I like the understated "he's dead" description for Rodrigo. That sort of flippant humour is among my favourite. I often write nonsense stories of this nature for my own amusement as a relaxation exercise—it'll be interesting to see one as a VN. Thanks, Tempus. Yeah, when I started this pr...

I was on the fence about joining while still in the middle of another project... but then I got a solid chunk of writing done last night/morning from midnight to 4...

So it looks like I'm in!

I'd like to see strong MCs. Especially in the GxB field, the girls are usually pathetic and make me want to gag from their lack of general personality. ;) Haha. Where are the MCs who threaten their love interests? The ones who are different - outgoing to mask their true insecurities. Stuff like tha...

@Caveat Lector & Mad Harlequin: Again, I can't speak for the OP, but I think the key word is "overuse." Swears are great. Good Scorsese-style profanity is, like, the best type of writing. But you know how sometimes profanity just feels forced? Maybe it doesn't fit the character or mayb...

Hi, Dialogues are supposed to be realistic , not real . To give impression of real speech, not transcripts of real talk. I am not a teacher and I am an unpublished author of insignificant relevance, but I completely agree with the OP. This approach to dialogue is common advice, but it's common beca...

Ha ha, this looks funny! Good luck to you! Thanks, qirien! I thought your avatar looked familiar, but it took me a second to place it... As I mentioned on the other thread, Our Personal Space is definitely one of the more fun games I've found on these boards so far. There's something incredibly cha...

Fun fact: If you live in the US or UK, Sherlock Holmes is public domain. So actually yes, if you do ever feel like making a Jorge Borge-esque VN where you claim Sherlock Holmes is your own invention and you've never heard of that Arthur Conan Doyle guy, you totally could.* *(I think. Please don't ta...

Hi, welcome to the board. I clicked on your topic moderately interested, thinking it might be a typical romantic comedy. But then I saw the llama. That's awesome! He still likes Mari but he misses his human hands. That's a great character description for a llama. It's funny and sad and kind of roman...

Machiavelli recommends that you spread good things out a little bit at a time over long periods, but take care of bad things all at once.

He was talking about running a dictatorship... but I think you can apply it to other things in life, too.

Oh man, I used to do variations on this type of puzzle all the time when I was younger in puzzle books. This is fun. It knows what it wants to be and doesn't add any bells and whistles. I enjoyed being able to just pick it up and play through a few puzzles. Looks like you've got an impressively deep...

Hey, just wanted to say this preview looks cool! I am always a fan of more cartoonish games and art styles, so yes, this is something I'd play. GUI probably is less important for a short first VN, unless you want to practice GUI for more ambitious projects. Personally, GUI is at the bottom of things...

I downloaded this figuring I'd try something outside my comfort zone and was pleasantly surprised! Relationship sims don't have a huge appeal for me on their own, but you added a lot of stuff that a "crossover" audience like me can enjoy. The biggest strength was the ensemble of characters...

While not all strictly VNs, I think you could actually make the case that puzzle/quest games are MORE popular in the West than romance titles... off the top of my head, Phoenix Wright, Professor Layton, 999, Hotel Dusk, several Telltale Studios games, Tim Schafer's point-and-click games (and really ...
