What is Evil O.S. ?

Evil Operating System is a small Artist Guild. Here we talk about our work in detail, such as: its creation, our inspirations, others involved, etc. We take on art in any form (painting, sculpting, graphic design, tailoring, printmaking, comic books, martial arts, film, etc.) and practice it to show to the world. Also, the group attends conventions and culture festivals/events all over the island of Montreal. We hope to inspire others and perhaps even rule the world with our kick-arse artwork! >=D

Enjoy your stay folks!

Visual Novel a novel that's visual!

Keep smiling dammit...

Well, I usually don't update before meeting time, but hell it's been a while.

"I, Ein Hoshino, officially submit myself to the stress and embodiment of... the clown." -Ein Hoshino, Mar.11.2010

Worse part is, I'm not kidding. HAHAHAHAHA!! Hell, least minimum wage is higher now. A smile will be stuck on my face for a long while... mind you, whether that smile is pissed or not doesn't really show. Watch yourself!



Don't look at me, just DO me M@ster!!

I'm sure that most of you (one or two) are aware that I decided to abandon the comic world forever in favor of Visual Novels (H-GAME!). Yes, I'm tired of the repetitive production black and white work of manga (I swear black started to look like dark-red to me sometimes). Mind you, I still love manga and the comic world in-general. However, any of you remember when I last completed a series? Exactly!! So in the dept of my mind, body and soul, I decided to combine my love of gaming, game scripting/modding, art and storytelling into one! And voilà, the visual novel creation tool Ren'py came my way. Of course, I'm scrubbing out the porn and most of the fan-service... well ya, hahahaha.

Initially, I planned on having a friend help me make a full game, but she's entering school and won't be available. I'll be fine though, the program is very easy to use. Safe to say I'll be working on this alone. Drawing everything first will be long, but worthwhile once it all starts coming together.

Don't worry, I'm sure of myself this time. Ever since I started, I haven't put Ren'py to rest, hahaha! I've even done something in advance, been like two-three weeks in the making, but I've managed to put together a engine test build.

Test Build Preview

Remember those two characters from Venus no Ofuro I never used? Well I decided to put them to use just for this test. Of course, the backgrounds were quickly done and I only had 4 facial expressions per character to work with, but I think I managed to test out most of the main features of Ren'py. Also, I figured out most of the cranks and mistakes I need to avoid while drawing the sprites and backgrounds. Overall, success!~

I don't think I'll want to drop Ma.Na. Link. *Hugs script* I RATHER DIE THAN DO THAT!! I'll turn it into a visual novel. What better to use than an actual pilot I wrote anyway right? I'm going to redo some of the character designs though.

Well, I'll talk more about that after I finish my test build.

Remember meeting/gathering/go ceremony is Friday, March 19th! So far only our great deity Mike can't make it.

Here's a fun thing! Might be a bit long so load it on YouTube instead. No idea who it is since it's all in Japanese.
