Do you have to draw a villain, or can you just write out a physical description? Cause I'm terrible at drawing.

#5 by aisza_1995 - Jun 27 2011

(writting as a co-worker)
The description should be fine, through if you included a sketch it will be more likely that your villan will be choosen ^ ^
Well... maybe you'll try to draw it as well as writte and send it anyway ;3

thanxs Aisza,

Sorry about not replying FantasyFan, I had a exam and then prom and the i've been on holiday

Aisza is correct though, if you want to write a description you can, or draw a sketch. What ever you feel comfortable doing.

#7 by ShiverGirl - Jul 21 2011

I haven't seen the movie, but I would like to see it after the game. The game sounds good.

#8 by aisza_1995 - Jul 23 2011

Just an little update if someone care >.<
We all bussy now. Nelly's looking for a job, ur artist (oh, how I hate myslef for not remembering names) is bussy with her work and I have very little time on computer (also looking for a job, but besides preparing for my 6th form years)
But do not fear! We still work, it just takes longer.
If things go well, we should soon have a demo for you to play and see if you would be interested in the full version.
Thank you very much for the attention ^ ^

#9 by nelly247 - Aug 19 2011

Things will be going a bit slow right now, I can't get a job :S so I will be back getting things sorted, however I am also getting ready for college so it maybe a little more slower than we expected. With the lack of art being produced right now we can't release a demo like previously planned.

If things don't get sorted we may have to put the game on hold until we find a new artist. Since we have progressed so far in the script it would be a waste not to finish the game. Let's all hope it works out in the end.

#10 by aisza_1995 - Aug 22 2011

Ok we have the artist (me) and that's why we added the pics
So we should actually have the demo sooner than we expected after we lost touch with Sara

#11 by nelly247 - Apr 10 2012

So it's been a while. But we are back. New art is up and new name for the game.

With this gamin being a lot of work for two people, we are currently searching for a new artist so, we may have new brand new art in the near future and possibly a demo out in the summer.

Wish us luck!

#12 by nelly247 - Jul 22 2013

It's been a long time, but I have come with a very important question to fans who have been waiting.

Which art style do you prefer?

Version 1:




Or Version 2:


Please please please comment so we can make this game for everyone to enjoy.

#13 by Franka - Jul 23 2013

I'm not a fan, and I have not been waiting, but I'd like to say that version 2 has a lot more personality than version 1.

#14 by nelly247 - Jul 23 2013

Thank you for commenting and helping with our decision on the art.

#15 by Karlminion - Jul 23 2013

Version 1 is softer and looks easier to draw, but Version 2 seems like it could be livelier and more engaging in the long term, also it has less of the slanty-eyed anime aesthetic that I personally dislike. So I suggest V2. <3

#16 by nelly247 - Jul 24 2013

Thank you Karlminion, I'm glad to be getting feedback and I think my artist will be happy that her new style of art is getting the thumbs up from everyone.

Also a small update on the game for anyone who is waiting for it to come out:

If all the character art is done by the end of August I shall release a short demo for you all to test and tell me what you like and don't like.

Scattered Starlight Update

#17 by nelly247 - Jul 30 2013

when the main characters are done I will post some scene for you to see and then hopefully I'll be able to get a short demo out but currently can't get music working >__<

The link is dead now, by the way. Also, Howl and Sophie? I could be wrong, but don't you need some sort of authorization for that?
