Re: What Breaks Your Immersion?

[Woops sent it as a PM by mistake but it should be here. I feel I should share this else it'd gnaw at my mind.] The problem is that queer and POC are also identity labels. There are people whose sexuality or racial make-up is complicated and don't easily fit into gay, straight, bi; black, white, yel...

Re: How did you name your indie game studio/team?

I've been thinking about it for months and I still can't come up with anything. Maybe I'll just randomize it.

Re: Mage Wars (Demo) [Fantasy/Romance]

Okay, I loved your advice and was seriously gonna take it to heart until I read your last little comment. I never said they should work for free. I said, "I wouldn't pay if my game was free." People make free games for a reason. No one gets any money out of it, not even the developer. Sec...

Re: Mage Wars (Demo) [Fantasy/Romance]

Since the typos and mistakes in punctuation are something you already acknowledge having, I'll leave those alone. I'll tell you straight up though- If you miss enough of these in your later drafts, it will really hurt the immersion and therefore hurt the story. Be vigilant about keeping it as gramma...

I just lost three hours of photoshop work. There is a harsh lesson to be learned here.

Re: Most Difficult Thing About Visual Novels

Writing, definitely. When all is said and done, even if you have A+++ Art and music assets, the writing will be the core of your VN and what it will be remembered for. The writer has the ultimate priviledge in a creative group. I just wish inspiration hits me at more appropriate times. I hate being ...

Re: Level of logic/realism in a VN

When people criticize works for being "unrealistic", they typically don't mean they're historically/source inaccurate (though some are -overtly- inaccurate). They mean that the work/scene/setting isn't plausible or consistent. All writers subject their readers to a game of connect-the-dots...

Corpse Party uses multiple protagonists, each taking turns narrating the story.

Anyone going to Rose City Comic Con this week, I vouch for Danielle's minicomic at the artist's alley. It'll be worth it!

Re: i don't feel safe anymore with gaming culture

Nobody, absolutely nobody, has to "pay for the liberties the Internet gives us" by enduring rape, bomb, or death threats. That is a disgusting notion. And maybe you or the trolls don't think people make a difference when we speak out against this behavior, but I assure you that there are ...

Re: What do you want to see more of in EVNs?

Personally, I'm not so interesting learning what an audience wants, but rather with what I can get away with in my writing (and on that note, it gladdens me to see that there is an audience for the works of Gen Urobutchi and Shuzo Oshimi ^_^) If you're gunning for emotional abuse to the first degre...

Re: Sedatophobia [Mystery][Horror]

Okay, here's the deal. I have enough assets to put out the prologue (around 5-10 minutes of reading) as a playable demo. However, as mentioned, it's very short. My plan is to release chapter-by-chapter (around 30-40 mins each, 8-10k words average), for a total of about 7 chapters. However, my BG art...

How's the new OST coming along, by the way? Are there other examples of his/her work?
