Re: Can there be too much plot? How to deal with it?

So many replies! I love opinions! :D <3<3<3<3 (Err... Ahem. Sorry about that.) Of course, moderation is key, as it always is. Don't spend too much time on stuff that will never show up in the game. I think this is a downside to over planning. It is like you have no choice. I can instruct myself to ...

Can there be too much plot? How to deal with it?

I've had a story brewing around in my head for a long time. (Well, I still have, but hopefully you get the point.) I got no idea how to tell it, (perhaps as a vn?,) but I'm set on making it somehow. The thing is, I fear it has become too complicated. It started out as merely a "Let's have a [pa...

Re: Writing Tip: Writing HORROR

A human who is "pure evil" in fiction is just like those "perfect" prince-charming boys that sometimes show up in unfortunate shojou series. They're unbelievable and unrealistic, often they don't make a very convincing person. - Not that people don't like/accept them... I think t...

Re: What makes characters likeable?

It almost sounds like people decide on a stereotype, then flesh out the character... Well, many great characters are made with a certain stereotype (to some degree) in mind or as a starting point, I'm just trying to bring another opinion to the table. In real life, not many people "are" st...
