Re: Rating System for VN's?

While it's true that rating always have these bad sides... some system like http://vndb.org would be helpful (with tag etc., and they try to make a difference between popularity and rating) Actually there isn't really any good way to search through all the OELVN made, yeah, and it's something that l...

Re: Visual Novel Writing Contest (planning thread)

Just a little warning for the 3 if I may : it will fore sure make a difference between those who used the tracks and those who didn't use : the music and the writing aren't separated things, making a writing with a soundtrack is melting the two (for instance, music carries the mood, the ambience, so...

Re: Any Free Forums You Could Recommend?

Re: Easy way to put a rating on a VN?

While it's true that it's badly handled in a lot of VN, that doesn't mean wakagana have to avoid it. I'd say, avoiding that kind of scene while it would be more natural to have them, is nearly as bad as putting them while it was not required (like a lot of eroge do because the market they target wan...

Re: Game Sizes, how big or small do you have your Game?

The use of JPG/JCC actually allow transparency while having smaller file size. As for the subject, I really prefer when it's wider than 800x600, even with my very cheap laptop I never met any freez with big sizes Ren'py games, it stranges that just having pictures slighty bigger can change that much...

Re: Terminal Love [Flash VN] [Aromantic]

This loading issue is indeed really problematic, I finally made a macro-script to type the thing, otherwise I'd have given up ahah. Though comparing the different save codes I got, I start to understand why it's that long and how it's made - I even loaded a state I didn't reached myself tweaking the...

Re: Does a free VN count as personal use?

Just trying to make the expression clear. Around here "personal use" is a term used everything you take only for private use, like buying a movie or a music CD and listening it alone/with friends - for instance here you couldn't make a public diffusion of the movie in some kind of festival...

Re: Must a VN have music?

Yeah, but you have a lot of chance to loose a part of your readers if music feels like lacking (for them, not for you, I guess you make this VN so people other than you can read it). So be careful with your choice. (If it's only because you don't want to bother about finding a composer, free-to-use ...

Re: Must a VN have music?

Hmm, it's possible to have a VN without music, but I'd say most of the time something would be "lacking" during the read. Music carries the feel, the mood, the story, it's a plus and not a minus (unless it is really bad or not suited). Would you play a VN without art for instance ? It's si...

Re: Foreign Languages

Native-French. Almost everybody around here have a really low level in English, and it's hard to have good English lessons seriously, even my "normal" level is enough to be in the top all the year even in the third year of a 5-year degree. But out there on the internet or in business, even...

Re: Terminal Love [Flash VN] [Aromantic]

Just playing right now, the writing really is entertaining, and it's fun to see math/code related stuff like Bubble sort algorithm (since I'm in that kind of studies myself). To be honnest I really though we were allowed to code inside the game for real when I saw the option on the list ahah, but we...

Re: Legal details and theft? :( (help, please)

Well it'll be a bit off-topic but wathever. Nowadays you don't need to know how to code to make a decent simple website, you can use a CMS for that like Joomla or Wordpress (which is more know for the blog thing, but still is a good a simple - and popular - website-making tool). Some studios like Sa...
