Lemma Soft Forums

But it ISN'T about creator discussion. The best place, sadly, for it on the forum for a contest celebrating a specific game is in that game itself. I do admit that assuming people would look at it when the thread popped up repeatedly to the top of the completed game forum was presumptuous but it hi...

Same here. I only found out about it when you announced it had ended and it just CRUSHED me because those prizes are amazing. I am still incredibly pissed that I didn't know about this game and contest earlier. *sigh* Perhaps you could've put a link to the contest in your sig (because I've seen you ...

OMG THE ART IS EXQUISITE <3 I love that it's based on a fairy tale that I've never heard of! Glad to see that good progress is being made, and I look forward to playing it! You probably don't need this feedback anymore, but ADV2 is my favorite because it looks so elegant and the way it has a frame m...

Those gameplay vids just triggered flashbacks to the Phoenix Wright games. *sob* This makes me so happy... so happy... I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT SQUEEEEEE

Living Through Disaster This entry opens on a very strong note. The fact that each line appears immediately and completely after each click gives us a sense of bluntness, and there's a sense of forward/downward momentum until we get to the heaviest, shortest line placed strategically at the bottom ...

Hey, I finished reading all of them! Overall, I'm positively surprised at the quality of the entries, but I feel that, unfortunately, there aren't any that I'll remember 'til my dying day . (1) I see what you did thar (2) Do you have a top three already? Or perhaps a handful of candidates for top t...

This is a well-written, thought-provoking piece on the $100 fee and the issue of privilege.

EDIT: I see my joke summaries have already sparked some discussion https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT3-gY-5464uBzKOsHd_iiVnCbrf9fBMlo_k2trSxwxmxaT2lgvFoEBzQ Nah that's just me believing that if anyone who wants to create a comparison of any sort they have to be objective and no...

Hmm, I think for the sake of this competition, simply generalizing may not be a good idea. Yes, you can say a plot is bad (so on and so forth), but it's better to say how it's bad and so on so the writer can improve. Keeping everything to a chart isn't very helpful. ^^; Yeah, the chart's not meant ...

Probably doesn't help that it's hidden away in the "Adult" section together with the porn. Well, Kara no Shoujo has sex scenes too, but that's not exactly the point of it, is it?

Comparison time! Every entry has already had quite a few reviews by now, so I thought it'd be a good time to start comparing and contrasting. I threw up a Google spreadsheet that lists all of the entries, as well as certain qualities that those entries have. I've started us off with basic things li...

I don't have any strong feelings on the issue either way, but the discussion got me curious about what professional writers think about fanfiction, and I found this. It's by Charles Stross, and I found it a fairly amusing read.

Balancing Act (⌐■_■) I'm not a big fan of showing something other than from Garrett's perspective; that's... inelegant, and maybe jarring. True, true. Another option would be to have one branch in which Garrett is murdered by Mr. Coworker; and another in which Garrett travels back in time, everythi...

Balancing Act (⌐■_■) So the final structure should look like this: superficial choices -> main storyline reworked to include Mr. Coworker -> more superficial choices -> interesting time travel storyline where the superficial choices pay off -> branching into different endings I don't agree with you...

Balancing Act ...WHOAH. That... was certainly something. Yeah, that's the main issue I was trying to get across in my review — this is some of the best use of choice I've ever seen, but at the same time also the most troublesome and you have to luck into the right ones and perhaps in the right orde...
