Some Cast Colour Changes
Re: Some Cast Colour Changes
I agree with Peorth about the last four colours. I find the dark blue most fitting and pretty on her though. Looks really nice. ^^
Re: Some Cast Colour Changes
May sound a bit silly, but either do a dailogue where you can convince your love interest to dye her hair (I don't see that happening with someone like Hanako though). I'd suggest a way to just change the colour of the sprite to user's taste-either an unlockable thing, or just doable at options, if it's not too hard to do?

Unless there's some coding magic I'm not aware of, there is no way to change the girls' hair without making an entirely new sprite.Anon_101 wrote:I'd suggest a way to just change the colour of the sprite to user's taste-either an unlockable thing, or just doable at options, if it's not too hard to do?

It's a good thing that photoshop is better than magic.

Re: Some Cast Colour Changes
The only way I think of it would be to seperate Shizune and her hair into two images, and then tweak around with Ren'py s Hue or Alpha options for each image. However it would be a hella problem to work position coordinates for the two images to mend toguether (cause I don't belive blending 100% would be possible with this tech). So it's easier to create new sprites with photoshop just by changing the "hair" layer on the original image.TcDohl wrote:Unless there's some coding magic I'm not aware of, there is no way to change the girls' hair without making an entirely new sprite.Anon_101 wrote:I'd suggest a way to just change the colour of the sprite to user's taste-either an unlockable thing, or just doable at options, if it's not too hard to do?

Re: Some Cast Colour Changes
Honestly, I don't think the idea of making design specifics of the game user-definable is a good one to begin with. Why not do it with all the characters? Why not let the user supply the character names? The only message that this sends out is "we weren't able to decide", which I don't think is a good one for a creative project.

Agreed. I was just specifying how it COULD be made, not to say it SHOULD be madedelta wrote:Honestly, I don't think the idea of making design specifics of the game user-definable is a good one to begin with.

My pick goes for dark blue. Brown and drakbrown unfortenately tend for it to look more to the boyish side, and dark blue gives it a more steady feminine presence.. that in contrast with her personality of calm and organized person seems to suit her best. Nuff said.

Re: Some Cast Colour Changes
Customiseable characters sounds like a horrid idea to me, at least in this VN.
I'm sure that it would make the basis for a good game, however we've already got a lot going on, let alone making a buttload of code and such for a gimmick feature.
I think I've mentioned it before but I'm all for the Dark blue/black/teal. All of them appeal to me in some way/shape or form.
The short hair and the brown/blond just doesn't work.

Re: Some Cast Colour Changes
I agree with crud.
Even if the author is silenced, the performance is stopped, the story will not end.
Whether it's a comedy or a tragedy, if there is cheering, the story will continue on.
Just like the many lives.
For the us who are still in it and still in the journey, send warm blessings.

Re: Some Cast Colour Changes
I'm basically beating a dead horse, but hair color can't just be shopped around to become another color -- for example, for misha's hair, the base tone (mid tone) might be a Barbie pink, but the shadows a slightly blue maroon, the highlights ivory.* If you try to change that hair blue or purple or brown, the brown will just turn black, the highlights will just turn gray, and the hair will look very dull, as if it's in dire need of deep conditioning.
Just look at the bright lively colors in the original teal-haired Shizune(highlights are warm, shadows are cool) VS the darker blue one (hair is overall monotone and overall feeling is dull). In order to alter the colors effectively, there would need to be a different layer for each highlight, base tone, and shadow, and if that's the case, you're quite honestly better of repainting the hair altogether.
*we haven't decided on her colors to absolutely be this, but this is what I'm going by for now.
tl;dr: Hair is not monotone and hacked hair colors look dull so it's not worth it.

Re: Some Cast Colour Changes
As good as the input from others, this decision should be ultimately up to the artist (i.e. you). So what sayeth thee?skim wrote:*we haven't decided on her colors to absolutely be this, but this is what I'm going by for now.
