Re: [GxB][Murder Mystery] My Dark, Little Secret

For the title screen, the menu options that drop with blood are a bit distracting from the text itself, and the white Gaussian blur behind the title options makes it a bit more difficult to read as well. Perhaps play with alpha levels for those overlays? A Gaussian blur with a transparency would ill...

Re: Stylistic Art Elements of 1970s Anime

I took some screenshots from Lupin III and also from Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 to help illustrate how 1970s anime looked like. Note that these two shows had very different styles, but it should give you an idea. If you're looking for an example of something in particular from the 1970s (like, old man,...

Re: What's fun in a stat-raising sim?

(though I would have no idea how to code them =_=; ) Which part in particular do you not know how to code? Depending on your answer, I may be able to offer some help. The VN I'm working on using stats. I'm going to try to minimize the concept of level-grinding, but there certainly I think should be...

Re: Jobs

I did child care and cat veterinary work for two years simultaneously. I've done independent web design on and off for a while now, sort of got a new one again recently. I've also done iOS development but left that because my boss was insane. Sad too, I rather enjoyed Objective-C.

Re: Conventions?

Since I'm in the nation's capital, there's quite a few cons in my area. I believe Magfest is going on right now actually. Sadly I am not there, I would have likely enjoyed it immensely! The next con I plan to show up to is Katsucon. It's my least favorite in the area, but I'm only going to hang out ...

Re: Why are eroge / hentai games less popular here?

I believe that a video game should deal with sex responsibly and in a manner appropriate for the story it is trying to tell. I prefer games like that over those that use sex merely as a selling point and a means to gain a fandom. Since visual novels emphasize character interactions, it's a genre tha...

Re: Best non japanese cartoons?

There's this Israeli animated film called Waltz With Bashir . I still hold it as one of my favorite animations of all time, Japanese or otherwise. It's rather mature, especially since it largely deals with one of the Lebanese-Israeli wars, but it is truly a work of art and I'd highly recommend it. A...

Re: Demographics of Forum Members

I'm a man I live in the US, though I've lived elsewhere before English is my primary language, but I wouldn't say it's my first language. My first was Arabic, it took me a bit to learn English as a child, but I'd say I'm better at English than Arabic. @Sven, I love C! I wanted to add it to my list o...

Re: IWHYH [otome/sim]

I do greatly enjoy the art style. I'm going to do sort of a liveblog review of the demo, so you can know my feelings as I'm playing it. If you want general comments, scroll down. I bolded the section. Detailed comments as I play the demo Opening music is nice, I sort of just sat there for a bit list...

Re: How hard would it be to implement a clothing system?

It's not hard at all! The link from DragoonHP easily shows you how to use layers to show various expressions, which is what you'd want to do. For what I'm working on, I wrote a large class in Python that held all the variables associate for my main character. These included traditional RPG stats lik...

Re: Non-anime, non-romance VN?

My favorite VN that I have played I didn't even realize was a visual novel. It was Digital: A Love Story , and despite being made on Renpy, it followed absolutely none of the tropes or cliches common among the visual novel genre. Not to say that there isn't good justification for why VNs are deep in...

Re: Question?

I personally play VNs at the native resolution when I can, because stretched graphics end up bothering me a lot. The one I'm making is 1067x600, because I guess I like widescreen, and it fits a nice size on my display (1080p). It also still fits on laptops as I find. I don't mind seeing the main cha...

Re: Dust to Dusk [Long Kn] [Non-Romantic]

How many perspectives will you be using for this game? For a game with a lot of countries I can see something like this using multiple, though not necessarily. Is it linear? I mean this in a couple sense. First, will you have branching paths? (If the Kn in the title means Kinetic Novel then ignore m...
