That is clarifying, thank you!

I don't understand why you call movies or gifs "animation files". :D I was just thinking "files that contain animations". =P If there's some other method of animation that is preferred, I'm entirely open to that too. 12 fps sounds very low to be honest. This is traditional hand ...

To be clear, I mean animations like gifs or movies, not animating assets via the normal functions. This is a question before any development begins, trying to figure out potential problems before going to a lot of work. These would be animation-quality assets, so 12 or more frames per second, often ...

I have a user report that I haven't replicated myself, but it is happening regularly for them with a new game. The game crashes or stops responding on start, and isn't fixed until the game's cache folder is emptied - this then occurs repeatedly. I will paste the text dump they sent me below. Could t...

Haha, well, that's clear enough. One last post here to say that the game is coming out today!

A slice of life visual novel with the emphasis on the slicing. Play as a mentally unstable young woman with blood on her hands trying to adapt to a normal life. https://i.imgur.com/Fjdxqeq.png Since my thread for the previous game got a little attention here, I decided to make another one now that ...

Thanks for the responses! I don't see how VNs are different than any other genre of game when it comes to the effects of participating in these bundle deals. The articles you've read sound like they've covered the gammut on the subject, and line up with what I've read myself. I don't have any person...

The internet has many articles discussing the effects that being part of a bundle sale can have on a game: increased exposure, devaluing the game, Steam key problems, etc. However, I didn't see anything specifically about VNs and I wanted to ask the community here. Commercial game makers: have you p...

Hello again, everybody! The game is now released and available on all stores!

I will have to figure this out for myself before too long. So it would be great if anyone posted info, but I'll share what I learn if I get anything figured out myself.

The game is out! Right now it isn't out on all platforms (I'll post the SFW Steam version here later), but everyone can enjoy the trailer, created by the aforementioned Dovakitteh:

Hopping in to say that I hired Dovah to do GUI and video work for my VN, and it went well! They were very willing to rework things and I'm appreciative for everything they did to help me put the game together. ^-^

Hello again! Thanks to sasquatchii and Dovahkitteh , the game's now has a custom GUI! Thanks to both of them. ^-^ Here are some samples: http://i.imgur.com/XtH0X23.png I wanted the screens to just partially obscure the screens underneath: http://i.imgur.com/Z49gaZ7.png As a whole, I went for a shado...

Ooh, this sounds interesting. I'm a fan of the deconstruction of tropes like these. Like others have said, I'm hoping that the treatment of mental illness is handled with care in this vn. I'm also a big fan of the character sprites. Who's the artist? Probably doesn't do a lot of good for me to simp...

Hello, thanks for your feedback! Some responses and questions for further clarification: Since mental illness is at the core of your VN, I would hope that you've done a lot of research into the topic. I'm no expert myself, but for one thing, the characters would not just suddenly 'get better,' i.e. ...
