Re: A manga/game you wished was an anime?

Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) and Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari (The Rising of the Shield Hero). I love these two. Just fun stuff all around. I'd also love to see a proper anime adaptation of the Sora no Kiseki (Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky). I think it's one of the finest jRPGs in term...

Re: What do you use when making GUI?

Another Photoshop user here. It's not the simplest software to use but it's packed with more than enough features to get cracking with your GUI. Here are my favorite tools and features of Photoshop (note that these are present in other software as well, such as GIMP): Layer Styles (Drop Shadow, Beve...

Re: Diamond Rose [Kinetic][RPG][Fantasy][NaNoRenO2016]

Thanks for your comment Zelan. I'm glad you enjoyed the game ^_^ Van will still be the primary protagonist and point-of-view but I'm definitely toying with a few side quests where you take on another character's perspective. A small update for the interested, there's not a whole lot to show in terms...

Re: Diamond Rose [Kinetic][RPG][Fantasy][NaNoRenO2016]

Of course I'm interested in playing the expanded storyline and gameplay. : D There are not many genuine RPGs made in Ren'Py. The story sort of captured of what I enjoy in games, speaking of subtle twists. I'm very happy to hear that! :D Our team will definitely do the best we can to deliver a great...

Re: 2D Dungeon Exploration Mechanics in Ren'py

[shameless plug]
My game Diamond Rose uses WASD and a minimap for navigation.
[/shameless plug]

Ren'py is very, very capable of making all sorts of gameplay, not just top-down, exploration, rpg, etc. As long as you can simplify a gameplay element to a menu-based gameplay, you can do it in Ren'py.

Re: What do you want to see in VN?

I'd like to ask you - what do you miss in VN? As a creators and players? As a player, I don't really have any specific thing in mind. When I play a VN (or any game really) I read the summary/gameplay info so I know what to expect from the game. Same applies with being a creator. What do you want to...

Re: Why does everyone hate imagemaps so much?

Imagemaps and imagebuttons (I'd say textbuttons belong to this as well) are simply solutions to a problem. One might be flexible, one might be easier, one might be simpler but they're all valid solutions. As others have already pointed out, imagebuttons(and textbuttons) are simply more flexible. It'...

Re: Diamond Rose [Kinetic][RPG][Fantasy][NaNoRenO2016]

An indication of how long the status effects last in battle. Noted. My plan is to have status effect icons over the afflicted battlers. Or maybe a listing of how many turns the status effect will last in the skill selection screen. It was a bit of a grind fest for collecting 4 Fine Strings. After p...

Re: Diamond Rose [Kinetic][RPG][Fantasy][NaNoRenO2016]

-Um.... The battle system is pretty laggy. And the movement is laggy too. Understood. This is probably because of the resolution of the game and the amount of art assets shown on the screen at the same time, so it's possible that if you have a slower machine or modest RAM it may become too laggy. T...

MimirollCookie - Thank you! Amy_oai I feel the characters were great, but the story was just a little bit lacking. I understand with nano there isn't much time at all, but yeah, it felt more like a prologue to some amazing RPG and I wanted to play more, y'know? xD I'm glad you like the characters. ...
