Re: What's your reason for making a visual novel? Since when

I write VNs because I adore the storytelling style of visual novels (branching paths! Pictures!) and I want to bring something to the market that isn't yet out there (as far as I can see). I can't be the only person that wants to read about a polyamorous, pansexual protagonist with cute friendships ...

I have to thank you for making this thread and therefore introducing me to Jeepneys, which are probably the most amazing vehicle I've ever seen. I mean, it's a great form of recycling, they can take people places, anyone can make them, and duct tape is a part of them. I've gone through every single ...

Re: Showing a single character's physical changes over time?

Well if most of the game takes place after the weight gain it seems more practical to not show the entire process. If your artist is able and willing to do several sprites it'd certainly be a nice touch, but I'm sure people would understand if it was done in time skips instead. Maybe instead of one...

Re: Potraying Emotions in Sprites

IMO it very much depends on the character and the exact mood they're expressing. Like if they're scared, it should be a full body thing, even if it's just subtle stuff like stiff shoulders and wide eyes. If they're just pleased, then a subtle smile would work. People might not glance up at the sprit...

Showing a single character's physical changes over time?

OKAY SO in my main project, I have a character that starts off as this itty bitty thing (like she's severely underweight) and over the course of the story (I'm thinking about a year), she puts on a TON of weight. Like she goes from weighing roughly 80lbs at 4'11" to ~160 and 5'2". Her appearance cha...

Re: Soul Sweeper [GxB][Supernatural]

I love the way you have the user interface set up! It's pretty but it seems to be readable and it suits what you have for the game so far. Cute but not too bright. I also like the basic idea of the characters too. Is it safe to assume that the Death God will be a choice? I'm looking forward to updat...

Re: Community Project for a VN Community: Website Discussion

This is a really awesome idea and would love to see it happen. I don't have a whole lot of input at the moment, but maybe for the VN Making Group/Individuals section, do a two line blurb about what kind of VNs the group typically produces? If there IS something the group focuses on. Something like.....

Re: Point of View Switching

I have to warn you that many writers consider switching POV's a very bad move. I know that it's risky since it's easy to mess up with and overdo or just be bad. Still though, it's either switch to another character or switch to third person in order to get some important events in. If switching POV...

Re: Point of View Switching

Switch PoV's after a chapter and feature the name of the narrator somewhere under the chapter name, or something. Unfortunately, this VN isn't divided up into chapters that are small enough for that to work. However, it did give me an idea for something that was used in G-Senjou no Maou. http://img...

Point of View Switching

Say we have a visual novel with a changing/shifting point of view. The protag tells the story, but sometimes, it switches to the POV of their love interest or best friend. For example, once, I read a book and I didn't have a damn clue that there had been a POV switch until something like half way th...

The art's so pretty! If I wasn't already working on something I would love to take Mana. She's cute!

Since all this SOPA business still seems to be up in the air (clearly, it hasn't passed but it doesn't appear to be completely gone either), I'll go ahead and link to this lovely little list of websites and their corresponding IP addresses (select all and save to notepad or something!) that I've see...
