Re: Psychotic Characterization

Naturally it's all about execution. It's easy to screw it up though (again, Heavy Rain). Also "researching" definitely doesn't mean "get a Master's degree in it". A quick Google search will get you a long way . If the character must be a psycho, sure. Just don't use that as a thr...

Re: Psychotic Characterization

This is one of those tropes that people tend to fall back on more often than they should. People trying to portray mental instability without any prior experience in the field of psychology or without the proper research will create a character which makes people roll their eyes. If your character c...

Re: Selling securely?

I sincerely doubt DRM is "worth it" for individual designers or indie developers. I think the most effective approach might be a disclaimer in the game saying: "Thanks for purchasing this product! If you have acquired this game in any other way, please keep in mind that blood, sweat a...

Re: How do you achieve motivation?

It sounds easy to remember, but it's an art to communicate. Proper communication will solve a lot of issues and it's u...

Re: Guestbook

I think you meant "latter", not "former". I doubt anyone's praising the crappy dating sims of the 90s. Have you played 999? It's the prequel to VLR. Anyway, VNs are a medium, not a genre - and, like any medium, it's 90% crap. There are some excellent ones, though. Hah! Indeed I ...

A simple Google-search later and I found this forum and figured that I might pick something up that'll be useful for the game I...
