Nanochange [Whodunit, Soft SF] [Nano2019]

About Classic mystery. Someone got killed, and you must discover who, out of three suspects, has done it. Except it's the future. But not that future where crimes are solved before they're even committed. Instead, technological advancement has obsoleted most physical proofs, from photos to fingerpr...

Re: A simple navigation map tutorial

I may have forgotten about this thread for years, but Google has not (still one of the first results for "Ren'Py imagemap"). So let's do a bit of cleaning by answering all pending questions. First, please have a look at jane_runs_fast's Imagemaps explained by a dummy . It's a far more fres...

Re: Winter Lover [GxG][Modern Fantasy][Short]

Well, that was nice.

Not much more to say. It's a short, uncomplicated, lighthearted, sweet story.

And right now, I won't complain about any extra bit of sugar in my daily life.

Re: Thoughts on Flashbacks with Choices?

As long as the past choices do not contradict anything that already happened in the present, I don't see where is the problem. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's a technique I've seen used to show immediately that your choices matter. For example, a character's shirt is removed, because reasons. Then fl...

Re: Why Yuri games are so unpopular?

Aoi Shiro is overall a good game (a little too slow-paced at the beginning perhaps), but I found it to be slightly disappointing on the Yuri side. A lot of teasing, but very few, if none, explicit relationships. It's not Nanoha-bad on denial, but it's the same idea: never say the world lesbian (or g...

Re: Melos postmortem

Chapter 7: In the end This turned out to be pretty lengthy. Heck, I could probably still go on for some time, but I don't want for this to turn longer than the actual game this is about, so I will stop there. I don't know if it's a useful story, or just me ranting about my life, but like for Melos ...

Re: Melos postmortem

Chapter 6: Aftermath I was taken aback by the first reviews of Melos . Because they were actually quite nice with the game. Far more than I would have myself been had the roles been switched I believe. I rationalized (impostor syndrome or not) that most of them came from Lemmasoft, and that the mem...

Chapter 5: To do what must be done This dark spiral finally ended when the actual coding started. I had somehow managed to produce... a certain number of words. Enough to reach a couple of endings. Many paths were still abruptly cut short, but it was possible to go from the introduction to one of t...

Re: Melos postmortem

Chapter 4: Anger If Twitch plays Pokémon taught me anything, it's that with enough time and energy, anything can be achieved. Even with the most inefficient method. So was done Melos 's writing. Slowly, frustratingly, painfully. Writing, not writing, rewriting, progressing with little steps forward...

Re: Melos postmortem

Chapter 3: Pride I had ideas. I had (self-imposed) restrictions. I had a setting. I had characters. I even had an introduction in mind. But I didn't have a distinct view of how things would evolve or end. In short, I had no real scenario. After the fact, it still bewilders me I thought about a lot ...

Chapter 2: Sloth By this point, I was searching for inspiration a.k.a wandering the Internet and reading things here and there. In particular, Green Eyed Monster left its mark upon me, with its bittersweet ambiance and adult themes. I quickly decided for a really modest project, to be sure it will ...

Re: Melos postmortem

Chapter 1: Envy I heard of the Yuri Game Jam's existence while roaming randomly the Internet at some point in the Summer. The project immediately caught my interest for several reasons. First, of course, because I'm an avid Yuri fan and a regular consumer of interactive fictions and similar formats...

Melos postmortem

I love reading postmortems. Whether the project succeeded or not, I think it's always interesting to have a glimpse of how a project came to be, to learn of the mistakes, the hardships, the decisions that made it as it is now. So I went out of my way and wrote one for Melos too. It's a long text for...

Re: Helena's Flowers[GxG][Sci-Fi][Battle of Troy]

The Trojan War aftermath. From Helen(a)'s point of view. IN SPACE. Also, in a universe where everyone is female. After checking everyone's name on Wikipedia (the mythology geek in me needed to do it), I'm finally ready to review this. The take on this classical story was interesting, with some fasci...
