Re: Why Are Dating Sims/VNs for the iOS so expensive?
These curves are making me wonder about something: people actually make profit off of VNs? I don't mean to be crude or dismissive, so forgive me if I sound that way. As an outsider, I honestly thought VNs were such a tiny market nobody makes money off of them outside of Japan, and it's more of a hob...

Re: Why Are Dating Sims/VNs for the iOS so expensive?
I think the better question is why the hell are other games on iOS so cheap? I guess that's really the question I was asking. Thank you! :) Personally, iOs gaming has really changed gaming for me, because the ease with which I can play, and it's introduced me to a ton of games I would never have pl...

Re: Why Are Dating Sims/VNs for the iOS so expensive?
Thanks for everyone's responses! I guess I am pretty spoiled, particularly by stuff like "Game Dev Story", "Plants vs. Zombies", and "Kingdom Rush". I think each of those games cost me less than $5 a piece, but I ended up playing them for 30+ hours each. I feel these ga...

Why Are Dating Sims/VNs for the iOS so expensive?
Granted, a few of them are "free", but that's just for the prologue. Additional characters and character sets are about 7 bucks a pop. Typically a full VN will end up costing 8-18 dollars. Does anyone know exactly why these apps are priced so much higher than many other games? Thanks for a...

Re: Player Interaction in a Story
I haven't read any KNs, but when people say "Kinetic Novel" this comes to mind: The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/fantastic-flying-books-mr./id438052647?mt=8 This book is unbelievably gorgeous, but more importantly, I feel makes incredible use...

Not Sure Where to Put This, But Ren'Py is Amazing
This is just an enthusiastic thank you to Py Tom and his work on this amazing software. The fact that someone who can barely program (me) can put together a little game AND have it packaged for three different OS's (plus Android) is nothing short of amazing. Thank you so very much for all your ingen...

Re: "I'm buying an Android Tablet to Game with Ren'Py" threa
I'm thinking of getting a tablet too, in order to play and test VNs. My question is...can you actually develop the game on a tablet?
Because it would be super nice to just carry the tablet around and code.

Re: Coming Out On Top: Demo 4/8/12 (BXB, Comedy, Dating)
Wow, thank you for the feedback, Joey! I'm delighted you enjoyed it. Yup, I'll be trying to involve the player character as much as possible, to try and help him/her feel immersed. Yes, that's a bug! I mistakenly used the older format for variables...and for some reason it worked okay on my version....

Re: Kitten Crusade [NaNoRenO 2012][cat][sim]
Whoa, I can't believe you guys did this. I had no idea you can program stuff like this on RenPy. Very cute, lively, and fun, though I'm getting my behind kicked in the game! Game play is smooth. I really like the "plan your day" set up. The music is great. I agree with Papillon about the d...

Re: Coming Out On Top: Demo 4/8/12 (BXB, Comedy, Dating)
Update: Redistributed the game after playing around with variables. New demo with slight alteration in dialogue, but not worth replaying if you played the first version.

Re: Coming Out On Top: Demo 4/8/12 (BXB, Comedy, Dating)
Glad you enjoyed it so far, Nuxill!!! Your words are so very encouraging. I'll let you know if you I get stuck in code (which I usually do). I'm way past my college years, so I don't even think I could set it in high school if I tried. :-) I just started playing and already I've laughed out loud a c...

Re: Coming Out On Top: Demo 4/8/12 (BXB, Comedy, Dating)
Thanks for your feedback, gekiganwing! It sounds like there is enough variety in the BXB market that my game wouldn't be too far out in left field? I guess I've had a handful of people already tell me "I don't think anybody is looking to play a game like this", so I've already felt slightl...
