Re: Errant Heart - Beta 1.0

It seems to me that since this is, after all, a visual novel, you should be able to rely on the visual elements to convey some of the charm - and the whole look of the game certainly is very charming. The long descriptions of various places around the city and of random actions (like Lira watching w...

Re: Does Many Endings Encourage or Discourage Players?

In my opinion, VNs really don't do well when they're given loads and loads of endings, because they tend to be so linear - in the ones I've played, it's often the case that the endings only change a small part of the story, but you have to choose the right options almost from the beginning to get ea...

The sketches look very cool - I'm looking forward to hearing more about this game!

Re: Race in Visual Novels

I just can't bring myself to care that much about racial diversity, or lack thereof, in games. Here in America, when people complain that there aren't enough Hispanic/black/asian/whatever characters in popular entertainment, it seems like it could be fixed by just making some of the characters a few...

Re: APH Otome Game?

It took me a while to figure out what the title of the thread was referring to, but after puzzling for some time over how anyone could possibly make an otome game out of L'Année philologique, I realized it was actually Hetalia... in which case, that'd be fun. :D

Re: Ethnicities on Lemma Soft Forum

I'm American, born on the east coast of the US and still living here - albeit a few hours further south. My dad's family is from New York, and are all descended from Irish immigrants around the turn of the last century; my mom moved here from Korea when she was nine. So sometimes people get confused...

Re: (WIP) Rzeczpozpolita Polska 1647

Looks pretty nifty to me - I haven't had time to play the demo yet, but I like the concept; I haven't played any VN-style games that incorporate that much strategy, so I'm looking forward to trying it out. I'm especially interested to find out what happens if you decide to convert to Protestantism, ...

Re: [WIP] Caesar's Fate (GxB) -- Historical Fiction --

I always liked Suetonius' « καὶ σύ, τέκνον; » better anyway. :D (Even though Suetonius didn't actually think Caesar said it.) Anyway, I think you could plausibly have your MC refer to Caesar as "emperor", if you take it to be equivalent to the Latin imperator , which during the Republic was a title ...

Re: WIP - Remember Me

I couldn't say about gym costs, but around here (Washington DC) expensive restaurants would charge around $70-100 a person (or more) for dinner. I think the most expensive I've heard is $170-ish (!). A single drink would be around $10-$15, I'm guessing. Of course, for a student like me, when I say "...

Re: WIP - Love & Order

It would be nice if the difficulty could be turned down a little - as it is, it seems pretty easy to get into a death spiral of no money + high stress. It'd also be nice if the "projects" list showed when each task expired. It's hard to remember them all, and tedious to go around to all the rooms ch...

Re: WIP - Love & Order

I'm sort of puzzled about the seemingly-random failures while doing tasks... like when the computer doesn't work, or the printer or the copier. Does the technology in this game ever work, or what?

Re: What is your type of guy when playing a GxB game?

1. What kind of guy do you go for first? It kind of varies, really - usually whichever path looks like it'll be the most interesting story. 2. Your favorite stereotype/s for a guy (tsundere,shota,etc.) and why. I'd like to say I don't have one, but actually I think I tend to like megane characters.....

Played it through once, and I have to go sleep in a couple of minutes, so I'll try and write some more comments later.

Re: What do you think about VN with no Renai at all

And yet everyone wants to make a romance story. You know, maybe we shouldn't even be calling them "Original English Language" Visual Novels if we're just going to mimic the Japanese styles and themes. Heck, a lot of vn's here even have characters with Japanese names. /rant I wouldn't say it's just ...
