Re: Love to design games... Can't math.
The most important thing you need to know before you advance from basic mathematics to algebra is the Order of Operations. I was taught to memorize it as BODMAS. B - Brackets: do everything in brackets first O - Orders: powers and square roots next D - Division: do all your division M - Multiplicati...

Re: Does fanfiction improve your writing?
Wow... I can't believe I actually found some of my old stuff! Here's the only fanfiction I posted online prior to 2010. It was written for a Star Wars gaming/writing club, from a prompt - the name of the target, and the operation name was One Shot One Kill. I know the upload date says 2002, but I ac...

Re: Does fanfiction improve your writing?
I'd have to do a bit of digging. I don't tend to keep my drabbles, or publish them anywhere, they're just writing practice and warm-up for me, pretty much disposable from the beginning. I think I have a couple of pieces of my early Star Wars fanfiction I could share, but I warn you now, I've had alm...

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...
^^ count your lucky stars it's an enormous ant, not an enormous hornet queen. One wintered in my house, fertilized queens being the only hornets that survive winter in the UK, and scared the bejeebus out of me when I found it in my bathroom one early spring morning. Sure, the variety found in the UK...

Re: Does fanfiction improve your writing?
The wonderful thing about writing fanfiction is that it allows you to just write; the setting is established, the characters are established, and all you have to do is create the story structure itself. Fanfiction is also character consistency 101, because if you get it wrong, fans of the original w...

Re: DateNighto HTMLVN (HTML5 Visual Novel Engine)
I would definitely be interested. I'm a longtime Starfighter reader, going all the way back to the early pages of chapter 1, and when I saw Starfighter's Visual Novel kickstarter, it got me very curious about Date Nighto. Unfortunately, since the company is still very young, looking at your website ...

Re: What's your reason for making a visual novel? Since when
I came to creating VNs about a month ago when I was searching for a way to create a Myst-like point-and-click adventure. I was dissatisfied with limitations on the free software available for creating such adventures, and a little digging brought me to Renpy, where I'd be able to learn the basics of...

Re: What does your dream house looks like?
A long, slender, two story rough stone house blending English farm cottage with southwestern adobe architecture, the roof is bedecked with solar panels, the gutters leading to rain barrels for watering the garden. A post and rail fence separates the classic English herb/medicinal garden at the back ...

Re: Desgning a great female character (Extra Credits)
Interesting video. It gave me a few thoughts looking at creating great male characters too - if you can look at the issues surrounding societal pressure on females to create a great female character, you can also do the same with male characters, having them both accept and reject the societal press...

Re: Meal ideas? (Lunch and Dinner)
I don't know how you feel about ramen noodles, but my family's been eating them stir fried with ground beef and vegetables smothered in teriyaki. We were watching My Girlfriend is a Gumiho when we first served it, and it's been dubbed Mi Ho Ramen for the gumiho's constant demands to "buy me cow...

Re: Super effective writing tips from Pixar
#17: No work is ever wasted. If it’s not working, let go and move on - it’ll come back around to be useful later. So true. To give an example, I wrote a throwaway short story way back in high school, more than ten years ago, then stumbled on it on an old CD-ROM labeled 'writing' that I'd completely...

Re: Loading up Renpy VS Typing up a document
I'm following the same process I do when writing a regular novel - it starts off as an outline typed in notepad on my computer. At this point, I put in the most basic structure in Renpy (with a real novel, I do my rough page formats, creating my chapter headers and the like). Then the story itself g...
