Hey guys

Here's the first part of the fortune teller cutscene:





Any thoughts?

It reminds me a bit of final fantasy chronicles.
It looks very nice.

the fortune teller cutscene is really good. Has a great nostalgic feel of old time rpg.

Looking great!
Regarding the character's names in the dialog boxes, a bold + shadow effect or color change should be more than enough.

Thanks guys

@eyeliner: Well I did change the color of the names as you can see in the fortune teller video - thanks to @McMutton's suggestion. Before, the names had the same color as the rest of the text in the dialog box.

Hey guys

We've been working on the theme-song Anime for Light Fairytale. Here's a few shots:

Bonus, here's a few new screenshots from the game:

Any thoughts?

Character sheet looks really cute. Storyboard looks great. Gif is already really impressive.

Overally, I really like the Final Fantasy 3 DS - style. Will be following this!

Hey guys

I've been working on the UI recently. Here's a few shots:

Any comments or suggestions?

Looking much better, tho the yellow arrow should be all the way inside the box, not over the border.

It might make more sens if the cursor was within the window, but I personally like it this way, for multiple reasons:

• More readability - bigger cursor.
• The cursor pop-out from the screen when playing in stereoscopic 3D.
• More space for the text.

Update, here's how the new UI looks like in a dialog:

Your neon signs are really beautiful, nothing in the asset store even comes as close to looking this good. Do you have a blog post that details how you make them? I popped over here after I saw a pic on twitter about your urban massing, but the "Station" sign on the image above is doing a similar thing.

Actually that "Station" sign comes from the asset store: The "Dark City" pack I think. Though I've customized the model / texture / material.

This game is looking very good, indeed. It gives a fairly strong vibe of Midgar, for better or worse.

Don't really like the crosses in the eyes of the dead/sleeping/frozen/knocked out guys, though...

Thanks! Well Final Fantasy 7 was my main inspiration for this project - obviously

I see. Though I think that these exaggerated expressions fits the exaggerated - SD / chibi proportions of the characters.

Ok, I can understand that. Though I don't really like chibi design, I can go with it. I have beaten FF9 and liked it very much, despite the character design.

Carry on, brave soldier!

You're doing all of this on your own? That's incredible! Went through your games and I have to say, you have a knack for throwing people into the nostalgia zone (seriously, the music on Super Night Riders reminds of the PSX Megaman games, it's wonderful).

Are those traditional or digital storyboards? Very impressive, either way. Love the linework!

Thanks guys

@Zaeche: neko.works is basically just me, but I do request additional assets from freelancers for things I can't do, such as the musics, illustrations (apart from the cover art that I did myself) and Anime.
