No.1843[View All]
I'm currently working on a visual novel inspired from Ongezellig. I'll post progress reports in this thread weekly on Sunday from now on as well as on my YouTube channel (
https://www.youtube.com/@KudzuMedia)
10/20 Progress:
Began background art for protagonist's room and Vera's classroom (both unfinished) (pictured)
~230 added lines of character dialogue
Minimal progress on animation script
Character art, music, translations, and GUI customization not yet started
Notes:
I'd like to do as much of this as I can on my own since I find it to be a good opportunity to gain experience for professional projects in the future. However, I also don't want it to take several years, nor do I want to burn myself out on something I'm making for free. I'm confident I can do the background art and script on my own, but I am considering reaching out to others for character art and music, and I will definitely have to do so for translations. I still need to figure out how I want to approach it (basically my options are to commission people, collaborate with others who aren't strongly incentivized to follow through like commissioned people, or be super resourceful with how I'm spending my own time and energy). If you're interested in participating, though, let me know and I'll keep you in the back of my mind (even if its something I said I could probably do alone). I still intend on finding a way to do direct communication.
Also, the frame from the original thread was basically just a concept that won't actually be in the game.

11/3 Progress
I've extended what I'm considering the "introductory chapter", so some of this contradicts what I've already said.
Finished script for first ~75% of introductory chapter
Completed all sprite transformations (except changes in expressions) for first ~75% of introductory chapter, all related bugs fixed.
Improved background art for protagonist's bedroom and Vera's classroom
Mostly completed the background art for the route to school
Improved significantly with working with Renpy and Python; future progress in programming will be done quicker now that I have a good idea of what works well and what doesn't.
The biggest things I need to do are character sprites/cgs/background art. I'll probably start working on the sprites this week. Once the art is done, I can start really pumping out the script. I'm also considering just completing the whole introductory chapter and releasing it as a demo so I can get feedback early on. Making these updates and responding to comments also takes a good chunk of time, so I might do them unscheduled and less regularly than I have been.

No.2642
>>2638>>2640I am still working on it. I'm mainly trying to complete the script right now before doing more art. One of the reasons I'm pausing regular updates is because I don't want to build up too much anticipation too early, since life could always get in the way. I will resume them at some point once good progress is made.

Final Zarty Update
Due to the scale of this project growing drastically greater than first intended, I've decided to drop all Ongezellig-related aspects to the VN and use what I have to create something fully original instead. This was originally mostly intended as a mere experiment to test making VNs and writing a story. Now, though, since the stakes are much higher and much more personal investment is needed to do what I wish, I would like to own the characters and the setting that I'm using to mitigate copyright risk and to claim originality.
I still imagine this project as having themes similar to what Ongezellig did (and hopefully still appreciated by its audience). I'm also actually able to keep most of the script, as so much of it was based on new imaginations of the story rather than what was already seen in the pilot. The vast majority of art is also not yet developed, so I'm not set back here, either. However, this is definitely NAZ anymore and I won't continue to post updates for it on the Zarty after this.
Thanks a ton to all those who have offered help and feedback.

Hello there people of Zarty I’m Danny-Boy you might seen me around twitter sharing and using the Ongezellig hashtags if not then I just want say hello there good to meet you
I’m a Ongezellig fan through and through I only wish to make something for everyone can enjoy, im making a visual novel for Ongezellig and I want to bring the community into a new era of prosperity
I hate that even a fandom small like us we are in this red vs blue bullshit I simply wish to enjoy the show without gooners freaks and power tripping assholes being a part of it
So in order to take the first steps I’m willing to have people from zarty join me im in need of progammers or coders who knows Ren’py
I want to state I’m not with any sides I’m just some dude who dive into this loving this funny Dutch show if anything I’m in the middle and I have a goal, ever since update 130 I felt motivated to give maya mymy and coco their endings and a proper send off massa might turn his back on them but I won’t not till their story is made and shared
Let’s try to work together and build a better future for the Ongezellig community
