Re: Legal age for characters

Most of the issues tend to stem not necessarily the character's ages themselves, but the concepts that might spawn from it. It's partially a matter of integrity since depictions of (graphic) sex is often a slippery slope for porn and a question of content merit. Depicting minors in sexual acts is a ...

Re: Difficult Subjects in VNs

Obviously, you can write whatever you want. That said, I would be more inclined to read a VN that dealt with the topic as part of a larger story, then to make that a story in itself. I would be suspicious of a story that solely focused around a certain difficult issue as either trying to use it to ...

Re: Difficult Subjects in VNs

Personally I find VNs that include these heavier topics can be more engaging and often times I find that usually when a topic is poorly explored it is because it does one or more of the following: -Presenting the issues in a black and white manner, if someone is an abuser they are the belt-buckle be...

Re: Would you say a visual novel 'needs' pictures of charact

It probably depends on story but a lack of sprites can serve an interesting purpose. Bear in mind that you don't necessarily need sprites all the time, they can be very basic ones and sometimes very stylized and selective use of sprites can give a VN it's own flavor or even atmosphere. If you can su...

Re: Tell a Demon (Asher City Series) [Urban Fantasy][Vampire

@ blankd - Thank you! I'll be sure to update with more information on the characters when I decide what to put here about them. :) As for vampires, Asher had vampires, too, although they are called demons in both stories. There's no sparkly immortal dead nor some eternal love thing going on here. V...

Re: Tell a Demon (Asher City Series) [Urban Fantasy][Vampire

This looks extremely nice and with a medium that isn't seen too often! The bit about Vampires seems like it could go either way since there is a much more range of what they are and there isn't much about the characters to go off of but the visuals are certainly make this worth paying attention to. ...

Re: Chibi-fying backgrounds for chibi sprites

I think the first style would work the best; it's simplified enough and would be be able to fit into deformed backgrounds... But I really like the style used in Princess Maker 4, so I would like to try combining some of those features with what I can draw already. What do you think? I'm not sure wh...

Re: Chibi-fying backgrounds for chibi sprites

I recommend really examining the backgrounds of "4 koma" esque OVAs or series to get ideas, but overall they seem to consist of simplifying the color palette (no shadows, a watercolor look, pastels, etc.) and reducing detail. Some even go so far as to make the BGs look more like dioramas o...

Re: Toon Game [BxB] [18+]

I didn't know you could toggle the censorship! Thats amazing! It will definitely be helpful to me!

Hey guys! Thinking more on my story, how do you guys feel about censorship? Would u rather have penis pixelated? not pixelated? there at all? How do you feel about humanoid penis? (not completely a human penis if even or at all) Since these are anthropormorphic toons, im trying to think of exactly ...

Re: Euphoria [the dating sim where everyone rejects you]

Ahhh, well, the stats were more of something that the users could take control of if they wanted to change how the events played out, a bit? I didn't want to make it too easy once you got stacked with charisma though, so hence why I split up the two secondary stats there in order to make sort of pa...

Well, im not fully sure if its going to be considered a "game" or just be a story with a few options here and there (if that makes sense) hahaha. Im not sure if no matter what, you will always end up with the same ending while still be able to pick out certain things the characters do and...
