Re: Just being curious...

Currently I'm using both of them in my project as a means to distinguish between events that are happening in first person and third person. ADV mode is used during the times when you're viewing things from the main protagonist's point of view, while NVL mode is used for third person narrating durin...

Re: Game creators age

I first started working with RPG Maker 2000 when I was like 13 or so. It was just mostly me experimenting with features and whatnot, and then I finally moved up the ladder with each RM upgrades. However, I left the scene like some 4 years ago though, but planning on returning to it for a possible se...

Re: How many characters

IMO, 10+ would fall under the hard difficulty, while 3-4 is easy and 5-9 would be medium. But truthfully I think the real difficulty of working on a game comes from the amount of content you want and what you want to do with your story, especially if you're a one man team doing all the work. This is...

Re: Settings that you would appreciate

Personally, I like peaceful areas and backwater villages/towns. Whenever I look at such places, I feel like I want to go live there just to get away from the stress of today's society. I could lead a carefree life and live out the rest of my days without having to worry about so many things that tec...

Re: is there a character generator in english?

Hm, this looks pretty interesting. I may just use this for character mockup purposes, since the Mii Maker on my 3DS isn't enough.

Re: Do we have any shooters/firearms owners here?

My grandparents used to have a rifle stowed away in the closet at their home when I was little. I don't remember what kind it was since the last time I saw it was when I was like 5-6 years old though, but I remember my gramps would sometimes take it out and show it to me. Though I've never fired any...

^ Go watch Gran Torino. Though not everything depicted in it is accurate, it does show how much American life has and is affecting us.

Re: What is your religion?

I'm a shamanist in name only, but I have my own beliefs about life and the world. They're pretty much influenced by both shamanism and science, but it doesn't really fall exclusively under either category. So basically it's a mixture of the two.

Re: Rewarding readers for obtaining bad ends?

EDIT: I realize this isn't how many otherwise good visual novels work. Sometimes, your character just takes a wrong turn and a giant boulder falls on top of her. But, specially in cases like yours, in which the bad ending is far from the decision point, it pays to work to harder on the ending. Well...

Re: Inspiration for Works

I pretty much borrow a little bit of everything I like and mesh them together. Whatever doesn't fit or doesn't work together, I take them out and continue to hammer away at the big blob until I refine it down to its core basics. In my case, I came up with the idea of a small secluded area where scar...

Re: Post your photo

I had a buddy in college who was also Hmong. :3 That's cool :D . We're a pretty rare clan of people since we don't have our own country. AFAIK, a majority of us in the US are only in California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Carolina, and Georgia. Outside of the US we're only in Thailand, L...

Re: Rewarding readers for obtaining bad ends?

I also agree with how well written the bad end must be, but my biggest concern with them right now is how late they occur in the chapter/scenario (And in some cases even the game as a whole) you're on that might turn people off. I can try to write interesting bad ends since I like fleshing them out ...

I don't have a lot of pics of me since I detest self-taken pics because I'm never satisfied with how they turn out, but here's one of me from half a year ago during a trip to St. Paul, Minnesota. http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5937/sdc12635s.jpg This was like early in the morning so I was still ...

Rewarding readers for obtaining bad ends?

Not sure if this topic belongs here or in Writing, but I figured I would post it here instead since I wanted it to be a discussion topic in general rather than one that's focused solely on my project. Anyway, I was wondering what you guys think about the idea of being rewarded for obtaining bad ends...
