Re: Pricing Question

Not sure if you intended me to answer the questions in the thread, but since writing things out makes it easier for me to remember ideas later I'll answer them here. Maybe some of the answers will help in giving me advice. Ask yourself who you want the money from or at least the bulk of the money. T...

Pricing Question

I may be a bit early in my development cycle to ask this, but it's been on my mind a bit lately: I've been working on a VN that I plan to sell when it's finished, and so far I've finished about half the script (~60k words, projected 100k at completion). I took a look at how much it'd cost to get the...

Re: Characters dating one another

I'd say let the side characters have their relationship if that works best for the characters and the story. In the current version of the romance/horror VN I'm working on, the characters the player character doesn't try to date automatically pair up among themselves in every route except one where ...

Re: Happy New Year! Tell us about your upcoming 2015 Project

I'm hoping that sometime this year I'll be able to officially announce and maybe release a demo for my upcoming original visual novel, which started as a fluffy romance game before mutating into a romance/horror hybrid. I also am still working on my Corpse Party fangames, so I hope I can make some g...

Re: Android screen in the Ren'Py Launcher?

Have you updated Ren'Py recently? As far as I can tell, the most recent versions of the launcher should have an "Android" option right under "Build Distributions". Hopefully someone else can confirm, because from what I remember the Android option in the launcher was simply added in an update.

Re: Ren'Py Error with Android SDK after updating

For some reason, updating to 6.18.2 (I think, whatever is most recent release version at the time of this post) fixed the errors I had when trying to load the game on my phone. I haven't tested to see if the SDK extracts from the launcher properly, though.

Re: Ren'Py Error with Android SDK after updating

I deleted both of the directories and the ZIP files they were extracted from and redownloaded. This is what the android..txt said when I tried again: I'm compiling a short test program, to see if you have a working JDK on your system. The JDK is present and working. Good! Apache ANT has already been...

Re: Ren'Py Error with Android SDK after updating

My Ren'Py Install has the directory path [renpy-6.17.6-sdk\rapt\android-sdk-r23\tools] instead of [renpy-6.18.2-sdk/rapt/android-sdk-r23/tools] for some reason. Inside that tools directory I see the following items: -apps (folder) -lib (folder) -support (folder) -templates (folder) -mksdcard.exe -mo...

Re: Ren'Py Error with Android SDK after updating

I switched to the Prerelease channel, updated, and tried to run the Android SDK Install again. Here is what my android.txt says this time: I'm compiling a short test program, to see if you have a working JDK on your system. The JDK is present and working. Good! Apache ANT has already been unpacked. ...

Re: Ren'Py Error with Android SDK after updating

Downloading the update. In the meantime, this is what I found in the android.txt file in the tmp directory of the project I had selected when I tried to set up the Android SDK (I hope this is the right file/info): I'm compiling a short test program, to see if you have a working JDK on your system.

Ren'Py Error with Android SDK after updating

I recently updated from Ren'Py 6.17.6 to the most recent version (6.18-something), and while I was able to create Android distribution packages just fine before updating I now can't get Ren'Py to recognize the Android SDK. When I try to click "Install SDK and Create Keys" I get this error: I'm sorry...

Re: How did you name your indie game studio/team?

Not sure how much my "team" of a writer and an artist counts, but I'll share. In my case, the artist didn't join the first project we worked on together until after most of the game (aside from the art) was finished, so we didn't really use a team name for that project. For our second (current) proj...

Re: Commission Woes

If it's not too late, i'd file a complaint with paypal (if you went through them), or even your credit card company. You could potentially file a report with the police as well since you paid quite a bit in total. I think everyone who was scammed by him should file a complaint. Since I'm a fine bel...

Re: Commission Woes

Taking music from elsewhere and claiming it as your own is totally reprehensible and makes all composers look bad. Really sorry to hear this. Does this composer have their own website or just something like a Soundcloud page? When working with a reputable professional, there is communication going ...

Re: Commission Woes

I sent a message to some of the people who had posted in the composer's thread pointing them to this thread with some information about what happened. Hopefully no one else was scammed, though... @fleet: That doesn't change that the thread ended up locked. Is it possible to request a lock from a mod...
