I suspect that Live2D is going to get increasingly popular for use in commercial VNs.

Sounds to me like you need to trust your audience a bit more. Not every line of spoken dialogue needs to be accompanied by dialogue tags, even when you're writing in the novel format (which is certainly something you can do in a Visual Novel ). In fact, cold-opens are a great way to start a scene. T...

That is insane.

I would like to echo indoneko's sentiments to other users in this thread who have leveled accusations of rudeness against Hayel's critics. Taosym in particular is owed at least a couple of apologies.

Disgraceful.

There is nothing rude or presumptuous about the concerns being brought up in this thread. The illustration in question bears the hallmarks of being traced beyond the point of reasonable doubt and andrewngn13 has presented sufficient evidence to prove it. You should take Taosym's advice. Stop doing t...

Writing dialogue for a story can be tricky because you have two opposing forces pulling against each other. On one hand, you have the plot, which wants to progress and reach the next arc, chapter, or scene. On the other, you have banter and discussion, which wants to mill about accomplishing diddly ...

Unless you're building a complex VN with a large number of choices and characters who are contained within a small environment, I don't see the necessity in formally organizing information about your characters. Similarly to Kinjo, I just kept a small list of major and minor characters in a notepad,...

It may seem like the eastern commercial artstyles found in anime have a stranglehold on popularity, but ultimately, the audience only really cares about whether what they're looking at is ugly or not. In comparison, western artstyles tend to be darker, grittier, and more focused on detailing than ea...

I strongly recommend writing your story as a novel before you turn it into a screenplay.

I don't really agree with the statement that there's no such thing as a VN with replay value. I reread books that I enjoyed and would like to re-experience fairly often. VNs are no different; a little while ago I replayed Shiro's and Travis' routes in Re: Alistair++ because I enjoyed them. Replay v...

Developed protagonists are vastly superior to avatar protagonists.

There's really no such thing as a VN with replay value, unless perhaps there are significant gameplay mechanics which bring that value, but that's rather sidestepping the point. Readers are unlikely to re-read scenes they've already seen, either by only pursuing the route and choices they wanted on ...

You seem confident that you've accounted for the effects these power disparities should have in your setting, and it looks like you've got a clear purpose and message to your story. Not for nothing, my criticism was worded pretty harshly, and you took it sportingly. That resilience will serve you an...

Hoo boy, power levels. You may have just gone and overcomplicated things for yourself with that one. With the introduction of power levels, the entire physics of your world must see a complete upheaval and a total departure from reality such that we would scarcely be able to recognize very many - if...

Having recovered from the epileptic seizure induced by your post, I thought I'd offer you a few pointers. Please tone down the colors. Presumably we're trying to read an advertisement of your skillset and not a bag of skittles. Take it easy and spare us the trouble of having to click and drag over y...
