Re: which background looks better?

I don't really like either. They're both obviously just a photoshop filter. I'd rather just see the photograph. I'd maybe bump down the white "level", do some "color balance" adjustments, and selective guassian blur is always a smart option. It's always best not to filter an entire image, but rework...

Re: Otome-related survey

1. A. Real people are always better. 2. anything less than A to B bores me. 3. D I feel visual choices should be like life choice. Some choices you make have obvious consequences and some aren't so obvious. The choices should never be too straight forward. 4. A. One ending is fine. 5. B Purple prose...

Can't Backspace. Mac user

Finally started to do some coding and I find out...

I'm a mac user, and I can't seem to "backspace" in jedit. I have to "cut" all the mistakes I make. I'm using the latest version of renpy, too. Why is this?

Re: Do you think customizing genre is a good idea?

I agree with aleema 100% Don't be concerned with what others want. Write whatever you want to write about. If that's profane gore and sex, then do it. Just keep in mind when making characters, they should be real people, not just a giant walking talking boob. Canaan the anime is an excellent example...

Re: What got you into VN making?

1) When did you first get into making visual novels, dating sims, and other related games? Last summer I started writing my failed fire emblem 9 dating sim. I did it just for lols, but the paths got way too out of control for one girl to handle. It's here if you're interested . I then started my Ky...

Re: Really Quick survey on Gaming Tastes

1. B. If I like the game I'll look to complete more endings. If I'm just testing it out I'll only go through once. 2. B always. For visual novels plot takes precedence over everything. 3. C music puts you in the mood and cues feelings, so its important. 4. B 5. A 6. C I am an elitist. If I don't lik...

Re: The "Critique Please" initiative

Simple question then: how would you have dealt with it? When somebody gives me advice (most of which is lacking deeper explanations as to why that person feels that way), half of which were caused by the fact the person did not do the homework and read through the topic, the only thing I can say is...

Re: Character Sprite Maker -- Taking Outfit/Hair requests

That's a great idea Serenity! I already have fedora, but a suit might be too hot looking for the summer clothes set I have. I think I can make a nice crisp collar shirt that'll look nice with some khaki pants. Ties are an easy add to. I also a progress update: I'm done with most the art (although I'...

CG is a non-visual novel specific term that just means any kind of computer graphic. ^^

There are a few cute one that are nicely made and fun to play, but none of them punch me in the gut though storywise. Oh, are you pl...

Re: RockRobin - GxB (w/Demo)

I'm impressed. I haven't been impressed by any OEL visual novel... ever. And I've played quiet a few hoping to be surprised, but to no avail. The strongest thing is definitely the writing, which I believe is the most important thing a VN can have. Furthermore... ROBIN, HELL YEAH GIRL. Its nice to fi...

Re: Taking Requests for Background Photos

wowza, I'm definitely checking out that pack right now!

I know there's a place for sprite makers, but is there a sticky thread or photo gallery for all the BGs people are posting for use? It'd be nice if we could organize them all in one place.
