Hi LeonGuisti! I don't need a writer but I just wanted to say hello and welcome to the board. It's good to see another writer of queer fiction around. I'm looking forward to seeing your own visual novel and hope that you also find a fun project to work on here.

I love the look of that title screen. Other than the transparancy on the buttons it looks great. I love Mira's expression, how she really does look like she's about to have a mishap. And given how low-cut her top is she'd better hope that the cauldron doesn't splash all over her. I like the new Odet...

I'm going to be a hypocrite and offer advice. :P However feel free to ignore it since I've only ever finished a super-short non-renpy game. Start small. Don't start looking at several months to a year. Look at small, achievable goals. If you don't have a plot I suggest that you say to yourself. &quo...

Ha. Names are personal. When all else fails I resort to http://www.seventhsanctum.com/index-name.php Or I usually have themed names.

I love his clothes and his colour scheme. Alas poor moustache, I knew you not at all. I was all set to hate the moustache. I was all set to complain most loudly about the presence of it, but I think it's actually a nice point of difference. It is the thing that separates the men from the boys. It ma...

I don't mind fan-service, I just prefer it equal opportunity fan-service. I didn't mean to rag on them. :) I just meant to compliment your characters. If they all decide to do a fashion show with a swim-suit scene in the snow, well... I suppose I won't complain as long as Lee strips down with them a...

Yes! You're a failure! In a wonderful way though. I'm so sick of games where the female characters strip off their clothes for absolutely no reason and where they parade about with their boobs and their butts (both at the same time) in your face and their spines twisted out of proportion. And genera...

I love the look of these characters. It's amazing how there can be such a variety of fantasy women, and none of them are scantily dressed, sexily posed. Going by the pictures I like Rihanna, Ada and Adrian best. I'd vote against Jamie and Ulini because they look far too young. But really I like the ...

Thanks for answering Dramspringfeald I'm here because I'm an amateur, and it seems like a community for amateurs. I mean that in the sense of a group of people doing something for the sheer love of it. Even if they're making games for money, even if it's a business, most people seem to have fun and ...

I'm new to the forums so I don't really know everybody. I'm curious though, Dramspringfeald. Which game studios have you worked for?

I love the Princess. Her armour's great. Since she has a brother, I'd choose a name similar to his for her. Actually I'd hit behindthename, see that Theodoric is Germanic and start looking through other German names. http://www.behindthename.com/names/usage/ancient-germanic (select the option on the...

Well I would think it would depend on the player and the story which options they choose. I'd actually imagine that someone would choose every single option eventually, and they'd pick the ones that best fit their playthrough. If anger's an important part of your game though, you could have an anger...

I was just thinking about this a little more, especially Nuxill's comment above. I think the most powerful tool to invoke a sense of immediacy and urgency in a visual novel is the same one that's frequently used by television shows and movies: music. Music's an extremely powerful way to set a mood. ...

There's been more than one game I've played which I've absolutely loved right up until an event that requires skill or is timed. There was one adventure game that I was really enjoying and then it switched to a shooter and I just couldn't get past the shooting section. It was so frustrating and desp...

@kaleidofish I didn't notice her hands. I absolutely love them though. She's really cute. Yeah Porcia/Portia's is derived from Porcius, which is dervived from porcus, same root as pork. Which I only just discovered too but it amused me. I'd want to call her Porcia Trotter, because Trotter's such a p...
