Development Blog - 6/29/2022
🕑 Added 2022-06-30 00:50:40 +0000 UTCHello guys! Here's your bi-weekly update on the status of this month's VN development. I'm unfortunately a little behind schedule due to juggling deadlines between my VNs and my new freelance job, but I expect to finish up all the appropriate artwork by the end of next week. Sorry for any inconvenience! ;w;/
Anywho, on to the update's progress:
Cecilia:
Sprite count: 3
Cecilia was one of the characters I designed towards the tail end of Repeat's development, so her appearance is mostly unchanged. I adjusted her proportions to make her more adult-like, similar to most of the new sprites, and gave her smoother, more consistent lineart. Overall, not much to say, just updating her to make her fit better with the new artstyle.
Euca/Main Character:
Sprite Count: 3
Jesus Christ I forgot how uncomfortably child-like Euca's old sprites were. Thankfully he looks more of-age now. I tried to make him look consistent with his appearances in most of the newer CGs and illustrated scenes. Oh, and he has a tail now :3
EDIT: Fuck, his blush sprite didn't show up in the GIF ;;w;;
Pretend he's all blushy and cute in one of them.
Halley:
Sprite Count: 4
As a wish, Halley is one of the few characters with cell-shading privileges. The changes are pretty apparent; I've updated her proportions, lineart, and shading into something sleeker to match my current artstyle. I kinda forgot how edgy I made Halley in the beginning lol. Has anyone else noticed how her hair has a long and short end, similar to the hands of a clock? Idk, sometimes I worry my old design decisions never really get noticed ;;w;;
Hooded Figure (Repeat Edition):
Sprite Count: 2
Yet another character that I designed later on, so they needed minimal adjustments. I did notice how in the original sprite, I accidentally left the sketch layer visible and you can kinda see my scribbles in the background, whoops ;w;
Morse:
Sprite Count: 1
My boy Morse has a sleeker look now, and I gave him an actual belt for his suspenders to attach to. I've always been a sucker for the "hot men in suspenders" aesthetic hehe~
Samuel (Work in progress):
Sprite Count: 6 of 13
Aaand here's everyone's favorite doberman daddy. I'm still halfway through working on him, but I hope you guys like how he's turning out so far. The redesign made him a little tougher-looking and gave him proper adult proportions, which you've probably noticed was an issue in the older versions. Oh, and his nipples in the previous sprites were kinda very messed up. That's been fixed :3
Samuel's one of the last side characters with a lot of different poses, so finishing the last few should be a fairly swift process.
Conclusion:
Hope you guys liked all the side-characters' new looks so far! The remaining characters I need to work on include: the rest of Samuel, the Remnant, Oleander, Jinny, and the two Lorelei thugs. Most of them don't have many pose variations, so they shouldn't take too long. I estimate that I'll be able to finish all of them up by the end of next week (hopefully?).
Thank you so much for your patience throughout all this, I really appreciate it! After this is done, I can finally jump back into making Repeat story content :D

They look very nice! Can't wait for more story content!

The only thing that gets me (this isn't even too annoying) is the Halley sprite when her eyes glow, her entire hand isn't on her head anymore. But I'm loving the new look for my favorite power house Queen. π

The future is looking brighter (and sleeker) than ever for Repeat. Looking forward to it, good work!

Haha there was a big lore debate back in the day about whether or not the Repeat characters had tails. Younger me was just too lazy to draw them ;w;
Bobby Thornbody
I think all the new sprites look amazing so far! Great work!
Shade
I can't believe I never noticed the lack of a tail
