Re: Regarding School Life Theme

I'm aware of this problem and what I'm doing is to change the education system (not Japanese, not American, but something completely new) and let the characters talk about their educational life (math problems, standardized tests to write). I also assume that the school is not a place for wacky adve...

Re: What was your first story?

Two Pokemon fanfic. While it doesn't have Mary Sues and self-inserts, it is full of references to Mega Man and many Deus Ex pulled off. Also, using romance as a source of comedy. The interesting thing is that, one of them is written in a format of "A: ... B: ... narration A: ...", which is closer to...

Re: Foreign Languages

Mandarin Chinese: 5/5 (native language. A few people notice that I never use proverbs.) Cantonese, Sichuanese: 2/5 (Exposed to them for 5 years total but never learned them, lack of adaption blamed on genetics) English: 5/5 (imperfect at advanced writing. I hate English because you need to pay atten...

Re: Best non japanese cartoons?

3000 Whys of Blue Cat
A kids cartoon that teaches science. They talk about pinyin, dinosaurs, underwater, and technology, mainly computer and military. There should be one in the west.

I want some diagrams on visual novel story branching, so can you find and post them? They can be from a game walkthrough or a tutorial on creating visual novels. E...

Re: The Edutainment Discussion Thread

I guess it's hard to teach things in the curriculum like math and language. However, games can teach what schools don't teach. For example, a speculative fiction (that does not fall into these traps ) can teach people how to interact with other cultures, which is an important skill in the 21st centu...

Re: Setting Terminology in Stories

Remember names is a barrier of understanding so I would prefer humans. If you want a fantasy terminology for humans, try to create an in-universe justification. Calling something common a weird name is called "calling a rabbit smeerp" (Google this term), and I'm having the same problem in my univers...

(I've seen you somewhere else?)

Looking forward to it.

I think you should draw the character sprites, because using stock sprites cause noticable style inconsistencies.

Re: Shout For Joy, Share Your Happiness

Finished my last project and the rest of the week is watching movies and playing on my phone.
Then I'm going to China to revisit my concrete jungle paradise.
