Re: Sprite Organization

I would only recommend to make full images if you only have a few expressions per character or each expression having its own pose. If you got more than 6-12 expressions, start working with layers. Use Composite to organise the expressions you want to call in the script so you don't have to call eac...

Re: Soulless Creatures [Horror][Mystery][Romance][Vampires][Kinetic Novel]

As the proofreader that read this story, I can tell you that Frylander's writing is real good and that he's a motivated developer. The story is well-written with some real good moments and one particular part of the story being enthralling. And that was before my proofreading, with the way he took m...

Re: Feedback on Space Adventure VN

The changes are better, definately, but don't go too extreme into this new direction either. Definately don't make it too flashy and fancy for the sake of it. Not sure if that would happen, but if you were to change every description with such a massive overhaul I can see that happen. Like all good ...

Re: Feedback on Space Adventure VN

One thing I can definately advice you is to write less descriptive, more enthralling. You write very to the point and with adding your descriptions and explanations of the things you're talking about in a very soulless way. It's almost like reading a manual sometimes. 'Open the lid. The lid can be o...

Re: Writing Courtroom Trials

The contradictions are either too obvious or obscure? So it's like Danganrompa or Ace Attorney, then. I believe that one thing they do is make something really obscure when you get into the trial but then somewhat too obvious halfway the trial by behaviour, new evidence presented by one of the other...

Re: Arcadia [NaNo 2018]

Just finished the game and I must say it was very good. I really liked the realistic art. Not only do I prefer it over the anime or regular style that dominates this place, but it also really adds to the story about someone not liking virtual reality by them not seeing and interacting with unrealist...

Re: How to handle aspects of multiple POV characters

1) If it's interesting and makes for a good written story, then go ahead and make 5 prologues. Rather that than rushing into a story with all five combined but none of the personalities fleshed out well. 2) Perhaps instead of revealing all the mysteries, keep these vaguely worded in the prologues an...

Re: Whale's Waldo [romance][travel][Nano18]

A real nice story with some real nice characters! Personally I considered this a befriending rather than a romance story (then again I'm male so...), but even then this was real nice and fitting! I liked how all the sprites looked chibi without being chibi and the story was so casual until I started...

Re: Clone VN idea, need suggestions!

I was wondering if you had any experience with a GoFundMe type budget-raising deal? Unfortunately not, as my $0 budget comments already suggested. :lol: In fact I can't say I've even heard of it before, but perhaps others here have. I assume from the name it's either something like Patreon or Kicks...

Re: Vote on which VN plot I should write...

The question isn't what we prefer rather what you think the best option is based upon what you want and can do. Everything can be good if done well, but letting your story be dictated by the people's wishes results in lesser products. If you want witches even if you feel it's more overdone, then don...

Re: 7388 [NaNo18][Sci-Fi][GXG][Cute Robot Girls] NaNo demo out!

I just played the demo and I have to say that it was real enjoyable. Not just a good story, but a good story when binging through NaNo18 and thus aready being VN-sick when starting the game. So, really good. I like how you made the AI just defined yet not too defined enough that I as the audience co...

Re: Watching a VN Let's Play's Versus Playing a VN

I prefer to play them myself most of the time, as I read them a lot faster than usual people. Although that does come with the disadvantage that once things get slow or boring, that I start skipping so fast that I can't read it and thus end up not finishing the VN at all. Then again, I'd probably wo...

Re: Making Stories and Characters Vibrant and Fun?

As you and Ezmar already discussed, more light and humorous moments are important, but how to add these? Sometimes the best solution is just to add a character just for that purpose, or label a few already added characters as such if there's no need for them to be gritty and depressed. Or have the s...
