Re: Languages!

First language and the language I speak without thinking is American English. Raised (and still living in) the Houston area in Texas, USA, a few of my words have a bit of a twang or Southern sound to them. There's also stuff like "I don't" ending up as "aon't" and "isn't" as "idn't". It's not too se...

Re: Origin of the terms ADV and NVL

A few games that use it: 恋愛初心者どきどき★ADV Genre, from the official site for Nanatsuiro Drops. The downloadable opening reiterates this at the end but with ADV as adventure/アドベンチャー. Flyable Heart, also by Unisonshift Blossom, also uses ADV on its site and in its downloadable OP movie. 恋愛アドベンチャー "Renai (...

Re: Why are you making your current visual novel?

Because I like my OCs. Also because I somehow fell in love with bishoujo games at around 11 years old or so (a totally appropriate age), and have maintained this as an interest since then. So I guess I like seeing my characters come to life in a format I've obsessed over. Though I'm not particularly...

Re: What music to listen to while drawing?

There are several videos that exist on the internet with "working BGM" in the title for the specific purpose of, well, listening to while working. I've been checking out different "eroge song medleys" lately - today's is a KeroQ/Makura one, and for a while here and there just Sakura no Uta on repeat...

Re: BG/Character Art/Scene Enhancement Process

In drawings, I hardly use Photoshop for anything more than resizing nowadays. I usually use the airbrush tool in SAI with some complementary colors opposite each other set to Overlay and low opacity if anything. But, there's some cool stuff you can do with Photoshop: Blur - It's a somewhat sloppy me...

Re: Yuri Game Jam 2016! (Oct 1st to 31st)

I might have some ideas. Involving pastel colors. And frilly dresses. Maybe I'll reread Strawberry Panic while brainstorming or something. I need some sort of deadline in my life anyway, I'm too free.

Windows themes.

Out of those here who use Windows, I was wondering which versions and themes for Windows everyone liked, or if you use a more custom theme? Personally I use Windows Classic on my work computer (Windows 7) and leave the window and taskbar color on auto for my gaming computer (Windows 8.1) which worke...

Re: [paid] Character Art Commissions (sprites, etc.) [0/1]

Just wanted to update - sort of - with a couple examples of what I like to call a "looser" style for lines and colors: https://66.media.tumblr.com/a54bcaf064269875ac7d347bfee8e3a5/tumblr_ocicu8Hfj51t8289fo1_400.png https://67.media.tumblr.com/c0a7c09e319389d3384c40a15c53fada/tumblr_od4mvg4tjD1t8289f...

Regarding compatibility with low-end systems and old OS

A couple of questions regarding old hardware and old operating systems: 1. By default, what versions of Windows can run Ren'Py and its games? Are certain graphics cards required for them to run, as well? 2. Is there a way to change the color mode - can a game be properly run in 16-bit color? Can Ren...

Was surprised I couldn't find such a topic! Also, I've been Google Image-ing a lot of different stuff and felt like sharing. So. The purpose of this topic is to share clothing and outfit references.

Re: Blurry Sprite after Resizing?

I'm not sure about FireAlpaca or GIMP since I don't use those, but in Photoshop CS5, when you resize an image, there should be a checkbox with "Resample Image:" and a dropdown list underneath at the bottom of the window that pops up. Paint.NET has "Resampling:" and the list at the top of the equival...

Re: Blurry Sprite after Resizing?

Which resampling method are you choosing when resizing? To my understanding, I find that Bilinear resampling leaves no blur, but instead, it leaves images rather sharp looking, to the point where it's actually kinda noticeable. And Bicubic will leave a light edge around darker lines (again, can be n...

Chiptune and chip emulation

Expect a little bit of gushing, my apologies. I'm really fond of chiptune, particularly FM music like Genesis and PC98 music, but waves are good too, nice and simple. But I like to be all technical about it, like it bugs me when people use stuff like The NES Soundfont mixed with The Ultimate Mega Dr...
