Alternate Outfits Concept Art 12/1/2017
"As many of you probably know we’ve long held the belief that we wouldn’t try to force updates and we’d work on only updating the blog when there is something to talk about or show. Well, with the addition of our two artists we do have something to show you. Here are some concepts of the alternate outfits for Chioko and Heiwako.

While they have been working on other stuff besides these we aren’t ready to show those yet. All that being said we are making progress on sprites and the final script is coming along at a steady pace. We hope we’ll get to show you more art and concept work in the near future.“
New Writer Introductions
Two weeks ago we looked through all the applications you sent us over the past few months and picked the people we thought were the most qualified to work alongside us. They will be working with us over the coming months in writing, planning, and finalizing the script that will go into the final version of Full Hearts. Some of you might have already met them on our Discord but to the rest of you, here are some short introductions they wrote up for all of you.
Sky: “ Hello everyone! My name is Sky, I’m going to be one of the writers working on this game alongside the rest of the lovely crew we have here. So far I’ve just been trying to familiarize myself with all that the team has done over the last few years and see where I fit in. Having grown up around disabled people, I believe that I can bring some familiarity to these characters and make them fully fleshed out people for the game. I hope you all enjoy the work we’re putting in, hang on a little longer and I’m sure we’ll have a great game for everyone to enjoy! ”
Evocator: “ Hi, my name is Evocator, and I am one of the writers that will be working on Full Hearts. I have experience writing scripts for videos and short films but have never written one for a game. Although this is a very new environment for me, I will give this project everything I got and make it a great game that will exceed your standards. To be given this role is an honor and helping write and develop this story has been a blast while also meeting the very talented people behind the project. I hope that you guys enjoy the game as much as we enjoyed writing it for you!”

In regards to an update on the demo, we tend to only show off anything when there’s something to show off. We are working on finishing up some fixes regarding crashes and sprite errors. And you might’ve heard Lost mention that we are missing our sprite artist, Temeristas93, over the past few months I’ve tried contacting him through his e-mail and twitter, for now he is absent without leave. So if you want to draw for us or know of someone who might be interested, send us an email at eritfortis@gmail.com |
Jun - 23 - 2017 Update: A Summer Art Update
|
One thing that I didn't mention in the last art update I did is bring up who this specific character was. This is Anko, our main protagonist’s sister. She won't be making that much of an appearance in the story, but she was prevalent enough to warrant a design.
|
Putting that aside, there are a couple of things I wanted to discuss. First off, in regards to any issues that we have in regards to the sprites of our game, most of those will have to be solved at a later date. Our last sprite artist Temeritas has currently been pursuing other ventures. As such, we can't make much progress in regards to in-game art. So if we make any updates to our game and you don't see any immediate changes to the in-game sprites, this is the reason why. Now, one thing that I mentioned in our last art update was the need to revamp some characters. I feel now that I've made some progress, and now is the time to discuss the progress I've made with you guys to get some feedback.
So, the first character that needed a revamp was Kameko. When it came to the current design that you see in her current sprite work, I never could get a real grasp as to what her character really was. It never felt like there was a real sense of direction in regards to her design, and with some of the comments I've gotten in regards to having “too many brown haired girls” or some saying that she looks like a “Rin rip-off” I decided that a change for her was needed. So with that in mind…

This the direction I want to take Kameko in. I tried to go for a very “beauty in the mundane” type of approach in regards to her character. I figured it would suit her relaxed and laid back type of character while still looking like someone that would be into activities such as swimming.
Now, another character that I felt that needed some major revamping was Rina. When it came to her design, there were plenty of things that never felt right to me. There was so much going on with her design and so many details that felt off, I felt a revamping was needed.

One big thing that I wanted to change was the unnecessary braiding of her hair. There's a certain beauty to characters that have just long hair without anything obstructing it, and I felt this kind of beauty would be suited for someone like Rina. Another big thing was her eyes. I was never fond of the very square-like eye shape she had going on, so I rounded her eyes more. Another thing that I also really stood out that I didn't like was her black eyelashes, so I changed that detail as well. Although it is hard to represent this change in regular sketches, so I opted to outline the eyelashes to convey this. Another detail that will change is her eye color. Previously we just made the eyes pure red, but based on my research, I found that detail to be off. In regards to people with albinism, the tendency tends to be an eye color of blue with maybe hints of red, so expect to see these kind of details in future art.
So, those are the only characters that are going under changes. If you guys want to talk about the changes I've made and have your say, I’ll be happy to respond to these changes on our Discord.
Now, one last thing, while going through the process of revamping, I've come to realize that the school uniforms we currently may be too restrictive, which hinders some of the designs of our girls.

So I figured that more clothing options should be available in order to express our characters better. The idea for “casual clothes” for our characters was always in the back of our head but I felt that since them being in school will be such a prominent thing, more clothing options to break away from the standard uniform was needed.
So expect to see some experimentation in regards to that in the future.
One last thing, apologies for the art updates being only very rough looking sketches. I’ll try my best to do more digital work, although my resources to do so are limited. Anyways, I believe that is all I wanted to say. Again, if you have any concerns with these design changes, feel free to talk to me about it.
Hope to update you guys soon
