Re: 2016 Secret Santa

Can I gift my gift a little early, like on the 22nd or something? I've got long work hours and tons of Christmas parties and planning after today, so I wanna ensure it arrives on time, because I'm bound to forget with all that's going on outside of the internet.

Re: 2016 Secret Santa

I haven't done secret Santa in years. This sounds like a lot of fun! Plus, it's my birthday and life is finally getting better and so I'm in a great mood and would love to participate. I'm currently in the process of creating a VN on my own (everything is done by myself, save for BETA tests done by ...

Re: Be my VN friend? :-)

Greetings, fellow VNer! :D I know what it's like for you. I'm sorta socially awkward and mostly stay home and play or create games. My husband and my PC are my best friends. I very rarely hang out with anyone and mostly just work. You're more than welcome to chat with me! I'm a huge VN fan. I only j...

Re: Pervert and Yandere

Not quite sure if it's a Ren'py issue or what, but with the "choices" thing, there were two times where these invisible boxes popped up around dialogue and I could pick them as choices. I'm not sure if it was an error or what, but I'm going to reinstall Ren'py and see if that fixes it.

Re: To have a CG album, or not to have, that is the question

Thank you, Ran08! I'm having a lot of fun making my game because it's gotten me into bettering my art as well as learning coding, so it's pretty rewarding. @Mammon- I totally forgot about that aspect of the CG album. Thank you for bringing that point up. I know I've even used CG albums for that purp...

Re: To have a CG album, or not to have, that is the question

Thank you very much for the quick response, Ran08. It helps to know your opinion and thoughts on the matter. I will definitely take this into consideration as I'm putting together my game. I appreciate your feedback. :)

Re: VN title trouble

Thesaurus is my #1 go-to for titles. I came up with the title of my VN that I'm working on by simply thinking about the themes of my story/plot and trying different words instead of basic words. It helped a lot. In terms of your game, I first have to mention that I love your idea! It's quite the int...

Re: Ways to keep people motivated through the long haul

Well, in the case of people like me, whose game will be 100% free when it's actually done and am simply doing it for fun and the experience and practice in drawing, my motivation is that my characters and the story I came up with years ago will finally come to life. I don't need compensation because...

Re: Going from writing VNs to RPGs

Since we're on the topic of RPGs, I thought I'd mention that growing a love for certain types or games will really help with your writing.

Re: Average playtime in a single seating

Just depends, really. If the story is just amazing and I have the time, I will spend hours, if not a whole day, on a VN or a game. I'm a gamer at heart and, with my arthritis, I'm limited to what I can do for fun. For some reason, computer work is really easy on my arms and hands, so I play games a ...

Re: Creating A VN YOU want! (Questions/suggestions thread)

Jerminator's post on originality is actually a good read that will help you out. I would definitely read it and go from there. These questions can be helpful, but I think simply doing what that post says should be suffice enough. Because, in the long run, it shouldn't be so much about trying to be o...

Re: CG in visual novels - Too many or too few?

The way I see it- you should make as many as you feel your story needs and then read through your script and look at the CGs for each scenario and see if they take away from the scene or add to it.

To have a CG album, or not to have, that is the question...

So, I'm currently working on my first VN game and I have a lot of CGs, because I love VNs and all of the characters I've made and feel like my story just calls for them. But, I don't exactly have the talent to do a CG album, so I'm considering just not even bothering. I've played VNs with CG albums ...

Re: Pervert and Yandere

Thank you! I'm starting to put it all together, but the choice/branch system with points is kinda tough cause of indentation and whatnot. I'm currently at the part with Vanessa at her house and Charles. Your game is awesome, so far. The character art with all their emotions and clothing changes is r...

Re: Begin a VN project, challenges, etc

Writer's block is tough. I'm still working on my first project, just trying to finish the last drafts of my scripts for my character routes. Another issue is the art and perfecting your characters, CGs, backgrounds, etc. The biggest issue I'm facing is trying to ensure my multiple storylines work we...
