Re: Writing idealized characters / Writing as wish-fulfillment?

I don't really write the characters to be extensions of myself, but they are certainly influenced by personal experiences and beliefs. It's difficult to write something when you don't have a basis for it in real life.

Re: Ren'Py 6.3.2 Pre-released

Upgraded for Noctua and ran through my story fine without any difficulties. It was a bit faster and smoother with this release.

Thank you.

Re: Noctua - Ephemeral Whispers - [Demo Available]

Sorry about the lack of updates on Crows Project. Our artist has been fairly busy this summer and hasn't gotten a chance to work on the art which is the main thing that's left to do on this project. Scripting and programming are all done, though I might go back and do some editing in of sound effect...

Re: Noctua - Ephemeral Whispers - [Demo Available]

Updating the progress on this project. I've been focusing mainly on revisions and have recently added some background sound effects in various places such as the scene near a river. Again, these are things that aren't very screenshot conducive. >_< I'm considering a second demo release with these ba...

Re: How productive are you?

It usually depends on how much free time I have. Noctua's actual script took a whole semester to finish. On the other hand, I've found that having too much free time like now during the summer can lead to not really having any motivation to do much work on my projects.

Re: A game with a message...?

I would lean towards using "themes" rather than direct "morals" in the story. You can have a message but it doesn't have to be a moral lesson on how to live your life. And there doesn't just have to be one message. You have a lot of different characters and a reasonably long plot...

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but it's a treasure trove of sound effects.

Hey, uh... I just tried the demo (it's been staying in my download folder for some time) and I have to say I liked it ^_^. Has there been progress since? Well, I've been working on revisions and minor stuff that's not particularly conducive to screenshot/new demos. Kuri is working on character desi...

The practical reason is that the costs, both real and time used up, of trying to make it a marketable product far outweigh any potential profit. I wouldn't even know where to begin selling or even if there are people who would be willing to buy it. The less tangible reason is frankly, I'd like to ge...

Many thanks for your support. I can see where you see Kyon in Ereyan's character. It's probably because Noctua and TMOSH have the general theme of "living in a world where our childhood fantasies are lost." Crows is coming. We're waiting on some art to come in and then if final testing goe...
