I was personally awed by the plot. I guess I'm not used to long and detailed military styled kinetic novels. That's a good thing, by the way. The story is detailed, though lacking in a few areas, and it is an amazing accomplishment for a one-person project, and for your first visual novel. Well, th...

Um... Actually there are ah... two more bugs which I forgot to write before. Some times, the image hide or clear function does not work or you forgot to add it because sometimes (1 or 2 out of 10) images overlap. It turns quite messy. And sometimes the name tag (I honestly don't remember what it is...

Really good storyline and graphics. I really liked Iris and Terrance comments. Made me laugh, really hard. Just a little bug. Chapter 4 pic appears again and again in the place of other chapter pics. Like you are starting Chapter 5, but the logo is of Chapter 4. But keep it aside, its a good game. ...

Congrats on the release. Any chance we can get a slightly longer description of the game? Especially for a long game, it's hard to judge if we want to play it with a one-line description. Ah, of course. Sorry for making it so short, I tried to make it more informative now. Hopefully I succeeded, su...

Thought static was exactly the same thing, but I changed it.

Summary: Vortex follows Rachelle Scarrett as she joins her country's military. There are both friends and enemies to be made. Among the people she meets are Chris, a friendly pilot-in-training and Terrence who is renowned for not being particulary friendly. When Rachelle eventually moves up in the r...

Well, I guess I'm more of an average artist than a terrible one (at least I hope I am, haha) so my place may not be in this thread but... I just wanted to say that games with bad art also have succeeded. When I look for a game to play I mainly look for a concept/theme that interests me. Sure, some p...

I wholeheartedly agree that one-sided "bad" guys are no good. I refer to them as "bad" because I think it's a highly subjective term. For instance you have animal rights activists who oppose the hunting of certain animals - on the other hand people make their living by hunting th...

That's a lot of interesting replies! It's fun how everyone seems to have their own process to come up with a character. In my case I generally start with a very rough idea of what role I want the character to fill. I then write down a few traits and simple facts about them. Things like their backgro...

Ooh, that definitely makes things easier. Photoshop is nice~ Okay, here I go. Sorry if I sound too basic and you already knew all this! :p For coloring I suggest (you might do it already) having each color on their own layer, shadows for them on a layer above that. If you do that you can lock transp...

Well, since I gave it a read I might as well offer my thoughts on it. First off, the PDF format, I kind of like it. It takes a bit of time to open and is rather clunky, but somehow I find that it adds to the magazine feel. What I missed was a review section. It seems like a natural thing to include....

When you create a character, how do you go about deciding on their personality and how detailed are you? Do you simply pick a name and choose a few traits or do you include everything down to the color of their favorite socks? Do you borrow traits from people around you or from anime/games/movies? D...

Well, for mine (script is finished, rest is not) I first wrote a rough summary. Then I went a little more into detail and wrote a sentence or two for every scene I wanted to include. After that I started writing and used the summary as checklist to keep track of my progress. I first wrote the whole ...

1. How many games on the Renai Archives have you played? d) 3 to 7 (It's hard to say because I've both downloaded from the Renai archive, the games list on the RenPy wiki and from forum threads. But I guess it's around there.) 2. Of those games that you played, what made you most want to download th...

Generally, if I like a game I like to see all of it. And because of that I think it's nice with numbered endings of the kind "x of y endings". That way it's easier to keep track of how many of them I've seen. Or you could make an "endings" gallery where a picture shows up for eve...
