I think you have a market for sure. Though instead of Patreon, maybe sell pre-made packs on ich.io instead. I see RPG packs sold over there from time to time. Chances are someone will want a pack but not be willing to stay on a patreon long term. That way you don't have to worry about people subscri...

WE ARE BACK! Took a little hiatus to get things figured out, but I think we're in a good place again. All the art is done, music has been commissioned and should be with us a couple weeks. And most exciting, we found another writer to help toss this script out. May 2017 is our new tentative release ...

Writer has been found. Thanks guys!

Okay gang, here is where we stand. I am looking for a writer for our game Ephemeral. I lost our main writer for the game. Most of the other assets are done, all the art and the music is being worked on. https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=36417 I know our game thread isn't sup...

I won't play VN games where the MC is a blank slate. I see this genre as very character driven and if only that guy/gal whose path I'm on has any any personality I loose interest really quick. I need interactions not just responding to what they are saying or doing. But that's just me.

Here's the thing. Instead of making 1 game with 100s of characters. Make 4 or 5 games set in the same universe using 20 characters. Think the Marvel or DC universe, they have 1000s of characters but you only see a couple at a time so not to overwhelm readers. Players are only able to remember so muc...

If you do a fangame, you're much more likely to get away with it if it's not for sale. And it should all be original; ignoring the copyright issues, no one is going to buy a game that's just a screenshots of an anime. That's going to look way cheap. =/ "Fan" anything is a slippery slop as ...

Might want to move this to the anime, games and more board if we're talking about death note and other. =/

The megaman NT series did that as well. I'm not sure how I feel about it being using in a VN setting though, it might get annoying after a while since your "gameplay" per say is reading dialogue. =/

My team uses google drive for the most part. If you are planning on sharing large data files you may want to looking into some sort of cloud storage or sharing service. And I briefly looked into the skype thing. Doesn't seem to be real. Your files would be fine. It's the same freak out people have o...

Seems like a fun idea, but not something I would put money into. I hate agreeing with firecat, but using a free service like Twitch would probably get you more hits. Sorry mate. Best of luck though.

You should be up front about the percentage and what charity you are donating to. One of our game features a character with Leukemia so we are thinking about donating a percentage to a charity that works with Children's cancers. We were planning to do a time crunch donation. So we donate 50% of sale...

Disclaimer: I personally don't recommend using revenue share, unless it is someone you trust quite a bit such as a partner in your company. Most people use it because they can't afford to pay for art/music/ect. It's not professional. -gets off soapbox- All numbers will be based on $100 in company. W...

Biggest thing that I've found helps me, is just playing the types of games I want to make. You want to make an indie RPG, go play a lot of other indie RPGs. Play them and pay close attention to them, note what works and what doesn't. Like many others have said there are too many "types" of...

Have you ever had difficulties enforcing contracts? I hire work per-order so the terms tend to be super simple. Long term work arrangements, though, I have no experience with. Well, with the nature of the internet, there is always a chance someone could just up and vanish, leaving you with no way t...
