Miserable in what way? And what do you mean with "also expect people to be optimistic."? Is that a bad thing somehow or am I just reading the sentence in the wrong context(wouldn't be the first time that's happened on the Internet)? Miserable in it leading to burn out. Miserable in having...

Aaah, don't we all hate the "it depends" answer. It's a sucky answer. It's also the true one. *sigh* I figure with what you've told me, there's a lot of factors in here that a lot of these kinds of problems could be worked through with just a conversation and a little plan. Working throug...

I've thought about doing the same thing as OP, since the game that I'm working on already has an established fanbase which could help get more hands on deck if I need, and I guess the short of it is that if I get really desperate(with losing volunteers god forbid), I might have to make it known to ...

Thanks for those two little scenario scripts, it was quite helpful (it probably took you a long time to write too, I'm sorry) . You're most welcome. :) It's once you get to Character 4 that things become kind of connected, but how there isn't quite a clear idea for yet. I guess you're free to tell ...

To me, a lot would depend on what the "in-dev" version consists of. If it's a buggy game with place holder art, typos everywhere, and an incoherent plot, I think you're shooting yourself in the foot. (Since if I played that game, I 100% would not touch something else by you later on since ...

You mean to tell me that there are people out there who actually write like that?? Because the examples that you put of how to phrase these questions better is what I normally type and I thought that was blunt? Yikes. People can be monumental jerks, alas. (And I think mildly blunt is fine, I think....

A lot of good points here, so thanks for that! You said this though "Its not easy, and the sort of question you can't just bluntly ask". Another dumb question, but how come? Isn't being forward with everyone in a project always important? Not Imperfect, so will probably give a different a...

Personally I don't mind serially released things, they can be done well and even though you might get a discount by waiting to buy the bundle, you have to wait for all episodes to be released and try to avoid spoilers in the meantime, and sometimes you can buy the discounted version up front in the...

I can as many novels were released this way. (Think Dickens) Love it or hate it, serial releases do have a long history behind them.

(I also read a lot of comics which also tend to be released serially.)

Also, if someone buy a few chapters : when the first one is finished, will the next one start automatically ? I don't want the player to have to quit the game in order to launch the next one. Especially if the chapters are shorts. I believe it's not too hard to do this. (I haven't looked into how, ...

Hi everyone! I've been working on a game and had a few questions regarding releasing it all at once or on a chapter by chapter basis. As creators, has anyone done this before? How has it worked? Do you have any recommendations on best practices? As players, is this something that you like? Is this s...

LOL why? It's easy language I'd agree that it's an easy language. But if you're not already familiar with programming, *any* language can seem daunting. (And while I'd agree that the basics are pretty easy, doing fancier stuff can be pretty tricky. This is true for a number of advanced Ren'Py featu...

A few thoughts... 1. If you don't meet your goal, you don't get the funds. So...that's a thing to keep in mind. If you don't think you can make $5k (or $20k or $100k or whatever), don't set it that high or you won't get the funds when the kickstarter ends even if you get a lower amount. 2. Alternate...

One more thought - Even if it's a story isn't explicitly *aimed* at children, children often very much enjoy media geared at adults. (Esp. children in the 8-12 range. I think I was reading Asimov by middle school, and read my first adult novels around 8 or so.) So while definitely some VN fare *real...

However, to be honest, I would probably buy an already existing track if I only had $25/track. Or look after free-to-use tracks. There's a lot of good free ressources that can be used even for commercial work. Agreed. I've had fairly good luck sourcing free music and sound effects. (Of course, if y...
