Running a windows nonrenpy VN on mac

Hmm, I dunno if anyone can help me with this, but I was given a copy of Lucky Dog 1 and I would like to play it, but I own a mac computer. Anyone know a way to install it on my mac without having to run parallels or crossover or anything like that? I know it's possible, because I have done it with U...

Re: Huge cast, or broken-up sets?

Basically, the game idea is a school for magic, with one of three starting character options determining your base stats and who your roommates are. You could always make it that the stat chosen at the beginning limits the MC's available matches. For example, if the player chooses to focus in offen...

Re: List software you use here

I work on a Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.2 installed, so many of my apps are mac-specific. - - - Since the Adobe Design Suite was a required purchase for my degree, I almost exclusively use Adobe products for most design projects. It's not anything about them specifically, its just more economical for m...

Your Stereotypes

This isn't a post about discussing stereotypes, but more about what kind of effect they have on the individual person being stereotyped. Post what stereotype you've been targeted with and how it made you feel. Because I'm white, I think I'm better than everyone - I don't think that I'm better than a...

Re: What do you want from a visual novel?

This is amusing, because: a) USians use 'American' to mean 'citizen of the United States of America' without thinking about it all the time , and b) I often use 'USians', to be precise, but USians also sometimes presume offence simply because I'm for some reason not calling them 'Americans', so whe...

Re: A man married to a pillow

Hmm, I dunno which is worse in my opinion. I mean, the people who marry landmarks could always just be doing it for the publicity (no matter how much they insist it's for love) but I can't shake the feeling that someone who does something like marrying a character who has a defined personality (albe...

Re: What do you want from a visual novel?

I want a story that involves me and keeps me thinking about it long after I finish it. This is the reason I really like the Umineko series and other kinetic and adventure novels over regular dating sims, because they keep me involved with the story even after I finish it. With a dating sim, there's ...

Re: [WIP] Thinking (demo released)

If you really want more feedback though, I'll try to critique things as I see them updated. I took a look at the new summary and saw a few mistakes. I proofread it for you: What would you do if you could do things over and over again, no matter how many mistakes you make? I would have repeated every...

Re: Depicting Murder Scenes

I especially love the scene in the Revolutionary Girl Utena movie where Anthy shows Utena her scars/hole-in-her-heart/other-symbolic-mumbo-jumbo. You can see how it's expressed in the SPOILERIFIC CLIP here at 1:25: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00aPq2BI_W8 If you were to implement something like th...

Re: [WIP] Cold Breath series (IN NEED OF ARTIST!!!)

What are you looking for the artist to make?
Like, how many characters, expressions, do you want CG's, how many CG's, etc.
Is there a deadline? What's the expected delivery date?
Do you want the new art to conform to the old art, or are you okay with a differing style?

Re: Being Overcritical of Your Own Work

If his concern his quality, then he should take the time to be happy with the quality of his work. ... If you don't take the time to recreate your work until it's professional, it never will be professional. This goes without saying that you would develop the material until you're satisfied with it...
