Hmm, concrete points. Well, choices that do minor things like change a single line of text, choices that do major things like splitting the story's path, changes in story path that happen both immediately after the choice and further down the line, divergent paths in wording or plot based on points,...

I think everyone is just hoping that someone else will step up and take charge of it. I'd do it but I've never finished a single VN so I don't think it'd be a good idea for me to be in charge. Still, someone should decide something. Okay, I personally think we should focus on getting out a really si...

I'm around professional programmers all the time and I haven't heard that either. Maybe it has to do with where you live?

That's great! This page is going to be super useful!

What motivates you to make a VN? I make games I want to play so I'm motivated to finish so I can play it. I also like to show it to other people and have them tell me how awesome I am. How do you keep going until the end? Stubborness, mostly. I hate saying that I put a lot of work into something on...

This is really awesome as is, but by any chance do you think there could be a way to compare specific elements between games? For example, if I wanted to compare how someone did a save screen or only look at dialogue boxes.

@Auro-Cyanide: Ah, it was calling it a discussion that set this off. I was wondering how my comment provoked such a strong reaction. Really the only point I was making is that is was going to be more interesting than yet another thread about which style will sell better. In those threads no one real...

Things don't have to be useful to be interesting and I think there are already some useful things being said when people explain why they do and don't like certain styles. It's not straightforward information but it doesn't really have to be. The type of discussion you're trying to spark would be in...

Hmm, a thread about preference and not about what style is best. This should be a much more interesting conversation. I like and appreciate all sorts of styles but favorites are a different thing altogether. For the actual drawing I prefer stuff that is appealing and has a high technical skill. So t...

Casseroles and crock pot meals are super easy. You just dump everything into a pot and cook them.

This would be so cool! Finding GUI references is really hard, it'd be nice if I could just scroll through a site. I prefer you didn't use tumblr, I have the hardest time navigating it and I like comments. Sometimes they're the most informative part.

If you feel comfortable with other styles showing a range of styles both in the basic structure and coloring it's a good idea to show what you can do. But don't post those styles if you don't feel comfortable doing them over the course of an entire game. It's okay to keep your portfolio pieces in th...

It sounds like you're putting more work in the conceptualizing side of things than you should and it's using up all the creative energy. When you're just messing around with ideas you don't have to do full sketches, you could do thumbnails or make a base and sketch on top of that so you're not redra...

This is the nicest school I've ever seen. Every bit of it is fantastic!

I think the shading and highlight is going to be the best way to approach this. Lines can be a crutch.
