I was thinking, would it then resemble a sort of an engine wrapped as an app, once a project has been created/exported? Pretty much. When exported, it's basically just EVEN, the assets (images, sounds, etc...), and a few configuration and script files. The structure is very straight forward, and yo...

I am thinking about VNs for a project and HTML5 output would be essential. Here are some thoughts, keeping in mind that you have thought about it 100000 times more than I have.HTML5 content that runs anywhere lends itself to wide / viral distribution. EXEs are inherently much more controlled / limi...

I've been playing around with a few color schemes and placement on the main menu. Attached is the best looking one I've gotten so far. Not an expert by any means, so feel free to ignore what I say. I like the design a lot, but is there a particular reason why you're using pixelated font? It looks o...

It's still in Japanese, right? I wonder if they're going to translate it this time. I heard some changes in version 2 make it hard to make English patch. Yeah sounds about right. Truth be told though I feel like it isn't that hard to remember what each function is, and the keyboard shortcuts are fa...

Swipe left (or any direction you like) with five fingers -> quick minimize/hide (for when ecchi/hentai scene and your boss/mom/gf suddenly coming closer ;P ) This is an immensely useful feature. Good idea. I feel like developers should create a custom "innocent cover image" that shows imm...

Hello all. For those who aren't aware, I'm developing EVEN, a visual novel engine (info in sig below. first post kinda outdated though), and I'm in the process of incorporating programmable touch gestures into the interaction system. I've dreamt up many different scenarios, but I'm only one person a...

OH MY GOD TWO PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE IDEAS THAT I'VE PROPOSED. FUCK YEAH. Flow novel doesn't actually sound that bad, and it captures the experience of playing a VN reasonably well. I like it. Good to hear I'm not the only one who thought that way. I'm also kind of partial to the term Stage Novel, as ...

I have two problems with digital storytelling: one, it's kind of a mouthful (yeah I don't like long names). Two, it sounds more like we're describing a topic/hobby rather than a single product. "I worked on my visual novel this weekend" vs "I worked on my digital storytelling this wee...

Personally, I'm really excited abou...

You haven't shown the logical connection between the unfitness of "multimedia" as a term and the commonality of it. Why would how common it is matter? Unless you're suggesting people wouldn't know what it means, which seems like a stretch since the default media player on Windows for 10+ ...

Multimedia novel is no good. Accurate, but it doesn't roll off the tongue. And to me it sounds like the term of a foregone era where digital computerized media wasn't actually common. I don't think that sufficiently refutes the points I made back on the first page. The term "novel" pre-da...

I guess the question is - is there any reason to believe this is representative, and not experimental bias? It seems that if you explained visual novels and "touch novels" in the same way, so that they were the same thing, you'd expect people to get them in the same way, and have roughly ...

We might disagree, but there's no reason why we can't have a serious and interesting discussion. Let's keep things on topic, and try to get the most out of it. If you're not sure what you're posting contributes positively, why not wait until you have more to say? Wait was this directed at me? I tho...

I need to setup a trap for that elusive mugenjohncel, so that I may capture and interrogate him. If I carefully mention the world OELVN in a slightly negative light, it'll be like a mouse and cheese. :twisted: What about a "Digital Play"? I think before running through a list of proposed t...

I think the problem here is that this assumes the current market for devices will remain static, when all experience shows us it will not. Tablets are an important form factor today, just like netbooks and e-book readers were important form factors five years ago. It seems like a bad idea to assume...
