Re: Ren'Py Postcard Commission

It'd be really fun to draw a Ren'Py postcard (or several). :) Here's my portfolio: https://www.lizardhazardgames.com/services For 50USD I could do something like this: https://www.lizardhazardgames.com/fullscreen-page/comp-jduihkl0/02b6e206-bda8-49b5-9a0d-7a5fd6efbdb9/3/%3Fi%3D3%26p%3Dolv8u%26s%3Dst...

Re: Average word count for a VN with mini games?

If it's a free game, then you should just make decisions based on what you think will make the game better. You don't need to worry about sales or angry customers, so it doesn't matter if the game is short. Sounds like you have a lot of interesting features and even full voice acting? Wow, that's pr...

Re: Average word count for a VN with mini games?

If you want to go commercial, people will complain if the game takes a short time to complete. If the minigames add playtime, then 7000 words sounds like it could be enough, but if it's really fast to complete the minigames you'll have a lot of angry gamers asking for refunds. I don't think games sh...

Re: How much time daily do you spend on your VN?

For me it depends on how close I am to the planned release date. I tend to procrastinate at the mid-point of the project and do like 1-5 hours daily (note that this is basically my full-time job, I have my own indie game company and don't have a lot of courses at college rn). And then when the deadl...

Re: Basic Commission Prices ?

There are no set prices, but you can calculate your prices by estimating the time it takes you to draw one sprite for example, and multiply it by the hourly "wage" you want to get from drawing. For example, I base my prices on 15€ per hour so if it takes me 3 hours to draw a sprite then th...

Re: Combining Rendered and 2D Assets?

This is just a guess, but I think people would be more accepting of 3D assets if they match the other art of the game at least to an extent. So maybe slap a "hand drawn" filter on top of the 3D spaceships or something :') Also, 3D backgrounds are way easier to accept than 3D character mode...

Re: What turns you off from NSFW content in VNs?

The notorious example being Fate/Stay Night where Saber and Rin are super awesome and amazing and that little turd Shirou does not deserve to even be in the same room as them... Shirou is an amazing character. If you cut out all the slice of life stuff, he's the best VN character evar. I hope you'r...

Re: BARA JAM 2018

I'm really glad this exists! If anyone needs an artist in their team feel free to hit me up --I probably won't have time to do a huge amount of work because I'm already tied up in another project for the rest of the year but if someone just needs a couple of sprites I can do that for free just for t...

Re: What turns you off from NSFW content in VNs?

One reason a person might not enjoy NSFW stuff is asexuality. I'm grey ace myself and I read smut from time to time but a lot of asexuals are sex-repulsed and want nothing to do with it. I wasn't interested in that stuff during my teenage years when most of my peers were reading fanfics with adult c...

Re: Benefits of Visual Novels?

I make both comics and visual novels (though mine are usually visual novel hybrids with management elements or something) and I think different stories suit different mediums - or rather, the presentation affects how the customer experiences the story. I'm currently releasing a DnD webcomic called D...

Easy way to give characters different nameboxes

Hey all, I was struggling because my artist wanted me to give each character a different namebox and I couldn't find a tutorial that worked for me (most of them were using the old UI/ styles code). After a bit of googling and creative thinking, I present to you: A foolproof way to give characters di...

Re: How to keep artists committed?

If you don't mind me asking, what do you think is affordable? I think that means different things for different people - for someone it could be 10USD and for some 100USD. Because when I think of really professional, successful artists in the industry, they could probably charge 300-500 for a sprite...
