Re: What was the first visual novel you played?

"Kanon" was among the first VNs I've played because I liked the anime (Nayuki's freakin' cute!). That was like... over 10 years ago? Wow. Then there's "Natsuiro no Sunadokei" (aka Hourglass of Summer), played it around the same time as "Kanon" - the premise was touching...

Re: Why are you making your current visual novel?

Because I like my OCs. This as well, though, it's more like "love." It's just so satisfying creating OCs and giving them a world to interact in. And with the current set of characters I'm using now, I've been refining them for a very, very long time, using them in various projects along t...

Re: Samantha Chan: Voice Actress [Available for Work]

I'd like to recommend Samantha! She voiced Julia in my Café Memoria project, and did a wonderful job in capturing her personality. An absolute gem to work with, you can tell she really loves voice acting in her work. When the time comes, I hope to cast her as Julia again in CM's sequel, Café Memoria...

Re: Ways to keep people motivated through the long haul

The punishment for moving forward with an unhappy party can be pretty severe, too. An unhappy employer might never work with a freelancer again, possibly terminating the contract early. An unhappy freelancer might deliver shoddy results that barely meet the definitions in the contract. I'd like to ...

Re: Ways to keep people motivated through the long haul

Well, communication is pretty important in managing / motivating a team, as it can be an indicator if you or others are taking a project seriously. Yeah, sure, giving some incentive like payment can be a factor, but in the end communication plays a big role. Also, a lack of progress (given a reasona...

Re: Get that thing off your chest... Now...

So, today at work: (walking, approaching supervisor) Me: Hey, good morning! Her: (snaps irritably at me) Hey! ...really, you don't want to have a good morning? I didn't say that to her, but still. That almost ruined my day, but thankfully I have a whole lot of other co-workers who made the day more ...

Hm, did you receive my email with my inquiry? I sent it a few days ago.

Re: Cafe Memoria Deux - Need Sprite Artist

Hi there! This seems like an interesting project. Do you have a deadline in mind for the project to be finished? (Or the expected time frame for each sprite to be done) I don't exactly have a time frame of the project to be finished. But as for each sprite to be done, maybe within two weeks at most...

Re: Bitter Truth [Romance] Demo! Kickstarter!! Steam!!!

I just finished playing the demo and I really enjoyed it. This game made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, considering I'm playing this on a cold winter day. :) William is probably my favorite character, because it's likely he's harboring feelings for Emilia, and has feelings of jealousy. The fact ...

Re: Cafe Memoria [BxG][Comedy][Slice of Life][Waitress][Free

First of all, the overall atmosphere for the game is just adorable and absolutely knits everything together perfectly; the voice-acting, music, art, game play, all was great. It's lovely to finally get a taste of what all the other characters sounded like, and they all did a wonderful job. Glad you...
