Oh dear, it looks like I'll have trouble topping my last idea. Regardless: A game in which you get a set of letters without knowing the senders or recipients. It's your task to figure out the right sender and recipient for each letter so that the correspondence makes any sense. It's easy when it's j...

I'm sure most have noticed, but I actually finished it! Though not all promises made in this thread were kept.

The link is here.

I would write "COMPLETE" in the thread title, but unfortunately, the title of the game is so long that it's already at its character limit.

Downloaded - the mac version gives the opening screen, but when trying to START the story, it crashes - WAH!!! Oh dear. I've got to admit that I really don't know anything about how such issues arise — I just press the Distribute button and hope for the best (and I can only test it on my own Window...

http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/2690/joneslogo.jpg Eve may appear to be a normal young woman, but be warned — she is, in fact, a robot. Where she came from or who made her, we cannot tell. All we know is that she is far too lifelike to be legal and constitutes a potential danger so human society...

The Wikipedia article on game has a bunch of definitions. Salen and Zimmerman have a bigger list in their book Rules of Play . I go by their own, which is that a game is a "a system in which players engage in an artificial conflict, defined by rules, that results in a quantifiable outcome,"...

A distinction between 'game' and 'play' is one of the greatest assets of the English language. While I do not consider all visual novels to be games (it depends on whether you're trying to win), the word play is much broader than games. You can, for example, play in theatre, play music, play a movie...

I noticed back in the beginning of NaNoRenO that you and I both had the same tags for our visual novels and dealth with similar themes. Now that I've played it, it's uncannily similar in some ways and completely different in others. I had fun! If I've got to give you one piece of criticism, I think ...

but really, look at his reviews and give me one title, just one, he recommends to me as a possible player . I can't find one. Well, except for Hierofania, but that one didn't get his "Best VN of 2012" award. It somehow doesn't fit. OELVN Recommendation Chart v1 I think the balance, for hi...

As anyone could see coming, this wasn't to be finished by the end of March. But the script is finished at about 9,500 words, and I'm working hard on making the images. I'm experimenting with combinable assets for Eve, so she'll have 3 or maybe 4 head poses and 2 body poses that can be combined. http...

Ha, RunicV, you remind me of myself — I've had this discussion from your point of view dozens of times. All I can say is that people won't be persuaded; at best you can inspire them, and then even rarely, just as you probably came to your opinion not because someone told you its merits but because o...

Question. If Japanese names and settings are a problem, aren't Japanese art styles more so? Even among the visual novels that do take place outside of the East, a very great deal of them look like anime or manga. That's also the most common complaint I've read from gaming websites when VNs are prese...

For my unannounced project, I had already been using 3D bases to draw from for the backgrounds and bodies ( here's an experiment), but not yet for the faces, which is what I've been doing today. It's surprisingly difficult as the model render and the tracing end up looking so differently. http://img...

Congratulations on finishing! I'll be honest with you, I had initially downloaded this primarily to see the visuals, because I like their style, thinking that the story would be a fairly standard meaning of life story. I was pleasantly surprised. I had my doubts about the length of the repetition af...

Ok, I admit I laughed, even at some jokes for which I feel ashamed to be laughing. I think your timing works well and some of the jokes have their moments of being justified criticism of the VN community. But where with Outlook you made a satire of tropes that others were using during that very same...

Personally I like that the Japanese tropes are common enough to easily take the piss out of, but not so dominant that those visual novels are unavoidable. It makes it very easy to write a comical satire of visual novels. For Origamo Furioso I just had to write a line like "my name is Toyota Mit...
