Re: True endings?

I personally hate endings that require you to replay the game before you can unlock it. It breaks the sense of immersion and says loudly "you're playing a game!"

Re: Creative Commons Board?

My only worry is that a no-henti restriction is going to be the most common. But for the sake of what you're trying to accomplish, just leaving those out is probably for the best, I agree.

Re: Would anyone be interested in these sprites?

I don't think the background is completely unusable. You could add walls and a door frame to make it look like you're looking into the room through the door. Or you could just say it's formatted for a smart phone. ^_^

Re: Creative Commons Board?

Well, if we're talking about making a board section it doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to have a section for things with a "no henti games" requirement.

Re: Creative Commons Board?

I think a forum section wouldn't be as useful as a website would be. But either way, having all the resources in one spot would be wonderful.

She put herself forward as a professional, she should act professionally and own up to her own mistakes. I wouldn't pay a cent extra for that sort of mistake.

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...

I know how you feel! This is still happening to me and I've been living on my own for years. I'll talk to my dad about doing something together Saturday and he'll be "Can't, we're going to the family gathering. Aren't you going to?" And of course no one has said a word about this extended family get...

Re: Love interests in VN

There's never a way to make everyone happy so you either have to try for making the majority happy or yourself. There are people who aren't going to play it either way. Me, I avoid games with a same sex option. Honestly though, if you say clearly that you're going to have that option anyone who comp...

Re: Need Advice On Filling in Line Art

A funny trick if you're trying to color fast is to work very big and *don't* do anti-aliasing. That way you can just flood fill and color quickly. When you shrink it, the shrinking will anti-alias the lines for you.

Re: Best Anime Ever Watched?

How is Slayers not on anyone's list? Funny, epic, fantasy, with lots of explosions. Definitely in my all time fav list. Also, FMA Brotherhood.

Re: The GUI thread!

I like the no outline text better, but I think the black overlay is too subtle.

Re: How to make sprites?

If you don't have a working scanner or a tablet, you can use a digital camera to get your sketches into the computer. It's a lot trickier to get a clear image than a scanner, and it will only really be helpful as a guideline for your mouse work, but sometimes that's a lot better than drawing from sc...

Re: Tips to writing psychological horror?

If you want to write in a genre, it's very important to have read in that genre. There are lots of little things that can trip you up and make your story sound weak or pretentious that have already been solved by someone else. If you're familiar with other works like yours, you'll know what to watch...

Re: Vote for the Princess, PLZ

I think it's funny that you mention "clothes may be different" since any one of them could look the part with the right clothes. I like #2 the best for a modern princess. She wouldn't look out of place ordering anyone around but she still looks classy, refined and elegant.
