Re: Protagonists that you would appreciate

I prefer my protagonist to actually know and be aware of the problems around them. They need to know when they can and can't handle things on their own, as well as not being afraid to ask for help when they run into trouble. The readers should be able to relate to them to some extent, and they shoul...

Re: Would You Like to Achieve all Romances in 1 Playthrough?

Generally I tend to stay away from reverse/harems unless they were optional, but I will make exceptions if it seems interesting to me. For VNs, it would be best to make it 1 on 1 instead of a group. As mentioned a few times above, you can always skip scenes when it comes to the ones you've already s...

Re: A question about art...

I'm not really a fan of chibis, but I'm generally okay with them. I usually don't mind the artwork so long as its quality is within a tolerable range, but it's going to need a good/decent story to keep me hooked to it.

Re: Script editor won't launch.

Are you talking about the default JEdit editor? If so, check if you have Java installed. I ran into this problem awhile back myself, and figured out that it was because I didn't have the Sun Java Applet installed on my computer.

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

I finally have some art that I can share :D . These were all done on my 3DS thanks to the Colors! 3D app, so drawing these were kind of difficult for me (Not to mention I had zero experience with digital art aside from image manipulation in Photoshop). I would post the images here, but I feel that i...

Re: When you were a child...

For me, it was an astronaut, but then I realized I may never get to be one due to me having a weak heart. I can't get on roller coasters because of this, so it's most likely I won't even be able to last through the tests that the astronauts have to go through before getting sent to space :( . Well, ...

Re: You have a game - now what?

What I like to do is that I wait until I get to like 50-60% done with a project before I unveil it to the public. I find that not only will it show people that I'm serious about my work, but I will also have progress to show for it and I won't be setting anyone up for disappointment if I happen to a...

Re: Character sprites appearing on top of each other...?

Are you using the same image tag for each of the expressions? Examples: image a happy = "a_happy.png" image a sad = "a_sad.png" image a mad = "a_mad.png" Each image tag begins with the lowercase a . When you use the same tag for each image, the old image will be replaced by the new one. So in this e...

Re: When a Writer Can't Write

^ #1 definitely applies to me. I often spend too much time reworking a paragraph or a scene of a story when I should keep on writing and come back to it later for editing. In my cases of writer's block, it's usually because I've run out of ideas to work with due to certain obstacles that prevent me ...

Re: I'm Back~[Also, how do you get your groove back?]

See, that's the thing. No matter how much you really loved your idea or story when you first began, being away from it for too long will make it very difficult to come back to it. Especially if you've forgotten most of the details and whatnot as well, which I assume is not the case here. What I usua...

Re: Do You Write Your Sound Effects?

It depends. I usually only write sounds if the character who hears it is describing it or if the scene is being told in third person narrative mode. Either way, I usually accompany it with the actual sound effect if it's available.

Re: Tips for introducing characters

Do you mean all the cast at once or individually? Either way, it usually all comes down to the situation or circumstances at hand. Individually, you can just make your character run into them by chance like how you would in real life. Like say for example, put them in a situation and they will talk ...

Re: A choice VS no choice

Personally I think this would work best as a KN, as the two choices you provided seems unnecessary since all three routes would all end up at the same end anyway, and it would seem like you're forcing them to replay if they want to understand the entire story. The only benefit I can see from letting...
