Another reason I'm seriously
considering working on a visual novel for Solar Echoes is because I
already have a lot of “graphical assets” from my work on the
video comic. Artist John Fell did a lot of great work for me, making
each of the aliens come to life with different expressions. I have
already talked with him about my visual novel idea, and he's excited
to work with me on it. I know that I'm going to need a few more
graphical assets designed for use in the project, but I feel with my
current “repertoire” of assets, I can already put together
something decent. I'll be aiming for better than decent, though, so
it's going to involve several months of artistic work on John's part
to create what I'll need. I'm also exploring options regarding
background art. As you'll see in a lot of visual novels, static
background art is a big part of setting up a scene, so I'm looking
into having locations designed instead of using the old method I
tried for the video comic. My video comic backgrounds did the job,
and I spent lots of time in Photoshop making them, but I'd like to
have actual artwork that matched the feel of the characters for my
visual novel project. John is considering it, though his specialty is
character design. We'll be toying around with ideas, and will see
where to go from there.
