Re: Handling ace representation in a story that includes sex scenes
I disagree with Applegate. If Virginia was explicitly stated to be asexual in Magical Diary: Horse Hall, younger me wouldn't have been confused as to why her ending ended in a cuddle, and not a kiss. I might have been able to find out that asexuality was a thing many years before I did. If Alvin was...

Re: How do you stay motivated to finish?
My main motivator for finishing things is scoping games down into something that can be completed into a game jam. That's probably not very applicable to your situation though, especially when you already work on it for some weeks before taking another long break. Still, scoping might be relevant in...

Re: What's the best sprite creation method for a beginner?
As someone who has used both methods before, the first method, Full Sprites, may seem simpler at first. You have the exact expressions and you can swap between them. The only hassle comes with your art program of choice, hiding and unhiding layers to make sure the expression is what you want it to b...

Re: What do you like in a VN protagonist?
Hmm. The traits that I dislike the most would probably have to be obliviousness and general naiveté. Some of those traits are okay in small amounts, but when its their whole character its hard for me to take them seriously. Why do they get to be the protagonist? And in dating simulators, what do the...

Re: BAKED:MAGIC [GxG][Yuri Jam][Free][Demo]
1. What do you think of the characters? Are they likeable? Yes! I think all of the characters so far are likeable. I like how Lana is calm and collected, but still has an attitude to her. Her personality is distinct from Jayne, despite them both being quite composed, which is nice to see. There's s...

Re: Turning a dervitive work into an original one
Considering this is Homestuck we're talking about, a webcomic that I can't begin to wrap my head around, you'll really need to make sure your universe can really stand on its own two feet. Do your character's motivations still make sense if you strip away all of the stuff that won't be able to be in...

Re: Writing in 2nd Person?
Second person definitely works better when there's a definite personality. Things that the player wouldn't be able to influence because that's just the way the character is. Second person also works when it's all objective description, things that don't require you to explain what emotion the charac...

Re: !Opinions Needed!- would you play a game with this type of art?
You have quite a nice style, and I would definitely play a Visual Novel with art like that! I agree with everything that has been said. This might already be the case but, I would like to add that you should make sure most parts of the face (eyes, mouth, maybe the hair) should be on seperate layers ...

Re: Taking over someone's WIPs?
Yeah, I agree that you should definitely talk to your friend more about this. This doesn't seem like a situation where one person just takes the WIPs and that's the end of discussion. Or maybe it ultimately is, and they don't care what comes of their ideas because they're not going to use them anywa...

Re: How do you write the manuscript of a visual novel?
Twine is definitely my preferred method because of how you can visually see how everything branches out. Not only that, but because it's an interactive fiction tool of it's own, you can define variables and if statements. In other words, you can have an playable outline! When I work with others, I f...

Re: How would you shade this part (hair)? @_@
Nice work so far! I notice you said the light source is "a bit higher than her height" but you didn't specify what direction. If it's coming from the right, the green circled area makes sense. However, the highlights coming from the left in the section above it, which would indicate that s...

Re: How to make a socially awkward character...interesting??
I think the first question that came into my head when I read your post was "why is the MC dating him in the first place?" Obviously, socially awkward characters are fine, and I'm not saying it doesn't make sense he is. However, the fact that the MC is already dating him means that they've...
