Re: Little Mauve Riding Hood [revisited tale][comedy][free]

I enjoyed this one, too -- enough to find all the possible endings. I especially liked how you can make granny let down her guard by promising uncensored Matlock DVDs. And I also liked how the nursing home owner seemed kind of corrupt and profit-driven. It was a good way to do something funny with a...

Re: One Night at Amphora [Comedy][Friendship][Fantasy][NaNo2

Hey, you could write a story about a fish who wants to be the Undersea God or Goddess of Rock! That could work, although I neglected to mention that if the fish story ever sees the light of the Internet, it will involve flying trout. They will live in the sky and be no better at playing guitars tha...

Re: One Night at Amphora [Comedy][Friendship][Fantasy][NaNo2

I just finished playing this and I really liked it a lot! A future release could use some polish----I saw one word missing, one homophone issue (affect vs. effect) and one sentence with a repeated word or two. But this was quite good. The writing was very natural, which worked well with your story....

Re: Three Guys That Paint [BxG/BxB] [NaNoRenO 2015] +DLC

This is really awesome! I downloaded it without really looking at the promo material, just because I liked the title and the art style. If this had been a low-key game about some dudes getting their paint on, I probably would've enjoyed it for the quality of the animation. But you really got me when...

Re: bond[Drama][Relationships]["KN"][NaNoRenO2015]

Cool stuff! I'm just an amateur when it comes to music production, but to my ears, the mix on that last song was super solid and the vocals worked well. Sounds like a bit like something off the Bastion soundtrack with a little more reverb. As for the story: I figured out fairly early what was going ...

Re: Scallywags [Fantasy] [Kinetic] [NaNoRenO 2015]

This is the cutest re-telling of Reservoir Dogs I've ever seen. I'm guessing it's unintentional... but there are totally similarities. You've got a group of characters who just scored a bucketload money, but the plot is set after the heist with some flashbacks. One of the characters really hates tip...

Re: Other author's work as inspiration - how far can I go?

I also want to put on my totally-not-a-copyright-lawyer hat for a second. I'm not advising you to do anything in particular, just mentioning some things that seem to be lesser known and which may be helpful for deciding. One thing some people don't realize is that copyright law varies from country t...

Re: One Night at Amphora [Comedy][Friendship][Fantasy][NaNo2

The writing was my favourite aspect of the game. The characters back-and-forths (especially about the whiskey) had a natural slice-of-life feel for me. I really liked that the supernatural charms/magic was not at all important to the story, maybe it is more in the other path! I didn't make jello th...

Re: A Standard Mission [KN][Action/Comedy][NaNo2015]

Yes, I agree on the fighting part. For a while we had longer and more extensive fighting, but we realized that it did not work in a visual novel. It could, but then you'd need a lot of CG's and we did not have the time for that. Yes, that one fight where you used the CG was cool! I'd imagine a CG-f...

Re: Target: Valentino [RPG][CrimeFighting][NaNo2015]

hope the grind wasn't that bad! It wasn't too bad for a game of this length, since you're learning the play mechanics and seeing new enemies at a relatively steady rate. Part of it may have been me forgetting to save! In any case, if you ever did something longer, it sounds like you have some inter...

Re: Target: Valentino [RPG][CrimeFighting][NaNo2015]

but, this game is too easy. Hmm... I must be fairly bad because I definitely got a few game overs. :) I actually thought the combat and flow of the game were well-balanced. And all the GUI stuff was great! Once you get the hang of the combat, it does turn into "grinding" a little bit, and as you me...

Re: One Night at Amphora [Comedy][Friendship][Fantasy][NaNo2

Just released the first update! The links above will now take you to the newest version. The biggest change is that Ashkii, the player character, now gets his own sprite for, like, five seconds. The game is also now available through itch.io. Finally, in my most recent test run, I noticed that a cou...

Re: Best Tear Jerker Music Pieces

Main theme from Grave of the Fireflies.

I love all the Ghibli films, but Grave of the Fireflies is just unbelievable -- easily the most painfully human animated film I've ever seen.

Re: New Pisces [Pysch][Cerebral][Rhythm?][NaNoRenO 2015]

I really liked the central gameplay element with the music in this one. I kept trying to intentionally make decisions off-rhythm to make it sound like one of the trippier early Aphex Twin songs... Experimental is A-OK with my tastes, probably even my preference but certainly not the requirement. I d...
