Yup, now you'll be so busy playing with apps it will be hard to find time to write one (not that I'm saying my Nexus One affected my productivity... not at all) :D

Android tool for VNs (and other things)

As some of you may already know, the folks at Google have introduced the " App Inventor for Android " which lets you graphically drag elements to create your UI, and then program what happens in little "scripts". Take a look at the examples they've already developed: http://appinventor.googlelabs.co...

Re: Looking for an Android VN Tool

Have started messing around with my Nexus One, and the big change from the iPhone (in addition to the higher res 800x480) has been the multi-tasking. Hadn't realized how much I had been "conditioned" to close one app before starting another until I realized I had spent ten minutes trying to figure o...

Looking for an Android VN Tool

As one of my most recent blog post implies (where I explain how to setup Android and the emulator in Windows), I'm looking to move to Android, and want to take the game I've been working on there since I think having access to the items that come with a phone (Accelerometer in particular, but I can ...

So, essentially a VN of "Catch Me if you Can"? That could be cool :-)

Re: Best Options for Compressing Voice Files

When it comes to audio, there's always this file size issue to take care of. Actually in modern VN games, audio streams take the major part of the total file size. Because the human ear is able to distinguish the multiple wavelength frequencies, it requires better quality than what you'd process wi...

I'll give that a look. Thanks!

Suggested settings to make photos look background-ish...

Per the title, I'm wondering if there are particular GiMP or PS techniques to take my almost 100 gigs of photos from around the country (but mainly San Antonio) and make them into acceptable backgrounds so I can concentrate what little artistic talent I have on the characters.

TIA!

Best Options for Compressing Voice Files

I am putting the emphasis here on voice files. One likely option is going to be to have versions of the demo and final with just the music and "graphics", and another that includes the vocalizations. Since I am having even the protagonist speak in this one, there are a lot of files. Have been playin...

Re: Ideas Dump

Oh, something popped into my head while I was browsing TVTropes. One day, the main character woke up to find himself turned into a girl and everybody around him changed genders as well. His mom turned into a girly dad and his dad turned into a manly mom - and his cute neighbour who has crush on him...

Re: Mysterious GxB Game

Your best bet at this point is to check out Hanako's Games. She is the one who provided the artwork for this, and I suspect she will eventually find another game a little closer to release to put these in. While I hope to someday return to the story, I suspect it won't be soon. Fortunately, I start ...

Re: Tower Defense in RenPy?

There's a crappy-looking one here with source: http://www.pygame.org/projects/20/482/ Yeah, that one covers some of the basics, but doesn't really seem to do upgrades and such. For Flash there's the following demo: http://www.walterreid.com/blog/62/how-to-build-a-tower-defence-flash-game-part-10-wi...
