Re: How many words should I aim for?

Just to add my 2 cents, In the past I've agonized over the length of the stories I wrote because I was always worried about whether or not someone would read the story if it were too long. I gimped myself with this for years, and my writing suffered as a result. Sure you can learn a lot by trying to...

Returning to offer editing, content review for free projects[Closed][Free]

Hello Lemma Soft Forums! It's only been six years but it feels like a lifetime :D Starting today I hope to return to the forums and become a more active user, starting by offering my skills as a writer in the form of editing/proofreading and content review. Before we get started here are the service...

Re: The Man and His Shell [kinetic novel] [fantasy] [horror]

Thank you to everyone who played and commented on this VN. I intended to comment earlier but I wanted to hold of until I thought I was making enough progress on my next effort. By that I mean, yes, I am currently in the process of making my next Mystic Grimoire Visual Novel! This story will be rathe...

Re: Serious Question TIme: Can guys write otome games?

Wow this got a lot of attention very quickly. Let me start by saying thank you to everyone who is giving me feedback on this. I think I have isolated a few reoccurring themes in your responses that I'll be able to put to good use when the time comes. A little more about me: I am pretty confident in ...

Serious Question TIme: Can guys write otome games?

This has probably been asked before so if you have to point me at the general accepted guys and otome games post before promptly showing me out the door I wouldn't be angry. But I wanted to ask this myself for a few reasons. Lately I have found it enjoyable to write stories that follow a female prot...

Re: Seeking A Project Team

In one sense, your proposal may be a welcome one. There are many writers and programmers who prefer to work alone because they find involving other people to be a hassle. If as a producer you stepped forward to handle all of the coordination and people problems so that the individuals could do what ...

Re: The Man and His Shell [kinetic novel] [fantasy] [horror]

Thank you very much for your critiques. Much of the problems that have been pointed out are ones I am already somewhat aware of (such as the nvl mode font. I had already optimized everything for it though so I didn't care to change it.) and I think I would classify this more as a thriller than a hor...

Re: The Man and His Shell [knetic novel] [fantasy] [horror]

Getting the pacing right has been a big challenge for me in all of my writing recently, and yes, the dialogue between Astrid and Elly was added only recently. I felt like I didn't want the scene to drag on for too long, but it's hard for me to gauge how the scene will be received, so thanks for the ...

Re: Which aspects do you do?

For me, it's definitely simpler to do everything myself, but that doesn't really mean easier. I'm just starting out on the Lemma Soft Forums and I've moved a bunch recently so I don't have much of a community to call upon. That said, I am a writer at heart and am perfectly comfortable coding for my ...

Re: PRODIGY - episode 1 - [HORROR, MYSTERY]

Just downloaded and played through the game. Overall I would say you have a lot of potential here because of the simple yet easy to understand concept but as many others have said, it's too short. I found myself surprised that the story was so short even though all of that great art was already made...
