2/2
We had only a key-shaped body and a single eye to work with.
So we turned to classic Disney techniques and rewatched Beauty and the Beast for inspiration.
It turns out that even one eye and a little movement can say far more than it seems

Sharing our visual novel progress | Day 13

1/2
With the arrival of our new character, Oko, we faced a rather interesting challenge: how do you convey emotion in a character who has none of the usual gestures or facial expressions? 👁️

the kinda stuff i be doing for reference photos #art #vndev #SpooktoberVNJam

Cleaned sketch of the Hazard Crew characters (in-development). The main character, Ash, is in the center wearing a dust mask and holding a phone in one hand and sponge on the other. Luca, Robin, and Michael appear as chibis. Luca is sitting on Ash's phone, Robin is pondering on the sponge, and Michael is running along the bottom of the frame with a delivery box while looking up at Ash

Screenshot of a recording I took to get a good reference of how to draw Ash's hands holding the items

I think this is one of the funnier lines so far. #spooktober #spooktoberjam #spooktobervnjam #writing #renpy #gamedev

A screenshot of some Ren'Py code showing a section of script. "Hammer it into that puny little brain of yours already!" "End the show with 3 characters DEAD. D.E.A.D." "Like your dreams, (small pause) or my tolerance for this conversation.

Variable "annoy" is incremented by 1.

I just designed the itch.io thumbnail for my upcoming #SpooktoberVNJam entry: "Locked Out". I thought it would be cool to make it look like a DS Game cover, so I did. Enjoy!

Basil a possum person, Skye a bird person, and Terry a shark person all hide behind Fawners a deer person. They stand in front of a dark school building. A white bar with the words "Made with Renpy" runs along the left side. The title "Locked Out" is above Fawners head, and there are some stencil leaves and lines in the corner.
