Please keep in mind that I will be asking for free help for the art. It's going to be difficult to find an artist willing to work for free on so many characters. Focus most of your attention on a smaller cast of characters. Maximize their impact - that's what will make the game lifelike for the pla...

Definitely seconding (or maybe I'm thirding or fourthing) the outline method. It was the only way I managed to write my time travel VN without mixing up all the details on what happened on which day. I avoided many plot holes by treating that outline like it was all that was holy. I also made sure t...

I am! Although after seeing all of your profiles, I feel like I should really spiff mine up...

Wow, lots of replies and PMs! I'm going to close this thread now. No more replies or private messages, please. :D I will be contacting everyone personally after having a discussion with my partner in crime. I encourage anyone interested in doing background art to check out this thread , as well. I'm...

Hey, kaleidofish here. I'm looking for an all star team of artists, coders, cheerleaders, and whatever-you-call-those-people-that-feed-you-grapes (servants?) to join me and my good friend r-bit's team for this weekend's Asylum Jam . We'll have 48 hours to do this thing. The working title of our game...

You can find a Proofreader by posting in the "Recruitment" area. If you're worried that it would be too much work, then you could offer a skill trade (for example, "I will make 3 sprites for you if you proofread my work"). The first time I worked with proofreaders on a VN, I sent...

You're right. A memoir told in visual novel format would be interesting, because it would allow the writer to vent & play out what-if scenarios. Like, what if I had said "such and such" at this point rather than just walking away? It can become a therapeutic exercise. I suppose that'd ...

Ooooh Dusk art. You're great! Good luck on the drawing challenge! I can't offer critique since I'm not an illustrator, but I can offer support. *waves pom poms* YEAH!

@Fenrir34: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! Mishka was a fun character to write for - I'm glad he could make you laugh. Good news is that we're in the process of forming ourselves into a team for a new visual novel. Expect to see more works from The Mishka Effect crew in the future. :D Let me know ...

Best wishes!

Thank you! PM sent.

I grew up in a suburb right on the city's edge, but I've been living in the city for the past few years. Glad to see another Philadelphian here. XD Thanks!

Hey, everyone! I've reached a standstill with my project 7 Months in Between (link to my site). I'm not sure that the story is sending out the messages that I want it to send. What I'm going for is a more mature otome experience, but I'm worried that the story just boils down to any common drama sto...

@ Laniessa: Thank you for the reblog! :) I'm glad you enjoyed it. @ Flowers from Nowhere: Thank you! You're right about them being complicated. It was a lot of work watching out for plot holes. @ Tawwny: Glad the story made you laugh! I never considered myself much of a comedy writer until I finishe...

I wouldn't use it to make a VN from scratch - once a year is enough for me - but I'd be interested in it as a way to boost my word count for my projects, sure! 10k words is a more reasonable goal for me than Nanowrimo's 50k. XD
