Visual Novel Update: 11/20/21

Image
  Well, here's something for you. Sort of. I mean, it's not really anything, actually, but it's something. Sort of. Anyway... Work on VerticalQuest has slowed a little bit. I'm obviously still working on it, but I'm shifting a bit to a NEW Visual Novel that I'm hoping I can get out much sooner. I spent all day plugging away at it and... it's coming along. It's a lot more simple, with basically - like - three endings or so. Basically designed to be played through in its entirety each time, instead of played in installments. It's a story that definitely COULD have been a comic, but I felt was a little too complicated and had a few too many options and possible outcomes. I think Kanako (the female lead, pictured above) might be the prettiest girl I've designed, honestly. And I'm speaking objectively, of course. You're free to like whoever you like and - honestly - she's a little vanilla for my tastes, but... she is just REALLY pretty. Li...

Short: Emily and Kaysen

Most of the time not, but SOMETIMES I do. And right now is such a time. As far as I know there's no porn of Emily Wyatt on the internet. Or should I say there WAS no porn of her. This morning, that all changed. For those of you who don't know, Emily Wyatt is the female lead of the cult classic survival horror game Deadly Premonition. One part Silent Hill, one part Resident Evil, a plagiaristic-number of parts Twin Peaks and one part completely incompetent, Deadly Premonition is a game that managed to be so bad it was good. It's kind of like the Troll 2 of games, in that respect, though technically far better. And there aren't many games out there that are like that. Video games almost CAN'T be so bad they're good, since you can...

(Not so Short) Short: Gwen and Ezekiel

So this was fun. This probably marks the end of the goth girls for a little while. I've only got one other from cartoons I used to watch who I could make and she's more 'punk' than 'goth' anyway. She's also from a much more obscure show. At least... I think. I think Gwen turned out alright. It could obviously be better, but I think it's recognizable as her and that's what matters. Then again, you could put that hair and outfit on a bear and it'd be recognizable, so maybe that doesn't mean anything. Picking her partner was kind of difficult, and a definite stumbling block for a while. There weren't really any guys on the show that sprang ...

Tomo and the Train Molester

Full Story:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DxqxC6aUB69uMIeWNyYfjAcouGGvKbDp/view?usp=sharing I can't believe how late this STORY ran. But it's finally complete. 200+ pages, but it's finished. Half of it's talking, which isn't great, but what can you do? I realize it's weird to have a story based on a Chikan event where there's no actual Chikan, but... I dunno. That's how it goes sometimes. Though it DOES give me an idea for a FUTURE story that could be really good.  Anyway, like I said, I might do Misuzu/Misaki/Ferris in the future, I might do another Tomo. Probably won't do Carol, since she's kind of... not my type. Weird, since she used to be my favorite, but something about her's a bit too 'cloying' for me. She feels kind of Barbie-ish, and not in a good way. Not that she's not cute, she's just probably not gonna get her own story. AND BY MISAKI I MEAN GUNDOU'S MOM, NOT MISAKI AS IN CAROL'S LOVE INTEREST. Weird t...

Ogawa and the Old Man

Ogawa's somehow both cute and hot, which I think really works in this case. I also liked her boss. I think he's a good foil, being a creep who kind of worships Ogawa while also wanting to do terrible things to her.  Again, this is just before I figured out lighting and screen effects so it all looks kind of harsh, but I don't think it detracts too much from the story. Risa was the point where I finally figured all that stuff out which is why - in my opinion - it actually looks alright. I plan on doing a follow-up story in the future, following a new hire at the branch. It's loosely inspired by an Arakure doujin that follows roughly similar progressi...

Hikariko and the Old Man

Exciting. I really like Hikariko's design. It's obviously very cutesy, but I think that can be fun once in a while. Also writing for a ditzy airhead is fun. Nitoru is the bad guy again and you'll notice Hikariko got his name wrong and called him Nitori. That was definitely, totally, 100% intentional and not a fuck up on my part. SHE got his name wrong. Probably my weakest story so far, in my opinion. It's just sort of... there. I dunno. It's not one I've come back to since, nor have I considered remaking it or making a follow-up. There's room, though. There's always room. Hikariko attends the same school as Mai. She's not great at academics, but pretty alright at sports and has a pretty big following on social media. At least, for a high sc...

Mai and the Old Man

Oh well.  So this was my first comic, and it was really fucking basic. Stagnant lighting, basic ass colors, stiff poses, etc., etc.. That being said, I still think there's something sort of 'pure' about it in a weird way. Probably just because it embodies all the shit I'm into in the most basic way.  I will undoubtedly do a remaster of this in the future and get better lighting/color, more pages and better choreography overall. I'm looking forward to doing that since I still like these two together and want to do a bit better job of pairing them up. Anyway, Nitoru is the janitor at Mai's school and followed her to the train station. When she ducked into a bathroom he saw an opportunity and seized it. Mai is your standard pretty, popular girl. Good grades, good at sports, fashionable, beautiful, nice to people, etc. Gen...
