Re: Bara Boarders [BxB, Bara, Bara Jam, Light, Short, WIP]

Hey everyone, sorry for the late reply...running BaraJam while working on my own VN and general life stuff has been taking up all my time. However, I do promise to always check up on this and answer ASAP. I'll also be putting up more screenshots and preview stuff as they become available. So look ou...

Re: Where the White Doves Rest [BxB][Mystery][BaraJam]

OMG Hijiri, as soon as I saw the "Horror" tag (aaannnddd I knew you were going that direction through our Discord) I thought YES! I'm glad someone else jumped into the Bara/Horror ring with me. Anyways, like I've mentioned to others before, I love the concept and the imagery associated wit...

Re: Red Embrace: Hollywood [Vampire][Dark][GxB/BxB/NBxB][KICKSTARTER + DEMO]

Sexy trailer! The trailer is adequately dark and it also previews a few mystery characters too, which has got me more intrigued.

To echo Potouto, I'm really feeling this VN rn. Can't wait until it's out~!

Re: Red Embrace: Hollywood [Vampire][Dark][GxB/BxB/NBxB]

Ahhhh I *knew* he’d be House Mavvar lol! Randal (from his shadowy preview before the official character card) was always going to be my pick regardless.

Like a vampire with werewolf tendencies. >_< ~<3 kyaaaaaaa

Re: The Telepathy Club and the Summer Festival [Free] [Otome, Romance, GxB] [Summer Novel Festival]

Hi December! So I just finished this VN last night, and the entire time I was just like “awwww”. :) I think it’s shortness is good and allows the game to keep its charm fresh. I guess I “chose” Noah, although I wasn’t ever aiming to romance him...I just felt bad for him and wanted to try being a fri...

Re: Staying motivated when projects aren't successful?

I’d also like to add, “success” is a completely subjective term to oneself. So Shoji, I guess be honest with yourself with what you would consider a “success” but be warned, massive games like DDLC and even DreamDaddy didn’t chase a massive trend, they became one due to accessibility, popular backer...

Re: The ups and downs of a game's release

Mmm I wouldn’t say ratings are “useless”, I mean if you had a lot of raters with all of them giving you 1star, then that must mean something. However, I wouldn’t put too much credence to them. Like yelp reviewers, I’ve found ppl tend to give things either 5stars (cause they loved it enough to leave ...

Re: BARA JAM 2018

Hey everybody! If you're in the US like myself, I hope you're enjoying the well deserved long weekend/holiday and maybe some of it playing a VN or so lol. I plan to go for a boozy brunch (in California, we refer to this tradition as "Sunday Funday" - an excuse to day drink) and THEN play a...

Re: Red Embrace: Hollywood [Vampire][Dark][GxB/BxB/NBxB]

Oof, color me (red) intrigued. I find myself really drawn to this one, and personally I've never really been into the whole vampire scene. Maybe it's because of the whole "HOLLYWOOD" thing? I think there's already something dark and seductive, lore-wise, regarding Hollywood and so it would...

Re: BARA JAM 2018

@Heiden: I sincerely hope so! Build-A-Boyfriend is a fun, rocky horror-esque comedy and I'm guessing you'll surprise us with a blend of bara/humor this time around. @Hijiri: *chills* ooh, I can't wait! @Boniae: Oh no problem! Actually, the jam seems to be quickly taking a life of it's own. Lately I'...

Re: Ren'Py Jam

RenPy is a great engine, and it definitely deserves it's own official jam. I personally, am not an excellent scripter so I wouldn't exactly say my games push the boundaries of what's achievable in RenPy, heh :P However, as I play more and more VN's made in the engine, I am delighted often at how cre...

Re: BARA JAM 2018

One last thing, I'll be creating a Discord for participants but also for those just generally interested in BaraJam. It'll be a forum for people to shoot the shit, but also come together and find teammates and more!

I'll share that Discord link when the time comes. Thanks!
