I guess I should be more specific. Reading over that first post again, I must have been pretty burnt out. I have the screen itself made (prototyped), but it's the making it appear and vanish and such. That said, though, it's good to know at least I did the construction right. The thing I'm having th...

How many people can die, so every death would seem tragic? How long should it take for the main character to recover from the shock and pain to make it seem natural, yet not irritate the players by characters crying? Honestly, just one. After the first death, the rest have much less impact, no matt...

Oh boy, writing advice! This is what I live for. The secret to all kinds of horror, be it psychological or not, is the Alfred Hitchcock formula: the scariest monster is the one you never see. The difference between "jump horror" and psychological horror is that in one the monster picks off one at a ...

Romance languages are languages that evolved from what is commonly called "Vulgar Latin" and all share similar grammatical structures, which is why they're grouped together. In theory knowing a romance language makes learning others easier, since the grammar systems aren't as different as say, Engli...

I almost studied art and creative writing in college, but changed my mind in my first semester because I take too long to produce work that I'm proud of and I didn't really want to take any more traditional art classes after the years I had in high school.

Trouble is, I really d...

For ...

Yeah, I know the graphics is the biggest memory sink, just hoping to optimize a bit before putting list references everywhere only to realize dicts would have been better. When learning Java I hated doing a large project using mostly arrays then being taught about the Java equivalent of dicts and wi...

As many games do, the one I'm working on has various characters with various stats, but I'm having some trouble deciding how to go about it. My prototype setup is a list for each character holding their stats, like so: character1[10,10,10,10,10] character2[10,10,10,10,10] etc. But I'm curious as to ...
