That's an idea for a bad VN -- constant errors as part of the design. Bonus points if it's accompanied by that obnoxious Windows warning sound; XP's OR Vista/7's. "Copying files... 1 minute remaining... 45 seconds remaini- 5 days remaini - 1 seconds remaining... 0 seconds remainin- [ERROR NOISE]" An...

I'm not sure whether it's allowed to be used as such, but you maybe Google Drive would be a good place to store the game and release it. You get 5GB of free storage there (or maybe it's 10... I can't be bothered checking XD) Again though, I don't know whether that's against the ToS. Also, moddb / in...

Background WIP. The school can't afford desks, nor the teachers clothes :'(

I don't know why, but I have this strong urge to touch the hair of your characters. It looks so nice!

I would agree with you with that 16:9 currently is the most used ratio, so designing for it would probably be in the best interest. However when picking a resolution we should pick something that will fit in a window as well as full screen . Small as possible tends to work. Something like 1008x567 ...

My 5 cents: I'd say to use 800x600 or 1024x768 to get the best compatibility/speed ratio for a game. Use larger sized sprites and backgrounds and have the software resize them to what you need. That way you'll get better quality at fullscreen. I think that's bad advice. Creating something in 4:3 (w...

Drawing and pairing and organizing the pics isn't a problem - I draw as I write to keep the expressions and special effects (wardrobe, injuries) current with the storyline, but wowza does that ratchet up the game's overall file size like nobody's business. I've settled for keeping the screen in a l...

I would say it doesn't pass as a hand-drawn background. The first thing that stands out to me is the lighting: it almost looks as if the areas not hit by direct sunlight are all evenly lit. This is most noticeable on the desks and walls on the right-hand side; I'd wager that if the desks had no text...

I use Blender to model & render my stuff. Freestyle was finally integrated into the latest build too, so I render the line art with that. The advantage with 3D is that you can just spin the camera around and render another view immediately after the first. As long as you modelled beyond the camera's...

No worries For backgrounds, the majority of them are likely to be more efficient saved as JPEGs -- if you're ever in doubt just save the file in both formats and compare the file sizes.

You could try creating a list of composers who have a decent, eclectic body of work and the asking one of them to try it out. If someone has written jazz, bossa nova, ragtime and an Irish jig and written them well , then there's a good chance they're someone who's able to dissect and sufficiently em...

I don't know anything about drawing, but that looks really nice. I'm glad you posted it as an attachment first or I might have not looked

I wasn't very interested until I got to this part. Sounds... interesting! Hope you find someone to help you out.

Thank you for your opinions everyone! :) At least... now I'm sure it's better to go bigger. ^^ Haha, and you're right tempus , I think I belong to the first group. XD I don't know how to save images properly. Although, in my case, I don't know how to make png files into jpeg. Something new to learn...

A size like 800x600 is as distracting as bad art. The first thing I think is that the devs have no clue what they are doing , so they just stuck with the default size. Next is trying to decide if I can be bothered playing in a tiny little window, or going full screen and looking at horribly blocky ...
