Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

No wonder it's close, I don't even see how to improve it even more XD Amazing work! Thanks :) It's mostly tiny stuff that's left! --- Spent this morning trying to figure out good material settings for this. Ended up tweaking a fair bit in Photoshop anyway: http://s32.postimg.org/h0iceu2ed/whisey_01...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

WIP of a VN background I'm working on. This is probably close to what the final thing will look like.

Re: Hierofanía

You got the true ending on the first try! (some people had lots of trouble with it^^) It was also my favourite of the seven endings! I liked how ambiguous it was at the very end. In fact, I think one thing that makes the writing of Hierofania so nice is that you don't go out of your way to explain ...

Re: Art Dumpage! Show your art ^^

Decided to practice my 3D art by making something based off a Minoru Nomata painting . Still a WIP atm. I wanna texture it and add some plants and a sky too! http://s33.postimg.org/cvfvfq02n/image.png Edit: I decided this is finished enough! I did UV map & texture it though: https://s32.postimg....

Re: Hierofanía

I just got an ending for this (number 7!) and really, really enjoyed it. I think I'll try to get all the endings before writing any more feedback.

After I'd finished playing it put me in the mood for writing music. So here's a short piece of fan-music!

Re: Language-Learning VN Game for Japanese

TrickWithAKnife has been developing a VN that sounds a lot like this for quite a while now. He has an old WIP thread for it but it doesn't really seem representative of the VN as it is now. He hangs out in the #renpy IRC channel on freenode though. (I've pinged him with this thread.)

Re: StoryDevs — a site for finding VN devs

Will there be an option for "pay what you want?" Probably not. It's a model more suited to selling things that have already been made rather than ongoing labour in my opinion. I don't think it benefits either party to have an ambiguous amount of monetary compensation involved. And if it's...

Re: StoryDevs — a site for finding VN devs

It might be best to just list a few trusted methods from reputable companies and leave an "Other" payment text entry field for people to add their own lesser-known web services. Bank deposit and Paypal probably cover 99% of the commissions likely to be conducted anyway. Thanks for the sug...

Re: StoryDevs — a site for finding VN devs

Ah, I should've clarified further with the example from Paypal accepted use of currency. Multi-currency support for PayPal payments [ . . . ] And will it be seen on the profile page? That could be a matter of preference. The currencies format you presented looks great! No problem! And yes, a lot of...

Re: StoryDevs — a site for finding VN devs

Under Accepted Compensation if the compensation is monetary will it include the currency next to the term? For example: Commission (EUR) I hadn't thought of that but it's a good idea. I'd like to avoid specifying prices in the search mostly because that would be pretty useless... like it wouldn't e...

Re: Verbosity in Visual Novels

I also think it's better to leave an audience wanting more than wishing the VN ended hours ago. (side routes seem to fall into this a ton, especially ones with only the loosest ties to what could be considered the main plot). At least I'd personally rather be left wondering a bit about the characte...

Re: Developer Blogs?

It's not a development blog for a game, but I update my progress on StoryDevs on Tumblr. Here's a link to that . Eventually I'd like to have a blog on the actual site but for now I'd prefer to devote time to other things. I will say that making your Tumblr blog approximate the theme of your website ...

Re: Putting imges in the posts...

The forum needs to be able to get the width to know if it's 800px or less which is the limit for embedded images on this forum (attached images have no limit though). Something about those hosts is preventing the forum from getting the width. It's happened to me before but I can't remember what caus...

Re: Verbosity in Visual Novels

Verbosity is often a symptom of poor writing skills. This isn't to say a longer work is inherently bad but there is a difference between an author writing something long because it needed to be long vs. an author simply not having the awareness of what would be appropriate to remove. That being said...

Re: Budgeting and Prices

The lemma forums and VN games in general seems to have a skewed economy when it comes to pricing. Probably because 90% of people are amateurs, but prices are VERY LOW. And every contract you make with people will differ. This is very on point. Aside from regional differences I think the membership ...
