Re: Religion... Yay or nay?

I think I have something useful to contribute. The words "atheism", "agnosticism" and the scientific use of the word "theory" have all, in my opinion, been poorly defined. While I won't go so far as to say my own definitions are correct (since ultimately word usage dete...

Re: Religion... Yay or nay?

Well... you might want to check out my attempt at making a game about religion, man and how each changes the other. The tab has been opened ;) So many tabs, so little time. Hm... is this really a sign of immaturity though, or is it just basic human nature to get upset when the most important things...

Re: Religion... Yay or nay?

I'd like to see serious examinations of religion in games more often. I can't really think of any games besides Xenogears and FFX that went beyond just using religion as a faction or label (though I haven't really played that many games).

Using the narrator, I've got the text appearing letter by letter, using the cps tag, and I've placed wait tags of varying times after periods and commas.

Re: Game resolution

I hope I'm not violating some necroposting rule by posting a month later, but I have things to add based on the research I've done for the VN I'm working on. JPEG & PNG I noticed a few misconceptions about these formats (JPEG, mostly) in this thread. Firstly the compression artifacts in JPEG ima...

Re: Guestbook

Hey, I'm a BG artist & composer currently working with a VN team. I've been lurking for a while; I was originally planning to recruit here (among other places), but it seems like a I won't need to for a while yet. It looks like there's some stuff for me to learn here and maybe I'll be of some he...
