AHAHAHAHAHA It is complete! We got there! Finally, the sprites are all done! Even though it felt as if some omnipotent force tried to do everything it could to prevent that. So now that we’re done, it’s time to brag :D! And the best way to do it is by showing how much I made myself suffer over the past months (images blurred to prevent spoilers): Individual sprites (unique poses or outfits) Sprite variations (expressions, added items, etc) And for…
I’ll freely admit this post is written with only one thing in mind: the arguments people sometimes use when defending using lower resolutions for their visual novels. Often, those are based on either inaccurate observations or misunderstood information. I want to point out some of the more common ‘myths’ and discuss why they aren’t true. 1. Downscaling is destructive. This theory states that downscaling for whatever reason is incredibly destructive. By putting out a low resolution of…

This is a topic which will undoubtedly cross the mind of many visual novel creators and perhaps even a few readers too – the type of main character (MC). While some MC’s have a bit of both, in general you can classify them into the following two categories: personality-based MC (the character has a defined personality) self-insert MC (the character lacks a personality and is a stand-in for the reader) Depending on the type of MC, visuals, narrative and choices…
It’s convention-time! This weekend, you can find me and Kiki in the dealerroom at Animecon 2013 (Netherlands)! We’re totally hyped, we would love to see you all again and we booked a hotel for the first time ever. That last one means you won’t be looking at corpses on the last day (goodbye camping out~). We sadly don’t have anything new to show due to our visual novel works, but we bring along our usual goods. Visit us for works…

What, an update!? Why yes, we’ve been busy. In fact, we’ve been so busy we couldn’t even update this blog, for there wasn’t any time to write a post. To summarize: we’re insane workaholics and spent the last 1,5 month producing two free VNs for you. Let’s take a look! Days of the Divine What it is A fantasy otome made for NaNoRenO (make an entire visual novel in March). Click here to visit the Lemmasoft page. Synopsis Long ago,…
We are now halfway through the required music for Locus Magici, and so I present you a new unlocked achievement: If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element It’s our saddest song, for the delicious drama– unfortunate events in the story :)! Oh, what perils await you? *mysterious smile* Other than that, me and Kiki have been doing what we were doing before; drawing sprites and scripting more. It’s a lot of work,…
We’re still alive somehow! We have the bad habit to work ourselves into the most impossible deadlines. At least we’ve always succeeded thus far, so that’s something? Anyway, this post will nicely summarise what we did, what we are doing right now, and what we will do in the near future. So first, in January we did two things: Finally opening a Work-In-Progress topic for Locus Magici on the Lemmasoft forums. Finishing the full-colour manga one-shot we talked about in…
