I second everything in this thread. - You don't NEED an artist, you WANT an artist. - I second the 'Show Your Work' stance. (AKA: Show what you have done before asking what they can do, AKA: "I'll show you mine, now you show me yours," from the recruiter's perspective) - Don't limit yours...

Late due to coding and testing? Hmm, maybe I have more useful experience than I'd imagined, in that regard...

Hey everyone, just signing the guestbook. I'm Nick, or Shotgun Ninja, whichever you prefer. I'm 20, from Milwaukee, WI, US, and I am a student and intern of Software Engineering (with a focus on game development), as well as a huge anime nerd. My hobbies include (occasional) cooking, cleaning, doing...

Thanks for the input; I actually just recruited our first artist, and I have some friends willing to help with the initial writing. I'm going to be doing some more "field research" this weekend ($50 and a few internet friends later...), and I'm digging through writing resources such as thi...

Wow, thank you both. I'm glad I sat down and wrote out some crap, since the response I'm getting can only help. But keep in mind that the point of this pilot was never to be final; I'm still rather new at this, and I appreciate any feedback I can get. I will be noting all of this, and refining these...

Wow, thank you both for the replies. Writing in prose is certainly not a bad way to get story development started. Now... are you thinking about using prose with Ren'py? It is possible, but it would not be easy. You can take one to three sentences' worth of prose and use relevant images. I've actual...

Hey everyone, I've been working on setting up preproduction for an amateur BxG ren'ai project, set during an American anime convention, which I'm tentatively calling Con'Ai. Discussion thread here: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=14276 Project pitch: https://docs.google.com...

Update: I've developed a quick snippet of the story, available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vt3c-RjT0PbTm1F47DzGMMZlhWiBVt6tLSEy7FQf4Cg/edit I'm also now looking for people who would be interested in producing artwork or music, at this point; so far, I'm the only one who's committed to ...

Are you dedicated enough to work on your project for "18-24 months" (as you said in your design document)? I'm hoping to have it in progress for that long, but I have no idea how long I should spend on it. I was more hoping for 6-12 months for at least a workable proof-of-concept, or mayb...

I've recently had an idea for a visual novel set during an American anime convention. From the amount of stories I've heard and experienced at conventions, I figured that it would be an interesting concept, and I thought I would give it a try, even though I'm new to the game development scene. I'm s...
