If you're unfamiliar with visual novel
games, another aspect of this style of game is the CG, which stands
for Computer Graphic. It is a still scene, usually of a memorable
moment in the game or an action scene, that is given special artistic
treatment because of the impact of that moment. I've had the pleasure
of working with the fantastic CG artist known as Aeghite. Her sense
of framing, angles, lighting, and color have really impressed me, and
her work captures some of the best moments in the visual novel.
Typically in a game like this, CG's are “unlocked” as you go
through the story, added to an art gallery that you can enjoy later.
Depending on your choices throughout the game, there are some CG's
you might miss, so it's always a good idea to save your game and
consider replaying the game again once you've been through it, just
so you can experience some of the alternate story paths and unlock
all the CG's. Most of the CG's are story spoilers, so I won't be
showing much, but here is a sample showing the progression of
Aeghite's line-work into full color for a scene that involves some
very dangerous-looking Krissethi!
