Re: I'm not a writer. ಠ_ಠ

I think writing is still an acquired skill. When you first started out drawing, no doubt you thought it wasn't good and that people wouldn't like it.

Rather than posting a summary, could you try posting samples of your work so anyone interested have an idea of what they have to work with?

Re: Looking for someone experienced in matters of law!

Things like how we would describe a specific case in a way that will make a reader who knows nothing about law understand it or how to bring about a specific trial, and a whole lot of other things. I think the first part can be done by anyone practising or studying law; at least where I study it, w...

Re: Visual Novel Tycoon [NaNoRenO 2014] [Sim]

This game looked so good and promising, but there are so many typos. I'm sorry, but that is one of my biggest pet peeves. But seriously, looked great! I hope that maybe you'll consider going back and proof reading in the near future. (Just some criticism. Not trying to sound rude, I swear!) Three w...

Re: Visual Novel Tycoon [NaNoRenO 2014] [Sim]

Just wondering, how many 'days' is this game? I thought it's only 60 days at first but I'm on my 83rd day now. I've released 4 different VN's/Sim/Rpg but I'm still working on some stats. I assume you grabbed the writer's route. I put a tentative timespan while being unsure of how difficult the goal...

Re: Bit of a legal issue..

The Human Rights Act 1998 considers the privacy of people photographed and is the most relevant legal piece with regards to this, I think. Best to get consent and a legal waiver; while generally it's not a huge fuss having your exact likeness used through filtered photographs in a niche branch, you ...

I am oddly interested in this, if only because I like the outfit Anil is sporting.

Re: Narrating in a Visual Novel?

I don't know, I'd say a book that sells well is a book that is written well─if people are attracted to your book and the story in it, then I'd say it's written well. You suspended their disbelief, you made them look past the plot holes, you wrote a story that enraptured your readerbase and that spaw...

Re: Narrating in a Visual Novel?

I'll be writing this in first person, present tense. Dialogue should indeed be written this way, but Narration -- in English -- is written in PAST TENSE . Open a fiction book -- any fiction book. Present Tense is only used in Non-Fiction and Dialogue. Are you sure about that? Notably, the Hunger Ga...

Re: Planet EVN

And there's now yaoi on Planet EVN. Please, people. The hilarious part is where they've posted the NSFW content back-to-back. Look, I respect everyone's right to draw and post as much porn as they want, but moreso do I respect being able to follow EVN news without having to hide away my activities ...

Re: Interesting VNs Now! legal scandal

Well, the legal owners of the copyright can't actually be sued. You can't say, "I'm going to hold X company accountable for person Y's actions" and expect a case to go through on that; You need evidence to prove that it was reasonable to assume person Y is a representative of X company.
