Seconding Barabisama, the really, really obvious way... you just gotta treat them like real people. Everyone's got their own ways of working on that, and there are more aspects and angles to consider than anyone can comprehensively cover in one post, so here's a couple of my main points of considera...

Ah, I getcha! Sorry I misinterpreted your question. Okay, well the main separation between people being voice actors and people just reading things is (shock horror) in the acting. Anyone can do a voice (put on an accent, pitch themselves higher up/lower down, make themselves sound more nasal, etc e...

I haven't VAed in any visual novels as of yet, but I've been in other projects (fandubs, other game voicework, etc etc), and generally for VAing online you need three things: 1) Acting skills (obviously) 2) A good microphone 3) Editing abilities (enough to cut lines and edit any sound quality issues...

I haven't given you comments on your work in progress because your project isn't done yet and I don't even frequent the WIP boards. When your project is done I'll certainly play it and give you feedback. But I would hope you wouldn't not work on a project that is important to you, that you believe ...

Ooh, I hadn't seen this around until just now, but I am super intrigued. I like the fact that despite the school setting, you're going a very unconventional route with the story and the style of the school itself-- I love the look of the character designs, even just the small sections shown in the p...

@Googaboga-- Tris + Mariana and Sinbad (original outfit) + Alasdair also share colour schemes, if you look closely. What could it all meeean~? ;O Well, nothing much, until you read the story, but when you do, think of it as a cue on how to examine everyone's relationships. It's meant to be a kind of...

Hellooo all! So, everything's shaping up well on the game-- GUI is well underway, ditto for music, and I'm still hoping that I can get things wrapped up within roughly the next month or so. I'm posting today mostly to update on the writing side of things! At the moment, I'm about 80% done with the w...

Very much agreeing with Fleet on that-- I think another thing to think about, in relation to this thread, is encouraging creators who are making stuff outside Japanese setting GxB/BxG love stories, so that they know there's an audience out there for things outside the norm. The main game I'm working...

Wow, I just played through the demo, and it was great! I love the characters, but Randy, Jay and espeeecially Dani were my favourites at this point. I'm very excited for the full 2-hour demo, and seeing what'll happen once they make it to the mansion! I couldn't think of any major critiques I have a...

In theory, I believe in death of the author (I'm majoring in media studies at university right now-- half the time, media studies is just proposing alternate meanings to works); in practice I find myself accidentally privileging author's intent over other interpretations. In my case, I really like t...

So, to clarify, the idea is that we'd put each others characters in each of our games (if we can fit them) and have cameos that carry across a bunch of different projects? Assuming I'm interpreting it right, I think that'd be a really cute idea! A couple of other questions to clarify what you're mea...

I can't remember where I read it or who said it, but something I ran into recently with regards to the 'everything now is moeblob crap' argument: when looking at the present state of any industry, you see all the products within it, whereas once you're looking back on the past, only the good, popula...

I'm an outliner, through and through! Generally, when I start a story, I'll have a document with world/character planning, which covers all details I think I'll need to incorporate into the writing (and some to spare as well, mostly so I can add flavour) as well as a document with a scene-by-scene ...

Three more sprites added! Emma, Clarence and Cecil have been thrown onto the front page for scrutiny. With them done, there's only three sprites left and we're finished. Unfortunately, two of the three remaining are spoilerific, but you'll get to see Sunshine, so that's something. After the base spr...
