Re: Virus (romance, otome, sci-fi) [NaNoRenO 2012]

Since it's no longer a NaNoReNo, you should ask a move to the norma WIP section (and keep a bit people informed too~)

Re: Why Are Dating Sims/VNs for the iOS so expensive?

Well, that's the law of the app' market. You find some much things for nothing... really a competition hard to find _that merciless_ in others places.
Maybe it has some good points, but I hope the same thing will not happen to the PC games etc. (even if Windows would seem to go in this direction)

Re: Why Are Dating Sims/VNs for the iOS so expensive?

As said sciencewarrior, you have often more "original content" to produce for a VN than for another game. This content (art, music, etc.) costs a lot, and given the average number of buys a VN has in this market, I think that's not even a high price. I guess that a few games are really profit-making...

Re: Why, as a game developer, you NEED your own website

Hmm the thing is that people read the thread about free hosting, but they are in total haze about what they have to do so they give up. I mean, like a link to click and a explained step-by-step way forward. People don't have the time to go deeper in a thing they aren't sure about. Well, and maybe fo...

Re: Ristorante Amore [NaNoRenO 2012] / Hints+Walkthroughs up

Yeah this concern isn't rare to hear, and understandable ; but even so I think I'll grumble forever on this kind of thing ahah. A soundtrack is important and that's why you work like that. But to me if a soundtrack is important, it needs to be unique, tied to the story and faithful. Music brings emo...

Re: Ristorante Amore [NaNoRenO 2012] / Hints+Walkthroughs up

So, finally I played the whole thing. Even if the many hints you gave spoiled a bit the surprise, experience the post-prologue was really enjoyable. It's a process often found in stories, set up in a "small world", and suddendly reveal a meta-world, bigger, giving to the reader an incredible feeling...

Re: Player Interaction in a Story

In some VN I tried to write, a thing about player interaction and choices is that I didn't use "branching directly depending on the choices" but instead variables. For instance, name a variable "silliness" and start it at 0. Then choices will increase it or not. Then choices of the branching will be...

Re: Sourcecode: Main menu music issues

I used this code and all works good, so I only can be something like your name being wrong somewhere (big/small letters or space), or your directory, or the pattern (is your file an .ogg ? if not had you changed it in the code ?) (On my side I tried to play multiple tracks (like both a water sound a...

Re: Spiral Destiny Demo [NaNoRenO 2012]

A good review is always welcome. Thanks about that. (I would say, the more ruthless is it the better) Nothing to comment about the music, obviously I prefer when the reader cares about it but as long as it's not a bother, that's for the best. The real problem we have it about the code. Nobody is use...

Re: Spiral Destiny [crisis survival VN] [NaNoRenO 2012]

*evolving from composer to coder-composer*

Well, I can already assure you that it'll be worth the effort, the delay is due to all the coding required by background SE/voices/sprites movements/etc. - maybe a bit ambitious for a Nano release ahah.
