Honestly, I can't even give you good recommendations for first person narratives because both it and third person narratives are common enough that neither one of them...

Re: Looking for feedback on a story idea

I'm a huge fan of your project from NaNo2020, and this summary is really intriguing, so I'll look forward to seeing more updates about this! Hopefully in the meantime I get the chance to play the rest of your games (:

Re: Thought Bubbles or something similar for Interior Monologue

I'm not really sure what the difference is between "a character thinking or speaking inside their head" and "interior monologue," to me these are the same thing and I think it would feel unnecessary or confusing to use thought bubbles. Regardless, if you're still wanting to look ...

Yes, you wouldn't be the first fan game on here (: be cautious about abiding by copyright laws but also..... we're indie VN developers and the TV shows probably won't even notice our games lmao

Re: dating sim recommendations request!

Butterfly Soup isn't a "traditional dating sim" in terms of routes or stats, but it's one that got quite popular and it includes some cool stuff like point-and-click sections, which you could look at if you do end up wanting to veer away from the typical VN. (It's also F/F so it's right u...

For anyone like me who sucks at navigating through their own computer files, it's always worked for me to drag the game folder into the same folder in Ren'Py where in-progress games are stored and then use Ren'Py to delete the persistent data. Haven't used this trick in several years, though, so I d...
