Nick and Kana in a bus

You heard her. She is Kana.

I'm only a dozen or so hours from being at demo-stage,

but it doesn't look like the demo will be ready by this year.
 

Prinn Set NVZ

This is Flonne's Disgaea-based original character, Prinn:

The commissioner gave permission for her to be used in games :)

Here is a novelty-compatible actor image set:

In order to use this sprite, the file must be extracted and copied into Novelty's Asset folder.
Here is a video on how to do so:

This video is available for viewing at sizes up to 1080p!

Don't forget to give Prinn a few hits in the gallery too!

Kana x 3, Oscar +1, Nick +1

Kana~chan 3 poses

Happy Kana is pretty cute.

Nick and Oscar, with two new expressions.

 I'm not super worried about Oscar 

since this will probably be the last scene he'll be in.

I'm still aiming for that 2010 demo release,
but I don't have any solid, day-by-day, plans.

Have a cutscene!

I've been trying to learn to use Novelty better.

you can now import Julia with three emotions on this thread:

There's a little problem with white lines appearing on Julia's alternative emotions.

And a cutscene!

...that can't yet be explained.

I know have to change Oscar's face a little. 

He looks strangely ugly.

The wonderful STEIG STEIN.

I was projecting to have a 10 minute demo out by the end of this month,
but between the game addictions and cold weather..
...Well, we'll see.

Julia, Oscar, Nick, and sprite recycling

Three new sprites today.

The character on the right (Oscar) is a simple recolor & new clothes of Peter.

Nick's body is also slightly recycled from a previous sprite.

Looking okay in game.

I'm not really nuts about where Oscar's looking. 

I had better fix him.. hmm.

Three Day Block

Ahhhhhh what is an indie gamer to do??

I have finally started to draw the next two sprites I need for the side-game.

It was supposed to only take 5 hours but it ended up taking 3 days, because I bought a new hard drive and reinstalled a new OS and blah blah blah.

(Also, every time I went to go draw it, I would end up chatting on IRC or playing a computer game instead. Whoops.)

But finally, I am getting started:

You gotta do what you gotta do.

And they are done!

OH YES, and in the game!

Looking all right.
I was worried about black-hoodie's hands,
but it doesn't look so weird since it's covered up by the text box.

Nick pondering & old man sprite

Two new sprites for the side-game tonight.

Gosh.. dA comment was right. Old man's eyes are big.

Those filler backgrounds go along very well.
