Dude! Amazon android Kindle Fire table for $199 US!

Have you guys heard of this? Really affordable tablet! It's very very feature minimal (No Camera nor mics, etc...) but this could be awesome for expanding the market at this low price point!

If it's amazon pushing this then it might work. If only it didn't limit it's game services to the U.S. though.

Re: Fanservice for women?

My main problem is the separation between men and women as if they were two distinct monolithic entities, and pandering to those rather than writing the story you want to make. Remember, 'write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will ...

Re: Fanservice for women?

Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't you focus on making a good story with good characters rather than designing a game for a narrow subset of a particular part of the gender spectrum? If girls aren't going to play your game because it involves a male lead, something somewhere has gone horribly wrong....

Re: Fanservice for women?

But I thought the point is to not get caught up with these common tropes. I would personally just write the best male characters can be, and just go towards the smexy side when portraying their CGs. It's definitely easier for a male writer to imagine "if I were cool, this is how to act" s...

Re: Fanservice for women?

I used to read a bunch of shoujo manga just because my needs for reading romantic stories weren't being met and I enjoy it. So I think I got some of the fanservice for women embedded into my brain. I just can't place confidence in identifying them myself. People around me have been pestering me for ...

Re: Konami and the Tokimeki Memorial Series for boys and gir

Looking at some of the earlier posts about reasons why Konami doesn't localize their tokimeki games in English... eh... I guess I may try to talk to them.

Re: Infinite Game Works

I believe Tom's review is a pretty fair one. Juggling the different potential personalities was kinda tricky. There is something very dangerous yet very tempting to do in the plot that would have made writing it a complete nightmare. It was very good thing that I had some basic sense of combinatoric...

Re: Working Towards 6.14

For now we can just have multiple rpa files?

Edit: Also where would be the file/code I would need to run to generate a new rpa with only the files I specify?

Re: Question: Will renpy ever have a GUI?

I think there is some code where you don't have to type "Show" all the time. You just write whatever expression there is between the character name and the dialogue.

Re: What women want from female characters

I kinda think there may be the issue of what the "marketing department" wants that interferes with a lot of things involving from what the game designers/developers want. This may also include any sort of investors and what they think will sell. Edit: Also I've been trying to look into why...

Note on using On hide and changing dependent variables UI

It's not really a bug but something to consider. I recently had an issue with trying to fix a bug with my "tons of code" Ui. I actually removed a string from a list directly after hiding a Ui window that depended on it. I also had a selected index which marked which one in the list was cur...

You should be using that. You can get good high quality if you get the settings right. You'll have to learn a bit of command line to use it though.
