In progress. It'll be up before March begins.

With NaNoRenO right around the corner, I've been thinking about the tools that might be used to keep track of work. For instance, the NaNoWriMo site has a word counter that lets you know how far you have to go before you hit your goal and how many words you have to write each day to get there. Are t...

If I recall correctly, Chuck Jones is known to have said "Every artist has thousands of bad drawings in them and the only way to get rid of them is to draw them out." The same is true of any endeavor. You could say every actor has thousands of bad performances in them. In other words, it's...

I vaguely recall something called IntRenAiMo, which runs alongside NaNoRenO, but was a tag used for games already in progress in which the month was meant to add an extra "sprint" of work to finish the project. I could, of course, be horribly misremembering.

I'm obviously full time but a bit lazy about reading these threads lately :) Yay, Hanako Games ^_^ Are you still enjoying it? Do you ever go to game or anime events? I went to GDC a couple of years back but found it a little hard for VN devs >_< Although, there were a few cool writers I got to meet...

I'm occasionally full-time? I have a second job but it's contract work only so sometimes it consumes my life, and sometimes I have several months of dead time with no work. I definitely need both of these jobs to make rent, so I consider dev to be more than a hobby, but it's not my sole source of in...

Self-promo ahoy.

Not exactly horror, but I think it's an appropriate short VN for Halloween.

It's a fascinating idea. There's at least one company I know that sent physical mail to some of its customers like a small "Valentine letter" or something from one of the boys. SMS would be interesting if it could be integrated into the game in a meaningful way. Would definitely have to be...

2D animation in general is a huge interest of mine. I would definitely like to see more in VNs, even to a small degree. Years ago before Ren'py had ATL, I attempted to put together a series of minimal animations for a VN. It worked, but it was a terribly time-consuming process, so I shelved it, but ...

Sian's voice will be patched in later. A lot of weird things got in the way, and recording voices already doubled the production time without hers. We ran a couple surveys, and most people preferred an earlier release with a later patch over waiting.

I use a lot of the stuff mentioned above to keep things organized (seriously, spreadsheets in any form are the greatest thing), but for personal motivation I use Habitica. I'm mostly fond of the deadline feature and the daily task list.

There's one major cameo character, but there are enough hints that you can actually tell what all of the RE:A++ cast went on to do.

That was lovely! The comic in the middle was my favorite part, but the NaNo stuff made me smile, and the list at the end was super useful. Thank you for all your hard work!

They've got me pretty booked up for most of the con, so it would be wiser to plan without me. orz But if I am available, I'll join!
