Re: for expierenced NV developers/creators, what would you say to a first time VN creator?

The advice I'd give in response to your thread title will probably help you suss out the answer to the question in your thread body. Make a VN and all the assets yourself before starting your "real" project. And by that, I mean do a thirty second story where you create all the parts. Writi...

AnimeFest (GameFest) 2019 - Dallas TX

Woo, last minute thread, but I figured I'd post here for anyone interested. https://gamefest.org/ AnimeFest has long been a hub for indie VN developers, but this year is a liiiiittle bit different. They've split off into two cons that will be running at the same time - AnimeFest, and GameFest. The c...

Re: I need about a hundred wishes that might be asked from a Genie.

I would wish for mundanely magical, but useful things like a camel that won't ever get sick, or a neat dress that's always fashionable. Perhaps a well that never runs dry. A sword that sharpens itself? (That sounds like a bad wish about to ruin someone's day.)

Re: Hey there ^^

Ooh, some cool thoughts (also, welcome to the forum!) I don't know of an in depth study of it, but I think you'll find most visual novels are blocked more like a stage play than a movie. All the players in the scene are visible on the stage at the same time, and they enter and exit the stage as the ...

Re: Some VN games has no music?

I wrote one a while back: [text] - A Summer Story is designed not to have music, but there are sound effects.

Typically, I think music can help add depth to a story, but it's just another tool that you can choose to use or not use.

Re: Is Lemmesoft Dying

Hello! I'm still around and I show up daily to do moderator duties, but it's rare for me to post as much because I sink most of my time into dev these days. I see a lot of chatter on twitter and Discord, mostly. And I spend a lot of time looking at everyone's portfolios in the for hire section. So i...

Re: Ren'Py @ 15

Wow, I had only been around for a year as of your 5th year post. Feels wild that it's already 15. I'm happy to see how much the community has grown over the years. Looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.

Hello, I'm the mod who removed them - I apologize for not sending you a message along with it. That's my fault.

Re: Clean VN Recomendations

Self-promotion time, ahoy. Here's some stuff I wrote. You might like it? Ripples - Super short slice of life. Bonus: same artist as Autumn's Journey. Jisei - Murder mystery game, although it's pretty light on the blood as well. No romance scenes. First in a series. If you like this one, you might li...

Re: Voice Actor Recruitment Question

There's a pretty low chance of that happening, but if you're worried about making the information public, you can always do a closed casting call. Basically, inform people you are casting, and request actors email a demo reel or audio samples, then listen to all of them, pick your favorite voices, a...
