Re: What's the longest and shortest game you've ever made?

Shortest: 1000 words. Longest (not written by me; written by Taleweaver) 150,000 words. Longest written by myself around 24,000 words. I'm planning something around 50K.

My metric is 20K = 1 hour normal reading speed.

Re: Need tips for finding artists

Has the world really come to this? The environment has changed a lot. While the indie boom has been beneficial to freelance artists, programmers, and musicians, it's still expensive for a writer/director/producer. It isn't like a VN making circle where it's like "Okay, I guess you can draw bet...

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

There's this certain publishing house in the Philippines that publishes popular Wattpad stories written by Filipino authors. I wanted to start reading Filipino books, so I bought their books. Lo and behold - I cried. The grammar was terrible! Most of the plot were cliches; only few had potential. T...

Re: [HELP US PLS!!!] We're looking for a Filipino VN maker!

The only thing you need a Filipino for is if the writing is in Tagalog. Or if you have a problem communicating your ideas in English. Most Filipino producers tend to collaborate internationally. Or if you want 3rd world prices, most Filipino artists have plenty of international clients so prices hav...

Re: Commission Woes

I'm just a hobby composer just working for my own projects, not good/confident enough for external commissions. Besides piano and recorder as a child, I had no music education experience, everything I learned was self-taught from midi programs, Garageband, and FL Studio. I barely can even read music...

Re: Monmusu quest style battle system

Just search for Jake's Battle Engine it can handle this but you'll have to throw all the bells and whistles out and stick to the simple battle.

Steam is now selling Interactive Fiction: http://www.joystiq.com/2014/06/18/steam-begins-selling-all-text-interactive-fiction-with-heroes-ri/ Comments on the article are hilarious. To the OP: Non-sprite VNs can actually be more immersive, especially with first-person writing and atmospheric effects.

Re: DEVN 2014 - Demographics of EVN Community - Results

Back to demographics, there's also the expectation that something written by an older person should have more depth. Now I may not be the best writer, but there are still a lot of things I can draw from experience that would make for excellent material. These are the things that can be offered when ...

Re: DEVN 2014 - Demographics of EVN Community - Results

I'm actually curious as to why the large majority of the Japanese VN community are male while the large majority of the English one are female. There have been plenty of previous threads that discuss this, with titles like "Why BxG is so unpopular?" etc etc. I'll try to summarize. There h...

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

So today, some kid decided to cheat on his finals by looking at information he had on his cell phone-- a cell phone which was literally up his sleeve. Oh, so THAT'S why you're wearing such a heavy coat on this hot, summer day. And to think this guy is going to be president of the senior class next ...

I am also interested in the concept of $1 microtransactions just to unlock erotic art. What vendors will take care of this, though? Bitcoin?

Re: Networking: Making your project popular?

The biggest factor affecting notoriety that I have seen, on a consistent basis, that separates those who get a lot of attention from those who don't--is the amount of work you are producing and how often. Problem is, what am I to show off in a forum post withut spoiling the story? Sprites are done,...
