Tears 9,10 Yeah, I know it's supposed to be a tearjerker, but they made Yeonji extremely likable. It was not fair that they gave you false hope that you could save her in the second playthrough, and then turn the whole thing around on you :cry: Saya no Uta Really liked Sukisaka, being the "anti...

Well, let me reassure you on Ren'Py. It's probably one of the easiesr programs out there to use, even more so for the creation of visual novels. All you really need to know is basic programming, and all the scripts and things can be found here: http://renpy.org/doc/html/ You might want to look at th...

Well, I meant my post in terms of "what's left of the story". For example, if you take Steins;Gate, you have the choice to go for the routes of other girls. But you'll choose to do this knowing that there is more of the story left, and you're just branching to a subplot-ish scene. Same wit...

My current visual novel involves a psychotic little girl who's completely normal until something snaps in her. It's kind of like flipping a switch. She goes from a regular nice person to an insane murderer. I guess it's sort of like yandere, considering that she kills every single person who gets cl...

It's not a bad idea. The basic layout of your visual novel is pretty clear, and that's always good. However, consider the amount of work you want to put into it before you actually begin. How many paths and endings are you planning on making? For example, if you're going to make four paths, and have...

1. Unexplained sci-fi/fantasy element: Near the start of the visual novel, an enigmatic character gives the protagonist/player an object with seemingly supernatural powers. However, the rest of the plot is void of sci-fi/fantasy elements, the object is non-critical to the plot and is more of a &quo...

Well if you think about it, for a regular story, there is a single ending, which we may call the "True Ending." With visual novels it's a bit different. Since most visual novels have multiple endings to choose from, there must be an ending that the creators originally plan for the story; o...

It really depends on the theme of the visual novel. For example, Saya no Uta. It made perfect sense for the protagonist to die at the end because the protagonist has, in a sense, become the antagonist of the story . The same happens with Utawarerumono. Hakuoro becomes the embodiment of evil, which h...

I personally pay more attention to the surroundings when writing. However, for a script that's going to be part of a VN or KN, the background picture speaks for itself. There's no real need to emphasize on background in the plot unless the plot relies on the background, for example a murder scene. B...

I'm getting back to Kara no Shoujo after putting it on hiatus for two weeks. Also started CrossChannel a couple of days ago. I'm also planning on replaying three of the best visual novels I've come across so far : Steins;Gate, G-Senjou no Maou, and Katawa Shoujo. Katawa Shoujo brings back a lot of m...

Well a popular name for female characters is RuFeng/RuFong (如鳳) (Like Phoenix, Phoenix-like). This gives the female character a slight "independent woman" feel. You could also use MeiFeng/MeiFong (美鳳) (Beautiful Phoenix). Since one character names are quite common, you could also just use ...

Well, being Chinese, I can tell you that Feng (鳳) (Phoenix) is generally accepted as feminine and could very well fit with your character. Surnames are completely unrelated to names, being more dependent on family. Usually the surname has nothing to do with the name that is given. Also a name could ...

Well, I can stand in for as long as you need me to I can do both writing and editing at the same time, so it won't really interfere with my writing.

I can stand in as an editor. However, due to myself already working on a personal project as a writer, being an editor of this team would only be temporary. So yeah, if you guys don't mind, I'll be happy to help with editing

I like writing murder scenes because, well, they leave so much up to the imagination. I have no problems writing about gore or cannibalism. In fact, most of my scenario practices involve either gore, murder, or cannibalism. On the other hand, I'm completely horrible at fight scenes. I hate how I can...
