The characters in the Star Legation
visual novel will visit 6 or 7 different alien planets, and I still
needed at least 3 pieces of art for each location (planet as seen
from space, planet surface, and the alien leader's room.) However,
since the story does not involve extended time on the alien planets
(in most cases...depending on your choices!), probably 50% of your
time will be spent aboard your own starship. There are several
different rooms you'll visit on your starship, but a lot of your time
will be spent on the bridge, interacting with your crew and having
different encounters in space, which you'll see through the window of
your starship. The starship itself is a setting that keeps the focus
on a very character-driven story, and thankfully, it serves as a plot
device that allows me to make this epic adventure possible, without
the budget for the project becoming overblown.
