What if we change the lyrics to different words but with sort of the same meanings? For example, first two lines are roughly the same meanings as the original: "Pip pip, I have just glanced at your visage, this is preposterous, but here's my telegraph key, So Morse code me, perhaps?" But w...

Ahem! So I signed up in Paypal(using my mom's credit card, when she heard I'll *probably* make at least 30% of my allowance, she gave it away like it's worth nothing 8) ). Actually, you can sign up for paypal with your own bank/savings account, at least in my country. If your mum is anything like m...

I really like Eileen holding the octopus cat on the Ren'Py homepage. The two of them look impossibly cute there. And I also think it would be cool if we had a shirt where it's a large panel of as many Ren'Py novel characters squeezed in, either onto the front or back. With their creator's consent, o...

What!? Really!? It really... Even now it looks like a fox. ^throws hands in the air^

Congratulations, Kato! You win, uh.... A cat?

So, erhm it's a she, right?

Hmmmm, okay. I suppose in the current market living off merchandising isn't possible. And, I really like Deji's idea of a unified market for simple merchandise. It would save VN makers time to go check the quality of everything and help fans of the genre save on shipping costs. I can't begin to tell...

Actually, I just had an epiphany about something. Probably the reason why the merchandising option works for tv shows is because they release in an episodic format every week, so the "stickiness" for the characters and stories are higher. Has there been any VNs which are released in an epi...

I guess I have more faith in merchandising for the future of VNs because of one thing - piracy. Unfortunately, it's something that's always going to be there because we're dealing with a digital medium. And I believe that as technology advances further, and people get more used to computers, and wel...

Argh, no go again. Just to be sure I've been doing it right, I'm supposed to click on the file with Eileen's face as the icon, right? Or should I load up my own renpy and try from there?

Wow! Your art is great. Downloading. Hope it works. My mac's pretty old, so some VNs can't be read.

Well, I guess I do have to apologise for being overly sarcastic. I just found some of the way the viewpoints were brought up extremely rude so I reacted to that. My mistake. Though, admittedly, my first post in this thread was said more out of jest/satire rather than sarcasm. But this thread was hel...

Hmmm, it's usually too hot to wear black over here. But I like the font on the black shirt.

Actually, with the fox positioned in that way, won't he look like he's poking at our boobs/manboobs?

My money's on fox as well. I don't think it's a dog, right?

Now I'm waiting for technology to let me pet it through the screen.

Oh wow, I've actually been thinking on this topic for a few days, and I do believe for VNs this might be a viable business model in future. The best example of this formula working is cartoons. For example, all those anime shows are basically free to air on tv so that people will buy the merchandisi...

As opposed to phonetically appealing Japanese names? And functionally suitable for the setting the VN maker wants to write in? You realise it's a matter of taste? Go ahead and use yolo, by the way. No one's stopping you. In comparison to some people in the thread here who are saying all Japanese nam...

Actually, I'm starting to wonder if it's because we're confused about the target market for VN types. Because games, books and movies have so many more years on VNs, they've had time to gather diverse options in each category and it's pretty clear where their lines are drawn. For example, I wouldn't...
