I would like to try teamwork for my comic book projects.
You can find story images here: https://quarkyifu.itch.io/project-x-team This is a zipped folder containing images (in story chronological order) that when read sequentially tell a story, like a comic book with no text. (166 images 1280X720) ~ 20 MB)
I can already make popular projects. I want to do it faster. I've made lots of popular visual novels and I can do it, but it takes a long time produce finished projects that way. I want to try Comic Books. I think it would be easy to dominate the comic book section of itch.io with a good writer since it doesn't have very much good content the way it is now.
I can go faster If I had a writer that I can work with. I already am a good writer. I anyways 'splain more gooder than what everyone else am.
Let me explain how I write like to write stories so you can decide if you want to work with me. My story structure typically has these goals.
The story must draw the reader in and make them like where they are when I draw them in. I want the story environment I'm building to be positive with the characters all in good situations to begin with.
Some of my Ideas:
Limit story to only 3 characters to reduce complexity.
Pick a main character and stay hard on that one character with interesting "Train of thought" Dialogue trying to evoke emotion as often as possible without getting too dark. Keep character overall balance (Situation) positive.
I like to focus more on "slice of life" and "Twist of fate" or "Teamwork Success" type dialogue instead of conflict. Maybe some conflict might be a good Idea. I dunno. I don't like conflict and I'm not very good at writing anything conflict heavy.
A typical conflict oriented story has a bad guy and the first part of the story makes you hate the bad guy so everyone feels good when he is painfully destroyed in the climax. I don't like this type of story. If there is a bad guy in the story he has to believe in his cause and have good reasons for doing what he's doing. I like stories where the bad guy turns out to be the good guy or at least helpful in the end but it's hard to write this type of story and it takes too long so I think we should avoid a lot of conflict and keep it light if we can.
The idea I have for this project is keep it simple and make it interesting but reduce complexity to speed up production. For example:
The two supporting characters could be one dominate and one submissive and develop romance that involves the main character. Maybe they often tell amusing stories to get some comedy in there.
I like scenes that get the highly valuable "Evoke Emotion" effect without the negative story cost. For example: "Oh my god! They all might be dead *Sniff* Oh look they're ok after all". Mix that with comedy to complete the emotional balance. (Sad, Oh it's OK, Happy/laugh.)
I like to focus HARD on the main character. Establish a logical personality that is curious, open to ideas and exploration. Characters have goal oriented behavior. The main character (once chosen) will have a lot of solo scenes doing random things for internal dialogue. This offers the opportunity to develop the character and evoke emotion in the process. Evoke emotion is important. I try to find ("Story cheap" (In terms of complexity)) ways to evoke emotion.
I like being informative in stories in a "That's interesting, I didn't know that" kind of way. For example:
We all start off as female in the womb and testosterone turns your clit into a penis and your ovaries into testicles if you're male and if you're female It turns the reasoning and rationality parts of your brain into boobs. (Informative and funny)
I like the idea of letting the images alone dominate the erotic scenes and avoid trying to describe how the encounter feels. It seems like that never goes well into the story.
One of the main ways to evoke emotion is with music. I am getting good doing this and I prefer visual novels but comic books are much faster and easier to make than visual novels that use music and sound effects. If we had someone that knows how to use a visual novel engine like Tyranobulider or ren'py that would be great but I'm thinking we should start with comic books.
I'm thinking short, moderately interesting quickly produced stuff. Maybe a continuing series of short issues.
I would like to work up to being able to do one a week. These things don't usually make money but I'll appropriately split any revenue. If things go well with the comic book maybe we'll go from there and make other projects.
