Is background music with vocals too distracting for readers?

Can anyone think of examples where background music in a VN had vocals and lyrics? It seems like something that's guaranteed to foreground the music too much and maybe even make it difficult to read... but I'm really tempted to try it. For my current NaNoReNo project, I think it'd be really cool to ...

Re: Three Souls [Flash][Horror][NaNoRenO 2015]

Those eyes on the second sprite :shock:

I like the contrast between the sprites and the backgrounds. It's a cool aesthetic.

Best of luck on the project!

I like the amount of mustache you've got going on in this preview, The Desman. Sensei's mustache is all 8) , but then Lézard's mustache is all :wink: . I hope your dialogue characterization is on the same level as your mustache characterization. 40% of writing is pretty good for this part of the mon...

Re: Evangeline [Psychological Horror] [NaNoReNo 2015]

Hey, this looks pretty awesome. I haven't played many horror VNs yet, but since you say Silent Hill is an influence here, I'm totally on board. The finished version of Magda is adorable and the logo is great, too. Definitely hoping to be able to play this one at the end of the month! (For what it's ...

Re: One Night at Amphora [Magic Realism][Comedy][Modern][Nan

It's great to see more comedy VNs! I also like the idea of a girl dealing with the passing of her mother and the art has a cute appeal to it. Good luck with finishing! Thanks for checking it out, Auro-Cyanide! I'm always looking for comedies, too! Especially ones that ground the comedy in the conte...

Re: Western Destiny [Action/Adventure] [NaNoRenO2015]

Hey, I don't know if this is the place for it, but I needed to comment somewhere that the hair on your avatar is magnificent! Also, I am so on board for a Western action/adventure game. That's easily one of the most underrepresented genres here, which is a shame, because gunslingin' has a lot of goo...

Re: What are you listening to while you write?

I've been listening to more Sun Kil Moon recently. Their last album Benji is the perfect soundtrack to writing comedy. It's an album full of true stories about bad things happening to people who generally don't deserve bad things to happen to them. Lots of freak accidents with aerosol cans. It actua...

Re: Scallywags [Fantasy] [Kinetic] [NaNoRenO 2015]

Sky pirates have been near and dear to my heart ever since playing Skies of Arcadia when I was younger. For some reason sky + pirates is just an inherently winning combination. It's hard to get an idea of where you're going with the story with the initial post, but the logo looks cool. Best of luck ...

Re: Monstrous Allegations [Courtroom][Twine][NaNo15]

That's a great title! This looks like it could turn into a pretty ambitious project, so that work log is a good idea to help keep things on track. Also, I totally want to go back and revisit Phoenix Wright after reading this... Maybe some other month. This looks like it'll be a lot of fun to write, ...

Extremely important question: as an individual with HDIS (Hand-Drawing Impairment Syndrome), I want to know if the characters in the final art will have fingers, or whether they will continue to have stumpy blobs. Because there's nothing wrong with stumpy blobs! At least... I hope there's nothing wr...

Re: Kill The Din

This is cool.

Your original post kind of reminds me of the promo material for The Stanley Parable (which is a very good thing, in my book).

The build worked smoothly on Mac, and looks super cool when you hold down the skip button.

Good luck!

Re: Microphones

One thing you should take into consideration: many professional microphones and even many of the popular entry-level brands will need a device called an audio interface to interact with your computer (which can definitely add to the cost). If you see the letters XLR, it's this type of microphone. If...

Re: One Night at Amphora [Magic Realism][Tragicomedy][Colleg

Yet another magical school VN. I hope you do something unique with it. Good luck! Thanks, Godline! Yes, the conventional setting is actually part of the challenge I've set for myself. The goal is less J. K. Rowling and more Richard Linklater. Maybe that sounds pretentious, but I just love his "...
