Re: Romance VNs/Dating Sims are dubious manipulation games?

Well, the thing about romance games of any nature is that they're systematising love. Systems, at their most basic, are defined responses to actions and scenarios. For example, you push a button (action) and it makes a sound (defined response). Games are systems designed to create interesting experi...

Re: Lovely Little Thieves [GxB/G] [Horror/Romance]

Oh man, horror game with a GxG route? Sign me right up, this sounds really cool! I love the character designs, the rough colour-coding of them is nifty, and the backgrounds look utterly amazing-- there's such a creepy atmosphere to them, I love it. As far as the plot goes, I'm a sucker for haunted h...

Re: Voice Acting for MC in Otome Games - Yay or Nay?

I think, unless you have a good reason for not having the MC voiced (for example; if you're making some kind of plot point out of it, or if they're a faceless MC and you want people to project on them) it's best to take an all-or-nothing approach. Leaving your MC unvoiced when the rest of the cast i...

Re: Looking for some free voice packs

Agreeing with Gear on this; you're best off going to VAA or VAC and posting threads there with the characters you're looking for and some test lines for them, then holding auditions. I'd assume voicepacks are, by and large, going to be based around fighting noises, so you might have trouble finding ...

Re: Sedatophobia [Mystery][Horror]

I really like this story concept; from a personal standpoint, I feel like I could really identify with and enjoy the protagonist since I've got a similar issue where sitting in silence for too long makes me feel like disasters are going to happen, and I have to fill things up with noise or my emotio...

Re: Any tips on writing a Nakige?

I'm not too savvy on nakige visual novels, having not played any myself, but I think this article might be of help here . It's an excerpt from a panel with the creator of Nier and Drakengard, Yoko Taro, where he spoke about creating games that're meant to build around a particular emotion, such as s...

Re: Difficult Subjects in VNs

I essentially agree with Aurelie on this one-- I think doing a game which includes difficult subject matter is fine, but doing a game strictly about something difficult and traumatic would seem exploitative (unless it's coming from some sort of personal place, of course-- I always feel like, where t...

Re: Like She Had Wings [action/urban fantasy/romance]

Whoo, updated the first post with sprites for demon Art, Jane, and then Wolfgang's sprite is also featured down the page! Also, GUI is done (unless extra features/menus are added further down the track), and Doc's route is almost halfway written. Progress, ahoy!

[UNPAID] Editor/Assistant Writer Needed [FOUND]

Hi all! Work on my main VN project, Like She Had Wings , is currently going very slowly due to me having no help with writing and some things I’m well and truly stuck on. So, to remedy this, I’m looking for an assistant writer/editor to help me figure out what’s working, what isn’t, and bounce ideas...

Re: Like She Had Wings [action/urban fantasy/romance]

Whoo, first update in a coupla weeks! So, Cafechan has just revamped the logo so it has the new title, and I've added that back into the first post for everyone to ooh and ahh at. On a different note altogether; Morhighan's been doing awesome stuff with the GUI for me lately, so here's a preview of ...

Thank you very much for the feedback!

Re: DEVN 2014 - Demographics of EVN Community - Results

So what might that be about? Well, I'm 42 and I came here from the art game scene. I did not come here because I like Japanese VN and anime about high schoolers. The focus on high school romance is, frankly, off-putting. I can imagine that being alienating for a lot of older folks. On the other han...
