Re: Cavaliers & Carnivals [KN][fantasy/adventure, friendship

The art is what sold me on this game--it's stunning! And the storyline seems interesting too. Looking forward to this!

Re: Branching variables

In my current WIP, I include branching while I'm outlining a story, and usually the branches occur when a character is faced with a plot-altering choice (either action or dialogue). The way I choose is just by considering where I would have had to make the decision for my MC in a linear novel becaus...

Re: Would my KN be considered 18+?

Thanks guys for the responses! They've been very helpful. I think I might have to go the route of making a two versions of this. I'm really not fond of the idea though - I feel like without the sex scenes the player would be missing some important content. So how do I make a toned down version with...

Re: Would my KN be considered 18+?

I would also go by the established rating system in your country as a reference for how to label your game. They usually classify explicit content as adult. If you decide to include explicit nudity/sex scenes in your games you should consider it an adult game, regardless of whether they are relevant...

Re: Basing a VN on a historical figure?

Jack the Ripper is a really popular figure to incorporate in entertainment. I've seen that same Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper game mentioned earlier as well as another straight up Jack the Ripper game (neither one of which I've played). He also pops up as inspiration in a lot of different TV sh...

Re: Why can't I finish my game?

I'd hazard that if someone's getting paid, it's really part of their job description to be motivated to earn their pay. Not necessarily, especially if everything is "at will". What if this were a corporate job? You pay your employees, therefore, you expect them to complete the work. Usually said em...

Re: What was your first story?

The first story I wrote which got some recognition was an assignment I completed in 7th grade. It was a suspense story titled "The Death of Jelly-Filled Doughnut Joe" and it won the classwide contest.

Re: Writing Experimentation

I experiment with different genres, styles, and forms of narratives all the time, and have been fairly successful in my dabbles. I really enjoy writing across genres, so being familiar with multiples genres is important to me. I'm most comfortable writing flash and short fiction, so creating a VN is...

The Tales of Aegasia [Fantasy][Twisted Fairy Tale]

KingOliver and I have teamed up to create our first visual novel. We've been working on it since June 2014 and although we've steadily been adding and hashing and rehashing, progress has been kind of slow. I'm hoping this thread will keep us motivated to continue working. *Although I listed this as ...

Re: Would you play commercial VN without voices?

I prefer reading to listening so I never listen to voices. It's way too slow and I'm too impatient to wait for them to finish. I don't even like waiting for the text to finish scrolling onto the screen. I actually prefer games without voice acting as I find the voices detract rather than enhance the...
