Re: StoryDevs — a site for finding VN devs

Thanks for the kind words everyone! (I think you said writers would be a thing on there) Yep, pretty much any skillset related to a visual novel will be able to be chosen once the site is finished. I'm not sure if these are known bugs, but wanted to let you know if this was an issue you weren't awar...

Re: StoryDevs — a site for finding VN devs

There's a new blog update here . In summary these are the points it covers: Account System Restored. The re-write of the site has now surpassed where it initially was and accounts are now back. There's also been some minor re-design of the account layout, and I've made some mock-ups for parts of the...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

Background for my visual novel. 90% of my backgrounds are nighttime scenes and I can't figure out if you're supposed to show atmospheric fade if it's a night-time scene. Anyone know? [You posted this a while ago so it's probably not that helpful anymore but...] I don't whether you're supposed to bu...

Re: How do you feel about flipping asymmetrical sprites?

I always notice flipping, but it's not a big deal. Completely redrawing the sprite just because their direction is reversed is actually overkill IMO. Remember that you're in a primarily developer forum and that the majority of people just won't care or even notice. I feel like partial redraw is sens...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

That's really nice! Looks great! Thank you :) Every time I see your work, I feel like cutting a hole in the back of your head to consume your brain and absorb your skills as my own. Since that would get me arrested, I'll settle for you telling me your secrets. OHO My secret is that I cut holes into...

Re: So, what editor do you guys use?

Make sure to look through the plugins available. There are a lot to sift through, but a little bit of googling helps to find what's worth installing. Oh, I had to look through the plugins immediately to do the most important thing: choose a theme :D Really nice how easy it is to do that once you ge...

Re: So, what editor do you guys use?

Just dropping in to say I got so pissed off with WebStorm that I switched back to Notepad++ then got mad at that too and tried Sublime Text 3 and it's really nice! Only have a couple days experience with it but it's great so far. Thanks for mentioning that.

Re: So, what editor do you guys use?

I'd pretty much always used Notepad++ until I started working on StoryDevs when I switched to WebStorm out of ignorance, taking it on authority that I needed all the crap it offers. I didn't and I don't. It was a huge mistake and I'm going to try to migrate back (I haven't yet because I can't be bot...

Re: 2016 Indie Visual Novel Developer Demographic Survey!

Hey, this came up in conversation just now and I'm kind of curious to know whether the data is available! Also, where was the survey shared? (Also, hopefully the results aren't in some thread I missed... I did search first)

Re: Thoughts on death of Steam Greenlight?

LateWhiteRabbit has more or less said what I was going to say, albeit with significantly less swearing. Valve sends its employees on an annual vacation to like Hawaii or wherever and everyone's families come along too. Like, cancelling that vacation alone would probably cover the costs of proper qua...

Re: What inspires you?

Like PassiveChicken and Morhighan I'm also inspired by music quite a bit. Last year I discovered both The Smiths and Twin Peaks which have each been inspirations in different ways for me. Though a large part of my inspiration is drawn from my life, current events, and friends. Very little comes from...

Just a quick update to say that StoryDevs now has a Discord server: https://discord.gg/eeWHtHY If you want to hang out or ask questions or whatever. Well, that's what it's there for! --- P.S. I tend to mostly update on the StoryDevs Tumblr and Twitter accounts now — I often forget this thread exists...
