Hi, I have spent last few days putting together pictures for Sakura, Hinata and Tenten, I will upload them today – I tried my best to ensure they have all of these quest and emotional categories, and these dating ones when it was possible. All of these pictures have variants in, like in “full” pack – I perfectly understand these are not needed now, but I did it for myself as a reference to see what can be found and test where is good to have diversity, and where it’s just confusing - I plan to update them through development according to categories we add or discard.
My option about girl images:
While I think it’s really nice to have specialized picture category for all events (shopping...), you shouldn’t really expect these to be present – while it’s not usually a problem for popular characters, people will always request/make less know ones too, and my experience from previous games is that sometimes it’s a problem to even get a set of decent profile pictures.
Happy/sad pictures shouldn’t be used in main screens according to girl happiness. These are usually of somewhat less quality then “normal” ones and just imagine it, if you are a good manager (not hard in these type of games), all these smiling faces = really creepy :-)
date – there’s a usually a lot of pictures with girl going out, cuddling and have fun with a guy from all of these fanfiction pairings. But that’s it, there’s a GUY in it. I can’t help it, but it doesn’t feel right to me... you know, it’s hard to imagine that this Naruto here is supposed to be you. Ideal would be pictures with only girl looking like she is with someone or where guy can’t be easily seen or recognized, but these are much harder to find... what are your options about it?
profile / profileneutral – still unsure about these, because while there are profile pictures that are not good for neutral emotion, all of neutral pictures are usually applicable for profile
costume - quite common there is a nice picture of girl cosplaying or just wearing something really different from her standard outfit or maybe with change of hairstyle/hair color, that makes her too unrecognizable for it to be used as standard profile (maybe it can be, but it just doesn’t fit in there that smoothly) - but these are really fun so I would love to have them as a category used somewhere
---------------------
ok, that should be all for girl pictures for now. I would like to start working on events now. What should I do?
I’m most interested in writing unique events for chosen girls. For some of characters I like, I have ideas for introduction events, explaining why they are not opposed to work for you, maybe some sort of mini-quest or just few little scenes, probably in visual novel style that happen when you visit a location in city... I’m a fan of these.
Also some interaction between those girls, if you have them working for you. And I sometimes came around a picture that inspires me to imagine some sort of situation... I would like to write some of these too.
But I’m not sure if that’s a good thing to do because you have planned interaction system like simbro1x version, when you go somewhere and see a list of present girls that you can speak with. I think that’s great for generic use and little alterations I not sure if it’s compatible with that I’m imagining.
And it still would only add a girl, even if with events, so it would be probably only a “scripted girlpack“, one-time events that doesn’t add much into game.
In the way I see it, at this stage it would be more beneficial to make some generic day-to-day brothel events, those that would use emotion pictures and not target specific girl.
But I don’t have that many ideas there, and they also seems harder to code. But I can try too.
Awaiting your command sire!
