Coloring and layers?

Under the assumption that you use layers and build up on a drawing until ya got the picture and cleaned the scratchy-ness and etc-basically clean line art. Do you merge all the layers of drawing together and then color on another layer underneath?

Character development climax

For the most part, one wouldn't exactly want a character to become a Mary Sue or have too many characters who one can't exactly develop within the frame of a visual novel. The character'd have to have flaws, but sometimes it's a bit hard to add those flaws in. I'm mapping out the story still, but in...

Longest Part of a VN?

I'm just curious, what's the longest part of making a VN for you?
Art assets? Script? Coding? Music? Mapping?

Re: Visuals for KN

Nod, nod, nod, nod. Yea, the visuals can't make up for the plot~ But a lot of time, they keep me going along with the story for a longer time- good or bad, either way. Thank you all for the references~ And as for Higurashi, since I'm already really biased towards the characters (Me: the otaku who sp...

Visuals for KN

When it comes to kinetic novels, for a lot of people, they aren't all that appealing since there's no choices or anything-or at least I think that's why some people don't like them. I enjoy kinetic novels, but the ones that I've really really loved are the ones with an interesting take on the visual...

Re: What do you think is the best {POV to write a VN in?

Switching between third person and multiple first person depending on the situation or something is my favorite. Recently, I've played an awesome game- Shikkoku no Sharnoth- that did that wonderfully. It made it possible to get immersed in all important characters and such... And the third person PO...

Doodle~ doodle~ doodle~ (...meanwhile, I'm browsing through this thread...up to pg 200...)

@MaiMai: Waaah, tutorial. I'll check it out.
@JumpJump: Okey~ though I never use my mouse for drawing anyways since it's not a mouse, but a touch pad thing on a laptop.
@Both: Thank you~ :)

Would this work to replicate from paper to digital?

I'm not so great at using a drawing tablet, so my pencil doodles always turn out a lot lot lot better. And when it comes to pencil doodles, I get the eyes situated in the right spot more accurately (first three tries yay~) when doing it on lined paper. So, when it comes to making VN sprites and all ...

Re: Visual Novel in PowerPoint?

Wow, I remember doing a visual novel type of thing back in 4th grade in power point. I'll just give my two cents on my experience back when I was younger: It was easy and fun to be honest (though I had a template already) There were buttons that lead to certain pages (just like one of those choose y...

Re: Protagonist's name?

It depends on 2 factors: 1. Will there be voicing? If so, a set name is good. After all, for the most part at least for me, I don't care about naming my character. It's nice to hear the girl/guy actually say my name even if it's a default name. It's still fine to have the person be able to choose a ...
