Re: Good Endings, Bad Endings, True Endings, False Endings

It's not a problem , it's a Style. -- However those of us that play VNs specifically for their Stories can feel cheated if the ending we (the individual players) seek to achieve turns out to be short-changed in detail and emotional impact compared to the ending the Creator liked best, and designate...

How do you write a story?

Hey, I'm not talking about how you go about actually creating a story but rather the act of writing down the story. I'm just starting to work on a project and I feel a bit (read: extremely) disorganized and don't exactly how to plan my story and how to actually write it out. I've looked at Freeplane...

Re: Opinions on warning for cruel twist ending?

I was thinking about this, too. I am very sensible to some kind of topics and it happened a few times that I played a game that seemed absolutely fine but then suddenly included said topics which disturbed my playing experience.

Re: Good Endings, Bad Endings, True Endings, False Endings

Hmmm. I don't really remember any of the games I played having true and not so true endings, but is this really such a problem? The problem I've started working on will have a so called true ending, but that does not mean that the other endings are something lesser or not as viable. The true ending ...
