QTEs are alright if they are integrated well into the story and forms part of the overall VN. Rose Guns Days does it quite well by placing a simple minigame during fight scenes which does go along well with the atmosphere and overall presentation of the game. So, I would say that minigames/QTEs shou...

I'm curious, what do you already know about Laika and Soviet space exploration efforts in the 1950s? I have heard of the story and read about it before in a manga once. So yea, I kinda know about it I guess, although it's not very deep knowledge on the story. Have you ever played a visual novel tol...

I personally think that this is a pretty common problem for writers, nothing to worry over too much, but here's some general tips to keep you on track since I've had times when I've stumbled upon blocks like these too. 1. Write a single true route first and finish your first draft It's always good t...

Shoots! The art looks fantastic! The setting kinda reminds me of VA-11 HALL-A, which I thought was pretty cool as a backdrop for that bartending action game! XD But overall, the project reeks of coolness from all sides now that the visuals are out. 1. What do you think about the story / setting so f...

1. English (My best) 2. Chinese, Mandarin (Can do a bit of everything from speaking to writing to reading - The simplified version not the old style chinese) 3. Japanese (Still in the midst of learning. Speaking and reading only. Using a Romaji keyboard helps with the writing, but the physical writi...

@Mammon @Scribbles @Xandra Funnily enough, I do find that I have a bit of a problem with 'assuming the readers don't read between the fine lines/don't understand without proper explanation', it's something I've been trying to stamp out for quite some time now. But still though, I do worry that the ...

Hey guys! Just an update on the characters after two weeks of silence! But we currently have a new character bio up today! Check it out below or above for it! Also, we've revamped how our character bios look and edited Sanada's one for more details on his character! Hope you guys like the new look! ...

I'm just wondering from the community, but how do you guys identify and correct lengthy purple prose. Or in another light, what do you consider as lengthy purple prose. The correcting part of it isn't as hard as the identifying part, so I'm just wondering how do you guys who write out there identify...

I feel like visual novels are a more wholesome package that is the cross between a book, an anime and a manga. It has elements from all of them thrown into the mix and so it's really hard to compare one with the other since individually they have their own strengths and weaknesses. But personally, a...

I don't deny that getting good artwork is a pretty hard but if you commission an artist (Or a team of artists) you know can handle it for a price you're willing to pay, then it shouldn't pose too much of an issue. But yes, otherwise if you're thinking of getting all your art assets from the creative...

So far, the graph looks like this, I'll attach it to the main post as well, just so that it'll remain up there. Current Voting Results (23 June 2017): http://i.imgur.com/ZBzIUbr.png But from the looks of it the current ranking seems to cascade down from: 1. Art (6*) 2. Story/Plot (5*) 3. Theme/Genre...

Shoots! Reading through this, it's giving me a kind of Kara No Shoujo and Shikkoku no Sharnoth vibe, both of which are pretty damn good! The sprites look real crazy good and overall the story sounds awesome at this point, murder mysteries are a genre that's up my alley after all. 1. Is any of the ch...

Personally, I think building the plot and the story is essential for your characters to come together. I'm not saying you should totally throw your characters aside, but instead, by building up your plot/story/setting/genre first, you'll be able to easier identify your characters. What I'm saying is...

Well, if you have the cash, a CG would be good to fill in the scene. My usual preferred angles are: 1. From the angle of the car hood looking in (Say the camera man is lying flat on the car hood or slightly further away, looking straight inwards from the middle of the hood) 2. From the interior look...

1. Does the summary of the story tickle your fancies? If it does, tell us why! If it doesn't, tell us why as well! Yes, definitely! I especially loved the 'The Story' section, where you included the teaser blurb. It sounds intriguing and mysterious! 2. Does the fact that it follows a more Kinetic N...
