Re: Trivial choices

Assuming I understand your definition: I like a mix of trivial choices and important ones. But I don't really think of them in that way. To my thinking there are structural and content choices. Structural choices are well... structural. They determine in the grand scheme how to the visual novel is s...

Re: Shadow City [Magical Girl][Noir]

Thank you all so much for your quick responses! @Kisa:Thanks! @Enigma 3. I think that it could work, but it would be wide to code your descisions in some way people don't have to read the choices. You can't really account for reading speed. For example, making all offensive moves written in red whil...

Re: Emissary of Starlight [Magical Girl] [Psychological]

Just dropping back in to say I really like your screenshots! I want to play you game tons now. Also your additions to the profiles helped a lot! I too am really intrigued by the MC here, and I think part of it is that he is so very different from the normal sort of character you play in both role an...

Re: Yuri Game Jam

Um... hi, I have a quick question. I am currently working on a longer project, and I am considering making the demo for the Yurijam. The themes of the story, and specifically the story of the demo involve the main character's relationship with three separate female characters (one that dominates the...

Re: Do you hate your writing?

So my brain generates literally like a story idea a week--and it has, every week, since I was like 10. Most of them are in one ear and out the other, but anything that lasted long enough for me to actually write something on it had SOMETHING going for it. I may cringe a little when looking at my old...

Re: Hocus Pocus Prince [Otome][Comedy][Commerical] - 1st DEM

Huh, well that went a little differently than I expected. But Let's see. Answering Questions. 1. Do you prefer to play on PC or mobile? I would probably play on PC, but I am not sure I have the right mobile platform. 2. How much do you usually pay for visual novels or otome games (if at all)? I don'...

Re: Basic imagemap Menu Question

You can download the sample game that's attached to that tutorial and see where it's placed in that script. Thank you for the reply. EDIT: Wait no, scratch that I understand what you are saying now. I will try that. Thanks for your help. EDIT2: I discovered the issue. The wiki-page I was reading wa...

Basic imagemap Menu Question [SOLVED]

Hi, so I am quite new to Ren'Py--I've been teaching myself to program for about a week now. I decided that today I was going to tackle making a more interesting main menu. A little bit of poking around on the wiki revealed that I needed to modify the options script and I eventually ended up on this ...

Re: 2012 Apocalypse Squad [GxB, GxG] [Dark Magical Girl]

This looks really fun! I really like the idea of heroes trying to prepare for an inevitable event. I think it really lends itself to the visual novel style since you have a good rigid structure for yourself (the thing that happens must always happen) but then you can also play with all the different...

Re: Emissary of Starlight [Magical Girl] [Psychological]

Hm, that's interesting--it's really not at all what I got from the synopsis. I think the issue is that you focus so much on the convergence and the great tragedy that you don't spend a lot of time with the characters and their grounding points. You never once, for instance, in your info talk about w...

Re: Emissary of Starlight [Magical Girl] [Psychological]

Hi! I've actually been secretly stalking this thread (And all the other MG VN I could find) before I joined the forum, so I thought I'd make a more official post now. Anyway, Questions! 1. What's your opinion on the synopsis? (For example, does it sound cliche, interesting, bare, etc.) Truthfully I ...

Re: Guestbook

Hi, I'm Parataxis, I sometimes go by Blade. I am very new to everything. About 4 months ago my sister approached me with the idea of turning one of my story ideas (Originally a television show) into a visual novel using Ren'Py. I had never heard of the program before then and had played exactly Phoe...
