Re: Sedatophobia [Mystery][Horror]

Minor art update. This revision of the cover image came out so well I couldn't help but share.

Re: Sedatophobia [Mystery][Horror]

Her name is pretty funny - will that come into play? Or is that a spoiler? ;) Everything looks so cool though. Quite a unique plotline. Looking very forward to it, especially since I have the namesake~ Bit of a funny story about that. This actually didn't start out as a visual novel, but as a 2D si...

Re: Help Understanding Legal Rights for Game Assets...

I'm above you ...snrk. Anyway, lets go back to square one. OP has asked for a very specific type of advice. Its about commissions and the rights involving both parties, both client and the hired/bought work. You unwittingly misinform him by telling him that "Who owns X? Person A." "W...

Re: Help Understanding Legal Rights for Game Assets...

since the client is the one making the case, you can't force the defendant (the artist) to reveal its personal e-mail (right to privacy). under lets go with the usa, since its common topic. you would need a warrant for google to give you the email address, however thats only if the client can proof...

Re: Dark VNs with a clashing art style?

When you think about it, there are hugely popular "children" demographic franchises in Japan that are pretty damn "Dark". Detective Conan, for one, and Kamen Rider GAIM. http://www.marycagle.com/index.php?id=32 We consider Ace Attorney fairly lighthearted and PG and tend to forge...

Re: Help Understanding Legal Rights for Game Assets...

If I were OP, seeking Commissions advice in a forum, and I had to choose whose advice is more credible, I'd probably listen to the guy who has a library of titles published on Steam.

Just saying.

Re: Sedatophobia [Mystery][Horror]

Quick question: Is there going to be music for this? I feel like it could be more effective if there were none. There will be both music and ambient sound, like a regular KN/VN. The concept of "Silence" is a fairly loose interpretation in this story. Anyway, I'm back from a fairly long br...

Re: Dark VNs with a clashing art style?

I would be interested in any sort of visual novel which addresses dark themes. Doesn't matter whether it includes pairings. That said, I think that many stories will benefit when violence and horror are justified. I would recommend omitting scenes that are only written to shock the audience. In oth...

Re: Magical Warrior Diamond Heart[Otome][Friendship] DEMO TI

Based on her blog, I dont think this current version is being continued. Seems that the one-person production was a bit too heavy. I do hope to see more when OP finds a team. Is this the blog you're referring to: http://magicalwarriordiamondheart.com If so, it looks to me like production is still m...

Re: Magical Warrior Diamond Heart[Otome][Friendship] DEMO TI

Well... it seems like the topic has been quite for a while, so let me at least revive it a bit! I found the downloaded demo in my folder and I realized I haven't played it yet. And guess what, I LOVE everything about it! The characters, the art, the storyline, the jokes. Man, I couldn't stop laughi...

Re: Derisive criticism of your work online...?

My two cents. If you mislabel a reviewer as a troll, your readers will know. If you get defensive about your work, your readers will know. And that will bite you in the neck because it will say something about you. Losing viewership isn't necessarily the end of the world, of course. People will look...

Windows 10 64bit here. I can confirm that it works. However, I had to open it from within the Renpy client. Non-Renpy users wouldnt know how to do that.

Re: Writing an anime-style VN with Japanese vocabulary?

Having Japanese terms (or any secondary language) in english work does not necessarily make it "Weaboo", lest we discredit every novel that dared use Latin or French or German... Or Dwarvish. Nonetheless, it still has to be executed well. While there are no rules on how to mix english narr...

Re: Question about getting another writer?

It's not that uncommon to have multiple writers split up the work, but I do recommend getting an editor. Like illustrations, writers have a style and different habits. At times, when the styles begin to deviate, the reader will notice. That's the common risk of sharing the writing workload. (Arcsys ...

Re: Questions about commission

Aside from digital commissions, there is a market for prints too(notably in DA). While prices vary per artist, there are common templates for price models. You get to decide which to use. Even when the end price is negotiable between the buyer and the client, it's important that you set up your pric...
