Re: Get Dumped ☆

A game with nice CG, colorful characters and music that reminds me of my childhood. The true ending is not a good ending but very realistic, and other 6 endings are very self-conscious. For the setting, I can't decide if it's in Japan or America with 100% certainty, but it doesn't matter and no one ...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

Some backgrounds rendered in Unity. I think they are as realistic as anime CG and this level of realism will appear in the first demo. (I don't want lightmaps to hog up hundreds of megabytes)

Re: Ideas Dump

This idea came from the observation that almost all fantasy works follow an ancient culture: medieval Europe (western fantasy and many anime), medieval China (wuxia), Japanese mythology (Touhou), and Norse mythology. So I wonder what fantasy do people in the future read. Quantum Fantasy: A fantasy s...

Re: How do you choose name for main character?

It depends on the genre and setting: modern English-speaking country, China, Japan, sci-fi, fantasy, etc. I found all English names sound generic, but it seems it's easy to make up Chinese and Japanese names that are not generic. I have one main character called Fukuda Yuki (福田ゆき). Yuki means snow. ...

Re: Moving from Ideas to WIP

I think my game doesn't even deserve to be in ideas.
I have some art assets, and incomplete scenes, a 10k words of worldbuilding and a story outline but actual story is not written.

Chinglish and Engrish Speakers

I have a Chinese and a Japanese character in my VN. It is a pre-space opera science fiction with a multinational cast that talk using English as a second language. While they have studied English for several years, they still demonstrate subtle forms of Chinglish and Engrish. I don't want things lik...

Re: "Press X to not Die"- Opinions on Quick Time Events

I wouldn't incorporate a QTE in a visual novel because a VN does not test the player's reflex. If the VN has minigames that test reflex, QTE is acceptable. It's acceptable for Mass Effect because it is half action. Also, QTE should be "press any key" instead of "press X". The player can miss the fir...

Re: Tips on creating VNs that appeal both males and females

I'm not doing gender choice because I already fleshed out a female protagonist, and I follow the philosophy of "you are not the protagonist, you are rooting for her and maybe controlling her fate". I don't play otome games because there is ONLY female-on-male romance. I may play it if there is fight...

Re: Working Solo or ...

I'm doing it once for Telemon and won't do it again for something else big like Half Earth.
If people leaving is a problem, then I should hire people come and go. I can do everything from art to coding, but speed of not guaranteed.

Re: Tips on creating VNs that appeal both males and females

Is it safe to assume that there is a large enough body of males who like romance and females who like violence? (with or without gore). The dominating genre of my VN is science fiction, and this article is relevant: http://io9.com/391860/what-chicks-dont-like-about-science-fiction. One thing I learn...

Tips on creating VNs that appeal both males and females

What are some tips to make a VN appeal both male and female audiences? There are many magical girl shows that appeal both boys and girls because boys find the girls cute and there are magical boys in the show. Does moe lock female audience away? What about moe without little sisters and fanservice? ...
