My suggestion is that if you have a good example of a VN: showcase it at a Convention. I know four VN devs including myself who are doing that this year in the US, but that isn't enough. We need to talk to more people about what VNs are to build the fan base. Make that five. In the past few months,...

If you missed LudoNarraCon this past weekend, it's worth checking out the archived Panel discussions hosted on youtube! Speakers from tons of the top selling narrative-based games on Steam come together to discuss story-based games!

Watch the LudoNarraCon panels here!

There is a GDC talk about this: https://youtu.be/gB8CvsOjDvg I watched this like, six months ago, and I really should have rewatched it a month before the con. I'll take these to heart for next time (throat lozenges would have been a godsend). Just an update on the first con: it went AMAZING. I had...

This is probably the attitude I will try to adopt - this feels pretty right.

That's how I felt about YOUR game

I'm starting to hit up the convention circuit with my game demo - I'll showing my game at a local comic convention in a few days, and showing it at a game convention a month from now. I have a demo station setup (both conventions I have close access to electric outlets), and some pin buttons to give...

No one's responded to this yet, so I'll chime in: Honestly, if it's not something you're interested and/or passionate about, don't even worry about doing it. If saving money is your primary concern, there are plenty of art resources online where you can get access to cheap or free art that is availa...

Huzzah! It's a patreon I feel comfortable giving to!

Haha, so sort of a lot happened. https://orig00.deviantart.net/4761/f/2019/027/7/5/kotc_screenshot1_by_vimislikart-dcy7bsi.gif First of all I HAVE A PLAYABLE DEMO! If anyone can give it a try, and comment in the Demos & Beta Testing Board , I'd really appreciate! I planned on releasing it back i...

I have a playable demo of the first section of my game! I've technically been working on this for years...

I've been using the Ren'py camera lot lately, and I realized I could use it to place and move words using "show text" around the screen with ease! I would love to utilize this to place word balloons on the screen in various locations, but whenever I use "show text", I can't use t...

I have a hidden-picture-esque minipuzzle in my visual novel, using image buttons for the various clickable elements, and then using the "_hover" and "_idle" extensions on the image names to have the images change shape while the player hovers over them (so it makes a bowl of cand...

Thank you! The real dumb part is I'm a patreon supporter and I probably already read it, and then forgot it -_-. Marking this as solved!

I know that I can move the main menu from the left side of the screen to the right by changing the variable gui.navigation_xpos from 20 to 1000-something, but what do I need to adjust to make the content from the Help, Load/History, and About screen move from the right side of the screen to the left...

Short update - Of the four different pathways in the first part of the game, the final art for 3 of them are finally COMPLETE! I was briefly sidetracked by some freelance work that plopped in my lap, but I'm back on schedule, and still likely to make my late October deadline for a demo! Currently, I...
