Re: Several questions needing answers.lol

words All good points again. Mostly what I'm talking about is the sort of self-editing that leads to Otome's current situation where you're constantly re-evaluating what you're writing and making vast assumptions about the quality of it to the point where they simply don't believe it's any good at ...

Re: Xbox Live

But the approval must still be undertaken by other community members at their own instigation. It's basically a giant uphill battle to get attention from people who themselves need your attention, leading to a lot 'scratch my back and I'll scratch yours' situations, combined with the normal dramas t...

Re: Several questions needing answers.lol

Also, be a good self-editor Most of the advice so far in this thread ranges from the good to the 'well duh' but I thought I'd point out this as being something I really don't agree with. You should never edit your own work - you're far too involved and personally attached to your work (and if you'r...

Re: How do you feel about comic relief characters?

If you're worried about people falling in love with your one-bit characters, then you should really worry less about what you're doing and worry more about the mental well-being of the segments of your audience who so quickly fall in love with one-dimensional characters whose entire personality is '...

Re: Question about Beta Testing

Problems can occur on the same machine running the same version of the game running at different moments. That's the nature of bugs - they're unintended and have the potential to just kinda flare up due to some obscure combination of events behind the scenes. There's no way you can ever release a ga...

Re: Storytelling prominent in new crop of games

Sure. Just give me some of the $200 million dollar plus budget that's gone into The Old Republic and I'll see what I can put out on the weekend.

e: my game will be better because it'll have gameplay, blackjack, and hookers

e2: that's it! screw the gameplay! and the blackjack!

Re: How do I remove an unwanted button and box in dp?

A menu just jumps you along to whatever ends you want it to. There's nothing at all stopping you from incrementing (or decrementing) numbers along the way to jumping around scenes. You're starting off too complicated here and wondering why nothing makes sense - nothing you've done so far needs the D...

Bumping with more work. Now looking at it, his pose is rather...gay. Albeit, 80% of all my characters are bisexual, so who cares? I care that you seem to think that there's a 'gay' way to stand. The head is also impossibly small considering his other body proportions and you're still obviously hidi...

Re: A Question Only a Newbie Would Ask...

There is a topic entitled " How do you get people interested in your project? " on the first page, currently less than a dozen topics down from this one. You didn't look very hard. The same principles in that thread apply for this one, only instead of advertising to an audience, you're advertising t...

Re: Quotation. Need or not?

Does it really matter so long as you're consistent? Pick a style that you're comfortable with and as long as you don't switch halfway through you should be fine. Most of the cues as to how your reader interprets the dialogue (as either spoken, thought, whatever) is through context anyway, so it stil...

Re: Japanese vs Korean themed

Because that's just how S-KDiddy Dawg rolls, yo. Also I guess ultimately the question as to why VNs aren't as popular in South Korea (or any other country I guess) as they are in Japan is that ultimately, VNs are successful in Japan because they corner the market on catering to various cliques and ...

Re: What is with the lack of interest in BxB games ;=;?

Because the whole 'fangirls love yaoi' is a horrible stereotype and statistically the vast majority of your target audience is going to be straight, so that naturally skews the whole thing. That's not to say that games with such elements shouldn't or aren't being made, it's just that a heterosexual ...

Re: Kickstarter - crowd funding for game development

Sure, you can set the target to be the bare minimum wage 'I need $500 to pay an artist so he'll release his artworks to me to be used' sort of target, and plenty do. Some people have bigger eyes than wallets, however, and end up setting the target too high to be realistic, even if it's a modest amou...
