I literally scratched my head at that video.

That was really fucked up.

Literally/metaphorically.

As Joe said, we are going to use Type-Moon style. Key sprites are ugly. Too "close" and only show one character at once.

I can't believe some of you don't remember that video... I post it whenever someone mentions Alice, Wonderland, or Alice in Wonderland.

Also, is it just me, or does Miku seem similar to the Queen in the video?

I kind of based the Queen off of that video, actually.

I like this idea. Let's go with that then.

To be exact, we're using the Type-Moon style with the Key-style text window, although we might switch to the other window style for certain interludes. And yes, Renpy can do that, I first saw that in Katawa Shoujo and loved it.

Actually, differing the text boxes slightly would work great for helping the player know who's narrating at which point and for when it's an interlude. And I won't even have to draw more sprites this way!

This might be a good idea. But how it makes you draw less sprites?

While we were leaning more towards not having any distinction, one option that was discussed for showing whether Kyon or Kyonko was narrating was to have little face graphics in the corner. By switching the color or style of the text boxes for the two different narrators, I would obviously not be required to draw the face graphics for them.

Heatth · 2009-10-08, 05:14

Ah, I didn't know that. I frankly don't like the idea. Better a "pink box/blue box" for showing who is narrating. Also, in the novel we never "see" Kyon's expressions, and the anime hide them when necessery. First person help on it.

It would be quite difficult for human technology to do this. It would take a lot of processing power in itself for something to act as the CPU for this kind of large processing cluster, especially when the components aren't uniform. Even if Yuuki could do it efficiently, a dialup connection is a bottleneck for data to pass through between the hundreds of computers. It'll be like trying to drink a lake through a straw.

I imagine Yuuki could do it, using a reality hacking virus thing like the cave cricket. He infects the local network of computers/Playstations and they are all changed/upgraded to process the data he needs effectively and covertly, so that the users don't realize their computers are trying to divide by zero. Using those small .jpgs that actually contains 436 TB haxx data, even a dialup is quick. He could even reality haxx a dialup line into broadband.

Your assuming it is dailup from a school? Why would a school be using dailup in 2004?

Of course I'm assuming this is happening at the school.

We can use:

(light)
Haruhi - Red
Kyon - Black
Koizumi - Blue
Mikuru - Pink
Yuki - purple
Tsuruya-san - green
Imouto - yellow
Tanaguchi - no border
Kunikuda - brown
Computer Society - gray
Student Council - orange
Emiri - yellow green (same color as her hair)

(dark)
Genderbent version

Binjovi · 2009-10-09, 04:41

The colors are only really necessary to determine which narrator is controlling the story, so we'd only need two colors. One for universe 1 and one for universe A. A plain, nondescript, black box with white letters would be suitable for interludes when there is no real narrator.

Also...

You obviously missed the fact that they were in a love hotel, then. (No offense)

Blue and Pink then, respectively.

Although a darker pink. Kyonko would murder you if you made her narration hot pink.

I meant that as in 'what Itsuko would think if Kyonko's narration was hot pink'.

Right.

...Given the way I've written her up until now Itsuko would probably just tease her.
