Re: 3rd person writing?

The only times I've seen complaints about verb tense in a visual novel is when past tense and present tense are mixed. I'd recommend using either one or the other; just be consistent. That makes sense. Consistency is what matters in the end. And I can be such a grammar Nazi sometimes. Thank you aga...

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...

My neighbor stepped on my cat. He claimed that he didn't see my little Zack because he had black fur.
IT WAS FREAKING BROAD DAYLIGHT. AND ZACK IS THREE YEARS OLD.

Re: Between The Raindrops [KN? - Action - Mature] ADDED A SK

Finished two sprites, will post a preview on them tonight when I get home. Found some really good, calming BGMS.
The writing is half-way done. Added multiple endings to it, though I'm having trouble with the coding.
Might need someone else to do it for me.

Some VNs told in third person are listed in posts at the attached link. http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=15018 Thank you for the links. The list has been helpful since I'm now planning to make a short VN in the third person. :) Absolutely. In fact I almost exclusively make ...

3rd person writing?

Just a random thought. Is it recommendable to make a VN with a third-person narrative? I don't mean a total omniscient storytelling, that jumps from person to person. It still focuses on one character. But can the person-to-person thing work out as well if it only focuses on a small cast? It might c...

Re: Ideas Dump

Okay so I know I'm currently working on a big project right now. But I can't help but keep on making up new plots in my head. Here's one. Please note that I wrote this spontaneously so it's not really "polished". Title : AutumnStain13 Genre : Psychological/Modern/Mature Synopsis : There is...

I have a bigger project right now where I originally planned on using CGs, but you're right I should test out first the all-CG concept. I have plans on releasing a short KN VN, something easy and light.

Amen to that. :D
Characters with amnesia at the beginning of the game are a bit hard to relate to if you ask me.
Not everyone has gone through amnesia so it feels a bit uncomfortable.

Re: Between The Raindrops [KN? - Action - Mature] ADDED A SK

Your signature caught my interest, so I came to see what this project was about, and I have to say I'm not disappointed at all! The art is beautiful, the plot seems really dark and complicated enough to keep us into the game, and I had fun reading the informations about the characters (especially A...

Re: Amount of info the protag has at the beginning.

Knowing nothing from the start and finding out at the same time as the player does seem more realistic to me. Generally, if you think about it, the protag might know a bit about the goings on, but they wouldn't have a feel idea (if they knew exactly what would happen I'd find it rather boring). If ...

Amount of info the protag has at the beginning.

Do you find it easier playing through a character that already has a rather extensive knowledge of the plot's conflict, post-play events and the things that influenced his motivations at the beginning of the game? Or is it easier/more convenient playing a character who knows very little (or nothing ...

Nah, I think you should do whatever you think is right for the story xD If you think the synopsis is fine the way it is, I think that's good (: It's been enough to pique people's interest in it, so I think that's fine. Yes, Filipino xD Are you, too? ...And I see you're a GoT fan, too... Thanks. I'm...

Re: Between The Raindrops [KN? - Action - Mature] ADDED A SK

The plot looks interesting, and your sketches are amazing! The logo doesn't seem to fit the story's mood, though... I'll be waiting for this game's release (: The synopsis doesn't really justify most of the story so it appears like the plot's very dark, so I can understand why the logo doesn't real...

Re: How did you get into anime?

Those Saturday morning Naruto marathons they show on TV during my elementary years. Those were the good days.
Totally had the hots for Neji. :lol:

And Doraemon too, it was being played on another channel. So I kept switching channels back and forth, much to my older cousin's irritation. :lol:
