Re: Arachne's Writing Samples (Challenge me with a prompt?)
It all looks solid to me. I imagine that some of your visual descriptions would be trimmed once all the art is in place.

Re: Questions for artists //help
It might be brainstorm time! I'd go someplace away from computers with a pen and paper, and start jotting ideas down. This works best if you can drag one of your creative buddies along to bounce ideas off of. Creative superpowers like Pixar do this very thing.

Xblaze: A VN without narration
Xblaze- Code: Embryo launched in North America on June 24th. It took me awhile to realize it, but this VN has NO narration whatsoever. It's 100% voiced dialog, with a few bits of monologue slipped in. This approach seems to work quite well, but it's probably expensive on the development side, since ...

Re: Need tips for finding artists
I agree with some of the others that have indicated that the unwillingness to pay is the main problem. It creates two major barriers: 1) Unpaid gigs are generally put behind even the cheapest paid tasks, and nearly anything else that the artist needs or wants to do. I'd expect an artist to put aside...

Re: Websites
I've used 1&1 for years, and have never had any problems with them. I've never used any of their site-building tools, though.
I'd look into some templates for building a site, if I were me: http://html5up.net/

Re: Commission prices?
As others have said, your art's worth whatever the market will bear. I don't care if you're 40 or 4, if the goods are up to snuff. To answer the actual question, I'd charge $25, and let someone wiggle it down to $20 if they're nice about it. If someone said something like "young artists don't deserv...

Re: CGs vs "cartoonized" or filtered photos
I think well-done photo manipulations can yield decent results. I do a combination of both photo editing and 3D, myself. A building might be modeled and rendered, but common trimmings like bushes, trees, and the sky may be cut out and edited from photo sources.

Re: True Endings
I like how Tsukihime did endings. Most of the routes had at least two endings, and reaching every possible ending unlocked an epilogue that didn't reference the specifics of any route.

Re: Do you play as same or opposite gender?
I play as same gender, a lot of people don't, so I wouldn't be bothered by anyone that played as opposite gender.

Re: Love to design games... Can't math.
As a game designer, I don't use super-complicated math much. Usually it's not much more than (PSEUDO-CODE EXAMPLE) "Create a black box that covers exactly half of the screen: MakeBlackBox(width = the width of the screen divided by 2; height = the height of the screen) <- This isn't real code! Now, y...

Re: Do you ever feel like your game is not good enough?
All the time. Fight it off by getting some feedback. I tend to feel much more confident after I've had people test and provide their opinions. (plus a round of edits and fixes, of course)

Re: Lemma is in Austin :)
Austin is a pretty fit town, overall. If I wasn't summering in Dallas, I'dve been up for meeting.
