OLD Character Designs

The first character artist for our project, Zaphryon completed thirteen character design sheets and fourteen special illustrations... and then quit without warning in April of 2021. So as not to have wildly incompatible art styles, we are replacing all of the Zaphryon art assets. However, as we spent a full year and multiple order iterations refining the specifics of each cosplay design, outfit, hairstyle, and general character appearances, Zaphryon's work remains with the project as concept references for the artist who will replace him.

Replacement Audition Designs

Three months after Zaphryon's departure, I was able to hire a small selection of artists to do test work for us. Each of their works was then voted on by patrons for hiring the respective artist on as our replacement character artist. Test designs were judged on aesthetic, quality, completion time, price, and compatibility with the project.

Wow, very awesome! Congrats on the future of expanding ACH to the world of the VN.

Kimu Taka

Lol, well Tekko getting canceled may only be a temporary setback. They're still hoping to do it in the last weekend of June. So, if you can make it then, hopefully we can catch you then! ...unless they cancel again. oh, question: is the con center in the VN based around the Tekko center?

Everything card sleeves!

This sounds excellent. One thing that would be interesting (if technically challenging) would be to allow playing through it with multiple characters, so you could see different sides of events.

Tosk

Sounds incredible. I'm very excited. Will this be a kinetic novel or will there be branching paths?

I think this is an excellent idea. Keep up the good work.

Probably kinetic to start off with for the Alpha, want to make sure we have the basic assets for that at least by June. I'm in love with the idea of branching paths, but also if I don't put some sort of hard limits on what I do with that it'll quickly turn into a rabbit hole of endless rabbit holes, lol.

Hoping to have the Alpha version follow the character POVs just like the fiction does for starters. After we have that going okay then we'll see about everything else, lol.

AnimeCon's always been based off of my con experiences, so it'll be a bit like the Orange County Convention Center, a bit like the David Lawrence, and a bit like the Los Angeles expo center, those are all the big venues I've been to cons at.

Kimu Taka

Understandable. In my head it looks like the Gaylord National (Katsu), Baltimare Convention Center (Otakon before 2017), or Rosemont Convention Center (Acen). I expect most people's personal con experiences color the vision in their head. With this, you can really help people get that full feel and idea of what it looks like.

I really love the idea. Can’t wait ! And so that was what you were up too :-) I was wondering if everything was ok as you didn’t post for some time... My very first convention .... :-)) you are making one of my dream come true

Kimu Taka

I could totally see a branching version with fail paths all over: from Steph not getting the Truth or Dare game right, to Kelly turning down Brian's offer to move in, to Emily never finding the room.

FortySixtyFour

When players complain about the difficulty, I'll link them to the AnimeCon Harem fic and call it a walkthrough, lol.

Tosk

But will there be valid paths or will it be a game with one success and everything else is a failure? Multiple endings (good and bad) with one true ending versus one good ending with everything else being a bad ending.

FortySixtyFour

I imagine at first all of the bad ends will just be an image of security escorting Brian out of the convention for players selecting a turbocreep option. Definitely want to have different paths for the specific girls, and then the harem end will more or less play out like the fiction does.
