Hey hey! Sorry my reply is so slow, I've been ill since before Christmas, and only just starting to feel well enough to get back on my PC >.<
Thanks so much for playing the game :3 I'm glad you had fun with it :D Yup, wanting to add more yandere guys to the world is pretty much the reason I got into making vns in the first place, hehe x3 I was just gonna make 1 game, but I kinda got addicted along the way xD
Sadly, I am not the artist :( I can't draw to save my life, so any of the art you see in my projects is either the work of awesome artists that I've teamed up with, or art assets that I own (and have usually edited myself :3)
For this game, the sprite art came from asset packs by an artist called TOP. They sell highly customisable sets of characters, which is awesome! Basically, you buy a sprite body from them, and then it comes with a LOT of options. Like you can even create unique hairstyles because they provide separate strands of hair for you to combine! You can also edit colours, add details, and choose from a decent selection of clothing :3
I also used sprite assets from the same artist to create almost all of the sprites in my very first game (Solipsism Reigns) :D This is where they sell all their stuff if you want to check it out. (Just be warned that the site has some 18+ images on it too, haha.)
And the background art was by an artist called minikle, whose assets are very widely used by indie devs making vns since they are some of the most affordable, great-looking, and a fantastic selection of different locations :3
Thanks :3 I'm still not 100% but I'm getting there :3
To answer your first question, I'm trying to make a little something for this year's Yandere Jam with my friend LazyPolarBear who I've teamed up with before on other projects (she was lead artist for Limbo Line and also did a bunch of awesome art for the BxG version of Apartment No.9 :D) Buuuut, I haven't finished the writing for it yet, and with not having as much free time in February as I usually would cos of boring life stuff I have to take care of + with Feb being a fairly short month and us only just getting started on the idea a couple of days ago, we don't have a whole lot of time to make something (the jam submission deadline is March 1st!) So I'm not sure how it's going to turn out or how much of it we will manage to get done before the jam ends, but all we can do is try our best :3
Aside from that, I'll probably try to participate in Spooktober VN Jam again this year in September since it's my favourite jam, so if I can manage it, that'll be another short one out at the start of October. Trouble is, my mood and motivation fluctuate so much that it's hard to tell if I'll feel up to it when it comes around >.<
I'll also be working away on my larger projects (DD and CiQ) + hoping to release another volume of Yandere Heaven too this year if I can + hopefully updating the Masked Marionette stuff too!
And to answer your second question, that would be so cool if you end up drawing fanart! I can't even tell you how excited I get whenever I see anything like that x3 It's just so cool! You're welcome to send anything like that either via email: melancholicmarionette@gmail.com oooor, you can use Twitter if you prefer! There you can either dm me, or you can @ me in a tweet and if it's okay with you, I can retweet it :3
