Re: New Term for Visual Novels? [split]

How does one read a traditional made-out-of-paper novel? By touching the pages and turning them. Plus, "Touch Novel" seems a bit...naughty. I'd like to think that when people hear the word "touch" as a product description, the idea that pops into their head is that of modern digital interaction, no...

Re: New Term for Visual Novels? [split]

The problem I'm seeing with most of you who disagree with the "touch novel" idea is that you all treat the idea of "touch" like it's some kind of unusual niche thing. It isn't. It's rapidly becoming a standard method of computer interaction. Most new computer electronics have a generic capacitive to...

Re: Essential features for EVEN: a new visual novel engine

How's the engine going? Any update on this? Construct2 integration is really crucial, as that will take care of essentially every other type of gameplay. I can't wait to make a Victorian-Era beat-em-up with paragraph-long diatribes in NVL spoken with Shakespearean dialect. It's going fantastic. A l...

Re: Visuals for KN

I advocate that we should get away from the terms Visual novel and Kinetic novel, particularly when talking to people outside the community. For instance: [reasons] I agree with that for similar reasons and have been thinking about it for some time. An additional reason I'd add is that it totally o...

New Term for Visual Novels? [split]

As a disclaimer, I'm of the boat that VNs are more about story than they are about gameplay. Key difference is when I'm playing a "game", I am in essence competing with something. Struggling to overcome a certain obstacle or challenge imposed by the rules. With a story, it's not about overcoming, mo...

Re: How to Work with Programmers

Speaking as a programmer myself, I don't really agree with the 1st one on being called an "engineer". Perhaps that's something you've encountered, but I personally have never felt a need to be called a specific kind of title, especially not an engineer. Programming is an art form that can be conside...

Re: Episodes Versus Full Length VNs

A bit tongue in cheek: It's fine to release a game in episodes - just don't tell people what you're doing. I mean, even if you are releasing a game in episodes, each episode has to stand alone anyway - it would be deeply unsatisfying to play a game, only for it to end without any resolution. But on...

Re: Website/Blog for Showcasing Various Visual Novel GUI

Is there going to be a "common GUIs" guide or article made for your website at some point? I ask because I'm developing a visual novel engine (info in my signature). While it's designed to be infinitely customizable, I realize most people won't be bothered to learn it deep enough to actually take ad...

Re: 2014 Nanoreno Post Mortem!

Finish the script BEFORE NaNoRenO. Though in my defense I only decided to participate in NaNo a two days before it began. Another thing is don't underestimate the need for a fast computer. Whereas concept sketches were lightning quick in Clip Studio, it really started to bog down as I started adding...

Yeah I got it. I sent a reply. Lack of a sent messages folder has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen in a modern social service. This should be illegal.

Goodness gracious now I feel really bad, I thought only a handful of people were interested since I got so few replies. Thanks for your continued interest and rest assured I will work to make it of the best quality I can. I'll create a Work in Progress thread dedicated to this project soon.

Re: A Confession

Pretty new to Lemmasoft, but it sounds like a pretty big deal. Unless timezone differences resulting in this being an April Fool's joke.
