Lemma Soft Forums

I don't think firecat was asking for a video at all, I think the request is for *art* for their youtube channel page - like banner art, I think? But with a very high resolution, so it displays properly on a TV.

I think the best and most important thing to do is give yourself permission to write a first draft that sucks. Striving for perfection on every sentence you write is an awful trap to fall into. If you spend hours agonizing over a single page (or paragraph, or even word or sentence), you're never goi...

Oooh yeah! You really hit the nail on the head with the pacing in this version - it makes the whole passage very creepy, and it has a great, building rhythm that culminates in the "Queen Composer" sentence at the end. The changes you've made are subtle, but (I think!) quite effective. One more thoug...

Welcome to the forums! :D I think your trimmed version is both an improvement and a step back, surprisingly for similar reasons. Cutting out some of the very short sentences (or merging them into longer sentences) definitely improves the pacing of this excerpt. I think editing: You will be found. Bu...

I'm currently writing my first VN, but I think I've found a setup that works for me. At the suggestion of a few different people on the forums here, I outlined my story and all the branching options in yEd before getting started. I do my actual script writing (with code) in Scrivener . I've been usi...

Oh man, this was fun and creepy - absolutely INCREDIBLE for a 48 hour project. The whole game has a great ambiance, and the scare level builds up nicely. I went from creeped out to apprehensive to dread-filled realization. Brilliant. Definitely worth multiple playthroughs not just to get all the end...

This sounds fun and sassy! I love the spooky setting/aesthetic and think it leave lots of room for fun supernatural hijinks. Your art, as everyone has said, is absolutely lovely. I look forward to seeing what you make of this!

Short but oh-so-sweet. Thanks for this!

Maybe we could add an automated welcome message that would appear in members' inboxes once they signed up? Of course, it should be well written and useful (maybe taking the time to let them know where useful guides or topics can be found, or which admins they could reach out to if they ever have qu...

I know you said you're revamping all the sprites, but this looks and sounds great so far. Honestly, you had me at "carnival." I love the concept and overall aesthetic - just the right combination of dream, fairy tale, and maybe a touch of nightmare (perfect for Carnivale!). I'll definitely be keepin...

Like anon said, I think a lack of context makes this excerpt sort of difficult to read on its own; it's clear that in the full version there's a lot of character development and worldbuilding that's already happened (the relationship between Yasu and Kieth, the shapeshifting, what actually happened ...

As a relatively new member of the forum myself, I think the only thing holding you back from interacting on these forums is a reluctance to do so. It's a very large and active community, so I don't think it's reasonable to expect someone to roll out a red carpet for every new member, but there are n...

I just finished playing through Halloween Otome and immediately went to find out what else you've made, which led me here. HO was so good that, well, I think this sums it up nicely: I WOULD PLAY THIS EVEN IF THE PROTAGONIST WAS A TOMATO. Also, I'm glad you're going pay what you want so I can throw m...

Eee! Thank you for bumping this thread! What a fantastic game! Maybe the first otome that I've played that was so good that as soon as I beat it, I immediately wanted to replay the route I'd just finished. Great characters, great writing, and great fun, not to mention perfectly seasonally appropriat...

I think it depends on what you mostly plan to write, and how much experience you have writing already. Screenwriting will specifically help you learn how to write dialogue and tell stories primarily through dialogue (like a VN), while an introductory creative writing class will probably help with mo...
