Re: Using Songs That I've No Right To

I wouldn't do friends at cons...that gets really close to distribution. I also wouldn't give the pirated music version to anyone you don't trust not to redistribute the game. The RIAA are a bunch of petty, vindictive folks and they will come after you if they get wind of what you are doing. Alright...

Questions on Overall Presentation

I'm in the process of creating my very first Visual Novel, and I'd like some tips on what people like from it, presentation-wise. I must admit, this is my first real attempt at programming, so I'm not too good at it, and the more I see of the incredibly top-notch VNs on this website, the more I feel...

Re: Using Songs That I've No Right To

No one's going to stop you from giving a game with whatever music you want to your buddies, but I'd suggest using the royalty free tracks if you release it to the general public. If your game hits it big, then someone might notice and slap you with a cease and desist. Alright, so my two version ide...

Re: Using Songs That I've No Right To

I am not passing moral judgement. But I will tell you, it is illegal. And you could get sued, fined, and given a cease and desist from your band's record company. Yes, I thought about that, and even considered making two different versions of the game with different soundtracks(One to distribute to...

Using Songs That I've No Right To

Alright, this is going to be kind of blunt and kind of, probably, a frowned upon idea, but... I'm currently making a Visual Novel, and though it's still fairly early in development, one of the things that I wanted to do with it was use an entirely Trip-Hop soundtrack. Now, my game will be completely...

Re: Guilty Pleasure Anime

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0shcps4Qt1r8l3wco1_500.png The Umineko anime, without a single doubt. I love the VN, it's my absolute favorite of all time, but damn is the anime awful on every possible level. The writing was awful, the characterization was non-existent, the art-style was gross, the...

Re: Top 5 Favorite Visual Novels

Ack, it's not like mine haven't already been said, but here: 5. 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors This was one of my first Visual Novels, though, at the time, I didn't really consider it a Visual Novel. It's just such a perfectly atmospheric game, it's breathtaking. I can still hear the music, the creakin...

Re: Telltale Games (The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, etc

Is it bad that I used to be a huge fan, but haven't played any of their recent stuff? I've been with them way back, ever since their failed adaption of the Bone comics, and followed them up to about Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse. The Devil's Playhouse was amazing, and is probably one of my favo...

Re: Whats your favorite VN on PSP

If you can read Japanese, Umineko is a perennial favorite. Other than that, though, I think most translated VNs are on the DS or Vita- Other people have mentioned Danganronpa, which is a ton of fun, and Steins;Gate, which is a pretty hugely popular game you've likely already heard of, is coming out ...

Re: Guestbook

Howdy, dunno if this thread is even used anymore, but I'll introduce myself anyway. You can call me Mr. Dent . I'm an enormous 07th Expansion fanboy, and I'm taking a crack at developing a Visual Novel myself. This is my first time developing a Visual Novel, so I'll probably be here often, asking fo...
