@Caveat Lector about "writing" I got that gist but still felt the need to point out what I said. Modern experiences and feelings don't translate 1:1 in other settings, hell even history if you look. That kind of thing. It seems arbitrary to denounce potential canon queer characters on a criteria tha...

This reminded me of something else, I don't think I've ever seen a demi-sexual character portrayed in a game...or anywhere for that matter. It's not the same as what you're talking about, but it seems like a line someone of that orientation might say sort of. I think the difference between that por...

As for the trope of 'I'm straight except for this character', eh, it can be a little played out but I wouldn't say it's offensive, myself. I'd say this'd be something for a bisexual person to unpack, not me, since it's more about playing down potential bisexuality (since they're supposedly straight...

I agree that the uncertainty point is adding more drama to the story for me, which I like, but isn't it also something to relate to? And is this "it's bad but it feels oh so good" absolutely wrong or just boring and cliche (I mean it seems pretty logical from the outside to find out about your sexu...

I agree with Hijiri that everyone should make a game they want. And it's only normal that there're less GxG games than BxG/GxB. But I'm really interested to know what everyone means by queer games for queer audience, how are BxB for women different from BxB for guys (GxG seems more obvious with fan...

There is already plenty of GxG porn Really? Because I get the feeling that from hanging out on /u/ I know every single yuri game that exists, H or otherwise , something that I really couldn't say about bishoujo games or even yaoi ones. There's plenty of stray art but not a whole lot of games solely...

There will be always a lack of GxG games. Always. Partly because there's just a few developers willing to make one. The demand for such games are obscure compared to the apparent and sometimes blatant clamor of fangirls wanting BxB lol. As I mentioned before, there are 61 purely GxG games in the WI...

Off the top of my head some major things with rodent MCs that are well-respected and commercial successes: -The Redwall series (not exclusively rats but still) -The Great Mouse Detective -The Secrets of NIMH (movie or novel take your pick!) -In Dark Souls 2 there is a whole covenant and lore dedicat...

Ok OP this will likely sound like an asshole suggestion buuuuuuuuuuuuuut: -Write a story or take one of your current ones -Swap the sexes -Take notes of what change or what you may think you want to change about the characters actions or appearances. Honestly speaking writing female characters is on...

Oh. I don't have a money issue so I may be able to afford it. If it is as you say "Indeed Visual" I might be able to figure most of it out on my own being a visual learner. If you want to get an idea of it before you spend money, check out Unreal Engine 3's kismet, it works something like that. (Bo...

It sounds more like you're trying to do two sorta different things, an "actual" game designer is the one who creates the core and concept of the game, you don't necessarily need to be able to do math or code in order to be a designer. You do have to be able to perform logic thought. Since you mentio...

Sorry for the long silence! Time flies when you're working! Things updated: -Flow revision, you pick from one of three pairs (Rais + Garett, Indigo + Markol, Mirell + Levan) to go on the road. I find this is better way to interact with the characters as well as not immediately lock people into a rou...

Ugh how could I make such a mistake as a game designer. Uggggh

As a dickish 180 from my sleep-post, a really big correction: VNs are already classified as a sub-genre of Adventure Games (as is IF). The thing about digitally delivered games is that sometimes the rules are taken for granted since the design of the game can make you forget them (this can be a very...

Medium = Mode of Delivery Genre = Context/Structural Language I'd also like to point out that your definition of a game is very flawed: Of course there are plenty of games that combine multiple game plays or are difficult to categorize because their game play is so out there, but nevertheless, my po...
