Re: Asking for opinions about a heroine....

A heroine who is a single parent sounds like an awesome premise, and I'd honestly jump on that game in a heartbeat... but it also sounds pretty hard to write without first-hand experience. So basically, my only concern is, can you pull it off in a way where it remains believable? (I assume you're no...

Re: The Flower Shop: Winter In Fairbrook (GxB, Commercial)

I've bought this game recently, did one playthrough, and so far I'm impressed. The writing in particular stands out as especially good, a real improvement over the first Flower Shop - practically all the characters are very interesting and likeable (though I'm still waiting for Jacob to grow a spine...

Re: Low self-esteem in making a game. What do you do?

(Disclaimer: I do make games for a living, but have never made a VN in particular, so your mileage may vary.) My personal main "big trick" in maintaining motivation is to show my work in progress to as many friends as I can, constantly. It's really amazing what friends can do for motivati...

Re: Love & Life (GxB, BxG, Friendship)

I've just played Love & Life, and wanted to say that I found it pretty enjoyable, thanks facades! I found it especially interesting to have two different playable characters (of opposite genders!) who both interact with the same people, it was a cool way to get to know all the characters better....

Re: Guestbook

Hi everyone! I've recently played a few visual novels, and was surprised at how enjoyable they were. While commenting on some of them, I noticed vague talk about some mythical "Lemma Soft Forums" where all the cool kids would hang out. I google searched that name and ended up here - this s...

Re: Japanese or English names?

Thanks to globalization, it's often perfectly believable to have characters with names of various origins in the same game. Nothing wrong with having a Louise, a Natasha, a Hiromi and a Fatima in the same room for a Montreal setting, for instance. You can even be creative and make up names that just...
