Re: The "Unorthodox" Dating Sim/Otome Game?
How about this: Make a traditional date sim (one guy, multiple girls to choose from); however, have the player play as one of the girls. It would allow you to explore what it would be like for the girl in such games.

Re: Distributing a commercial game?
Trying to get onto Steam at the moment requires dealing with Greenlight, which will cost you a little bit of upfront money and a good bit of marketing time (you'll need several thousand votes to get in under the current system). It is probably better to hold off until you have a little experience d...

Re: Distributing a commercial game?
I've heard good things about itch.io . It's free too and currently you get all the profit from your sales (apparently it's usually 10%). But of course, if you use paypal or other services to receive funds, they still get a cut. WRT Steam, it's not that easy to get on, so maybe Desura can be an alte...

Re: Advice on making a demo build for soliciting assets
I'm a huge proponent of this strategy and I've done it both ways. Making a demo with placeholder graphics can always be a fail-safe in case no artists come through. You'd at least be able to release a CC version of the story. This is what I did for one of my VNs just so it would get out the door in...

Re: Making VN Trailers
Do trailers need to show case the actual game? I'm used to trailers from KEY such as Clannad, or Rewrite. etc None-gameplay trailers are best if you want to hype something people already know about. But the problem is the the lack of knowledge in the West of what exactly is a VN. Thus a gameplay tr...

Re: Distributing a commercial game?
On a side note, it's always a major plus to get your game on Steam considering how millions of millions of people use it. I'm not sure how you would go about doing that, but Valve is moving to make steam a more open system, and I think I've heard them talking about making selling games of Steam comp...

Re: VN Writing Circles. Interested?
1. A small, tight group; like 5 people or so? 2. I would prefer some way of privately sharing work (for reasons I will discus below); I don't have any attachment to any certain kind of method, so whatever works best; also, integrating the irc in some way would be nice (I mean, that is where the idea...

Advice on making a demo build for soliciting assets
I have grown close to finishing the script of my first VN and I will soon need to start soliciting for art and music assets. One of the ideas of going about getting art/music assets is creating a demo that's specifically for interested parties. It would serve two purposes: 1) Show that I have a soli...
