Organizing your routes?

How do you organize your routes? (ie. how the choices in the common route affect which route the player gets on) Do you use relationship points? Do you have a set of choices that a player must choose in order to get onto a route? Do you leave a premature bad ending if a player fails to get onto a ro...

Re: Ideas Dump

Chinese stories set in the old days are so fun. Cultivation, sure. But the stuff about the concubine's daughter and said daughter just going along, watching and dealing with the Madame and the boss concubine's spoiled kids... those are fun. Show your filial duty, kids. Be adherent to Confucian thing...

How long should a CG be on screen?

It's pretty to the point. For how long should a CG be on screen? Or rather, what is the shortest length a CG should be on screen for? (I'm writing a script at the moment, and there's an introduction scene that I imagine I might do a CG for once the art part of the process comes along. Except, it's a...

It's times like this that I want LSF to have a like button.

This April Fool's video was brilliant! XD Hahaha, also, it actually be really funny to see a legitimate spin-off comedy type of thing like that.

Re: Return of Olympus [Magical Girl | Slice of Life | NaNo17

(Tintenseher has added explanations somewhere, but just in case you didn't see it and the game file crashes...) In order to play our game, you will have to install 2 fonts.

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...

Classes. Stress from school is completely normal. I'm fine with that. I might stress out over a low A in Chem, a B in Chem, messing up on a Statistics test, flunking an essay in English... But it is completely not okay to be worrying over FOT (Foundations of Technology), a dumb elective that I'm onl...

Thanks for all your replies.

I should probably check out some of those visual novels.

Re: Harem or non-romantic true route?

IMO, the real message in Clannad series is not about Tomoya's relationship with Nagisa (or other girls), but more about Tomoya and his father (and how he's repeating the same mistake his father did). I only realized it later in Clannad After story... (and hence Nagisa is more fitting for the revela...

Harem or non-romantic true route?

So, when it comes to true routes, there are a lot of opinions. Quite a decent amount of visual novels have true routes that wrap up the story and also feature the main girl/guy. There's an obvious preference from the creators when that happens. (ie. Clannad = Nagisa, Little Busters = Rin, etc.) I've...

Re: How do you have the commitment?

Do a little bit everyday. Daydreaming about the cool things that happen in your visual novel or doodling some sketches or even making funny headcanons of AUs of your characters can help keep you interested in your project. If you're interested in your project, you're more likely to work on it and no...

Re: Genjitsukai [GxB|GxG] [Romance|Otome|Vampire] [NaNo17]

1. What do you think of the story concept? I don't have any specifically strong feelings. I enjoy vampire genre things, so that's nice. Cherise seems like a fun main character. Though, I'm a bit curious why the Japanese title if there doesn't seem to be much relation to Japanese things? 2. Thoughts ...

Re: Route Choices: Free Will vs. Force

(I will be yabbering on for a pretty large chunk of text, so if you don't care for large chunks of text, well, skim, I guess?) On the topic of choosing the route? Huh, I do agree that it is a bit annoying when you make choices that don't obviously point towards a route and accidentally end up on a c...

The villainous ojou-sama rival character in otome games

While reading web novels and light novels with female protagonists, I found that a large amount of the online translated ones are ones where the main character is reincarnated as the villainous Duke's daughter who is the heroine's love rival in an otome game world. Sometimes, it's not the Duke's dau...

Re: NaNoReno 2017 General Recruitment Thread!

I'm an artist, anime-style. I can contribute character designs, character sprites, and maybe CGs (cut-ins and chibis are the easiest). I can't do backgrounds or gui. Males and mecha aren't my forte. My preferences for project: GxG. However, if you want to make a BxG game, that's fine too as long as...

Re: Ideas Dump

Having read The Great Gatsby in English class (very shallowly since I don't have to analyze it just yet)... How about one in which the player character isn't actually the 'protagonist' that goes chasing love interests? Instead, he is the somewhat disapproving relative of one of the love interests bu...
