BGMusic: Creative Commons License V. Hiring A Music Expert

Hey everyone, just dropping by to ask a question or two about where to get my background music from for my project. I'm currently working on a VN of which will be a commercial product (likely ending up on steam) and I'm just really unsure where to get my music from. From what I understand, I could g...

Re: The role of a magus in classical - medieval wars

I think magic has a rather flexible usage in story telling. Of course you have to take out the ideas which essentially breaks the entire thing down and creates tons of plot holes like as you've mentioned, traveling back in time and revival spells. But other than that, I believe anything goes for mag...

Re: Why so many unfinished VN?

I guess it's the result of a lot of possible things: time, money, other priorities. Life is complicated I guess. X(

Re: Long Live The King! [Mystery, Horror, Romance?] [G/BxG/B

It sounds pretty interesting especially the Insanity Mode idea you are posing. (Take away auto skip IMO as well to make the punishment more worth while lol)

But yea, I always like this kind of mystery/detective games so I think it's going to be fun if you can pull it off. Good luck! :D

Re: Astral Project [Medieval Fantasy]

The artwork is great. Overall, if you can pull a good story through with the art you're currently featuring, I think this project has quite a bit of potential. How do you feel about the protagonist, is the character someone you would enjoy playing as? If not, why not, or what would you prefer? The m...

Re: Point of View in VNs/Dating Sims

Personally, I use a combination of the third and first person point of views in my project. The reason for this is because I'm trying to convey a different message to the reader from different viewpoints. For the third person point of view, I use it more to describe the scene itself and also any gen...

Re: The VN or The KN?

I like reading both KNs and VNs. Although KNs are somewhat akin to reading novels, the extras you get like the visuals and music does add to a more wholesome experience. It builds the atmosphere around the scene much better as compared to a novel in which you could do that as well, but it requires m...

Re: Japanese voice actors / Seiyus

If I were to add voice acting in my project (If I could afford it that is), I'd definitely try to get Japanese voice actors for it as well. It just sounds more natural, I don't know, but I'm in agreement with you on this. It's probably just a personal preference though. X( The big hurdle of course i...

Re: Why Game Publishers Aren't Interested In Your Game Idea

Yea, I second that notion of execution over idea. Execution to me forms the bulk of any if not every project but what tips it over the top from being an average project into a good or spectacular one to me looks like the idea put into the project. I guess you can say I look at the idea as more of a ...

Re: People Interested in creating KNs?

Hi everyone, new member here posting for the first time so if I get any of the terminology wrong, I'm really sorry. X) That said, for my first project, I believe I'm creating more of a KN rather than a VN seeing as my story only has one route to it despite having a few different endings in the very ...
