Re: Symbolism

"Why use symbolism when more than 90% of casual readers won't pick it up?" I believe that viewers who say that they either a) don't pick up symbolism, or b) say that they don't like symbolism, actually do pick up on symbolism. They just do so on a subconscious level. Just wanted to add, I definitel...

Re: Questions on donating a portion of profits to charity

Thanks for the input! I think you make a good point, NialGrenville, about trust within a community. I like KittyWills's idea about time crunch donations too. For the record, I had been considering I guess what you'd call a charity-commercial model with a fixed-min price (i.e. like Humble Bundle wher...

Thanks, qirien! Yes, it really seems like people want to spread the punches around. I can't compete with Punch Quest in quantity of punches, so I tried to make up for it in quality!

Re: Our Personal Space 2 [Sci-fi][Farming Sim][Parenting Sim

Oh, cool! The farming/parenting angle sounds like an interesting idea for this sequel. Did you play the first game? If so, would you be sad if some of your decisions did not carry over (Kelly's profession, hobbies, decision to have kids or not?)? Yes, I did! Honestly, I think I played to see 2 diffe...

Questions on donating a portion of profits to charity

For an upcoming visual novel, I'm considering donating a portion of any sales to charity. Does anyone have experience with this, and are there any unexpected complications? My main concern is, I'm wondering how much transparency people expect when you claim something like "with every sale, X amount ...

Re: Add a character voice sound effect

I've never tried Ocelot's method (which sounds like it would also work), but I think if you just add loop=True to the existing code, you'll get the effect you're looking for. This is a generic version of the code I used for Kill Your Refrigerator and Banality Man (where the sound effect is just a co...

Re: How do YOU organise your characters?

For longer writing projects, I like Film Crit Hulk's character trees . It's a variation on a popular format like the one gamerbum suggested. For something short like NaNoRenO or for minor characters, I may not write everything out, but I try to go through a similar checklist to "character trees" in ...

Re: Writing software?

I know the obvious would be Word or Notepad, but is there a free software you can keep all of your ideas, character notes, scene notes, random notes, outlining, etc organized in one place? I don't really want a folder with 30+ files of notes and writings for one story. A pencil and a notebook? :D T...

Re: Diverse Character Dilemma

Is it generally preferable to try writing "diverse" characters, even if the writer is unfamiliar with the subject and may potentially "get some things wrong", or is it better to leave "diverse" characters out of the story so that the writer could never possibly "get any things wrong"? I used to won...

Re: Banality Man [VN][Comedy][Cartoon][Pop Culture][NaNo16]

Do you happen to know how I could reset the ending counter? I'd like to show the game to some other people from the beginning. Hmm... good question. I think what you have to do is find the folder where your computer stores the saves and delete the "persistent" data. I think by default on Windows co...

Thanks, Sayumi101! :) I had a problem with my signature earlier, and I thought I fixed it... but it looks like I accidentally turned it into a different problem. :? But it should be fixed now!
