Aaaah, of course, the middle way. But, I have a challenge here. Try to formulate two options that you think would be fitting, give me two choices (giving positive points to Mayako and Asuka) that you feel would be appropriate. Anyway, I hope you can try it and perhaps see the problem from the other...

Please stop hijacking my thread. Take it somewhere else. Thanks for the (on-topic) replies. A lot of interesting ideas have been mentioned, and I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem. The central issue can be summed up like this: The user is not interested in the story YOU want to tell. The...

Annoyances with games

I've been playing video games most of my life. I've played pretty much every type of game imaginable. Now, I only stumbled onto Visual Novels, or whatever the correct terminology is, in the past couple of years. However, they are very similar to Interactive Fiction which I've been playing for much l...

The thing is, since my game will be free and only distributed within the ACG communities, I am not inclined to ask permission from the musician, because his albums are published by a major record label so I would naturally expect the answer to be no, and I'd rather not shoot myself in the foot. Bes...

I feel like I want to help, but I don't know how else, so I figure maybe I can audition for the Eileen part. I meet the qualifications -- I'm female, and I have the standard "accentless" American accent. I've done voice acting before, (in Japanese, lol), for a short animation that I did fo...

I don't know about the groups thing, but I think knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses is good. I'm probably best at writing. I've always been good at coming up with stories, and I've even finished a couple of novellas. (I don't know about publishing them yet, because there might be more sto...

Looking good. I think the page looks professional, and with the ability to change and update it, you won't have to do all the work on it. Good job, I'm glad to see that things are coming together.

I'm probably luckier than most, and have a lot of free time at my disposal. Yet, paradoxically, more time does not necessarily mean that more gets done. I'm still trying to follow through on my goals, and while a lot has been done, like outlining and some character pieces, I'm finding myself critici...

Compositing images under one name

Basically, I want to use a paperdoll technique with my story, because it saves me from having to do a lot of redrawing, plus it allows me to mix and match character stuff at will. Anyway, this blinking eyes thing has become popular, and I think it would be cool if I put it in too. So, I was just goi...

Cute mascot. I also have a problem with it (sorry, I know you've changed it a few times already), but did you intend for the bottom part of her outfit to be a different color than the top? It's looks greener.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Well, thanks for your replies. I'll think about it some more (since this project is far away right now), but it'll probably turn out that I won't include it. Mainly because it wouldn't be very interesting to me, so that'll show up in the game, and I'd have so few love interest characters anyway. Tha...

Catering to all flavors of romance?

I don't know if this has been asked before, or if it has been asked in this way, so I'm sorry if this is a redundant question. In brainstorming about a ren'ai game, I came upon an interesting question. Should I include homosexuality? Personally, I am heterosexual, and prefer to see that in different...

I think Ren'Py has a music fadeout option, please use it. I hate it when music just stops for no reason. IIRC, music fadeout isn't implemented for midi music (which goes through a completely different path then PCM (wav, mp3, ogg, mod, etc.) music. I'm surprised by that. It seemed like such an obvi...
