Re: The 2008 Lemmy Visual Novel Awards

[...]how about renaming "Best Overall" to Visual Novel of the Year? There's movie of the year, game of the year, and so on, so why not visual novel of the year? Yes! good idea! also, I realize I probably don't have a real shot at any awards (unless some random "VN developed in under a month" award ...

Re: WE NEED MORE LIGHT AND FLUFFY STUFF!

Here, I've got a bit of something in my head. Player Character is a 19-yr old man that was separated from his sister in a bombing 8 years ago. In the bombing, he loses all memories of his sister except for the fact he has one. 10 years later, the police, after some investigation, find 3 orphaned 12...

Re: New Year's Eve VN project

First update is gonna be twofold: first, I've decided what the exact situation in the VN will be, and have decided on a rough number of characters in it (maximum of 5, currently 3, not counting the player's character). the story will take place at a relatively small New Year's party where one of the...

Re: The 2008 Lemmy Visual Novel Awards

well, at least one of us is trying to do a VN more or less from scratch in under 10 days. any and all help towards this, particularly in terms of graphic contributions, would be greatly appreciated

I'd really like to finish it in time for this! >.<

Thanks, musical74. ^-^

also, rioka, after some thought, I'll take you up on your little "challenge" to try and get a quality good passable Visual Novel by the end of the year. thread is here.

[SCRAPPED - TOO MUCH RAILROADING] New Year's Eve VN project

Well, after thinking about it (mainly due to eclipse's rioka's not-so-subtle invite ), I decided to give this a shot. I am going to attempt to get an original VN out on New Year's Eve. That's right: 10 days. that's about 1/3 the length of the NaNoRenO. Here is the large problem I have trying this: I...

general question for the artists among us...

how many of you would be interested in taking otherwise completed ren'py scripts that lack actual artwork and just doing the artwork for them. The reason I'm asking is that I'd rather be able to take care of the scripting portion of it (using all-too-obvious placeholders) and get that out the door s...

Re: Whats is you fav VN?

Really, I can't quite pin a favorite down. The game that genuinely introduced me to the VN medium (and, ironically, this site) was the original Tales of Lemma. But, really, I don't have an absolute favorite.

Re: It's been too long since I've been here...

well, the issue with my "learn ren'py" project is twofold, really: A) no graphic artist. I don't plan on releasing a text-only game for something like that. B) the story I'm using to learn ren'py is a fan-fiction of Karin. I'm really hesitant to distribute this one if I actually finish all the scrip...

Re: Not understanding DSE...

I used Ren'py off and on about two years ago, moved on to scripting languages that bordered on actual programming languages in complexity and/or confusion (google danmakufu for one of them), came back a day ago to start re-learning it, took 5 looks at the DSE, and said something to the effect of "fo...

It's been too long since I've been here...

well, after an almost two-year-long hiatus, I finally decided to start working with ren'py again (even though I still might not make anything that's "finished" in terms of scripting). cliffnotes of what has happened to me (for those that want to know): I got in to college. granted, it was a communit...

two quick questions

well, I'm starting to relearn ren'py (and to my surprise, it's actually going quite well now - guess all that time trying to figure out danmakufu paid off somewhere), and I have two relatively simple questions: 1) is it possible to set a border on the edges of the text windows? I've looked over the ...

Honestly, I think it's kind of off-topic here.
so was the patent discussion as far as the rediculous goes.

this post alone is almost enough to merit a new topic on quite a few forums, considering that one guy got fired for distributing the song mentioned.
