[VX Ace] The Laughing Isles

[stork]

Finding something charming about 1 on animated.
2 For stills. Lol

I like Tula's design, though hope the gag's lost before long. Was hoping she could talk.
(or you know, laugh depending on circumstance ^^)

 

[Xtreme09]

As much as I'd like 12 (and a source on it), 15's my choice. Egoraptor for the win. 1 is good too.

That's because Nichijou is nothing but charming 😛 Seriously, if you enjoyed Azumanga Daioh, Nichijou is 100% for you. If you don't know wtf Azumanga Daioh is, Nichijou is still for you because of every moment of hilarity.

Don't worry, it's just for the teaser. The ballgag was just placed there to keep her from spouting obscenities at us...

Actually they were directed at Bezzy mostly...

Come to think of it...she wasn't pissed until Bezzy punched her in the boob...
-ponders-

Freaking landslide going on with 15. And which 1 is that; Still 1 or Animated 1? Not that it's going to matter much at this rate lol.

You want to know 12's source? YOU want to know 12's SOURCE!? You can't HANDLE 12's source!

Lol. Naw, but I remember you telling me tiny boobs were ok so long as nothing sexual was being done, right? What scenes count as crossing the line? Is a brief gropping as a comedic gag that happens maybe once every...I dunno...6 episodes out of 12...bad? Bakemonogatari is the first, with its sequal Nisemonogatari (where that scene comes from). Both have a good bit of Foot Focus scenes, though Nise has a LOT more than Bake.

 

[Xtreme09]

Animated 1. And thank you for the source.

 

[10 armed tkler]

18 or 2 for me.

 

[Reogen]

16 for animated, 5 for still. Choice between feet and gentelmenly cats makes it difficult 😛

By the way AW. I noticed you are withholding a demo for this contest. I want to be honest here and forgive me if i'm a little harsh about it. I am not in approval of it.

Don't get me wrong, I'll participate in anything you put out like this one. But attaching a string is just...cruel.

I mean think about it. You hype up this game with all this content and now you're withholding a finished game demo for a week just so we choose what your new avatar is? Again, I'm fine with helping you out with your problems but I don't like the dangling of a carrot on a string that goes with it.

It's fine if you're giving us more information on characters or stuff you're doing in the game in return though but this is a demo. Unless this character you're revealing to us has something to do with what is in the demo.

At least lie to us and say "The demo needs at least another week of refining before it can be released. In the mean time, how about a contest?" I'd be fine with that too. But the way you said it here I just didn't like.


I mean no disrespect AW and it's totally up to you on what you do with what you make. I just want to bring this to your attention and give you my opinion on it. I had to say something.

Oh and my money's still on 15 with 12 being second.

AW's soul has been sucked empty dry by a vampirical force of ectoplasmic nature while his mind was occupied with a hypno cuddle bear he has just bought...

Oh my. I don't quite think I like what you're saying to me. It sounds rather negative, and unhappy. It also sounds like you've jumped to a conclusion that doesn't exist. Ho hum~ I am so bad at communicating I guess. Let me explain myself so we can clear up any misconceptions.

Even when I finished the Demo, I wouldn't feel right releasing it without having revealed at least one of the girls.

No, Xtreme. This is not a holdup for the Demo. As suggested above, the Demo is not even finished yet. I was going to release Tula next weekend as I finalized her design, but I thought I'd rather do something slightly more interactive for the community. There's only so much that can happen when all you do is wait for a status update - why not encourage the fans to stay a while and listen by letting them help "make an update happen".

What I was saying was that I couldn't release a demo without releasing a girl. It wouldn't feel right after waiting - and yes, I wanted Tula out the door first because she'll be - technically - the first girl you're going to see. She is going to be in the Demo, so it would've felt weird releasing her after I finished it.

I wouldn't withhold something like that to you guys. That's such a dickish move. This is merely something fun I thought of that kills two birds with one stone. I'll let you know when it's finished, but I'd say only 70% is done with the Demo. Of course, i keep going back and adjusting a few things, but please know that I'm not dangling any carrots just to pull them out of your reach.

AW's soul has been sucked empty dry by a vampirical force of ectoplasmic nature while his mind was occupied with a hypno cuddle bear he has just bought...

She...sucked my soul out of...places...
-sobs- :cry

 

[Xtreme09]

Good. I had a feeling you wouldn't do that and I'm sorry I assumed as such. I didn't understand what you said in that you had worded it in a way that I thought you were finished and that doing this would unlock that restriction which made me think you were withholding it. Also Even when I finished the Demo was worded that made me think you had finished the demo. Replace "when" with "if" and I wouldn't have acted like such an idiot. Though if you did specifically say you were still working on the demo, I wouldn't have thought you were doing this. And I did say unless this girl has something to do with the demo. Which you say she does.

Again. Apologies for the misunderstanding. Wasn't nice of me but at least I was sensible about it instead of "WTF IS THIS?! YOU'RE A HORRIBLE PERSON!!"

Oh and wasn't angry, I was more disappointed. 😛

 

[AnimeWatcher1]

Lol well I am just terrible with words. I mean, I DID convince you earlier that I had put killer cannibalistic lolis in the game. :stickout
Wouldn't "if" make it sound like there was a chance I wouldn't finish the demo? I worried more about people thinking that was a possibility. I think it's the past tensed "finished" rather than "finish". I'll change that.
Of course, an earlier post did give a status update on how much of the Demo had been done. It's just, like any long thread, finding exact info on each page is a chore.

Edit: Also, I'm sure MisterDae likes this since I remember him wanting me to post more on the characters/enemies 😛


Ah, and let's see the scores so far-

AA-15: 5

Where do you think we are?

 

[AnimeWatcher1]

Ugh...why is this week so hellish at work. Bleh. Haven't been able to work on anything and it's annoyed me oh so much.

Anyways - gentlemen, gentlemen, please do not fight. I made all of these expecting that the fetish ones would get the most attention. I'm more surprised to see people going for others - this community never ceases to amaze me and I LOVE IT! Come Sunday, a great change will occur! I will be getting a new avatar, and you all will be getting a beautiful babe to think about inviting to your game's party.

Current scores:

AA-15: 5
AA-12: 3
AA-1: 2
AA-18: 1
AA-16: 1
AA-2: 1
AA-13: 1

SA-5: 2
SA-2: 1
SA-3: 1

At the rate things are going, I'll either have a bathing girl with her feet right in your face or a cussing pokemon as my new avi :lol Unless a major upset happens.

 

[shadowscurse1]

Yes! Come on 15! :stickout The hilarity of the full length version wins out over everything lol

 

[Guy_Zer0]

SA - 5

(that was a tough choice, good selection)

 

[AnimeWatcher1]

What a week, what a week! Was so damn stressful, I'm glad it's all over with. Of course, then I've got the weekend and I now have all of this to worry about! :blink I thought it was the wicked who had no rest lol. ALRIGHT, I'm closing the results on this week's votes. We now are going to do the voting Finals, since I said I would.

I also said I'd make this a sudden death - however, I know some people have different schedules and, yknow, their own lives, soooo I'm extending it to a few days voting. This week was also not a good one for free time, so I need just a smidge more time to finish the picture and color it (since I'm out of town until Sunday evening, I can't finish the pic this weekend! I could maybe post a B&W version Sunday, but I really feel like I owe you guys finished pictures).

As to the Final votes, I'm reseting scores on everything and grabbing the top 3 (rather than two since my2cents brought a tie for second! Wowzers!). Since Cussing Venasaur had a voting lead, I'm giving it a start of +1 votes by default.

So choose your final among these 3! Thank you guys again for voting! Each of you are so friggin awesome.

Your Finalists:

1. FFFFF-Cussing Venasaur
   Score: 1
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Foot Fetish in a Tub
   Score: 0
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. "BRILLIANT, GENTLEMEN!" Cat
   Score: 0
   
   

Again, sorry for the delay guys! Please try and restrain yourselves from picking up sharp, pointy things and chucking them at me!

 

[Reogen]

Huh, I just remembered I haven't watched the anime form of Mirai Nikki yet. Actually, haven't finished the manga either! D:

Ah, but on to the avis! In the spirit of your name, its obviously 2. But personality wise, 1 then 3...or 3 then 1...or 2 and...wait, that's the anime one...Gah! they fit too wellllllll!

 

[shadowscurse1]

VENUUUUUUSAAAAAAAAAAAAUR! :lol

 

[tudorb1]

Pissed off Venusaur ftw! Partially because he seems to be chilling with a very floppy Edward Elric.

 

[Carnivore]

I have to vote for #3, that cat is just the right amount of creepy combined with classy. Also, I prefer the non-moving avatars. While fun for a while, eventually they tend towards annoying. Not that such things would keep me away from this thread, or from a character reveal! In fact, we should just close the ballots right now! Nothing to see here, move along everyone!

 

[Xtreme09]

Yeah i'm going #1 as well

I-I...how do I respond to this?

First of all, you need to CORRECT that problem with Mirrai Nikki. I recommend taking a day off (or weekend) and finishing up at least the anime! Bad Reogen, bad. You know the rule: You may only not finish a series if it's terribad.

As to your vote...I...have no idea...what to take from this. I mean, I think you chose... um...

...

I don't...I don't know.

Lol the only reason you want the ballot closed ASAP is so you can finally stop racking your brain after knowing what one of the girl's race is 😛



So, current scores are:

#1: 4

#2: 0

#3: 1

I'd have added Reogen's vote, but I'm afraid I'm terrible at reading minds; particularly ones that can't make up themselves. :lol Still, even without that power, I can safely say Cussing Venasaur seems to (again) be the top pick. Ballot is still open for the time being, but it won't be for long!
