Re: San Diego Comic Con 2012!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Comic-Con!!! I've been going for the past 3 years, so this is my fourth year going. :3 (I had to wait in line last year at 4am just to get them, but damn was it worth it. XD) I'm totally stoked to go. I'm a huge comic-book nerd, so I always go to the comic book panels to suppor...

You. Are. Awesome. Nothing beats Doolittle, although Surfer Rosa is almost there.

Right now listening to Hunky Dory by David Bowie. It's a nice way to spend a working morning. ;D

Re: Cheating in a dating sim?

I think cheat codes could be a nice little "extra" to have. Like if there's a CG gallery, it could be complete without having to actually go through all of the paths to do them, or there could be cheats to highlight the best options to get him to like you. (Sort of like, turning on some sort of indi...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

Thanks for the comment! :3 I'll look into your comments, especially with Geoff. I'm not very good at drawing guys, they're not my preferred gender to illustrate. XD I'm going to see how much I can fix when I start finalizing their sprite artwork. Plus I'll have a better idea of how much of them to d...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

These are just some sketches I'm doing of my current VN "Relativity". The characters are Jo and Geoff respectively, and I still have one more dude to sketch out. (Not my favourite guy to sketch, so I'm taking it easy for right now.) I'm not exactly dedicated to the "anime-style" that I have sketched...

Re: Tolkien discussion?

I used to be a huge Tolkein fan, reading and rereading the LotR trilogy and the Hobbit over and over again on top of watching the movie so many times I've memorized a huge part of it by heart. (I also read a bit of Dwarvish!) I've fallen out of touch with his writing in the past few years, where my ...

Re: Do you make GxB, BxG, BxB, or GxG? Why?

I'm personally a GxB or a BxG person. I'm fine having to do any that fits the story fine, but I'm just most comfortable writing GxB or BxG. I draw a lot of my writings and emotion from personal experience, or ways I can relate to certain situations. I'm a 80% straight female (and the other 20% bicur...

Re: The GUI thread!

Aaah, that explains a lot. It looks very neutral right now, so I think you're doing fine. The only real remark I still have is the white, though I don't think it's pure white, which may be a bit harsh on the eyes. Thanks! Yeah it's fairly neutral right now, probably a lot of other screens will pick...

Re: The GUI thread!

@Cake: What kind of VN are you making? It may look good but it needs to fit the VN's mood/setting, so without any information about that it's hard to help. It's a modern slice of life game....sort of? Think (500) Days of Summer meets Closer (the movie with Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman, and Jude L...

Re: Last game you played?

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XIII-2, which IMO is insane visual overload. So many excessive particles and sparkles. D: It's alright besides that though. I don't find it exceptionally captivating or gripping. I honestly feel like I'm just playing to get through it quickly and then move on to a...

Re: The GUI thread!

After 2-3 days of agonizing over the art direction for the game my friend and I are planning on doing, I finally established enough of a "look" to make one mockup. XD The save screen was actually easiest for me to design since I had a clear vision on how I wanted the shapes and composition of the pa...

Re: Game creators age

I only just made my first game this year with my partner-in-crime, which was a platformer for the Ludum Dare challenge. (Where you make a game in 48/72 hours. Think of it as that VN month challenge, but cut by a fraction. XD) It was a lot of fun to make, and the whole experience was great. Oh, and t...

Re: Ideas Dump

So my partner and I were brainstorming about our possible story the other day, and since we're both not exactly the greatest writers and we both enjoy slice of life stuff, we got a really grounded and down-to-earth story that we named "Relativity" . He chose the name, he thought it'd be interesting ...

Well, got a placeholder BG for the moment. Plain text and bordered text Hmm, I don't know...I would have to respectfully disagree about the outlined text. I think it's too jarring, especially having it be black against white. (I'm also usually against stroked text. That's just a personal thing. ._....

Re: Writing, Art, Or Coding...What Do You Find the Hardest?

Eeesh, what a question.... It really depends, IMO. I feel like Ren'py helps making coding python a lot easier, so in the case of creating VN's I would say that the Art is the hardest with Writing being in the middle. The artwork of anything creates the first impression, so it's always good to try to...
