Re: Essential features for EVEN: a new visual novel engine

How's the engine going? Any update on this?

Construct2 integration is really crucial, as that will take care of essentially every other type of gameplay.

I can't wait to make a Victorian-Era beat-em-up with paragraph-long diatribes in NVL spoken with Shakespearean dialect.

RAPT build fail

Attached is the log. Doesn't matter if target is Android 2,3, or 4. This is renpy 6.17.6 I've tried downloading rapt using auto-updater twice; both times they hang during installation at "stopping ADB server." However there doesn't seem to be any problem generating the keys and configuring...

Re: Selling out (theoretical discussion only)

I would love to help out in art, programming, or music (in that order). Just don't let me write it... the story will become unrealistic, cliche, and sexist. If it's 18+ yuri I would be even more motivated. I would be willing to contribute for free, once I overcome my current creative rut. I think if...

Re: How to Work with Programmers

To me it feels like the writer probably should be doing the directing stuff, because presumably the writer has the clearest image of how the VN should be and would have something in mind. If the writer isn't doing the coding, they're probably putting in repetitive comments like "#Background sc...

Re: Alternative to VAA?

Hmmm, can't Ayu hook you up? Better have a ready team that works well together rather than scrambling people from all over the place and hoping they have the same bitrate settings.

Re: How much?

Yeah, I think you're in the right ballpark for a small-midsize game - that'd be about $7,000 roughly.

Re: When you see a visual novel, what's your first impressio

The pedigree behind it. It's hard to quantify. If it's an unknown, then the art will be the deciding factor. If it's the writer, then any art will suffice. A Scar of the Doll was written by the writer of Folklore, a PS3 JRPG by now defunct Game Republic. It basically looks like an amateur game with ...

Re: What art direction do people prefer?

duplicating the layer, increasing the contrast, blurring it and setting the new layer to be partially transparent, to add a horrid fake 'HDR' effect. Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking for. I have been wondering why anime screenshots look so different from cel-shaded pictures and this i...

Re: Writing casual relationship

1. If I address this, will people have problems with it? I want to portray the girl initiating the relationship first, as I believe women can be as sexually active as men. Thoroughly welcomed, by me at least. Please, help in sharing the burden of "searching costs" -- investing energy in t...

Re: Completed games increasing?

Welcome to the growing community. Once upon a time (in a galaxy far far away), the Creator himself would download and play every single game made with his engine. Obviously, that's not possible now. As time went on, and new genres became popular which the Creator did not anticipate -- such as yaoi -...

Re: Visual novel or webcomic?

A work, especially one by a single writer with a strong author's voice, will always reveal the prejudices of that person. Of course it's easier for that person to be given a pass if they're on the side that is currently politically correct. (e.g. hypothetically a black homosexual woman writing a sto...

Re: Visual novel or webcomic?

I don't really think you should be combining a political agenda with making money.

If you're registered on a sales channel, the app store will disclose your identity.

As for VN vs comic, ask your artist first.

Re: Screen Resolutions for a VN

Even with rescaling, HD VNs take their toll on my laptop, causing it to overhead and force a shutdown. Especially if the background images are 1mb or more.
