Mira and Charlotte are objectively the two cutest/sexiest characters. Having both of them a romance for males wouldn't have been fair I think :wink:

In your face, Mizuki!!!

Personally, I like even Mizuki, but seems that in general everyone thought Mira/Charlotte were the two best ones :mrgreen:

I don't think they are comparable, because one is a NPC the other is a follower. The follower will have a lot more screen time than the NPC, you don't form a strong bond with a NPC like you can do with a follower and because of those the romance suffers too.

Just look at Mass Effect 3, the NPC romance lose a lot of character development (there is no banter, you dont spend a lot of time with them, no personal mission, etc...) and you can't go on missions with them where your romance matter, like the cassino on Citadel DLC.

For example how would a personal quest work? She will send you in a mission while she stay at the lab? To me personal missions serves for you to know the character better and develop a stronger bond, how you can do it without them?

This is not a RPG or visual novel - so while some characters comes with you in the missions, is not like you have 15000 lines of dialogues in them. You'll have 10-20 each mission AT BEST. This is not like my other games, is more gameplay (I am crazy enough to do a TD/VN hybrid but don't want to exaggerate!). Between missions you can talk with each character, so every one gets same treatment (Rigel, Lucius, etc). Also some NPC can also join in the missions even if they don't fight :wink:

Not trying to cause any discord here, but as far as character art goes, I actually prefer Mizuki's to Charlotte's. Interested to see Mizuki's intro. :)

...

And Mira's, for that matter.

Oooh, and Rigel's!

And what about Lucius'!? :P (Will Lucius have a second "outfit"/look, too? )

When you make something based on people's personal tastes, is inevitable that someone will always be unhappy no matter what I do, so I've learned to live with it. The alternative was to do only a story without any romance and focus on gameplay only like 99% of other indies do, but... wouldn't be a WW game then! :wink:

Good that Mizuki is getting some love too :)

So I assume the AlexxSamuel CG is the one still needed for the sneak preview? (Question based on a phantom comment I thought I saw earlier here :P )

Sorry for that. I tried not to be too spoilerish, and why I removed it. But yeah, the DianaXLucius CG is done, leaving the AlexXSamuel one.



I like the variety shown so far in the CGs, and hope others will like it when they get a chance to see them.
jack1974 Oct 03, 2014
CG quality and variety won't be a problem. I think is even better than some of my "actual dating sim" :lol:

Miakoda's suggestions were very helpful for that so when you see them you must thank her too :)

Thank you Miakoda! :mrgreen:

Yes many thanks to Miakoda!
Miakoda Oct 04, 2014
Well, I would hold off on the thanks until you see the CGs :)

sketch of a new character, Lola the war reporter.

SHE CAN'T BE ROMANCED...YET

For now she is just a secondary character. Depending how things go, might do DLC with possibility to romance her and other characters... :)

final colored result. There's also a "casual clothes" version which is... "interesting" :mrgreen:
Sylrissa Oct 16, 2014
I'll be remembering that key word 'yet' :p



Art looks great btw :)
canyonaz Oct 16, 2014
I love this picture. The only word I chose to read was "yet". 8)
jack1974 Oct 16, 2014
Tsk tsk why are you all focusing on a simple word like "yet"??? I don't understand... :mrgreen:

Jokes apart, I'm really pleased of the artwork. There's now another character, a rebel (an ancestor of Damien!). Curious to see how he will turn out too :)
