Thank you so much for the kind feedback! :)
Future versions will have a bunch of updates including music & accessibility options, however we're planning to stick with the black & white for character sprites to keep on with the 1930/40s film aesthetic
Each character has their highlight colour, e.g. Cari's purple, Max's green) but at least for this game we're planning to stick with that plan.
It is tempting to put together coloured versions for future projects though, something to think about.
Well, either way it does have a rather unique aesthetic style.
Something that i have yet to see on any other furry VN. And, honestly. It's rather grand.
I'm not one to usually appreciate VN's let alone comment on them, but this one was compelling. Something new, something nice. I adore creators such as yourself. You add some shine to my game style. So, thanks. I appreciate this.
As well as my previous question. About the characters and if they'll be coloured. It Would be pleasant to see. But i completely wont mind if it's preferred in the 40/30's style by you and your team. Anyways, thanks for the hasty reply and once more. Stay safe and good work.
Oh, also. I forgot to mention that both the art and art style in this game is exceptional.
Absolutely astonishing in my opinion, perfectly matching with me previous comment where i mentioned the unique style of this game.
You made this game intuitively different from the others, the game's not full of bubbly vibrant colours and smiles. It has a somewhat realistic, mature prospective.
But at the same time, there's the endearing characters. such as Maxora, so sweet with an enchanting appearance. Makes it crisp and fresh. 10 times more immersive.
And that's all i have to say, Or for a matter fact. That's all i have to say for now~
I really appreciate that, and I'll pass it on to the character artist
We're going to be digging a lot deeper into that art style in the full game, including a more cohesive background style (at the moment it's a collection of location photos I've taken plus a bit of google images then passing them through filters to get the right feel), but I really feel like we have something special going with the character art. And for that I 100% thank the artist ( @LluisAbadias on twitter) who somehow gave me exactly what we needed after a single play of the demo I had running.
Getting the right feel to me was important, especially with the tone. As a few people have said "I came for the art, and stayed for the story", and that's what we're trying to do right. There's a balance you need to strike between mature & jaded (or monstrously sarcastic in my way of thinking) and I hope we're getting that right.
Indeed you are, "hitting the nail right on the head".
Some would say, and although I'm not too greatly fond of lines such as that, I'd describe it more as. Faultless...
So, in all honesty i contemplate whether anybody, that has played this. Now or in the near future, will be turned away, disappointed.
I highly doubt, that such event would happen. Mostly because. When i first came here, it was out of mere curiosity. This game piqued my interest so i decided to give it a try, honestly not expecting a great deal of.....anything really (to no disrespect)
Yet, here i am rather pleasantly surprised, It seems you're reasonably headed, as well as undoubtedly kind and polite,
The art style did more than catch my eye and the script it well written.
Furthermore, there's a wide range of professional vocabulary and punctuation. Quite a lot of other VN's (not to be harsh or hurtful) have a rather poor choice of vocabulary and their punctuation is all over the place.
In addition to all of that, it's just principally congenial to play.
So, yes. I'm quite aware that i do seem to write an excessive amount every time for something as simple as a reply. But, what can i say. This, this is fine art. This is what i want to see. So, thank you. (P.s, 5 Stars, well deserved)
