I was wondering does it negatively impact your experience if you see a picture of the main character? For example, the dating sim game I am working on places you in the eyes of the main character. So you go through the game experiencing everything through his eyes. If you never see a picture of the ...

To get back on topic a bit :) I just played the demo and while short it definitely peaked my curiousity. From an artist's perspective, the character art is top-notch. I agree with what has been said here that the background art appears a little subpar due to the detailed character art. Having said t...

I quickly read through this topic so I may have misunderstood the general gist of what is being discussed, but I have a question regarding comments earlier about moving away from epic titles. Have you ever considered that the creation of an epic game may be the only driving factor for some people? T...

Personally I think the key to completing an "epic" game is both dedication and organization. DrakeNavarone made alot of good points in his post that I was going to say. Firstly the belief that writing can always be fun is false for every writer that I have always met. Gamemaking I believe ...

Since I believe some of the strongest works stem from well-developed characters, I like to first develop the main characters. Hash out their personalities and determine where the story will begin. Once I have the characters and a starting point, I immerse myself into the character's persona and let ...

Nice artwork! EDIT: The reason why the waitress looks off is because her breasts cover the strap on (your) left side, and not on (your) right. So they look a little off center, since she isn't leaning one way or another, but looking straight on. **Soz, forgot that the first time around** Actually h...

Hrmm, I am actually kind of a perfectionist and go way overboard with my drawings sometimes. Like adding details that when you zoom out you cannot even see. But I cannot see what you guys are talking about with the waitress picture. The bodice is a little tight, I could probably ruffle up the edges ...

I agree that in general dating sims tend to be a little more generic on story, but that is due to the magnitude of the project. To me it is much more challenging to write this multi-branching, multi-story type of game. Part of the problem in current dating sims may stem from the fact that they are t...

I sketch using a tablet on the computer. The thought of using a digital pencil to draw things directly into the computer has made some people's heads explode: "You mean you can make a sketch with a pen right into the computer?!" The inking was done with Macromedia Flash MX. I also used la...

Wow, thanks again for all the feedback. In response to ShiraiJunichi I would say that part of my purpose to include nudity in the first place would be to arouse. But another purpose was to give the player a sense of completeness as I am always frustrated when scenes fade out and then fade in later. ...

Thanks for all the replies! I understand what you say Blue Lemma, thats it my game, but I would still like for others to play and enjoy the work I have put into the game. So everyones opinion is important to me. I also understand the artwork needs to be better in these situations, but that is my str...

Well how about Mosaics? Do you guys feel adding mosaics like they do in Japanese Bishoujo games creates a more tasteful adult scene? Or just leave it uncensored?

Hello, I am fairly new to posting here, but have been lurking for awhile while I tried to learn enough code to create my own game. As I trudge through this project I have a couple questions. 1. As a game player do you get bored with a storyline that has only one female in it? For example my story is...

I can give Ren'Py a try then and see what comes of it. I will start with something a little less to begin then and see if Ren'Py and work. Maybe just a short battle sequence. I will let you know when I have something you can look at. Probably 2-3 weeks. Thanks for all the suggestions. The problem I ...

So I was wondering if anyone here has used RPG Maker XP, or Verge. Also on the same note can RenPy do more than visual novels? I am looking for a RPG engine along the lines of a Final Fantasy base. With a similar battle and inventory system. Key features would be saving/loading, customisable stats, ...
