First CG of the new insect boss
About a year ago, when I was in the planning stages for PPG, one of the things I knew would give me trouble would be to decide on a art style for the CG's of the game.
I knew I wanted to make a game with simple graphics and with the aesthetic of 8-bit/16-bit games, but what I really needed to figure out was how to combine my limited skills with a decent enough art.
What I was able to come up with was very simple line art, in a way that I would be able to fix and transform in paint.net at will, flat colors and simple shading to reduce complexity/work time and simplistic backgrounds.
I was satisfied with the end result. But my art is still amateur level, and this type of art style is not the most popular with people. The truth is that when it comes to erotic games, art wins over gameplay 90% of the time.
For my next project I'm already considering a different style, perhaps more similar to the usual 2d digital art. Of course, I'll have to also improve my skills while doing so. Then again, I could also improve on this specific style that I already developed, with better lines and so on. We'll see. The fun part of this creative process really is deciding on how best to portray your creativity while being conscious of your own limitations.
That said, the CG's for the add-on are in the same style for consistency. And it's not like I'll simply abandon this particular style either. Maybe in a future project it may fit, and I'll try to keep improving it.

新しい昆虫のボスの最初のCG
約1年前、私がPPGの計画段階に入っていたとき、私が知っていたことの一つは、ゲームのCGのアートスタイルを決めることです。
私は、シンプルなグラフィックスと8ビット/ 16ビットゲームの美しさでゲームを作りたいと思っていました。 問題は、限られたスキルとまともなアートを組み合わせる方法でした。
私は最終結果に満足していました。 しかし私の芸術はまだアマチュアレベルであり、このタイプの芸術スタイルは人々にとって最も人気がありません。 真実は、エロティックなゲームになると、ほとんどの人が良いゲームよりも良い芸術を好むということです。
私の次のプロジェクトでは、別のスタイルを考えています。おそらく通常の2Dデジタルアートにもっと似ています。 もちろん、その間に自分のスキルを向上させる必要があります。 私はまた、私がすでに開発したこの特定のスタイルを、より良い線などで改良することもできます。 我々は見るでしょう。 この創造的なプロセスの楽しい部分は、自分の限界を意識しながら創造性を表現する最善の方法を決定することです。
つまり、アドオンのCGは同じスタイルで一貫性があります。 そして、私はこの特定のスタイルを単に放棄するようなものではありません。 多分将来のプロジェクトでそれが合うかもしれないし、私はそれを改善し続けるつもりです。
I think for this style of game, this style of art looks pretty good! Then again, when it comes to ero-games like this, I'm usually not super interested in static CG to begin with, I have a heavy preference for games with sprite/pixel animations. So whereas a game like, say, Monster Girl Quest is certainly fun, I'll always prefer games like Demon's Sperm because it has actual animation. And on that topic, your pixel animations are really nice, especially considering this was your first attempt! I'm really excited to see where you take things from here!
ReplyDeleteI'm certainly hoping you maintain sprites and animations in your next project, whatever it may be, especially in the case of vore scenes. Vore is one of my biggest kinks (though I know I'm in the minority), and it's really, really nice to see vore animations in a game that follow all the way through to the actual digestion. Most games just stop once the girl is inside the person/monster, so it's always great to see animations or CG take the next step~
Thanks for the support! Sprite animations will always remain the focus of my games, you can rest assured about that!

ReplyDeleteしかし、シンプルな絵でも同じくらいの心はこもっているはずです
難しい事は言えませんが
"こんなエロい絵を描きたくて描いたんだ！"という気持ちはあなたの絵から伝わってきます！
上の絵の続きを楽しみにしてますよ！
親切な言葉をありがとう！
Delete新しい昆虫のボスに取り組むのは楽しいことでした
私はあなたがそれを楽しむことができることを願っています！
Would you consider hiring artists to do CGs instead?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is something I'm considering and will depend on how I want to approach game dev going forward.
