Re: ANN Answerman 2011-04-1

Is there any medium that can provide everything a KN does and is easier and cheaper to make? Serious question. I agree that KN probably aren't going to create a big VN boom, but I don't think anyone making them believes they will. I think people make KNs for, what I'm going to assume, is the same r...

Re: ANN Answerman 2011-04-1

@Taleweaver Honestly, there are so many games in which you cannot get a "true" game over I'm unsure why you're quoting that as the reason it's a VN. I play RPGs, and when I fail, some of them let me try again...ad infinitum. It's not a particularly VN-related trait. @LateWhiteRabbit Life s...

Re: What do you think about commercial game that use free as

Everyone is up in arms when it isn't their money on the line. That's my entire month's paycheck as an engineer, plus some, that just went down the drain because it didn't turn out well. When I worked at Wal-mart, that would have been 6-8 months of pay. Heck, my entire argument is assuming you HAVE ...

Re: ANN Answerman 2011-04-1

@ Jack Oh, trust me, I never listen to those people, and but it's not just lemma I've seen it on. At any rate, even some of the really awesome JP indies who have notoriously awesome games don't bother with mass amounts of 2-D or 3-D animation and still sell quite on the high end. And since they can,...

Re: Non Linear Script - What's your method?

I do what papillon does; start with a common branch and figure out decisions that give you a few extra scenes with a certain character that will take you down their road, and if you make those options that's where your story heads. Then I write the paths for each character from there. For Mitsumata,...

Re: ANN Answerman 2011-04-1

@ Flowerthief While having a VN between a game and an anime sounds great, Shira Oka's rather mediocre implementation of this has honestly shown why EVNs aren't doing full on animation yet. Anime level animation for just one minute can take the cost of your game and double it. The cheapest quote I've...

Re: [Updated Pictures 4/1/11] Papa Pirate, Baby Bandit.

Honestly, the world of Papa Pirate, Baby Bandit isn't particularly complex. There are sort of miniplots within it, but the game is primarily a raising sim, and it's also made to be an introduction to the world that will get explored in much more detail in Mitsumata. We will explain some details on M...

Re: ANN Answerman 2011-04-1

Yep. I pretty much agree with him. Even VNs with just a bit of a gameplay side tend to do better than "pure" VNs. My group is revamping Mitsumata to have more gameplay than originally decided because of this sort of basic truth about Westerners and VNs.

Re: [Updated Pictures 4/1/11] Papa Pirate, Baby Bandit.

Persephone IS a Siren, of the luscious singing type, though she can sing both men and women into her clutches (not particularly to kill for funsies, but Siren are primarily carnivorous like all Majin). As the Queen, she's also blessed with a large amount of physical strength and could probably rip t...

Re: [Updated Pictures 4/1/11] Papa Pirate, Baby Bandit.

It really depends on how fast programming moves this month, but if not in the initial game, then a patched "bonus" section that allows you to see all the pictures and hear all the music you get from the main menu after completing at least one run-through. :)
