Re: Copyright and Free Writing

Copyright is automatic. The creator owns it unless they write it over to someone else. I've done this with my art, where I have signed away my copyright to the company, but normally that costs them alot. Even when I sell art to someone I still retain the copyright. I sell them the right to use the a...

Re: Pc vs Mobile VNs

I don't play mobile games at all because I still have my cute little flip phone. 😅 I don't really have the need for a smart phone, so I never bothered upgrading. Thus I play on the computer. I like the larger screen anyway for games. I can't see the smaller screens as well, or at least it feels that...

Re: Protagonist/Route Preferences?

I like the sound of both, both would be so much fun! 😃 I think as the others said, make it how you want to make it. It's hard to pull off making a game (or anything) if your whole heart isn't in it... you need to just go with what feels right. It will matter little what is normally popular (or not p...

Re: My Little World [Fantasy/Slice of Life] [Friendship] [Free]

Today I have little to update because most of the changes are not very visible and took me a while. - Found out how to change the default text speed. - Added all proper credits to my credits page. - Found 3 music tracks and 1 sound track that I’ll be using for my story! Thanks to Eric Matyas of http...

Re: Shout For Joy, Share Your Happiness

I'm so happy I found out about Ren'Py! It's so much fun and I feel like I found a reason to live with making visual novels! I know that sounds dramatic, but I was just feeling so bored with life. Suddenly I actually want to get up in the morning, and when I'm not working I want to work on my VN. I f...

https://i.imgur.com/TNgUNBT.jpg Art Update: Three new emotions for Heles today! Still unsure how many emotions I’ll make for each of the girls, so I’m making them as I need them for the story for now. Also made an “item” image for one item you can gain in game. I’ll not show that here, need to keep...

Re: My Little World [Fantasy/Slice of Life] [Friendship] [Free]

Art Update: Did more work on the final tree backgrounds, hope to finish them this week. GUI Update: I realized this is a bit too deep for me with this being my first game. I'll be doing more with the GUI in my next game, but for now I'll keep it close to the default. I did figure out how to change t...

Re: Resolution for VNs?

@LateWhiteRabbit @Autumnotopia Thank you so much for another point of view! both of you! (also interesting video!) 1920x1080 was what I was originally planning, and it's really cool to actually see some stats! (I didn't know where to look) As much as I would like to think about people with older com...

Re: Resolution for VNs?

Yeah, I saw the full screen, but because I don't now much about programs, I guess I assumed all the games that stretched to fit my full screen where the full size. Silly I know, but while I know a lot about art programs, I've never really thought much about programs in general until now. This is a ...

Re: Resolution for VNs?

In the preferences dialog of a Ren'Py game, the option to show the game in full screen versus windowed is literally first, in the top left corner, unless the layout has changed since I last started a new project. Of course, if the game has a different aspect ratio from your monitor, that could be a...

Re: My Little World [Fantasy/Slice of Life] [Friendship] [Free]

There's something super charming about the art, I really like it! Looking forward to seeing progress Aww, thank you! I wanted to do something a lot less detailed then my normal works, and have a storybook sort of feel, but I wasn't sure if this was something others could enjoy, so I'm really happy ...

Re: Resolution for VNs?

Heh, just adding so you know, I'm new to making VNs, it's not that I think bigger sizes are better because of the crispness, it's because I thought that was the only way to have a game full screen on my computer. xD So I'm guessing I'm wrong to assume this? I'm ok with images not being perfectly cri...

Re: Development Diary, Your Sushi bar (Romance,Simulation)

Hmm, as for the sprite or hand drawn, I would go with what you enjoy most. Though doing one full of only illustrations will be a lot more work I would think. Sprites are much faster to make and you can use them over and over. I like a combination, with illustrations for special events. I sort of lov...
