Re: Cinders - a very pretty fairytale VN (trailer + pre-orde

I'm usually afraid of purchasing things through the internet, specially when they're in dollar, so I thought a lot before actually doing it. But it was so worth it (first VN purchase, yaaay). I'm utterly love with the demo and can't wait to play the full game *g* I was completely immersed on the sto...

A couple of free sprites

I knew this day would come =< Here, two sprites I've been making for my game, but won't be used at all since I'm very unsatisfied with how things are going. Feel free to use/recolor/resize as you please for non-commercial games. If they end up to be of use for someone… I'll be happy >0> http://i52.t...

Re: [WIP BxB] Break Chance Memento

A WIP thread and I'm already emotionally attached to the characters… Ahh, I want to bring Masaharu back! I want to! He's already my favorite (I have a thing for sporty types) although I also thought Yukinari is adorable. The opportunity to play as two different characters is also very interesting, a...

Re: Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer - UPDATED JULY 13th, '11

Haha, Himuro fans <3 I think the reason I'll go for Seth is the same - just like teacher/student, employer/employee is a+++ (and of course, there's the fact that there are glasses). Seth looks adorable when smiling. I think it's über cute when workaholic/serious characters start to lighten up a bit…...

Holy- That background!! I thought you was going to leave it very simple, but that's such a level of detail o_o It looks really professional (as your whole game does).

Re: Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer - UPDATED JULY 2nd, '11

Oh, no, I'm worried now. If you mess up, do your skill decrease? I understand work rating decreasing, but you're practicing in the same way, shouldn't it go up, even if it's not a full point/not as many points as you'd get if you were doing a perfect job? You can't possibly get worse at something by...

Re: Would it be weird to make a BxG game for girls?

Wow, it's difficult to rationalize why I don't like BxG games as much as I like other types… I think it's a combination of not identifying with the main character with not liking the usual romances. Being female, I like - and identify - with a female mindset. I've been surprised, playing a few BxG g...

Re: Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer - UPDATED JULY 2nd, '11

Ohhhh, is that a new background I see? It looks very good with the overall interface! I like the simplicity of it, it looks really soft, so… My only critic is that the screen looks a bit cluttered, so maybe the empty frame could be smaller, depending on what you're going to put in there.

Re: artist question[me no likey]

I find that leaving your work alone helps a lot. If you aren't satisfied with it, come back later, after you've drawn other things, lived through other experiences. Your eye and your hand will also have gotten unused to the drawing again, so you'll be able to work more freely. Having a critic point ...

Oh my. Her eyes are beautiful. I can't wait to see the sprite fully shaded, the artist did such a great work!

Also, the mention of a demo makes me insanely happy *g*

Re: Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer - UPDATED JULY 2nd, '11

*raises hand eagerly* I'd love to test it. Each post you do makes me more and more excited. I can't wait to meet those characters! Although I don't know them yet, I feel empathy for them already. You seem to have gone a long way to give them particular quirks and traits, and that makes them very real.

Re: Tips on branching

Yeah, Amnesia is definitely about trying not to have a heart attack, at least for me, urgh. The puzzles and gameplay make it so that the story, while interesting, doesn't actually change (say, you can't finish the game without knowing Daniel's past), and the only moment you're actually prompted into...

Tips on branching

I've been left wondering what to use to branch my VN. Watching some works around, I can see branching as being much more than simply obvious choice picking or stats grinding to get the right guy, which I find very frustrating =< It's not a question on what ought to happen, but how to get there. My V...

Re: Re: [WIP] Maid of Midsummer - UPDATED JULY 2nd, '11

Oh my gosh , I'm loving Seth even more *g* For him, I'd work even for free… haha *blushes* I think it's important for the player to have fun, and not to do a… chore. So writing something so close to real life might not be good at all - we (or at least I) want to play a game, and not to be an actual ...
