Fate/Apophenia [Fanmade VN]

[Konojolras]

Ahhh this makes me glad. We haven't received much feedback so this is great. We're still struggling to fix a couple things like Gil's voice and the like but for now the best way to go about it is to put the BGM at around 50% for now.
We will most likely make patches in the future to polish lil' things like that.
We've started development on the common route and hope to release that way faster, we hope to release a full demo for that by June-July, and we'll finally get to show off our fancy(not) battle system hehe

Just got done going through the prologue. The voices are pretty good, the story is just beginning so I can't comment on that yet, and the visuals are surprisingly okay. The only question on my mind is who's the wolf boy, which will probably be answered when the full game is released.

After playing the rest of it, it wasn't just Gil's voice, I think the music in general is just too loud compared to the voices. I did turn it down and it was fine afterwards though.

[Konojolras]

Yeah, the music and sound effects are best at around 50% while keeping voices at max. Hopefully in the future we'll figure out how to make those the default settings.

Wolf boy is one of the development team's favourite character. Once you get to the "wolf" part, his identity becomes pretty obvious.



Have some more concept art of him

Check your LS account Kono, I left you a pm.

Hmm. Is he Lycaon the first werewolf of Greek mythology? Can't think of any other particularly well-known werewolf from ancient mythology off the top of my head.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if that subtle but distinct scar over his lip holds any clue to his identity.

You got it c;
The scar is the biggest giveaway

As soon as it starts getting real interesting, the demo ends.

Alright, fine, you got me. I'll follow this with more interest, now.

WIP shot of the new Saber sprite we're making for a visual update since we weren't satisfied with the old one

[SeiKeo]

Looks nice!

[IanxWaifu]

Reaallly reaalllyy liked this! A couple things would be nice to change though. Some of your characters dialogue keeps going but you have to click (or wait with auto on) for the second half of the words to appear. Also, you could try to make the Auto go a little quicker. Even at 100% I read it way too fast. Last thing is you typed "Contact" instead of "Contract" near the end. Keep up the great work!

[Frostyvale]

The new sprite looks excellent.

[Petrikow]

that must be a really big sai file

Why does she looks better than Takeuchi's.

I don't even...

[Konojolras]

The sai file is currently 65 MB and 130 layers, no biggie (We're all crying, this is only the base and one outfit. We haven't even started on the expressions yet.)

Here's a preview of Gil too. Yes. We actually drew a dick on him for no reason.

[Five_X]

For no reason, eh? :3

[deviatesfish]

The voice acting is nice enough to get parts.

The art however can do with some work, for the lineart stage, I think.

I wouldn't hire whoever did the UI/color arrangement, but that's just because living in a mobile phone era, we've become spoiled with simple yet luxurious UI.

I'm not a writer and I don't know anything about stories so I'm not going to comment on that part. It's good enough, I suppose.

All in all, this is damn nice stuff for a fanmade.

[Konojolras]

To all the people who have critiqued the prologue and given us comments on areas to improve: Thanks for the reviews!
Our lil team is completely amaterurish and when we begun this we had very little idea of what we were doing. we have learned a lot from this project and of course, we will continue to improve the art, UI and those pesky sound glitches and volumes.

Now that we've begun working on the common route, I've started working on new sprites (which I showed in some previous posts)
Here's a little timeline to show how much my art style/level has changed throughout this year.
We will hopefully re-release the prologue with new sprites and updated visual effects. Just not soon welp.

But looking at the sprites' change hrough thiss year is a little surprising even for me haha
