have a lesbain threesome with Cierra and Soala?

Posted by: CATGUN Jan 26 2008, 01:07 PM

Me shut up?Dude,If you think Archeia is the first person making riviera fangames then think again remenber this thread: http://leyviur.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2141 the model is the same dude.I just want to make sure Archeia finish this game okay.I don't know what application Archeia willl use in making this game but if I were Archeia I will use Flash cs3 as it easier to create the game.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 26 2008, 02:45 PM

Only diffence is Archeia is really doing it. Who the hell cares is its been metioned before? I wanna see this game, so don't be a douche.

Posted by: Yuka Jan 26 2008, 06:15 PM

Nobody cares about Mindthinker.

Posted by: Irysa Jan 26 2008, 07:39 PM

I came.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 26 2008, 07:46 PM

OMG!

LACRIMACASTLE ORGIE!

Posted by: Archeia Jan 27 2008, 12:13 AM

@Dusty You can choose you gender so hehe.

@ Ash And a three some? I'll see if I can do it.

@Catgun, I have no idea on how to use Flash CS3 so I won't be using it.
I'm using ... Renpy on this one, a visual novel engine so powerful that I'm in love with it.

Well so far...

The story is pretty rough concept for now but it's 5%
Graphics are still undergoing thumbnailing and I wasn't able to do it yesterday because I visit my Great Uncle that I've never seen before :D

I have a rough image of the new protagonist, but I think he/she will do fine :)

Posted by: Lucho Jan 27 2008, 01:39 AM

SHOW US SHOW US

Posted by: Archeia Jan 27 2008, 02:09 AM

I will..

soon enough after the evil chores =_=

Posted by: CATGUN Jan 27 2008, 02:37 AM

I wonder what happen to mindthinker?

Posted by: Archeia Jan 27 2008, 03:01 AM

I think he quit?
Or simply didn't know that lacrima is alive.

Posted by: DustyHaru Jan 27 2008, 07:37 PM

chores == evil
Indeed. Good Job on the work so far ^_^

-Dusty

Posted by: Megaolix Jan 27 2008, 07:52 PM

First time I see this, but I admit I like the idea.

I myself would prefer to play as a male, if I had to choose.

Posted by: P.P.A. Jan 27 2008, 07:56 PM

HEY

I HAVE A GREAT IDEA

GRAHAM BOTH AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER AND AS ONE OF THE NPCs

HOT GRAHAM X GRAHAM ACTION

Posted by: Lucho Jan 27 2008, 09:15 PM

DUDE BUT THAT'S ALMOST LIKE NECROPHILIA

Posted by: Archeia Jan 28 2008, 03:09 AM

Graham? Th-the old man??

*almost forgot about him ._.;;*

*erases story*

I forgot about the Rose ending, back to ground zero ._.;;

I'll finish this Cierra portrait and post the link here a lil' bit later.

Posted by: Rune_Ocarina Jan 28 2008, 03:18 AM

Wow, you have my 100% support on this project. Though honestly, I don't know how to support it other than saying "Keep up the good job and I can't wait to play it." I'd probably play a guy, but I'd guess it'd be cool to play a girl just for the purpose of replayability.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 28 2008, 03:37 AM

I almost forgot something: What kind of setting is this going to have?

Posted by: Archeia Jan 28 2008, 03:52 AM

Ah well I already have a new idea again xD
Showers are always so helpful.

So yeah...I have an idea for the new antagonist but I'll keep it as a secret for now since I'm having second thoughts.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 28 2008, 06:22 AM

Not bad. So he's the new character?

What kind of personality does he have?

Posted by: Archeia Jan 28 2008, 08:02 AM

I was thinking of making the personality depending on the choices you're going to make just for variety :)

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 28 2008, 08:31 AM

That sounds pretty interesting. I can either make him a womenizer, or I can make I'm a flaming ass pirate.

Posted by: P.P.A. Jan 28 2008, 11:53 AM

THIS MUST BE GRAHAM WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER *shot*

Looks great, but (no offence) I think the clothes are a bit too modern. After all Riviera seems to be set in some pre-medieval time or something.

Posted by: Lucho Jan 28 2008, 01:46 PM

I like the character design.
But is he a Grim Angel or what?

Posted by: Yuka Jan 28 2008, 09:29 PM

This Cyrus guy looks cocky.

Posted by: Archeia Jan 28 2008, 09:51 PM

I forgot to add the strings XD
Actually it is a lil bit too modern, I was trying something like Ein with a halo of Ledah but it seems I messed up. I'll fix it up ASAP.

@Yuka, yes he is supposed to be cocky XD

@Lucho he is a Grim Angel :)

Posted by: DustyHaru Jan 28 2008, 09:57 PM

he lost his wings too? =(
(I know it really doesn't mean much to the dating-sim sort of thing, I get it)

-Dusty

Posted by: aerozero Jan 28 2008, 11:35 PM

I agree with Sauce.

Very nice drawing though Archeia, you have great drawing skills.

Posted by: Archeia Jan 29 2008, 12:13 AM

I have to remove it because it makes the resolution too big X_X;
But he supposed to have one but I rather have him with wings, I'll see what I can do to it :)

@aerozero thanks :D

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 29 2008, 03:05 PM

This probable doesn't matter but: What element is he? Fire? Ice?

Why not Thunder. To my knowlegde, there are no Thunder based Grim Angels.

Posted by: DustyHaru Jan 29 2008, 07:52 PM

to add to that, I was wondering if Grim Angels could actually have whip weapons. It was hard to think of them when I looked at the other Diviners. So go for the Claws :D
...
oh wait those might be harder

-Dusty

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 29 2008, 08:23 PM

Grim Angel with a whip huh?

Posted by: DustyHaru Jan 29 2008, 08:37 PM

well...you know =__=

-Dusty

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 29 2008, 08:57 PM

I do?

Oh and Archeia, how many endings are there going to be?

Posted by: Archeia Jan 30 2008, 05:20 AM

Ok now to answer questions XD
Sorry for replying so long, school just started today :P

Ok about the main guy...
...

As for the ending...
There'll be....

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jan 30 2008, 03:07 PM

I'm glad I was able to "spark" you...

Clever word play >_>

Posted by: Lucho Jan 31 2008, 12:21 AM

Posted by: P.P.A. Feb 3 2008, 09:18 PM

WHERE IS THE GRAHAM ENDING

Posted by: Lord Rasler Feb 4 2008, 01:45 PM

I wonder what you did with her personallity...

Posted by: Archeia Feb 4 2008, 11:14 PM

Sorry that I haven't updated for so long, school and Chores has been eating my time that it's almost ridiculous. I'll try finishing up the portraits and update about the story ASAP.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Feb 6 2008, 12:55 AM

I meant Soala...

Sorry for not making it clear :(

Posted by: Archeia Feb 6 2008, 05:01 AM

Ah! Soala!

Posted by: Lord Rasler Feb 7 2008, 06:48 AM

Ok, thats good. It's always hard to create a characters personality. What progress have you made?

Posted by: Ashtimus Prime Feb 7 2008, 10:51 AM

Harem ending?

Posted by: Lord Rasler Feb 8 2008, 05:18 PM

I second that motion.

Posted by: CATGUN Feb 9 2008, 01:09 PM

Character personality....character weapon.....Hmmm....I don't found any of this might have to do with the story progress after all but I may br wrong but then again...this remind me of that thread and...it almost the same....hmm...whatever don't focus too much on the game story or the character personality.And for starter make a beta of the game for safe bet,you don't have to put all of the charater and story first.Let people know how does the game feel like.Hmm..this dialogue do feel like a bit familiar but where?

Posted by: Lord Rasler Feb 9 2008, 02:46 PM

Uh...

Let me turn that into english now. I THINK what he was trying to say was you should make a demo of some kind. Maybe even give us some of the story line.

Posted by: Archeia Feb 11 2008, 02:44 AM

Forgive me for not replying too soon. My school has beat me senseless that I have little time to draw, however, I already started the script (which I bring along at all my classes in a notebook) and write on it from time to time, I can't make a demo without a script and it'll be a waste of time since it'll confuse the hell out of me if I edit the code in some time.

I don't want to start anything until I finally finish the story, I'm not some stupid person that will say, "I'll make a game! But I don't focus on the basic elements such as characters, doh."

While doing this script, I have noticed that character element, and weapon can affect the initiation I have in mind. Specially towards the fight scenes, If you ever read Tsukihime, Fate/Stay Night, Ballad of the Evening Butterfly or whatever, this can add up into entertainment.

This game will be made in Renpy, a visual novel engine. It has Python Programming Language, and very versatile and easy to use.

As for the story, here goes,

I won't say any further than this! It's spoilerific and I won't have too much surprises presented once I release the demo/game at some point. So pleaaasee stop comparing me to am specific person that just disappeared. I'm a game maker for 5 years and now going 6 so please x.x

I'm trying to finish even just halfway of the script before I go dash off and go to renpy. I hope this made everyone happy.

::EDIT::

New Cyrus in Grim Angel Form!!!

Posted by: Archeia Feb 12 2008, 11:56 PM

Alright, I'm almost done coloring #007 ^^
However I have to post it a lil bit later because I'm at school right now and I can't open photobucket or any of some sort.

Posted by: Lucho Feb 13 2008, 01:42 AM

From Newgrounds?
Which one?

Posted by: Archeia Feb 13 2008, 05:48 AM

I think the name is just Sim?
Where you'll raise, strength, knowledge and charisma and stuff like those.

Posted by: Lucho Feb 13 2008, 02:27 PM

You raise those stats in almost every sim game there.

Posted by: Suzu Fujibayashi Feb 13 2008, 08:50 PM

Might be SimGirl. I dunno. That is about the most "common" one.
Looks interesting on this. o: *Stalks thread in the shadows*

Posted by: Archeia Feb 14 2008, 05:38 AM

You're this guy to choose what class you are, like teacher and stuff.
I'll edit this post for 007's pic and

Great work with #007 by the way!

Posted by: Archeia Feb 29 2008, 11:35 AM

Ok! New update~

CIERRA :D



Fia and Serene...:D

Posted by: Lucho Feb 29 2008, 01:11 PM

Looking good.

Fia looks older.

Posted by: CATGUN Feb 29 2008, 05:18 PM

Nice,show some of lina,ein and ledah too^-^.

Posted by: Raijinili Feb 29 2008, 09:48 PM

I agree, her longer face makes her look too old.

Posted by: sandpenguin Mar 13 2008, 06:17 AM

Do you mean Pico Sim Date? Yeah, there were lots of flash games there, good for some ideas and references to all new flash game makers......

Can you fix Fia's link? I cannot click on it....maybe it's expired?

Cool game, :-)......I will wait eagerly for it......oh, if you complete it, where would you publish it Archeia? Don't forget to PM me the link if you complete it because I'm pretty busy at this section of year......

Thanks for your contribution to this site.....

Posted by: Archeia Mar 13 2008, 10:48 AM

@Sandpenguin, the game will be released here in this topic and uhh in my personal site. As for Fia's link I'll fix that a lil bit later since I'm lagging when I'm opening my photobucket ^^;

Flash game I completely forgot about it XD

@ Everyone, thanks for the constructive criticism! I didn't notice I made Fia look a lot older :P I'll be updating maybe next week as I'm swamped with school work and barely made progress in this thing, I truly apologize :(

Just a quick question, would you guys like this to be like the Original Riviera with battles? And Trigger points and such?

Posted by: Suzu Fujibayashi Mar 13 2008, 03:24 PM

Actually the link works: You just have to copy/paste it into your browser. You can't click it for some reason...

But very nice. I like them.

I'll think on that. *Thinks*

Posted by: Lucho Mar 13 2008, 03:40 PM

I hate the battle system that dating sim games usually have, but the idea of the Trigger Points is nice. You can do a lot of things with those in a game like this.

Posted by: Archeia Apr 13 2008, 11:35 AM

ALRIGHT! BIG UPDATE!!

First of all thanks to Dying Mermaid, seriously, thank you, because now, Miss Ayawolfmon (http://ayawolfmon.deviantart.com/) agreed to help me with the game and now with 2 artists working on the game I'm hoping to finish this sooner than expected ^_^

Rough Designs had been made by Miss Ayawolfmon
http://fc06.deviantart.com/fs28/i/2008/104/4/d/Rough_Designs_by_ayawolfmon.jpg

And in my side I haven't scanned the new characters because I'm lazy and stupid :( I don't like setting up the scanner all over again fixing it and stuff so I'll get on to it ASAP for miss Ayawolfmon ^_^

On the other hand, I made progress at the story-wise and I finally got used to the engine I'm going to use for this game~ The script is going to be proofread by a friend of mine Jihaus (http://jihaus.deviantart.com) since he graduated and took Journalism ( I hope my sentence is correct)

What else...The Music. Right. Well I have some composers in my list that I have yet to ask, mostly Pistol Moustache (I still need to ask them) and my great composer friend, Chef agreed to make music for this (*cough* because it's an adult game*cough*). I need to remind him though.

Overall~ This is the update for today~ Enjoy~~

Posted by: DustyHaru Apr 13 2008, 12:09 PM

The art is nice.

and good job on finding all those people.

-Dusty

Posted by: sandpenguin Apr 13 2008, 02:23 PM

Good luck then....dang, if only I can help fixing up the scanner.....anyhow, the only thing that I can help is through motivation and ideas then,

Oh really? The link works?

Posted by: Archeia Apr 16 2008, 12:48 AM

Ah well since I uploaded it, might as well update this thread...

Copy link to browser if it won't work when you clicky it :)

Posted by: Astraea Apr 16 2008, 02:15 AM

I wanna see this game finished. :)

All of the effort you put into it... wow. You must be really dedicated. I for one have no idea how to start and create a game like what you're doing right now...

Posted by: Archeia Apr 16 2008, 03:27 AM

Well it takes dedication (I will make a game someday!!11), google and lots of time XD

I forgot to add that I had Kaede as the official composer for this game.
Her type of music really fits in and she's a good remixer, so we might remix the songs for variety :D

Thank you all for tuning in :)

Edit:

Updates!

Posted by: DustyHaru Apr 23 2008, 07:46 PM

Her art reminds me of CLAMP's style; but it looks good.
(Yea Ein looks a lot like Shaoran.)

Posted by: Yuka Apr 23 2008, 09:21 PM

Serene looks like a slut for the redesign.

Posted by: Suzu Fujibayashi Apr 23 2008, 10:04 PM

I haven't heard anything... "Good" out of Yuka in a long time... >_>

But wow thats some progress. Impressive. I always say I'll make a game but I'm too lazy and unmotivated to ever make one... :P

Posted by: Yuka Apr 23 2008, 10:58 PM

And me not saying anything automatically implies I don't like it? What kind of stupid world do you live in?

Posted by: Irysa Apr 23 2008, 11:42 PM

On the whole, I really do like those new designs a lot.

Especially Serene.

Only realm qualm is with Ein. Not really a big fan of the HAIR OVER EYES thing.

Posted by: Archeia Apr 23 2008, 11:55 PM

Bad thing? :X

Oh, and and, I have a landscape artist finally :D

Those are his works, I'm really excited to see what this project will look like! *excited*
Oh and a new OC character, named Lethe, she's a demon.

http://ayawolfmon.deviantart.com/art/Lethe-the-Death-83364038

I'm still working on the script and I like how it's going on so far :3

I'm thinking of redesigning Elendia, but I'm still thinking.

Posted by: P.P.A. Apr 24 2008, 01:20 PM

Wow, the backgrounds look fantastic. :o
I also like Serene's redesign. Ein's... not so much. :/

Posted by: Astraea Apr 28 2008, 01:41 AM

You found one heck of a landscape artist there...
Nice work on the backgrounds.

Posted by: Archeia Apr 29 2008, 05:52 AM

Just to clear things up with Ein's redesign
His position is just from a bird's eyeview/or more like he's bowing his head at the previous pic.
Here's a more elaborate pic

Posted by: Irysa Apr 29 2008, 01:00 PM

THE ORIGINAL SERENE REDESIGN WAS BETTER.

SAUCE SUCKS FOR MAKING HER CHANGE IT.



Also, GODDAMN. Ein is one sexy bastard in that one. I'd hit it.


In fact, I'd rather do Ein in that picture than any of the other girls.

Posted by: CATGUN Apr 29 2008, 01:12 PM

Can't wait for it^-^ You must had a hard time drawing all of this.Oh and Ein look like he gonna had a hard time choosing which girl he want(or boy).Oh yeah does this game also enable you(the player) to have multiple girl(or boy) to go with.For example:Ein with Lina and Serene.

Posted by: Archeia Apr 30 2008, 06:18 AM

That is a nice suggestion Catgun, but it's too much work. I added a lot of choices for you guys to get bad endings though >:)

I'm halway done at the Script's Phase 1 (Heaven's Gate Scenario) I always find myself correcting mistakes here and there so It felt like forever to finish Phase 1 x.x Now I have to type it >.>

If anyone wants to read the script just tell me ^_^ *although I have to pick 1 for now :o*

Posted by: aerozero Apr 30 2008, 08:53 AM

Holy shit the artwork is epic.

This is some of the best Riviera fan art I've personally seen.

Sorry, I know I'm late, haven't been really keeping track of this thread, been busy staring at pigs and their innards for the past couple of days. >_>

Edit:

Wait, I'm confused, are you doing the character designs or are you collaborating with some other people?

Posted by: Archeia Apr 30 2008, 09:14 AM

Me and Aya are doing the character designs :3
The redesigns (Ein, Lina, Fia, Serene) and a special OC (Lethe) are hers.

While most of the OC's are mine, which has yet to be scanned >.>

Since she's better than me, I give her the OC stuff and she's taking care of them :) Although, I'm really slow :<

Posted by: Irysa Apr 30 2008, 12:58 PM

I'd like to see the script.

Posted by: Yuka May 1 2008, 01:28 AM

GEE NOW I FEEL GUILTY BECAUSE OF THE SERENE RE-REDESIGN. GEE. MAYBE PEOPLE SHOULD ACTUALLY NOTE THAT I WAS JUST POINTING IT OUT AND NOT ACTUALLY CRITICIZING IT. IT'S NOT LIKE I CAN DRAW, AFTER ALL.

Lol Valkyrie Profile.

Looks pretty good, by the way.

Posted by: P.P.A. May 15 2008, 08:38 PM

Holy crap, this is looking really professional now. I look forward to playing it!

EDIT: Oh, just a placeholder bg. >_>

Posted by: Archeia May 15 2008, 10:35 PM

Yeah, it's still the same Elendia. To be honest, I don't know how we are going to redesign or anything ^^;

That's the sprites I've done so far, now for Cierra and Ein and the rest T.T

Posted by: Megaolix May 16 2008, 01:23 PM

The more I read about your progress, the moer I'm looking foward to play this.

You're doing a great job.

Posted by: Suzu Fujibayashi May 16 2008, 04:04 PM

Nice sprites. Reminds me of Tales of style icons...
I think Fia's sword is too curved. She uses rapiers so shouldn't it be more straight and narrow?

Posted by: DustyHaru May 16 2008, 08:20 PM

just what I was about to say. Also, will you be keeping the sprite deisgns similar to the Riviera Designs? Fia would then be wearing a white drss with a black corset-thing would she not?

Posted by: aerozero May 16 2008, 11:12 PM

I'm down for new original designs.

Posted by: Archeia May 17 2008, 12:05 AM

Fia's sword isn't final yet :)
I'm trying to sprite the redesigned rapier by Aya.
All the sprites are going to be based on Aya's redesigns.

Phew, I have to fix those sprites though, I need to differentiate Fia's colors :P

Posted by: CATGUN May 17 2008, 01:58 AM

Huhu nice sprite.

Posted by: Lord Rasler May 17 2008, 12:36 PM

Great job on the sprites.

Posted by: Lucho May 17 2008, 05:24 PM

There's something about Fia's hair that I don't really like, but the others are nice.

Posted by: Dr Sturm May 17 2008, 05:28 PM

Maybe it's that she looks like Lenneth.

Posted by: Yuka May 17 2008, 06:36 PM

More and more Valkyrie Profile hints arise.

Posted by: Raijinili May 17 2008, 11:58 PM

Rapiers are straight, not like sabers.

Posted by: Archeia May 18 2008, 01:27 AM

I told you guys the sword isn't final :<
I'm going to fix the ribbons in after a while but if the sword really bothers you guys here's the fixed version Skie fixed for me yesterday that I showed to blues and Asaph



Cyrus - http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w320/ynlraey/Legend%20of%20Vanadia/Cyrus_Portrait-2.png

Posted by: CATGUN May 18 2008, 07:52 AM

All of this sprite almost look like character from tales of world series.(the gba version)(psp version sucks)

Fia is using rutee sprite.Lina is chester sprite while lethe is using student(kyaro costume) sprite.

Posted by: Archeia May 18 2008, 08:55 AM

Catgun, you guessed it all wrong except for Fia :P
Lethe's costume is 100% scratch btw
Even Lina's and Fia's so yeah >.>

Posted by: Raijinili May 18 2008, 09:29 AM

Rapiers have an inverted dome guard, I think.

Edit: Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapier#History

Yours looks more like a saber guard.

Posted by: Archeia May 18 2008, 10:04 AM

I think that much detail...

That'll be impossible to implement into the sprite style we're aiming for specially noting that sprites are kinda simplified version of the characters?
O.o

or in a more specific term from Skie:
"Sprite details can only go so far. Especially with that style."

Posted by: Skie May 18 2008, 10:12 AM

Just adding in my 2 cents to say that it's a futile effort to go that far in my opinion. Sprite details in this style can only go so far, and sometimes it's just a waste of effort to do such things.

Not to totally refute your criticism, I understand it, but I just think that it may be a little extreme to go as far as the hilt of a blade on a puny sprite like that. :3

Posted by: Yuka May 18 2008, 05:59 PM

Oh trust me, it's little details that make or break a game. However, your call; I'm not going to pressure you to do it.

Yeah, I noticed the saber thing too, actually <_<

Posted by: Dr Sturm May 18 2008, 06:24 PM

Try to remember, that those little things lead to bigger problems.
The more detailed an image is, the more frames of animation required to trick the brain into thinking it's moving. So, if they go overboard with the detail, it will either be another ten years to a beta release, or we'll get the shitty type of twitchy animation you saw in Odin Sphere - beautiful sprites without enough frames to make the animation look natural.

Posted by: Irysa May 24 2008, 06:21 AM

Vote time guys.

H scenes are probably in, but we're not going to throw any text at all in them. It's just CGs for each situation, you view em, unlock them, move on with the fucking story.



Is this cool?

Posted by: Dr Sturm May 24 2008, 06:59 AM

Against H-Scenes entirely.

Posted by: aerozero May 24 2008, 08:19 AM

I'm cool with it >_______>

Posted by: Chaos May 24 2008, 09:14 AM

Fine with me. ^_^

Posted by: P.P.A. May 24 2008, 08:09 PM

I personally prefer engaging dialogue in my hentai.

...and seeing how you could seduce the girls from Riviera, I actually have to second Sturm. I could have never imagined it, but the game and its girls mean too much to me for me to see an in-game scene with them getting fucked, sorry.

I'd have nothing against (more open if you know what I mean) bath scenes though.

Posted by: CATGUN May 25 2008, 03:37 AM

I will decide later of this hentai stuff.Even REDHENTAI say the same too.I was wondering something Archeia how did you make the sprite(Fia,lina and luthe) actually.Did you use photoshop or paintshop pro?

Posted by: Archeia May 25 2008, 04:14 AM

I used MS Paint Catgun.

And a cool update by Aya :3

http://fc04.deviantart.com/fs27/i/2008/146/b/b/Promo___Lines_on_Ein_Portraits_by_ayawolfmon.jpg

Aya, you are the light in my darkness *teary eyes*

Posted by: sandpenguin May 25 2008, 01:05 PM

Well, sorry it's been a while....but hey, both of you are working at top notch! The sprite looks good, although the rapier guard isn't like what it actually look to be, but I'm fine with it.

For the H-Scenes, I on at all the time but please don't put hardcore though, like PPA said to see a character (Favorite character) to be fuck isn't looks good.

I can see the dedication and effort you put into your game, I hope it will become a great game someday later, and don't worry, I will vote for it.

Heh, good promotion lines you posted there.....Ah Ein, it's just the same, naive look....good tidings then, bye!

Posted by: CATGUN May 25 2008, 01:49 PM

You know the internet is lack of rose pic ecpecially human rose so...I was wondering can you put more rose pic please.Rose need love too.^-^

Posted by: Archeia May 26 2008, 11:28 AM

Maybe~
Cierra so far~

Posted by: Irysa May 26 2008, 05:45 PM

Good god, hypocrisy much?

Even disregarding the fact you insist you don't masturbate ever and just save gigs and gigs of monstergirls on your PC for no reason AT ALL, you "seduce" characters in thousands upon thousands of h games and fuck them afterwards, screw that, NORMAL GAMES (minus fucking).

Not to mention the innumerable amounts of porn that said games produce anyway.


Why the shit did you save everything from that 7chan thread that was stuffed full of the CGs from Valkyrie if you don't want it in? You're just laughable.

Posted by: P.P.A. May 26 2008, 08:41 PM

That was pics off the internet, and not an event in an interactive game caused by my actions therein. Also I rarely play hentai games anyway (though primarily because A) parents and B) walls of text).

Also oops, apparently I didn't really know the real meaning of "seduce". So strike that out and replace it with something expressing sexual intercourse. >_>

And yes, I do save monstergirl pics and don't fap to them! And no, I don't know that's the point of it then but I don't care!

Posted by: Archeia May 27 2008, 05:27 AM

Oh guys please settle that in PM :(
Right now I'm working on the script again, been a while since I started again :P

Posted by: CATGUN May 27 2008, 08:37 AM

REDHENTAI:Hentai later, game first but personally need more hardcore Lina.

CATGUN:Whatever pic I fine with it.


Hmm...?Are you working on the next script or are you making it over again?

Posted by: Archeia May 27 2008, 11:14 AM

I'm continuing it :P

Cierra, Lina, Serene, Meute and Rose Redesigns :3

Posted by: Irysa Jun 2 2008, 08:05 AM

Meute design is fucking awesome.

Fia is reminding me more of a Valkyrie by the day with those ribbon setups.



Although, the Rose design seems a bit...weird in a way I can't seem to touch.

Posted by: Archeia Jun 2 2008, 08:16 AM

I think I know what you mean :)
Her shoulder doesn't connect with her arm.

Posted by: Lord Rasler Jun 2 2008, 10:26 AM

Meute's design in amazing.

Cierra's design is good too.

Posted by: Yuka Jun 2 2008, 05:33 PM

I really like Cierra's design, and yeah, Fia's reminding me of a valkyrie too.

Posted by: Dr Sturm Jun 2 2008, 05:42 PM

Fia looks like a Chobits ripoff. Please return to the drawing board with that one.

Posted by: CATGUN Jun 3 2008, 08:31 AM

My such a redesign.They look perfect to me.

Posted by: Raijinili Jun 7 2008, 11:18 PM

Yeah, why does Fia have these weird things on the front? It looks impossible to put on.

Her ears should be more visible.

The other three look too sexualized.

Posted by: CATGUN Jun 8 2008, 03:00 AM

Still can't wait for it. How's the ein and ledah character design going?

Posted by: Suzu Fujibayashi Jun 8 2008, 06:06 AM

Wow impressive redesigns indeed o_o
I like them all really. And on the topic of H-scenes you may need to be more specific. After all a H-scene doesn't 100% of the time mean sex. Could just be nudity.
*Shrug*

Posted by: Archeia Jun 8 2008, 07:17 AM

ORZ

I..didn't know this thing could make me stressed out...
If only I have better artistic skill this wouldn't bother me too much...
Problem is I'm not the one drawing and she's doing this on her own good will so it's really painful for me to ask her to redesign Fia seeing I kinda like the design, I asked her to change the ribbons back to normal so yeah I hope that'll solve the things.

I'm not sure about the sexualized stuff seeing that's her art style?

Posted by: aerozero Jun 8 2008, 07:51 AM

I love your friend's art style

Posted by: Archeia Jun 8 2008, 12:09 PM

W-well, thank goodness it's ok for Aya to make some changes to the redesigns, so aside from changing Fia's ribbons and reducing the number of belts of her design do you guys have any suggestions for the other characters?

This way we won't have to redesign over and over again ;_;

*sulks in corner*

Posted by: P.P.A. Jun 8 2008, 02:49 PM

Cierra, Rose and Meute look especially hot. <3
And yes I agree that these things around Fia's ear look weird.

Posted by: Irysa Jun 8 2008, 06:27 PM

No particular complaints with the rest of them really.

Posted by: Yuka Jun 8 2008, 09:47 PM

Seconded.

Posted by: Lucho Jun 9 2008, 02:07 AM

Cierra looks REALLY sexy.
Keep it up, Archeia!

Posted by: Rhiannon Jun 9 2008, 02:40 AM

Aside from Fia's belts and ribbon, I don't like how her top thingy looks. The green part, I mean. It looks out of place. Like there's not enough green on her outfit for it to not look wrong, I guess. I don't know, maybe it will look better if there's one less belt near it, but right now it just looks strange to me.

Only one other problem. This one is with Serene, though. It's the white part of the end of her skirt. It looks... odd. Like it's just a sheet or something. It's probably because it's so separated from the blue part, but I don't know and I don't think it looks good.

Everything else is fine.

Posted by: CATGUN Jun 16 2008, 10:25 AM

Hmm..when I look at the poll vote result,it seem that many people prefer playing as Ein and other character than Cierra,serene,lina and fia..And to much my suprise no one vote fia...yet.

Edit:oh crap forgot to check the vote carefully.

Posted by: Lucho Jun 16 2008, 01:50 PM

Well, I don't see Fia as the main character of a Sim Dating game.

I'll probably play as one of the new characters, since I don't really like Ein.

Posted by: Archeia Jun 16 2008, 10:15 PM

Well since this was bumped, might as well say the progress.

Almost done with the beginning's script, after that, the game :P
Maybe I'll release a short demo sometime after aya finished the first few portraits :')

This looks cool! I can't wait to play it.

Posted by: Sigmund Jul 19 2008, 03:32 AM

The first is good.

Not sure what the second is >____>

Posted by: Archeia Jul 19 2008, 09:20 AM

Ah those are just samples of her works, here's the real one

Posted by: CATGUN Jul 19 2008, 01:01 PM

Is that lethe?Wow she's so cute^-^

Posted by: Raijinili Jul 24 2008, 05:37 AM

Sauce, the other is Mari...

Though I love Desuart the best. Well, Liger too.

Those eyes are seriously devoid and without emotion, but other than that, it looks nice.

Posted by: Sigmund Jul 28 2008, 02:39 PM

I'd have to agree with Sauce on this one.

The art is amazing however :)

Posted by: Archeia Jul 29 2008, 06:32 AM

Umm guys Ein had the same eyes when it was B&W, it gains "life" when it's colored O.o
And uhh

Posted by: Yuka Jul 30 2008, 12:38 AM

I was not aware of this!

And nice logo.

Posted by: Sigmund Jul 31 2008, 02:47 AM

Very nice logo.

Posted by: GameBoo Jul 31 2008, 04:29 AM

It's better when the backround's like that.

Posted by: Lucho Jul 31 2008, 04:27 PM

That logo looks awesome.

Posted by: Malice Aug 1 2008, 02:37 AM

Oh snap, why haven't I heard of this? Good luck with this project..! Love the logo too!

Posted by: Archeia Aug 4 2008, 06:24 AM

Hmm I feel like I'll need to edit this a lot but oh well

Posted by: Irysa Aug 4 2008, 01:09 PM

The only thing you could make better is making the arms a bit less pixelated. Everything else looks fine to me.

Posted by: Archeia Aug 4 2008, 11:08 PM

I'll add anti-aliases on the arm then.

Posted by: P.P.A. Aug 5 2008, 10:00 AM

The eyes could still look a bit better (see what I did there), but other than that it's great.

Posted by: Archeia Aug 5 2008, 10:57 AM

Here's another one, I might edit a lot more :3

Posted by: Irysa Aug 5 2008, 08:49 PM

THEY'RE ALL WIMMEN.

Posted by: Archeia Aug 5 2008, 10:42 PM

Yes they are :D
Unless you want me to make Ignis a guy :o

Posted by: Raijinili Aug 6 2008, 03:20 AM

I don't like that they have black borders. Looks retro.

Posted by: Archeia Aug 6 2008, 03:35 AM

Have to put darker borders or they'll blend in too much with the menu :P
And I like Outlines :<

Posted by: Archeia Aug 8 2008, 08:22 PM

Posted by: Enzd Aug 8 2008, 11:59 PM

Her eyes kind of scare me...

Great job!

Posted by: GameBoo Aug 9 2008, 12:17 AM

That looks cool.

Posted by: CATGUN Aug 9 2008, 10:23 AM

Cool is this one of the monster or one of the summoned guardian?The green one is a bit creepy(her eyes is a bit scary).But the artwork is still ok.

Posted by: Archeia Aug 9 2008, 10:37 AM

It's a summon, well I'll fix Gaia sometime if I have more time :)

Posted by: DustyHaru Aug 9 2008, 01:47 PM

it reminds me of Nightmare from Soul Calibur.
Maybe it's the purple armor.

Posted by: yip9 Aug 11 2008, 12:11 AM

Of course Lethe is is cute. It's a postulate.

Archeia, is this still going to be a dating sim? Seems like its going more toward traditional RPG now, with fights and stuff.

Posted by: Archeia Aug 11 2008, 06:46 AM

ok here goes, It is a RPG-Dating Sim game albeit similar to the original.

It's a short game though, so sorry guys.

Posted by: Archeia Aug 21 2008, 06:05 AM

badump!

First pic:Burn in the flame of the fury.Nice .
Second pic:Weird is this light type monster or a sky type monster?

Posted by: Enzd Aug 21 2008, 11:51 AM

Just because it's fire doesn't mean it's fury. *rolleyes*

Posted by: Lucho Aug 21 2008, 04:44 PM

I think you should lower the arms a bit.

Posted by: Yuka Aug 21 2008, 08:24 PM

Looks good, despite the fact that I think there are probably better fonts to use.

That doesn't mean to change the font just because I disagree with the font choice.

Seriously, don't. If you do I'll be really sad. :(

Posted by: Archeia Aug 21 2008, 10:17 PM

haha that's a temporary font don't worry :>
I am planning to use Dejavu sans, I just don't know how yet <_<;

Posted by: Leyviur Aug 21 2008, 10:35 PM

I demand a demo.

Posted by: Raijinili Aug 22 2008, 12:48 AM

I demand cute.

Posted by: P.P.A. Aug 22 2008, 10:36 AM

I demand Graham.

Also is that background a placeholder ripped from somewhere or self-made? It looks great!

Posted by: Irysa Aug 22 2008, 10:57 AM

Lol, Tales of Eternia starting area background.

Posted by: Archeia Aug 22 2008, 11:20 AM

This game is taking in a bad turn I wish my scripter will learn how to program again -_-;

Posted by: Archeia Sep 11 2008, 04:53 AM

Updates~ TDS learned how to script again thank god, but we have to redo the whole system of VX for the riviera feel, which is hard! I want to learn how to program now, and I'm studying D: so far I can do is print XD

Posted by: Sigmund Sep 11 2008, 11:31 AM

Wha?

Red hair?

Posted by: Archeia Sep 11 2008, 11:33 AM

Hmm more like reddish brown, *goes back to palette swap*

Posted by: Sigmund Sep 11 2008, 11:39 AM

NO!

DON'T YOU DARE!

This isn't important, I was being a jerk :/

HURRY AND FINISH DAMN YOU!

Posted by: DustyHaru Sep 11 2008, 08:59 PM

Patience.

Or I go for the bolt cutters and hedge trimmers again.

Posted by: Archeia Sep 11 2008, 11:25 PM

As much as I'd like to finish this ASAP. Aya got sick so expect a 100 years of no demo x.x

Posted by: Sigmund Sep 12 2008, 04:15 AM

*cries in corner*


>:l

MAKE IT 50 YEARS AND WE'RE GOOD

Posted by: Knightman Sep 12 2008, 12:05 PM

I really wnat to see that....

Posted by: Archeia Sep 12 2008, 12:05 PM

As much as I'd want to I can't unless I can sprite like the speed of light and have aya draw as the speed of light, considering the amount of characters in the game it's tiring x.x

And have my scripter get to work XD

Posted by: CATGUN Sep 13 2008, 01:53 AM

Making a game is not an easy job even with the best program it will take not only time but the patience and..almost everything.At least Archeia still making it even though it will take a longer time.

Posted by: Archeia Sep 20 2008, 06:04 AM

Posted by: Raijinili Sep 20 2008, 09:43 AM

Perhaps put your images and such in a separate file so the player can change them.

Well, that would slow it down.

Posted by: Archeia Sep 20 2008, 10:19 AM

I...don't get it?

Posted by: CATGUN Sep 20 2008, 11:52 AM

Nice menu Archeia.I like the background of the menu.I wonder what Rai are trying to say?

Posted by: Enzd Sep 20 2008, 12:54 PM

Teehee, Cierra's looking pretty Einly.

(Yes, I know that's temporary.)

Posted by: Raijinili Sep 21 2008, 11:59 PM

I mean, if you put the images in a separate folder, people can add their own pics.

Posted by: Archeia Sep 22 2008, 05:25 AM

Why would I do that? O_O
This game is going to be encrypted anyway so it's going to be umm...useless.

Posted by: aerozero Sep 22 2008, 07:09 AM

To give players an option I guess, not that I really care myself since your friend's artwork is so awesome >_>

Posted by: Archeia Sep 22 2008, 10:21 AM

Games...give you the option to change....pictures? O_O

Posted by: CATGUN Sep 22 2008, 12:29 PM

Eh?This is a new one.

Posted by: Lucho Sep 22 2008, 02:39 PM

I'm ok with your friend's artwork.
Also, love that background.

Posted by: Archeia Sep 29 2008, 06:02 AM

compare?

Posted by: sinxzero Sep 29 2008, 06:56 AM

Second one looks like ein in battle stance right? Well all I can say is that I like the 2nd one better.BTW what's the status of the game?

Posted by: Archeia Sep 29 2008, 08:50 AM

Uh first sprite is map sprite and 2nd is battler O_o

Posted by: P.P.A. Sep 29 2008, 10:03 AM

Ein looks so... emo.

Posted by: Sigmund Sep 29 2008, 12:58 PM

no u

AND IT LOOKS AWESOME

Posted by: Raijinili Sep 29 2008, 02:07 PM

The hair's a bit too reddish.

Posted by: Yuka Sep 29 2008, 05:02 PM

I think the hair's a bit too purple.

Posted by: Knightman Sep 29 2008, 05:31 PM

yeah.... Reminds me of Ms.Accord from Puyo puyo fever 2

Posted by: Raijinili Sep 29 2008, 08:18 PM

Technically speaking, do they have to have the same palette?

Posted by: Archeia Sep 29 2008, 11:19 PM

They do.
The battler and the sprite, the reason is the map is a bit dark so if I made them too bright it might clash badly.

Posted by: DustyHaru Oct 3 2008, 12:06 AM

I think the feet in the first sprite are too...forward.
Makes him look like he's leaning back.

But that's just me.

Posted by: Lucho Oct 3 2008, 01:04 AM

Yes, I noticed that too.

Posted by: DustyHaru Oct 3 2008, 01:28 AM

It was bothering me too much.

I moved the feet over a bit.
btw, is that the color scheme you'll be using? I was thinking that he'd look more like the Rivera colors :|

EDIT:

I was bored. Lame sprite ripoff. when I was thinking sprites I was thinking more like that or the old 2D Tales games. but w/e.

Posted by: Archeia Oct 3 2008, 02:59 AM

Nah we're changing spriting style :D
I think you guys might like it bettar.

Posted by: Raijinili Oct 5 2008, 11:10 AM

I mean, the simple sprite could be very simple in color scheme, so that they're easily recognizable by color.

Posted by: Archeia Oct 25 2008, 01:10 AM

It's been a while, I'm still working on walking sprite of cyrus so we can have a tech demo soon, anyway, enjoy this for a while...
