Twice The Cheer

Merry Christmas, from us, to you

The Transversion team made a post about a week back, and apparently that post just brought up even more questions, and the questions were good enough to get me to step out of the Peru queue for a minute to answer them.

The first thing on the agenda is what a modular spritebase means. It's really just a fancy way of saying naked, faceless sprites that can have clothing and expressions drawn over them. It lets our artists easily adapt new clothing and a plethora of facial expressions for one pose. Apparently it makes this whole art business easier.

Do I really need a reason to post Jennifer's breasts these days?

The second thing I'll be tackling is the question of our writing. Mostly numbers, routes, that kind of thing. As of this very second the total word count of the common route is 51408 words, barring the ones in Romanian and Russian. That's with Nikhila's day 4 scene about half finished and no work done on the NoGirl route as of yet, so it may top out at around 80 thousand. But the demo, which we're still hoping to release sometime this galactic rotation, will probably be longer than that. So that's somewhere in the ballpark of 80 thousand spread out over 5 routes.  You heard read me, 5. Nikhila, Jennifer, Lynn, Laura, and the NoGirl. You're probably already familiar with our heroines, but we have been planning to do a manly men doing manly things route from the beginning, and hopefully with our artists' talents for drawing depressed, unshaven men, it will deliver everything you could ever hope for in such a route.

As for the topic of abandoned CG's. Well, there's not much to talk about here, so have a picture.

I'm so sorry, Skye

As you can see, our artist drew himself in the picture. He's the one staring at the table wondering where it all went wrong after receiving the news that the entire bar scene he was working on had been cut entirely.

Music? Yeah, we've got that too, thankfully none of it's been cut either. First up is a piece from our good friend Sam Handwiches called "Chains." And the second is a wonderful piano piece from our resident musician Chandra, I don't think it has an official title yet, but here goes.

That's all this time around. As always if you have any other questions, or if you just want to berate us, drop by our IRC, we're #scriptforge on the Rizon network. Or just bother us in the comment section.

Now's the part of the post where I list off random numbers and facts and you have this picture of the sluttiest Transversion: Nikhila.
