Re: Lycoris [S/LGBT/A] [Otome] [Supernatural/Horror/Romance]

I've just been editing my updates in instead of posting, so I figured I might as well do a 'week one' recap kinda thing so people who aren't lurking know that there's been progress. Progress From 8/14 - 8/21 I did some basic characterization of Saka's love interests and added them to the main post. ...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

-CHARSHEETVN 1.png- I like the second uniform a lot. Out of the three, I also think the first hair style fits her best and would be a little more unique (seeing as the other two are actually very similar to a few popular shoujo leads, so it might be hard to have people relate to your character with...

Re: Length of the game determines the price?

1 movie costs around $10 for around 2hrs. And if it is a blockbuster, then the production costs will be crazy. But I'm still only spending $10 for it...and that is if I go out to the theatre for the full audio/visual experience. I can rent the film for $3. The audience has to be taken into consider...

Re: A Specific Question about Coding Style

If these choices are entirely linear, then using nested menus would save you some time. But do you have multiple answers (or a combination of them) that lead to the same question branch? (Ex- answer1 and answer3 both lead you to question5.) You should use jumps in that case, even if it's just one or...

Re: [Discussion] Where does "own content" start?

How does how much time you spend on it change anything ? If my child spents hours in the woods to find a stone he can give me for my birthday, I would way more happy and proud of it than if he just grabbed that stone outside the moment he realized he forgot my birthday. Time and Effort are valuable...

Re: Past vs Present. Which one?

I prefer that visual novels (especially kinetic novels) are in past tense. I'm used to reading books . Books are almost always in past tense. Whether it's in a digital format with pictures or not, I feel more comfortable reading as if I'm re-living someone else's experiences (even when there are cho...

Re: Seven Stories with Tristram the Tailor [BxB/history/fant

Italian refs for the jacket but swapping the button design/placement to be slightly more eastern, a mix of eastern European refs and Persian recreations for the pants and shoes, and the colour scheme is me cheating flagrantly for the purpose of characterisation. If I was being realistic, his unders...

@BarabiSama-- I'm glad you like his pants! I like to think his pants are even better in colour~ Witness the ostentatiousness! [image] I have a real love of balloon pants, and since I couldn't find any specific references for 12th century fashion outside of Italy and the UK, I decided to give him th...

Re: Seven Stories with Tristram the Tailor [BxB/history/fant

Between the story and art, this sounds like it's going to be a really fun read. Good luck!

(By the way, Sinbad's alternate pants are pretty dayum fabulous - just saying.)

Re: [Discussion] Where does "own content" start?

Ten years is hard. In Germany Top Time is 3 years, if commercially done 5 years. It would be interesting to know the time for other crimes in those states. E.g. in Germany sexual abuse of children is up to 10 years. So I'm having a hard time imagining a case of plagarism as bad as sexual child abus...

Re: [Discussion] Where does "own content" start?

but how are plagiarisms handled legally? In Germany there is no special handling, out of an academic environment of course. In the US, plagiarism is considered a misdemeanor when outside of an educational institution and can lead to: 1) Up to $50,000 in fines (and no less than $100) 2) A lawsuit by...

Re: [Discussion] Where does "own content" start?

Legally you'll never own any of these examples, aside from OC's of course Okay, now why are you making this distinction exactly? If I write a fanfiction about Maria, Thomas and Peter (OCs) that are clearly set within an existing fantasy world (e.g. Star Wars) I couldn't sell that. But if someone el...

I was thinking on your comment, and you're right. At first I thought the only way this could go, but realized having them as young adults would let me branch out further. Also, since it's mature, I think it would be better to have them at least in their twenties. Yuya can still live with a cousin b...

Re: google images in vn?

License filtering on Google isn't really an exact art. A lot of people will post images from other sources and change the license settings (usually because they don't understand how the licensing works). It's better to use proper free use image galleries where you can sort through different licenses...
