Is payment always made via PayPal by direct person-to-person transactions? Paypal is a pretty fast and convenient solution; it supports international payments, and the money will be usable in your account within a day in most cases. However, Paypal charges a percentage-based fee, which means that w...

It's interesting to hear that others have issues with listening to music while drawing... for me, listening to music is pretty much the only way I can fully focus on making art. Maybe I just have concentration issues, but if I'm not listening to music, I might be able to draw for an hour or two bef...

Our next developer walkthrough video should be up soon, this time showing off some of the visual novel elements which are going to feature prominently in the completed game. In the meantime, here's a preview of the new animations that we're working on. These visual novel-style "story segments&q...

@Kuiper: Your point is basically that there are people who actually cannot even afford buying games that are cheap by western standards. Point taken. Do you honestly believe that what I described above is caused by that? I don't know. When someone says that what I'm selling is too expensive for the...

I understand that it may be difficult to spend 60+ dollars and at least 20 hours on a game if you need to pay the rent, buy food, maintain a crappy car and pay for your books, mobile flatrate and other everyday expenses. And yeah, even 20 dollars and 10 hours of playtime may be too much for you, de...

Long Live the Queen and the works by Winter Wolves like Loren Amazon Princess seem to be very financially successful and successful in the broader world. I think it's also worth pointing out that both of these developers (which are two of the largest developers that have their "roots" on ...

terra0nova and I watched all the trailers you linked, and we were actually somewhat unimpressed with the first trailers, even though they were cinematic, complex, etc. - mainly because we just don't care much about those types of games. We weren't "converted." I think that this gets at an...

(Content warning: some of these video links contain violence and gore and stuff.) If we're talking video game trailers, Dead Island's trailer is pretty famous both for generating massive amounts of hype when it dropped, and also being incredibly misrepresentative of the actual game. The poignant tra...

@Kuiper Thanks for adding an artist’s POV. I can see how an NDA upfront could be perceived as rather aggressive and/or a bad indicator. I definitely want to use a short(ish) plain-language contract and it seems from the responses here that such a contract would be received fine? Sure. Apart from ma...

As a contractor How do you feel about contracts? Is it offensive or comforting? In this artistic/online/visual novel environment do most people find a contract too formal? Contracts are great (and even reassuring/comforting) if they're articulating an agreement that we've already made. For me, the ...

@Rossfellow, I might be mis-remembering here (or simply parroting apocrypha), but my understanding is that the initial marketing around Madoka was actually intentionally deceptive (presenting it more as a traditional, by-the-numbers magical girl show), even going as far to leave Urobuchi's name out...

For an interesting article on this subject, here is a post from one of Valve's artists describing the process for designing the Left 4 Dead box art . Their early cover designs were focused on more "literal" images, which depicted four human heroes facing off against a horde of zombies, but...

Hey guys, new dev log video update, this one is about producing singles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsRQ6RmueHI I think that these videos are a good way for us to showcase some of the stuff that we're working on before we get to the point where we can ship a public demo, but if you think that t...

Partly I think it depends on how corporeal or ephemeral these "spirits" are. If they're the kind of things that flicker in and out of existence and take on different forms, then something like "phantasm," "phantom," "phantasma," or "specter" might wo...

I haven read any of Sanderson's books, but you talking about it has certainly piqued my interest. Any suggestions as to where i could get a copy and the order in which i should read it? Brandon Sanderson is a very popular and well-known fantasy author (his career really took off when he took over t...
