There was also an anime I watched recently-- Anime de Wakaru Shinryounaika, which is basically teaching about mental illness through a highly sexualized comedy skit. While I was definitely off put by the way they dealt with a cross dressing character in one episode, it was educational and worth wat...

You would not believe how much time I spend agonizing over names. Character names, location names, even title and chapter names. It's honestly sort of comical. The amount of significance you choose to put into each name is up to you, but good names can make for a more fun read and even serve as plot...

I think it's also worth mentioning that the setting and scenario have a lot to do with how much sympathy the character gets as well. Take Mirai Nikki, for instance - Yuno Gasai is a hardcore yandere that most people would outright despise, but the fact that the story takes place during a survival ga...

Same here, I'm fine with taking on a portion of the writing if it's still open.

Is a good example of a non-fiction - if moe-anthromorphized - visual novel. IIRC, there's also an iOS port.

Oooh, that looks interesting. Not too expensive either. I'll have to give it a look.

Oooh, sounds interesting. I guess I'll be leaving my information here, then. I should be able to keep on top of deadlines and corral people when necessary; I don't have any other active projects and am a full-blown NEET until this fall. My strong areas are writing and story planning, so if you need ...

Tumblr is chiefly a content aggregate and interacting with followers is actually fairly hard without direct messaging. Consider advertising other avenues for potential hangouts on your tumblr to see who swings by. Art streams are especially fun and a solid option. Oooh, streams are fantastic. Whene...

Ouch. Can't say I know how chronic illnesses feel, but I have spent the last year in and out of follow-up sessions and physical therapy, so I at least know how much of a strain it puts on your schedule. Granted, there were times when I had like three different follow-up appointments in a week, so ma...

This is true, although I'd add that I think one of the most effective storytelling tools a VN writer has at their disposal is purposely varying how impactful player choices are. The Walking Dead game is a great example of this: some choices have a fairly significant impact on the plot, while others...

There's no real limit on the number of characters, although remember that the more characters you throw at them, the harder it'll be for the player to connect with any of them. One thing you should really be aware of in branching content VNs: increasing the amount of characters that make choices inc...

You know, I'm reminded of a book I read recently, the Manga Guide to Relativity. Just like it sounds, it's a crash course in special and general relativity that's mostly explained through manga format. It stood out to me not only because it was fun and interesting to read, but also because it actual...

And that's a good question -- what do you mean by "likeable"? They're morally redeeming of their crime? They're so evil, they're interesting? Or they're so complex, they're addicting to think about? Do you even want them to be likeable? Would they be more interesting if they were disliked? I think ...

Heyo. I'm Kailoto, although my typical pen name is Nathaniel. And one of the things I do is write. Can I do stuff: Not at the moment! I'm getting started on a few projects, and I'd like to get them going before I take on any more work. Once things start rolling, though, I might still have free time...

My personal approach is to plan the details of the setting and the events of the plot, but figure out the characters' personalities as I go. (Sometimes, chemistry between characters doesn't really become evident until after I actually begin writing a scene.) Ahaha, just goes to show that there's no...

I just got out of surgery, finished my first follow-up appointment, and it seems to have gone well! I'm looking forward to being able to breathe again once the swelling goes down. Oooh, good to hear! I remember when I went in for wrist surgery and came out with my entire left arm numb... it was a w...
