Re: ★★★~NaNoRenO 2015 Recruitment Thread~★★★

Hi everyone. I'm looking to help with a NaNoRenO project this year. I'm an editor and proofreader . I can also write, but I really don't like to. I'm best at general support since I'm not the greatest ideas person. As for a perhaps more useful skill, I can translate English to Bogan Australian Engli...

Re: My Angsty Classmates [Otome] [NaNo 2013]

Whoops, people still responding to this thread! I've still got all my assets and since this year I have nothing big to do over March, I might do a little something with this.

Thanks for the replies!

Re: Writing Tip: Finding the THEME ~ Brian McDonald

Not necessarily. Conflict can also come from the environment, like in natural disaster stories or those stories about people lost in the wilderness. It could also come from the protagonist tackling their personal demons. Well, when I wrote my post, I was thinking "antagonist" in a very br...

Re: Writing Stuttering and Interrupted Dialogue

To capitalise or not capitalise is completely up to house rules. Of course some words look better capitalised than not (like "I-I've" pointed out before), but as long as either lower-case or capitalisation is mostly consistent, you can go either way. Em dashes for cutting off is a standard...

Re: Seeking VN narrative help

I turn the corner and spot a door with a sign reading: student council lounge. Turning the corner, there's a door with a sign reading: student council lounge. Be careful with this. You might create dangling participles . (I'm a little out of grammar practice so I'm not entirely sure if the above ex...

Re: Seeking VN narrative help

First person perspective has that restrictive quality of always being stuck in someone's head and, as you've pointed out, sentences start to become very self-centred. Part of a way around that is to go into a prose-like style for a bit and focus on surroundings, observations and actions. In the end,...

Edit: redacted. Wondered where the $0.07+ rate per word came from. Didn't see this was factoring in giving up rights to work.

Re: Some questions for all-ages game creation

1. Do you feel cheated [if among routes, some characters aren't romance-able]? I'd only feel cheated if the game was presenting someone to be romance-able and then didn't allow it. Otherwise, I just entertain the thought of it. If it turns out I can get something with them (hello Dys route in Lucky...

Btw, is the 2013 a typo? Or is the release date for the game really sometime next year?
*cough* It's not a typo. Since I found I couldn't get this out for the 2012 NaNo, I figured 2013 was a better shot?

Re: Teams of HOW MANY YOU SAY?

Mine has about 18 people now, including myself. It used to be much bigger but roles have shifted and people have had to leave for various reasons. Personally, I recommend working in a group. I started out working in a huuuge team and I get hired out to work on other people's projects, so I'm really ...

Re: Editor Wanted

Is the project Lost Dreams or another one? How long is it/How long would you like them to work on it for? What kind of work method do you want (send script to editor, editor comments, sends back or collaborate with editor as you go)?

Re: Hiring an Editor

It's kinda amusing to see people wanting to be an editor. Don't do it if you want to live comfortably, guys! You put in way more work than you get paid for. It's a job of passion! Where do you go to hire an editor? Anywhere you might expect writers to gather. DeviantArt job boards, here, popular for...

Proofreader Available

Edit : This has slipped off the first few pages and I haven't had any responses, so I'm going to stop checking this. PM me if you're interested. I'll keep this as short as I can. My goal this year is to work on at least one VN a month, which brings me here. If you have a VN, KN or dating sim that's...

No joke. I just figured the face was androgynous enough to switch. It's on a different body at any rate, so the girls' school uniform can be used.
