Who's this chick?

Yeah, I'm eating those Girl Scout cookies right now. Dericious.

Anyway, I'll update a bit on the progress of the project, now named Lotus. (you might be wondering why it's named so, but I've decided to integrate it into in the story)

Yeah, so basically I've gotten another song from the talented JDarryl, and right now I'm making the main menu art/finishing up the first act of the story. On the other hand, I've been considering a few projects to do in the future, which is why I set up the poll on the side. It's pretty interesting to see the results, as most people put they'd rather see romance first, fantasy second, and comedy third in a visual novel.

Which is why I'm juggling two ideas. The first is mostly focused on fantasy in an alternate universe, but it doesn't mean I won't add in some romance in there. The second involves more funny, romantic, school-life stuff. Not sure which one to start on first after I finish Lotus, so I'll be thinking...P:

On the other hand, the second project will probably be voiced! I'll probably have to do castings and stuff, but I've recruited one voice actress that may appear in the second project. Hopefully things will go well for Lotus and any upcoming projects! 

A new opponent has entered the round!

(as well as other character info)

 Just to let you guys know, these aren't the official sprites. :P Just sketches of the characters so you can get an idea of what they look like and their general personalities. 

Hey guys, I've recruited a composer, JDarryl! :D I'm so happy because having unique and great music is really key for many scenes in a VN.
On another note, I'm completely done with the story. Now all I have to do is finish the script/programming/art, and the game can probably be released 4-5 months from now. 
Art: 3%

Other Games

Okay, I know I probably shouldn't be thinking ahead and should instead be focusing my efforts on my current project. But it's irresistible for me to go grab free-floating ideas in my head and put them down sketchily on paper.
I can say that if I finish this project and decide to do another one (who knows what the future guarantees), I will probably either start on a funny, sweet story or a full-blown fantasy. I'm eager to get both of them down on paper but I need to get a move on this project.
Some people have suggested caffeine to stay concentrated, but I don't think I'd ever be allowed to drink any in my position. :P
On a side note, I'm surprised to see how the votes on the poll are coming along.

Two more love interests in the game.

Update

"My name? Asher."

Plan

A sneak peek of the main character! 

So the plan is to finish the script sometime by the next one or two months. During this time I'll find music resources/backgrounds to use. Then I'll start on the art: sprites, CGs, and GUI. This might take a month or so, not too long I'm guessing. I'll try to put it all into Ren'Py using my non-existent programming skills. Hopefully I can get some beta-testers to pick out some problems/holes. So it'll maybe be done by...April or May? And that's a tentative date. I hope I can get it finished by then, though.
Art: 1%

Introduction

This is a website solely for making progess on visual novels created by Maltagliati (on lemmasoft). My current progress on Project C (I know, no title yet) is kind of slow, so I decided to make a blog to track/pace myself and make sure I release it soon.
I aim for about 60k+ words? I'm not sure how long a VN is supposed to be. Maybe 500+ words per day? Or should I up the workload?
Art: 1% (in the sketch stage)
Music: 0%
Writing: 15%
Programming: 0%
LOL I got this guys. orz;;;
Wordcount: 1043 words
Well, I hope I'll get somewhere with this. (:
