do you stare at the sun and ask are you the sun
I noticed people are already scrambling to make their own fan routes, particularly for Torahiko and I don’t blame you guys at all. But please let things settle down first and even then take a while to consider there’s an entire character there. I know it’s tempting to project your perfect husbando fantasies onto him but not giving him any conflict, flaws, or what have you will just flatten the character. I know he’s great, I like him too, but try to write him like an actual person. Make him a character people can empathize with.
I know it’s silly, but I can’t even bring myself to draw goodbye fanart for Morenatsu. It’s just a game, but it was a really charming game that brought me together with some great folk to talk to on Skype and eventually in person and inspired a lot of my work. The game had bad writing in places but ultimately it had a very raw, honest feeling that kept me liking it.
There are people scrambling to make their own fan routes and best of luck to them. I just ask if you do it, please consider the importance of empathy and catharsis that routes like Kouya and Shin’s routes had as your springboard.
I’ll look into organizing it. I’ve never done anything like that, but pretty much all the artists in the fandom know each other so it wouldn’t be too hard to pull everyone together.
We could make it an eBook to get around publishing costs. But yes I’d love to do an artbook organized in a way where each character gets a chapter
Inked this guy in. His name is Strudel and he is a robot husbando I designed to tease wireframetool . He’s filled with a special adjustable jelly substance in his softer parts and is built to be a comforting husbando. Because he is mass produced, they can be fully customized with different personalities and equipment for your ideal cutie! I encourage people to come up with their own variants as long as you link back to this blog with it~!
By the way, to clear this up so you all know, this blog is run by Shang ( shanghai-ohmy / shun-kodoris ), Odin ( htodinth ), and Zeny ( thefortressofscience / junkyardzeny ). Cheers!
Posting this here! We made a blog for general discussion, fanart, etc in case any of you here are interested. The game project might be dead, but we aren’t!
Morenatsu is officially canned. I can’t say I’m surprised but also I’m really sad because that little game brought me a lot of joy and inspired not only my art direction but also my desire to explore visual novels as a medium. I met some great friends through that game so it’s sad to see it go.
I’m still going to draw fanart of it and I’m working on a Shin/Kouno comic but damn this sucks. Isn’t today the first day of Summer Break in Japan? lmao what a cruel time to post it
What happened, man? o.o
Development difficulties, lack of time among staff, engine problems, etc. There were 3 routes left. :(
