Re: Looking for a general term to replace "daemon"?

I can highly recommend this book, which is an encyclopedia of various ghosts and legends, as somewhere to start: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6411 ... -hauntings

Re: "Create Imaginative Games" Coursera MOOC by CalArts

What are the mentors like to work with? Do they use one general catch-all learning style, or adapt based around how much you already know or don't know?

Re: I want to built my dream Visual Novel but HOW !?

Another recommendation I have: Save up a budget, up to at least $1200, maybe a little more than that. Good artists/musicians/programmers/etc, cost a lot of money. As a wise DC movie character once said:
If you're good at something, never do it for free.

Re: Uneven character endings

That depends on what your definition of a "good-ness ending" for a character is. Is it getting what they want or need or deserve? Is it discovering they actually needed or wanted something else entirely? Is it finding true love and happiness, or learning how to survive with the odds life d...

Re: What is importan in a character?

Name and personality. Everything else will naturally fall into place.

@MomoiroGirl *hugs* Depression and anxiety can and do spike during stress or stressful transitions in life. And yes, moving IS a stressful transition. You will get through this because you are strong, and you will find people who will support you and help you through this. Quite a few people on this...

Re: Legalities with Publishing Free VNs on Steam

Barzini has worked in the publishing business, has had his studio legally registered, and has had a few games released for quite some time now. I know firecat has been banned, but I just thought I should say this, so anyone who's reading the topic knows that Barzini knows what he's talking about and...

Re: Top examples of Kinectic vn?

Higurashi . It keeps you invested in the characters and story, and actively challenges you to try to solve the mysteries laid out in front of you. It gets off to a bit of a slow start, but once you get into the main hook of the story, the ride is worth it. The original art style is a bit hit-or-mis...

Re: Marketing a VN for Crowdfunding

I think it's because Deiji and KittyKatStar was also running a kickstarter as you were, Mokkacino Caramel. When you host your kickstarter, make sure not to do it when another evn kickstarter is taking place, especially a popular one. One kickstarter tends to overshadow and take away all your invest...

Re: Changes to Writing due to NVL

I think that particular piece of TV Tropes advice is a bit flawed. In general, take caution when taking writing advice from TV Tropes--tropes are tools and building blocks, not absolutes. The original author of that comment may have been thinking about VN's along the lines of Higurashi, where the ch...

Re: Colette and Becca [SweetsJam, KN, Friendship, Crime]

Technically, it's done, but what's needed now is a few assets, and some technical details adjusted, and then hopefully it should be done! Right now, my internet access is limited, so it may be a while yet.
