I think dividing it up into chapters/sections is probably a good idea. (I am assuming you mean in-game as opposed to splitting it up into different pieces.) It gives people a place to stop for the night or to get up and take a break to get tea or something. Technically this also gives them a point t...

For example: lets say that the bar has 30 points, you need +20 for the good ending, 10+ for normal, and -10 for bad Is it possible to get +9 to -9 points? If so, what ending do you get then? (A sort of catch-all, "Well, a lot happened, but I feel like nothing's really changed." ending?) T...

Of course. Even professionals with decades of experience and awards question their work. Everyone wants to be better and if you don't ask yourself questions, you won't think about what you're doing, and you won't learn. Just don't let it STOP you from writing, because then you're not even learning s...

Hmm. Not a single feather ruffled, it seems. If you say they don't use the medium to its fullest potential. (None that I've seen have, anyway.) and then since I don't play very many KNs, that would be why I don't see much in it then what's the point? My point was essentially, "I stopped readin...

I hang out on a couple of other general gamedev forums... They still think that.

Saw this on Tumblr the other day and was badly tempted to throw my hat into the ring, but I'd feel more comfortable teaming up with someone after I've completed something of my own first. (Especially as I'm probably less familiar with coding than you are. D: ) Good luck with the project! Looking for...

What I'm about to say may come across as "accusatory" or as if I'm talking directly about the people in this thread. I'm unlikely to be talking specifically about anyone who's actually active in the forums anymore, so please don't take what I'm saying personally. I've spent a good amount o...

Fully in support of the idea of ace/aro characters - just in general. Is that what you want your game to be about or are you just going to create a story/stories that don't have romance on the table at all? (Obviously, you could make many games of either type - I'm just not sure if you know what you...

I'm using Clip Studio Paint (also known as Manga Studio) and using a vector layer is just as easy as using a raster layer. I used to spend a lot of time inking by hand because that was 10000x easier for me than inking digitally. Since using CSP, I have only inked by hand in my sketchbook. Inkwork in...

If you're set on using the visual novel format (as opposed to straight up text game), then I expect there is some degree of visual component, however indistinct. There are different types of blindness, after all, and some of them do mean having something other than complete blackness. Even if the bl...

Oh, man. Haha. Trust me - I know the pain of staying on-topic over an extended period of time. (Conversations are meant to evolve!) I'd have to agree that those would be the more difficult ones to do! (Don't get me wrong - I had fun with the very casual chats too. It helped me "get to know"...

I almost never enjoy the "shouta"/younger character route, so I'm not really going to be good at explaining why they're appealing to those who like them. I gather that Moonbyte's reasoning is correct for many players, though. For me, the only "shouta" type characters I like are t...

I actually found the podcast in the first place because of Pytom's tweet about that episode! I've been out of the community for awhile, so I hadn't heard of it before and ended up listening to them in a span of about three days. (As a result, I'll probably want to listen to a few of them again, beca...

I think what most readers respond to is not the trope, but the common qualities of characters with that trope. For example - the megane (glasses guy). He's usually cool natured, capable, intelligent, and dependable. These are all positive (or at least neutral) qualities. Some people like the megane'...

All I can say is I hope I can successfully pull off what I intend in the game I'm working on right now. In my game, the hero can be either your friend or your potential lover. I don't want to make either option feel like the "wrong" or "lesser" version. The whole point of the gam...
