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

Minor error in the Linux version (don't know if it affects the other builds): clicking "Options" on the main menu, viewing the credits, and then clicking "Return" causes the game to crash. I can confirm that this is in the Mac build, too. But other than that, I thought this game was great! I partic...

Shooting the piano player: Shooting the piano player is just for fun, and doesn't affect the score at all. If you do shoot the piano player, the Mayor mentions it briefly at the end, but it doesn't affect your final evaluation score. It also stops the music in the saloon, of course! Aw poor guy--so...

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

Thanks for the feedback, sonorousgem! That's interesting -- I had written Ashkii as a male character, without thinking much about it. One of my first plans for an update is to give him a sprite at some point... I suppose it doesn't really matter for the story though what gender Ashkii is. Actually, ...

Re: Partisans: 1st Offensive [Historical][NaNoRenO 2015]

Interesting... I was actually just reading about Transylvania in WWII (a little more north, I think, but another less-covered area of the war).

The art looks great, and that soundtrack sounds like it will be cool!

Best of luck with the prototype!

Re: What is the last movie you watched?

Whiplash

It is a tone-deaf movie that totally misrepresents jazz, creativity, and adolescence.

I kind of enjoyed it, though.

Re: Which ceased/abandoned game do you want finished?

Beyond Good & Evil 2 . I'm sorry, Michel Ancel, if you are secretly a member of this board, but you are currently in a race with Valve's Half-Life team to become the developer of "this generation's Duke Nukem Forever ," and I don't think that's a race you want to lose. But I'll wait! In the words o...

Re: Western Destiny [Humor/Adventure] [NaNoRenO 2015]

I liked the structure of this VN, and how by playing through once or twice, you could get a sense of how things were going to change on the next playthrough. For example: On my first time through, I was a drunken asshole. I stayed in the bar all day, was mean to everyone, and let Bullet Pete get awa...

Re: Western Destiny [Humor/Adventure] [NaNoRenO2015]

Hey, I just wanted to drop by again and say that based on the sprites, setting, and music, this is one of my most-anticipated Nano games. So congrats on finishing! One thing: I'm hearing a strange volume spike in one of the guitars around :30 in the main theme (song 7). That's probably a quick fix i...

Re: Love/Hate relationship with being a dev?

I like how Renpy lets me pretend I'm a programmer. :D I don't know Python and use only the most basic transitions, variables, UI modifications, etc. But Editra makes me feel like I am a golden god of computers and that my haphazardly indented dialogue is actually a work of Alan Turing-level technolo...

Re: How to write characters that people love in a short time

Perhaps you will benefit by letting your characters give the reader an easy-to-understand first impression. After the first few scenes or chapters, start showing the characters' layers and what makes them complex. The advice I hear most often (and what's helped for me!) is similar to what gekiganwi...

Re: Sound Effects, Music Not Playing

What file format are you using? For whatever reason, I've had trouble with certain .WAV files not playing... and have not been able to figure out why they're different from the .WAV files that do work. But .OGG files seem to work universally, take up less space, and will sound fine to everyone but t...
