Category: The Couple

Alpha 2. Images for all “first” days are done, for the “Fun”-Path day two is likewise done. As with the last version, I did not disable playing further – most of the prologue is done text wise. Although the last days I started a “soft-dom” path, a split of from the “hard-dom” path. This one…

I asked ChatGPT to do a summary of the current written content of “The Couple”. I think it captures quite well the current state, you can read it: Summary ChatGPT (Warning! Spoilers inside) I have – again – reorganized the code.Each scene of chapter one is now in a separate subroutine. This way I might…

I just passed the threshold of one thousand images. Yea – I guess it would be more impressive if the threshold had been ‘finishing the prologue’ – but that one still stands and is some time away. After finishing “Ani and Ina have Fun” day two – I continued with the other first days. One…

I did not have much time in the last month. I only came around to finish about 100 images. They all continue the scene with Ani and Julia. Some samples: I sorted all my sources and texts and added most to github – but with private settings. Currently I have no access to my “render”…

Producing images is a slow… and trying process… even though often the outcome compensates for the time spent. I never really liked or appreciated it, when I read in other VN blogs or updates “I have done xxx renders”. But it is so TEMPTING to use the number of renders as a measurement… especially since…

Two weeks of holidays gone by… now started creating new images for day two:

Below you find a first “playable” version of “The Couple”. The text is more or less complete – although not really proofread.Graphics are only available for the first day – and only for one path.To follow that specific path you need three choices: Note:Some dialog lines of Ina seem very stiff – that is the…

I have been changing the ingame GUI to be less annoying and ‘being in the way’. I completely removed the background of the “say” window – and all buttons have been reduced to the bare minimum. The buttons are now very small – and only show symbols and are also displayed in an inconspicuous color…

I have written probably 98% of the “Prologue” – all together a little more then 100,000 words. The decision tree expanded a bit: As you can see, nearly all decisions take place during the first day, the rest is story telling only. Each color represents one path to take. The player can decide between 5…

(Working title) I keep writing and writing… and keep postponing DAZ. The image you see above is somewhat like the current “scene/decision tree” for the prologue. Seven days and a handful of decisions – as of now about 50,000 words. I estimate that I will need about roughly at least a thousand images – to…

I am contemplating on writing a Visual Novel myself. Actually out of the blue I started to write down some ideas… and started sort of a prologue. The prologue – as it seems now – will not have much to do with the story itself. Two of the main characters (male / female) will meet…
