Re: Nonsense Writing?
Like free association? Yeah, I do something like that a lot. Really helps you loosen up and generate new ideas without having to worry if they are "good". Definitely a beneficial exercise, and if you have a couple friends around, can be a fun party game as well.

Re: Ideas Dump
I have had this little plot bunny on my head since forever, because I HATE WITH A PASSION the "Bet" trope (where a man bets he can bet a lady, an end with those the two dating), more info here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheBet Tittle: Hell hath no fury (or "Nemesis&q...

Re: Writing - Are clichés sometimes inevitable?
Unless you're writing something highly experimental, you will probably use at least a few tropes in your work. For myself, I'm highly aware of which tropes I like and which ones I hate, so I don't usually struggle with it. If you really want to move away from predictability and tropes, I recommend t...

Re: Is My Writing Good Enough For Pay?
Yeah I second what Laiska said. You can swap skills, too, for example if someone's looking for a programmer for their project you can offer to do that in exchange for them doing the art for yours. In a different thread you said that you thought Ren'py was easy, well, haha, that's awesome really. I b...

Re: Main Character Race And My Race Issues!
I can see how I might have been unclear. Let me think how to explain it... Say for instance a black person says "Screw white people." I have seen white people turn around and say "Look, black people are just as racist as white people! It's reverse racism!" and use that as an excu...

Re: Writing a queer romance with little to no knowledge
I would recommend reading anything by Audre Lorde to give you a real serious look at what a lesbian relationship is like for a black woman. Powerful writing. Here's a pdf. I'd start with the Sister Outsider essays.

Re: Main Character Race And My Race Issues!
I'm familiar with the attitude you're describing from the other side of the coin. When I was growing up in Atlanta, folks would call my friends "oreo" for hanging out with me. You and meiri already described about how "intelligence=white" can be so damaging, I've definitely seen ...

Re: Black Closet [Interactive Mystery, Friendship or GxG]
This is also the game where I had the idea to make every single thing the main character says into a player choice Sounds awesome! A lot of amazing indie games just end up being heartbreakingly short, for obvious reasons. So from a player's perspective, I am in favor of adding more stuff. Even if t...

Re: Scums of the Earth [GxG] [Drama]
For instance, I really disagree with where radical feminists and trans-erasing radical feminists are coming from, but they're still feminists! Radfems and TERFs are part of a problematic hemisphere of feminism, but in ultimately fighting for the same things, they're feminists. It's a portion of fem...

Re: I'm making a visual novel about animal mages.
As a guinea pig owner, I would love to see more games with cute fluffy rodents. So another "Yay rats!" person here.

OH also, if you are an ESL speaker (being from Argentina, I think you said?), I gotta say your English writing is fantastic. Really evocative.

Re: Hierofanía
I just played this last night and got two endings, Imprisoned Knight and Tainted Knight. I love this game. I'll probably leave some more thoughts when I get more endings, but here is my impression so far: It's amazing! The characters are all so interesting and I love how more layers are uncovered wi...
