Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

I tend to not touch my tablet for long periods of time due to lazyness, but at least I have the excuse of having been on a long trip this time (Art block is evil even when I can't actually draw any dynamic poses yet, so I just had to scribble something)

Re: Ideas Dump

Aish, I can't believe I forgot about the wonderful pigeon game (Hatoful Kareshi). I've never played the alpaca one before (lol, though I've actually seen it around somewhere), and I haven't played Saya no Uta yet either (shame on me). On the other hand, another idea: A story where Kaguya-hime really...

Re: Ideas Dump

I think it'd be fun to have a story where the main character sees everyone as something that's not human, like robots (like in Quaila the Purple) or bears (Yuri Kuma Arashi manga version). Adding a bit of "reality is what you believe" or sci-fi/fantasy could be funny too (like having the humans that...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

One should never try drawing a hyena without a proper reference if the last hyena you ever saw was in the Disney Lion King movie that you watched like a few years ago :v ...yea, nopes. I'm very out of practice with animals and everything else...

Re: Ecchi Exploit(Yuri)(Polygamy)

What do you think of the world and plot summary? Is it interesting? It seems interesting. It's a little odd and unique, but I suppose that might be a good thing. It stands out, that's for sure. What do you want to see explore in polygamy relationship in this visual novel? Balancing relationships. Fr...

Thanks! If it doesn't work out, I'll try some of the methods you guys use.

Re: Ideas Dump

A story about government and chaotic junk in a country that is run by teenagers for some reason. Main character is the head of the system, and based on choices throughout the common route, the not yet really formed system of government is molded into something... some form of government, I suppose. ...

Would this possibly be easier to script like?

I often get stuck when trying to start write the script for a VN (then, again, I get stuck writing everything besides essays...) since I want to write it like a very descriptive story because I can't really visualize the things happening. I have an elective course in school right now that's about vi...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

Sometimes, just scribbling randomly is a great way to relieve non-existent stress. :v that being said...this coloring isn't as bad as I usually do it... but it's so scribbly XD

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...

When you're trying to get people to take a survey... I need to get less impatient. OTL http://goo.gl/forms/VKP3B6Qf7F (can someone take it for me, please?) My life is probably lacking in serious problems, but I always have so much blank space, and I feel like I have no motivation to do things. I'm n...

Re: Basing a VN on a historical figure?

It works, but honestly, I don't know what I should say. I actually haven't seen many stories about an actual Jack-the-Ripper, creepy guy who cuts apart women in the smoggy, foggy, dusty London of the time period. You don't often see people making visual novels about people that look old or ugly. A l...

Re: Problem with naming everything...

For character names, I usually take something with relations to the character's role--like a girl who lived could be called Vivian because Vivian (with an accent) is the imperfect form of vivir (to live) conjugated for a 'them'/plural pronoun thing or like, in some shows, character names are just pu...

Re: How much control would you want as co-author

I've done co-authoring before (for a fanfiction, which may or may not be forever in my pile of stuff that I feel awkward looking at nowadays). It's a little different from visual novels, but we worked together and discussed the outline of the scenes and found compromises that both authors liked. It'...

Re: Thoughts on the Quick Menu

They're not really necessary, but I like having the backlog and auto in reach. Q. Save and Q.Load have never been really much use to me though. Load and Save are fine, but I usually prefer right-clicking (or something) and bringing up the whole system-y part of the game. I like it when the quick men...

Re: Choices of no return?

I wouldn't want to not be able to see the different routes--I'm a bit of a completionist, but it would be cool to add an extras section where you can replay the game a kinetic novel kind of like how you can replay ecchi...scenes...in...ero...games... in extras sometimes.
