Re: Recommended Books on Writing?

There is a tenet that I live and die by as a writer. A good writer HAS to be a good reader. If you don't read your writing will most likely suck. Reading stimulates your writing skills and expands your vocabulary so that you can express your thoughts better. I ALWAYS read before I go to bed at night...

Re: Dealing with your team

I have a team of four people, all of them friends and I personally forsee no problem with it because they are all going into the field of making videogames and they are very motivated. However I am a little worried about my artist because she does have a tendency to shut down when she is stressed ou...

Re: Dive Into Python: The Perfect Python Tutorial

I am going to disagree with you there. I always found that tutorial to be really poorly written and hard to understand. The Python documentation is notorious for really crappy writing...

Re: Politically correct history

I will use an example from my game that I am developing on how you should portray historical settings and references correctly. In my current project one of my characters is the grandson of a Japanese scientist that was part of what was known as Unit 731. This group of officially mandated scientists...

Dive Into Python: The Perfect Python Tutorial

As many of you know, Renpy is made from Python code with smatterings of Pygame intermixed with it. I first learned Python several years ago and I fell in love with it the first time I started a program. I know quite a few languages: C++, Java, HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP, Visual Basic (and several va...

Re: Politically correct history

Always, always, always represent history accurately. Glossing over history is always a bad thing, but it is important to remember that just because a time period contained a great deal of racism/sexism/what have you, it doesn't mean that the time period was all bad. Take the Nazi party for example. ...

Re: using copyrighted assets in noncommercial works

This has got to be the shortest post that LWR has ever written. I am taking a screenshot :P But yeah, you don't want to mess around with IP. In order to maintain their IP rights companies virtually HAVE to sue you or issue a cease and desist order. At least that is how it is in America, but don't th...

Re: Why, as a game developer, you NEED your own website

I didn't mind his rant. I think he could have used better wording, but I don't think his intention was to hurt anyone or be offensive. He does have some valid points though. If you are going to be serious as a developer then you really do need a website. More and more businesses are finding that the...

Re: Player Interaction in a Story

@Ziassan: Variables are basically how I control most of my branches as well. So except for some big choices, most branching occurs because of a trend in player behavior instead of any one choice in a scene. Hmmmm...variables....that gives me an ingenious idea for my game!

Re: Player Interaction in a Story

Like a speed demon. I went to school when Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing was considered the height of computer science. Oh my God, me too! They had us straight-up typing in that stupid program for an hour and a half each day. URGH I started to loathe that $#@%-eating grin Mavis had on her face. Did yo...
