Re: English pronouns (a question to native speakers)

You're right that "it" would stand out if you used "he" for fox and dog. It would stand out less if you used "it" for all of them. It does feel a little less personified than he or she, but not to the point that it's not a viable option. The personification of the anim...

Re: Are you proud of your art?

Yeah, I have a hard time being proud. On one hand, there's stuff I know I can do a lot better than a lot of people. On the other hand, there are obviously people who blow me out of the water. Plus I can't be bothered to do a *lot* of art, at least not relatively speaking. You know, some research has...

Rabbit, however, poses a problem. While there are feminine equivalents, for the most part we'd still say ...

Re: Really terrible art?

This is why I am not allowed to make my own BGs... LOL... I thought the wine bottles were books, and the booths did look like booths except the colors made it seem like it was in some dark basement. ;) Yeah, I'd say a lot of it is about patience and practice. I think references are important as wel...

Re: NanoReno - 2013

It's interesting; I just started getting into the VN genre last month. I did NaNoWriMo in 2011 and actually completed it, and I was tossing around my own ideas and thinking, "it would be sort of cool if there were something like that for VNs." Then I found this thread. =) I'm not so sure I...
