Re: Is there any tuts on creating music?

I'm a complete noob on this field but if you have an iPad, maybe you could try the garageband app? It's not the best music-making sofware out there but at least it's super easy to understand and use. I don't understand much about music but I still managed to create an okay-sounding VN bg music track...

Re: Non-native english speaker needs critique

I've seen "gg" used in chat, but I think one normally says "good game" over the mic (and it would just be clearer). I've heard a few people say "GG," but yeah, it's a good idea to write out the full phrase at least once just for clarity. As for the tense of your narration, I think past tense is fin...

Re: Making some money with a commercial VN - is it possible?

I'm currently working on character design and sprites for a VN project, and writing stuff for a project of my own. I currently have about 5000 words done, and it has taken me a couple of evenings to write that much. I'm planning to POSSIBLY launch a commercial project IF a) I can finish my non-comme...

Re: Non-native english speaker needs critique

Thanks, cuttlefish! I'll find an editor once I have more writing done. The russian potatoes thing is gamer slang and in this case kenneth means that it seems like they are playing on really bad computers. It's a phrase I hear pretty often when I play but I guess it was kinda silly to put it into a V...

Re: Non-native english speaker needs critique

Thanks for the critique! I struggled with the tenses a lot, that's true! It was hard to decide whether to have the narration in past or present tense. I chose past tense because some of the sentences sound really stupid in present tense imo. Especially this one but some others as well: “It hits me l...

Making some money with a commercial VN - is it possible?

I saw a thread in this forums asking if you could make a lot of money making Visual Novels. The answers were exactly what I expected: it's not very likely. But what if the profits you were expecting were a lot smaller? I had a summer job earlier this summer but for me, it was a very negative experie...

Non-native english speaker needs critique

Hey there! As the title suggests, I'm not a native English speaker, and I'm worried about the quality of my writing. I do my best and I don't think my writing is awful but I'd really appreciate some constructive criticism! The following is a part of my upcoming VN. I tried give the MC/narrator a kin...

Re: Need help with turning 3D images into VN backgrounds

Okay, so from what you guys are saying, I gather that I really should only use the sims screenshots as a base and paint over them. Oh well, it's a lot more work but at least they'll help me get the perspective right, and perspective has always been the biggest problem for me. I might resort to the f...

Re: Need help with turning 3D images into VN backgrounds

Sorry, but that wasn't very helpful. I already tried messing around with some filters but couldn't find any that would work perfectly, that's why I asked for help here. I was wondering if anyone has done anything like this before and could tell me what kind of filter would work the best (and in what...

Need help with turning 3D images into VN backgrounds

Hey guys! I'm making a visual novel and needed backgrounds. Then I got an idea: why not make them with sims? I needed backgrounds from the house my characters live in so I simply built that house and took screenshots. I thought I could use photoshop filters to make them look less like Sims and more ...

Re: Seeking Sprite Artist for Pumpkin Love(Fantasy,Tragedy,G

Hey there! I wasn't originally going to work on any projects for free but this one got my interest. I like the idea of the overweight MC. If you like my art, I might be willing to help you. Could you PM me some dialogue that you have written if you think my art is good enough? I'd also like to know ...
