Re: What can a Producer do?

I've worked as a producer on NDS and PSP games. The definition of a producer in a game dev studio can vary a bit, but this vid has one of the best descriptions I've seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUkcz2taCiw

Re: What writing do you look 4 in a VN

I'd strongly recommend running through several of the most recommended VNs for research. I've seen them work fine with and without narration, and I think that choice depends much on what kind of experience you're going for.

Re: Britney's Back! :D

Welcome back! From a pragmatic perpsective, forum arguments can (and usually do) chew up a ton of time that could have been used for development. I try to weigh discussions before even joining them, which is why I may come off as a bit of a lurker.

Re: Paring Down Large Ideas

I'd make a fairly robust outline of the entire story, and examine each scene/section. What are we trying to convey with this scene? What is the minimum that this scene must contain to achieve its goals? You can build out the "essentials" version of the game first, working in additional con...

Re: Are there any free inventory item images to use?

I'd look for stuff like this on the Unity asset store https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/20016

Most aren't completely free, but close enough

Re: Will a dialogue-only Visual Novel work?

Xblaze (PS3, Vita) is dialogue only. I think it worked out very well

Re: How many demos should I make before recruitment?

One impressive demo is enough to get my attention. I need to get the strong impression that the game will be made, no matter what.

Also, A-Kon is in a week! I can go to that one, but A-Fest is uncertain.

Re: Foreign Languages

I am envious. Is there any place I can trade in useless TV show and movie quote data for fundamental German language knowledge?

Re: Is it possible to make an assessment quiz on Ren'py?

I don't see why not. You could have several choices at each question point, and increment some variable based on the answers. At the end point, you check the variable and provide a result depending on what bracket the total fell into. 100 points = Cool cat, 50 points = Normal person, 10 points or le...

Re: Open world 3d, visual novel game

Based on that animation, are you offering to give or pay a million yen? If so, I call dibs! As for the game idea, I think we'd have to see a prototype to make good evaluations. My main concerns with an open world are the chances of players getting lost, and not having that much to do in all that spa...

Re: Being friends with another visual novel creator?

I agree 100% with KittyKatStar. Having someone to bounce ideas with can help out in so many ways. I love meeting with game devs, writers, painters, filmmakers, and other creative types.

Re: Help with multiple endings?

Just my opinion, but I dislike having right or wrong endings in a game. I'm not a fan of blatant good/evil meters, either. I want the ending I reach to be the just as "right" as the others.

Re: Home office?

As someone who works best in quiet places, I'd go for something like that. Will you have sufficient climate control?
