Re: Diverse Character Dilemma
I guess I shouldn't have used the word "responsibility" in that post.

Re: Best Election Ever
Pretty funny idea. This reminds me of a Creationist Cat video about him being in the Republican Debates.

Re: Harvest Moon Games
My first HM games was Friends of Mineral Town. Its music will later become my nostalgic triggers. I played a Chinese translation of it, and I made it to the 10th year and married Popuri. I also read its strategy guides extensively, and made it to the 255th level of the mine while taking everything a...

Re: Diverse Character Dilemma
John Oliver once said this (look up "Corporations on Twitter" to remind yourself how bad screwups can be): "Your silence is never going to be controversial." Applying that advice to diversity in fiction, it means that if you think you are going to "get some things wrong"...

Re: Vector or Raster? What Art Program Do You Use?
I have tried to use Inkscape for digital anime art. I converted strokes to geometry so I can manually tweak line widths. I'm OK with the mouse because I have very sharp intuitions about cubic Bézier curves. The coloring and shading are very precise, and blending is doable with gradients and blurs. H...

Re: Ideas Dump
Larry Niven's The Magic Goes Away uses magic as allegory of the non-renewable energy petroleum, and near the place I'm living in (guess), there is an issue over building the oil pipeline, so I'm thinking of a MAGIC PIPELINE . The magic pipeline was proposed to sell magical energy to the Land of Wuta...

Re: "Children's Games." A visual novel about TCG Players
Speaking of "children's card game", is the overall tone of the story be Serious Business (as how TVTropes describe Yu-Gi-Oh anime), or it's a parody? Designing the rules and cards of the trading card game is important, but you said it's a small-scale project so maybe there won't be any det...

Re: Ideas Dump
I was thinking about Dragon Ball and how it started relatively small scale and eventually came to a point where a single character can destroy a planet, when I came up with this idea: It starts off on earth which is being controlled by a tyrant with the ability to affect gravity, and thus can make ...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^
Trying to find time to draw, and I have mostly succeeded finding an art schedule. I'm focusing on different poses by finding references online.

Re: Novelation - A Visual Novel Tool for Unity
Nice idea! My old Unity visual novel engine I made in high school, which has elaborate indentation parsing, JSON save/load and questionable OO design anti-patterns, died after upgrading the project to newer Unity versions due to broken references, can finally rest in peace.

Re: Ideas Dump
This video is a goldmine of ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKi7CzP9Dxs Here is my idea. Unfortunately, I need a bit of magic and/or high-tech or else I'm stuck.

Re: VN Criticism
The "On Generalists & Specialists" relates to me very well. I'm a programmer who knows nothing about audio and I'm unable to further improve my drawing skills. Because I learned functional programming, I'm thinking of property-testing visual novels so dead characters are never accident...
