Re: Ursa And Parka Cord

I suspected that Ursa's stubborness - probably because he is still young - was represented by the tugging on the parka cord. At first I thought the parka cord represented the naive dreams of youth; being persistently pulled on by a equally naive Ursa. (There is nothing wrong with your writing skills...

Re: Ursa And Parka Cord

I'm curious. Was the short story originally written in English? I found one or two typos but I think that was it. A 'He' spelt as 'THe' - don't remember which screen it was. :| The story provided a window where I was able to glimpse at Shaka and Ursa and their environment. It left me with a feeling ...

Re: No Boys Allowed! the game

Looks impressive so far! I skimmed through the demo - pressed for time - and as others have commented, the art stands out. So much so that I sometimes forgot to read the dialogue...

...keep up the good work! (wish I had some constructive criticism)

Re: Saori's Corner

Looks like you already have a good amount of experience. Your work is coming along really well - I'm jealous - so keep it up! College will probably put a dent in your productivity, unless you're studying visual arts?

Re: The state of VNs and their future

Monele: you're absolutely right; the ideas should have gone in the 'ideas dump' thread. I was feeling rebellious at the time. :D I was wondering if someone was going to call me on that... It's precisely because everyone lives in the modern day that makes it easier to script and to write for. Fantasy...

Re: Bounce

I liked the music too. I did not mind the pauses so much, for I would have probably tried using them to emulate certain types of speech. Actually, I feel that's probably what made the script more engaging. However, what I would have liked to see in the end was a visual symbol - a background or a dra...

Re: In 2050, your lover may be a ... robot

My thoughts on this topic might be a little fragmented. The discussion of artificial intelligence reminds me of the show Dennou Coil. (good show by the way) There are points in the story that show how virtual data that is obsolete or trashed but retains its artificial intelligence could be compared ...

Re: The state of VNs and their future

I know schoolgirls are cute, but is this all there is to life? If I were the devil's advocate I would tell you that no, life is not all about girls in school. I would tell you what I see on the news; the mortgage crisis, the war in Iraq, the Olympics in Beijing, inflation, starvation, obesity, Geor...

Re: Why Do You Like VN?

In a nutshell, when you are the parent, at least until your kids reach puberty, you have to draw the line yourself and say what and how much they can play. Though you will mentally groan for saying it, it will be for their own good, and one day they will understand it. That is a good point. Video g...

Re: Best place for recruitment?

Artists that can produce exactly the art style I want for the money I can pay within the deadlines I need and accept the payment methods that are convenient for use AND NOT GIVE ME ULCERS are really not that easy to find. Very true. An artist with an inclination toward games and specifically visual...

Re: Why Do People Make Fun Of You?

Watching Batman Begins or Spiderman should have already shown you that exacting revenge is not the way to go. More importantly, they also tell you that people change and have the capacity to change. Movies aside, my only suggestion is for you to pick a hobby or two - or three - that will keep your m...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

Otherwise drawing all those ovals and lines isn't doing anything for you since you're just making it up.
On the other hand, at least there's something being put on paper. Practice is practice, even if they're ovals and lines. Of course, having a reference is a plus. :)

Re: Kaji (Working Title...)

Don't rush.
Noughts is trying to be helpful, I think. The suggestions were a bit assertive. ^^;

Umemi, we will wait in anticipation for future updates. It sounds like a promising, albeit ambitious, project. Do your best!
