Re: H vs Ecchi Debate

What you're describing seems like it would fit into the parameters of "R-rated" (17+), and not necessarily porn. R-rated movies often have sex scenes with bare legs, shoulders, even breasts and butts. (True Blood, as someone mentioned--or most HBO shows for that matter--qualify.) As long a...

Re: Would it be weird to make a BxG game for girls?

I have to agree with the above points. I don't play BxG games very much, and I probably wouldn't play one that was just centered on hooking up with cute girls because...well, it just doesn't really interest me. That being said, I've read plenty of books written from the perspective of a male main ch...

Re: Lost Dreams [WIP- BxB Novel][Update 6/27]

So you're from the mitten too, eh? I don't even know how I missed that earlier! Anyway, from what you describe, the structure of the story seems really unique. I don't think I've ever seen a VN done that way before, where you really do play out a whole arc with each character. (Then again, I don't p...

Re: Lost Dreams [WIP- BxB Novel][Update 6/27]

I'm baffled as to why this has received no response yet, especially given the relative shortage of indie BL games in English. I think the premise is cute, at least a few of the love interests seem intriguing (although there are a lot!), and I like the character concept you have for Keith. (Some peop...

Re: Faery Tale ~ A Romantic Fantasy Visual Novel

Hee, I quite enjoyed this game, and a lot more than I thought I would! I was a little wary at first of the huge file size for the download, but it was absolutely worth it as the graphics were unique and stunning...very fairy-tale-esque and fitting for the story. And the story itself was certainly en...

Re: IT'S COLLEGE TIME

I'll be entering my third year at Michigan State this fall with a double major in political theory and anthropology. My original plan was to go on to graduate studies in political anthropology and eventually become a professor, but I don't know how feasible that's going to be given the current state...

Re: Dropped Projects

I agree with whoever spoke about working individually. This is my biggest problem. I like to work individually, because I prefer to be dependent only on myself...and I also don't like letting people down if I find that real life takes over and I have to place a project on hold. But for that reason, ...

Re: Scholarships?

My advice is to look into local scholarships more than anything. Talk to your guidance counselor and see if your school keeps any records or databases of local scholarships. Much of the time, no one even bothers to apply for these, and millions of dollars in scholarship money goes unclaimed. You are...

Re: What is the difference between GxB and BxG game?

She is female, to cater to girls, but her personality is extremely male, to make guys feel at home in the game too. There are instances where the girl shows her softer, more feminine, side, but they are usually pretty rare and fleeting. What do you mean by "her personality is extremely male&qu...

Re: Share your attitude/characterisitic :)

Hm...Interesting test. I got generous idealist , which I found amusing because most people would call me neither generous nor an idealist. Did anyone else get both low masculinity and low femininity? (Well, my masculinity score was 11 times my femininity score, but still...) I actually like the idea...

Re: What are showstoppers in completed VN announcements

Just a thought, but one of the biggest factors in file size is music. Music files in some games can be absolutely huge. I'm often willing to sacrifice a little bit in sound quality for hours saved in download time. It might be worth it to release two separate versions of the game, one larger file wi...

Re: What are showstoppers in completed VN announcements

It's a combination of factors for me. If the description of the game is vague, with no screenshots, plot description, or character profiles, I would hesitate before downloading it, and would probably pass entirely if the file size is large. I don't see it worth my time to download a 100+ megabyte fi...

Re: Sitting down and actually writing...

So true about exams--I'm feeling the incredible urge to work on my novel right now, but I need to study and work on several papers instead. It's just not satisfying at all. Maybe I'll just have to do as Auro-Cyanide suggests, and just write now and deal with the consequences later. :) When I'm writi...

Wow, I'm glad that so many people enjoy Avatar: The Last Airbender. I loved that show, and I'm already excited for the follow-up. :D My other favorites include Disney and Pixar movies of course, and Don Bluth (Thumbelina, anyone?), Daria, Arthur, and classic Nickelodeon shows (Hey Arnold! especially...

Re: Sitting down and actually writing...

My productivity depends a lot on the setting and time of day. If I'm tired or stressed after a long day of class and work, I might need to waste an hour surfing the web, watching TV, or talking to my roommate before I can actually sit down and do something useful, like homework, studying, or in this...
