@truefaiterman - I never thanked you for the compliment, so thanks! Drafted some costumes for Kalevel, a character from my visual novels Asher & Tell a Demon. (I write more about this on my dA--don't want to copy/paste a bunch of text.)

http://visual-novel-interfaces.tumblr.com/ Someone put together a tumblr with visual novel interfaces. Some logos are there as well. I would also look at other games for inspiration, or other media in the genre you're interested in. (Personally, I tend to look more at historical illustration and des...

Inform7 supports some multimedia stuff. I'm not fond of it, though. Some extensions links were broken last I checked, and adding some minor features is ridiculously unintuitive. Haven't tried TADs, but there's also ADRIFT , which requires less programming than either of the above, I believe. Anyway,...

Make image slices of all the individual parts > Save for Web > Select Slices > Choose Save Only Selected Slices > Save Repeat with imagebuttons for hover, unhovered, selected, idle, etc. Then I usually have to rename slices because Photoshop has an odd way of automatically naming them. Then I will e...

While using developer tools, I'll press shift+O and sometimes it will tell me "Ren'Py scripting is disabled". Then I have to restart the game to be able to use developer tools again. I am usually using some combination of the following when this happens: - shift+R when it doesn't reload on its own a...

There's a dedication in my current project. And a couple of times I've made small VNs for birthdays, that were, of course, dedicated to the recipient. Really, I don't think it matters as long as the dedication does not disrupt the player's experience by taking too much time to disappear from the scr...

I hand-painted most of the art for Tell a Demon (link in my signature), using different water-based media (tempera, gouache, watercolors) on watercolor paper. Does that mean you need HUGE pieces of paper? For me, yes. My background art is, at minimum, 18" wide, but that's partly due to the medium I'...

@Anne and @Harliqueen, thank you for the compliments on the art. :)

DeathbySwoon is doing a Let's Play of Sunrise! You can watch part 1 and part 2 here. It's fun listening to Sunrise narrated so well; I love Let's Plays, too, so this was a real treat to see.

On the topic of Abel: Abel was more intended to be a villain than a love interest initially but he ended up being both. If he's unlikable I'd call that a success. I don't like him, either. Although yes, I intentionally gave him more idealized features and Shiye more naturalistic ones. The original s...

I love the character designs. They look like they could work with animation and I love, love that kind of design and simplicity, and they mesh so well with your backdrops. That scene with the animated confetti is so memorable it's the first image that comes to mind whenever I think of your project. ...

Thank you for all the detailed feedback. I will not respond to everything, but touch on points, particularly those relevant to my work on this project. However, know that I did read everything and that we may fix things I didn't respond to in future updates of Sunrise. I noticed that it was slow to ...

A user gave me this: Trying it on Linux, when I press maximise, the window resizes but the image is the same size (but offset) and the input grid doesn't align (the mouse cursor needs to be an inch above to highlight a button). I'm using the linux-x86-64 version (I didn't extract the i686 files) on ...

@ Green Glasses Girl - Nice! Looking forward to hearing what you think. :) @ MaiMai - Thanks so much! (ex. when Shiye talks to "Athena" about his future dreams of democracy for the people (ex. Calista felt kind of like a non-entity even though her presence and character was there to explain/imply th...

You know, I realized that I never read reviews before I started getting involved in VNs. Not for books, movies, or anything. Reviews have never factored in my decisions, unless you count glancing at Amazon's to see whether or not an item is likely to turn up broken. Most of the things I've enjoyed h...

Concept grabbed me immediately! Downloaded and loved the music and GUI right off the bat, looking forward to playing more when I have time.
