Here's one. It doesn't have any code, so it should apply to most languages. I haven't used it, so I don't know how helpful it'll be, but it couldn't hurt to take a look.

Re: The Life of a Pacifist

Well, I played it and now I'm confused. So, is the story's theme that generic, "follow-the-leader" type stuff is bad? Because it kind of sends mixed messages about that, you know? I love all those things that make you think outside the bun or whatever you call that... That would be "t...

Re: Worst or most disappointing game you ever bought

(Apparently the version of Tactics on the PSP is updated in more than just graphics, as well, but I doubt I'd re-buy it myself if I owned the PSX original...) They also redid the (apparently) awkward script, and gave it a more archaic feel. Which means using the word "mayhap" whenever pos...

Re: Naming your Brand/Company

I remember back when I took Multimedia Design, the professor really liked the name one student came up with, which I believe was "Studio Orange". I think what he liked about it was the combination of a common, easy to remember English word, combined with the word "studio", which ...

Re: can you download for free?

I'm assuming by "the visual novel engine" you're referring to Ren'Py? If so, the download link is here.

Re: Embarrassing question... regarding plots

Well, how similar are the plots to each other? You could always make a branching story that incorporates both plot lines.

Unless it was different in older versions of Photoshop, that is the pixel size for Photoshop. I don't know about SAI, though.

Re: I've returned, and need an artist who can draw mecha

Mecha? Combining mecha? This project makes me happy. :D

Although, when I hear the name Nia I think of a certain other combining mecha series... I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it's something to take into consideration, I think.

Re: Anime is dying, ㅋㅋ..

I seem to recall there's a more-recent 'Rebuild of Evangelion' series of movies, but I've not seen any of them nor have been particularly following news (are they even released?) so I can't comment. The first two (of four) have been released. The first is more or less a nicer looking remake of the ...

Re: Worst or most disappointing game you ever bought

Terrible games? Yeah, I got terrible games. I got the Gameboy Color version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game for Christmas. They decided that doing skateboard tricks is boring, so they made it a racing game instead. All the characters are the same person with different coloured hair. Neverwinter Night...

Re: How Acceptable is Rape in Games?

But not all country/culture takes that way. At least in where I am now, virginity is something sacred. There's even a case where a husband divorce his wife (in their first night) when he knows she is not virgin anymore. Over-reacting? Perhaps yes, but completely understandable... I guess it's becau...

Isn't vector an art style rather than a file format?
