Thank you so much! Let's hope the rest (i.e. backgrounds and CGs) won't be too disappointing in comparison.
I've never seen the film, except for some fragments in a youtube video which, yes, was traumatising. I'm one of those people who always have to read the book first.

Re: English pronouns (a question to native speakers)
Yes, I could, in this particular example. I was just illustrating a point. I've pretty much given up on 3rd person narration, despite the fact that I really don't like writing in 1st person. 1st person also poses the problem of bringing no attention whatsoever to the narrator's gender – or lack ther...

Re: Leap [VN][NaNo2013][friendship][adventure]
Who can resist cute animals? Hopefully the endings wont be too bloody... lol The level of bloodiness varies. I don't think it's too bad. And thank you! I'm glad you like the sprites. Your picture of dog doesn't make him seem to be a humourless jerk though. His tongue's out, his tail's lifted, he lo...

Re: English pronouns (a question to native speakers)
Definitely "they". I have a friend who is agender and their preferred pronoun is "they". "They" is agender and both plural and singular, having been used as singular for the last 200 years or so. The only problem you'd come across when using "they" would be i...

Re: Leap [VN][NaNo2013][friendship][adventure]
Thank you! I was kind of scared I'd be the only one all excited about fluffy rabbits having adventures. In all honesty, this concept was supposed to keep me from stretching the story too much, and from making it too serious. Also I've never really drawn animals before, so I wanted to practice. Would...

Re: English pronouns (a question to native speakers)
The story in question, "Leap" , looks like it's going to be a short fable-like story. A lot of fables don't give the animals names, just refer to them by whatever animal they are: Fox, Dog, Rabbit, etc. I think that this would be a good stylistic choice. (If I've misinterpreted the themes...

Re: English pronouns (a question to native speakers)
Thank you for being so thorough. Neither of them are female. Rabbit is just... confused. I'd like to go with the least marked pronoun, which is a problem in English. 'It' kind of clashes with the whole personification idea, 'she' is a)marked and b)not really true. 'He' seems like the best, most gene...

Re: Leap [VN][NaNo2013][friendship][adventure]
This project is very much an experiment and yes, it's been fun so far. Rabbit is the most challenging character, because his face is particularly inexpressive, but it gives me so much freedom in how I choose to represent emotion. Of course, there's the danger that I won't be able to make it clear en...

English pronouns (a question to native speakers)
The main (and only) characters in my NaNo project are a rabbit, a fox and a dog. So far I've been referring to them all using 'he', but I suspect I might be biased, because in Polish the problem doesn't exist: the words for fox, dog and rabbit are all masculine, and it's very natural to use the masc...

Re: Fire in the Night [Espionage][Fantasy] (NaNoRenO 2013ish
The main character is a cynical and world-weary spy whose greatest weapon is his cunning and abilty to lie through his teeth, so the player can always decide to betray anyone if they feel like it! Love this idea! I think it's really nifty when story/characterisation influences gameplay like this. A...

Re: Leap [VN][NaNo2013][friendship][adventure]
Draw the sprites how you like--but I just want to say I love the style! I can't wait for more progress because this looks so fun and interesting~ I'm really glad you like it :) And thank you so much for the encouragement! Sprites like these would be cute, Fox's pose and coloring especially. Thank y...

Leap [VN][NaNo2013][friendship][adventure]
Leap – a story about friendship and courage that's... 100% likely to end bloodily (but there are good endings!) Apathetic about life, Rabbit has never bothered to venture far outside of his/her favourite clearing. Rabbit's self-imposed loneliness ends abruptly when a vicious fight takes Fox and Dog ...
Re: Guestbook
Hello. I'm a student of English from Poland (if anybody wants to talk about historical morphology, I'm game). I've only discovered my interest in VNs a little while ago, so I'm still learning. I like to write and draw, though I'm good at neither, and I'd love to learn some programming.

Re: A little help with english grammar...
I'm Polish, and let me tell you, there's nothing quite like the inflectional system of a Slavic language. As for the original question, both “living room” and “bedroom” are compounds, actually. My guess is that they are spelled so differently because of phonology. “Bedroom” has pretty straightforwar...
