There's some manga character clip art packages on Amazon that you can use. They're all photoshop layers, so you can swap out body parts, heads, clothes to make different poses and stuff. The art is 100% licensed for anything you want to do. The drawbacks are the cost (like $20 per package), they're ...

Jack's right. At $4.99 or $5.99, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot in the iPhone market. Also, the dozen or so games I've made bank me around $3 per day, lol. They almost all have lite versions and it took me about a month to make each one. The market is just so ridiculously diluted. However, t...

I've had the best results by first writing extremely detailed biographies on all of the characters. First I'll begin with typical stats like gender, age, hobbies.

Another thing is the fact that a VN can sell for $19.99 (example, Summer Session) on the desktop but yo...

Hey guys,

I'm sort of working on a VN idea and I want to make the main platform the iPhone. I was just wondering, do you guys think that's a viable market? Does anyone have any ballpark sales figures on any ports that they've done?

Looks awesome! Good luck!

I don't have one started yet, but I did go to your Ren'ai games site and I just wanted to say that it had some great advice/tutorials on starting out. Much like Lemma's site. Great work! I'm glad to see there's a healthy English community for dating sims and visual novels. If I ever get something of...

I think animator nowadays should draw faster, since technology really help in making animation. Cell-shading, 3D CG, digital illustration and animation software, etc. Only the coloring part is faster, the roughs/animation need to be done by hands, cleaned then scanned (and sometimes need approval) ...

Your story sounded interesting and with only 3 characters, it doesn't seem too ambitious. Do you have an update on how it's going? Just curious.
