Backgrounds

I've been thinking about the backgrounds, and figured that CGI backgrounds with some photoshopping would be the best bet.
It gives us a lot of flexibility, allowing plenty of different angles to the writer's liking.
Pre-photoshop:

Photoshop:

Different angle, without photoshop:

These were done pretty quickly using a scene I had already made, but it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.

Sweet.

What program did you use to make the CGI scene? I have photoshop so I could be of some help, although I'm not too experienced with it.

For the render, I used a combination of SketchUp, V-Ray and Photoshop.
SketchUp to physically make the scene, V-ray to edit the textures and render it, Photoshop for finishing touches.
As for helping, that depends, show me what you can do!

you, yes you are awesome and you should feel awesome.

Where did you get that background?

I created the building as a test for an old art project, with a bit of tweaking this is what you get.

Here's one I just finished there, it's a much higher quality.
Vanilla render, no Photoshop:

A bit more Photoshop:

A bit more Photoshop with lines:

Choose whichever one you like the best, I know that's a lot of options, but I figured it'd be easier this way.

i think the 3rd one looks the best but that might just be my opinion

I liked that one as well, but I thought it might be too realistic looking for a Visual Novel.

Definitely pro as fuck.
