Re: VN characters and devices in other genres

For some reason this also reminds me of this topic: Visual Novel Cameo Circle? I tend to make a distinction between cameos and proper crossovers - as in, cameos are at best background references or skin alternatives to things that wouldn't work any differently without them, while a proper crossover...

VN characters and devices in other genres

I have some fondness for crossover games, especially when it involves moving characters and devices to completely different types of gameplay while still retaining their uniqueness. I'm fond of fighting games, so it's been interesting to see characters from games like platformers and RPGs make it to...

Re: Considering it

As you say, I also do believe that it would make a game less appealing to the community on this platform. I will consider your opinion as a positive attribute to non-adult content. Another aspect of adult content is gore / blood / violence. Do you have any particular opinion or example of scenes to...

Re: Ideas Dump

I saw an OP for an otome game where the protagonist looked a little, to my eye, like Hotaru Tomoe. Which made me wonder - are there any such games where you are playing the Dark Magical Girl? You are the daughter of the Big Bad, part of his/her plans to Take Over The World. By day, you pretend to h...

Re: How Do I Manage To Not Be Offensive In This Situation?

@Loona : You are right. That is wrong of me to not think of something in her past that was negative to cause her to be this way, and I should make her more positive on other topics (maybe she could disagree with people invading other's business/not believing other people's life choices that are dif...

Re: How Do I Manage To Not Be Offensive In This Situation?

You're outright labeling a character as irrational - while her attitude on the topic may not be pleasant it may just be a matter of her focus being in other issues, and her particular and more recent experiences with the topic at hand being negative, and therefore she may keep her distance and act d...

Re: Long Live The Queen (sim, commercial)

If you click on the ? next to people's heads when they're talking, it gives you some overview information on what Elodie currently knows about that person, including immediate family members. The whole family tree is too snarled to visualise easily, though! (Someone's made a detailed one on Steam, ...

Re: Long Live The Queen (sim, commercial)

I found this through Extra Credits, and it was a pleasant surprise - by default I stay away from anything with pink-haired girls, with few exceptions, and this exception was certainly worth it. I recall comments in the Steam forum about a lack of an in-game world map, which is probably hard to add t...

Re: How do you advertise/present a VN with a secret twist?

A possible way is to use the subtlest possible visual clue in any visual material - what that may be, of course, depends a lot on what you're going for. A fun example that comes to mind is the Sons of Abraham expansion for Crusader Kings II - the official blurb for it was pretty run-of-the-mill for ...
