Re: Ursa And Parka Cord

Nebi, Yes, he's brash and he won't give up on his dreams even if it means breaking a parka cord. It can also symbolize his relation to Shaka, his teacher. He is warned that one day he might loose the teacher to his stubborn dreaming (in the novel script it happens, there is a part when Shaka and Urs...

Re: Schrodinger's Lover

Brave concept, I like it! It will take some clever scripting and very subtle way to bring forth each of (Jake's) personalities. Here's my advice: Let audience jump to the conclusion about Jake. For example, if you make him Cute, Smart, Rich and Kind its a great start because "regular" perception of ...

Re: Ursa And Parka Cord

No, story is originally in Serbian. I translated it with help of online grammar checker :( The cord is materialization of Ursa's inner struggle. He is young and brash and tormented by deep meaning he is not ready or able to discern. Old Shaka advises him to give up, but he doesn't he tugs at his par...

Ren'Py tutorial - Variables and Control Structures

In the Ren'py Language (Simple), there is no explanation for Variables and Control Structures. Well there is a short note on Menu, but none on IF, CALL, WHILE, PASS. Maybe it's clear to someone with more programming knowledge, but could you add at least something. I managed to make a while loop, but...

Re: Ideas Dump

I think you will not be dissapointed. If it means anything, try reading in the following order: Norwegian Wood, Dance, Dance, Dance, Sputnik Sweetheart, South of the Border West of the Sun, After Dark, Kafka on the Shore...

Re: Ideas Dump

Haruki Murakami is one of the best contemporary writers, not only in Japan but in the whole world. His stories follow similiar pattern but retold in many different ways. Though set in (either contemporary or post-war) Japan, his message is universal and strong. It's just now that I see how borrowing...

Re: Ideas Dump

Good idea, can turn out very deep, reminds me of Haruki Murakami's novels (Dance, dance, dance).

Re: The state of VNs and their future

I think monele and Nebi touched interesting point. If we take VN as artistic form, then it faces the same problems as other creative writing. There are invisible rules to be discovered and many obstacles on the way. Maybe one can gradually progress from short story to full feature novel. Slowly lear...

Ursa And Parka Cord

Hi, This is not exactly a game, it's a visualization of my short story 'Ursa And Parka Cord'. I won first prize on a short story contest and wanted to celebrate by adding pictures and music to the words. I made this 'game' (hm...let's call it a presentation, shall we?) in May as my first Ren'py expe...

Re: Guestbook

Hi I'm Ranko, 33, game journalist, writer and editor. I'm all thumbs when it comes to design or code, so there! I like VNs because they differ from modern games and remind me of the old school storytelling. Today, games focus more on flashy graphics and reflexes (even strategy games). Whenever a goo...
