EE - Animated OP (Need your Help for Script)

Hello Patreons!

Hope everyone is doing well. We have some super excited news to share, there may be a possibility of us getting a proper anime-style opening done for EE! We've attached a basic test footage (without post-process effects) and think that this can actually end up being pretty cool.

That being said, we need a full script of what the 1:39 song (attached above) will be, basically documenting on which part what happens. Stuff like:

Ethereal Enigma - BIG THINGS HAPPENING IN APRIL!!

Hello Patrons!

Sorry for the caplock title but we are just too excited!! >O<
With re-adjusting Ethereal Enigma, we had to backtrack and revisit some previous work which did slow down progress, but we are finally out of that rut and are going full steam ahead!

I've attached the current OST which is about 8 tracks and a handful of revised/finalized BG's to get a sense of the EE wor...

Meta-Humor / 4th Wall Jokes Feedback

Hey Patrons!

Just wanted to get your opinion on what you think about meta-humor and 4th wall jokes! This is like the pop culture references, name tweaks, memes...etc that you find sprinkled throughout ACE and Crystalline. ACE definitely had more of this given its setting though Crystalline had some references here and there as well.

Please vote on your preference regarding meta-humor and 4th wall jokes and also if you had any feedback to share on a reply. We design our ...

Project Enigma - February Update!

Hello Patrons,

I've attached a progress update so far which contains some WIP for BGs, OST along with character sheets and the Live2D sprites. Majority of our efforts for the last month has been on getting the Live2D models completed (since we are looking to go even more in-depth, the number of individual pieces has also gone up!) and the writing.

PixelFade - Our Team Has Expanded!

Hello Patrons,

Just wanted to give you guys an update that we've actually expanded our team with 2 new writers! This will help with more idea flows during brainstorming/storyboard sessions but mainly it will significantly reduce scripting schedules.

We've also introduced more checks to make sure the quality and consistency of our writing will not only be as good as it was before, but have stronger coherency and impact/recognition of player choices.

On that note, t...

There will be a lore heavy post in the near future discussing who exactly the "spirits" are, how they can engage with MC/our world, as well as general background and their society. We'll keep it a separate post since that is likely to contain some spoilers.

As with the other characters, please feel free to share some character names if you have ideas! Her name ca...

Project Enigma - Minami Character Reveal

Hello Patrons,

Just here to share the character sheet for Minami! The name was chosen based on Minami being the popular pick, though we haven't quite finalized a last name yet.

Her character is really fun to write for since being so close in age to MC let's be a "little sister" at times and "big sister" at others. Also this is the first tomboy character across all our projects so that has also been quite awesome to do! I hope you guys are looking forward to meeting ...

Here Comes 2019!!

Hello Patrons,

Project 4 - Kira Nationality

Hey Patrons,

WE HERE WITH THE DOUBLE POST! :^)

So for this one, we have worked through the backstory of Kira and are in a position where her nationality does not have to be full Japan. We thought it would be kinda cool to make her half German! What are your thoughts? This would mainly impact her origin but nothing too fundamental in present day!
