Re: Proper use of the {w} tag in visual novels.
I do personally use the {w} tag a lot: between sentences (after the period), and in rare occasions, with a delay in the middle of a sentence to emphasise a certain rhythm. Is it… that bad? Both as a reader and as a writer, I really enjoy when the rhythm of speaking seems natural. Most people read s...

Re: Historical VNS and disclaimers?
Ah, I don't have much to add to what everyone said, but I'd absolutely love to read a VN about Moroccan history and colonialism!<3 VNs with historical settings are still kind of rare, but they're really worth it! (French person here, btw!) I don't have much advice to offer, except maybe don't afraid...

Re: itch.io changed its ToS
No worries at all! And sorry if I was too abrupt myself, I completely understand where you're coming from; it's absolutely necessary to care about publisher relationships and legal terms in general.

Re: itch.io changed its ToS
I did search for existing discussions on the subject and didn't find anything - where did you see that? Sorry, I wasn't clear at all! I haven't seen other discussions on this exact topic. I meant that the founder has been talking with devs about other aspects from their ToS —more specifically, the ...

Re: itch.io silently changed its ToS
Hmmm, this is not a reply on the heart of the matter, and I may be mistaken, but I don't think that this has been concealed or “silently” rewritten at all? You should have received two emails about ToS changes in May! Both are related to the introduction of the GDPR in the EU. There's an email entit...

Re: [Epistolary][Mystery] Sylvan Disappearance
It's been one full month again… How is this even possible!? Anyway, here's another update: As you can see, I failed to release by April 26. Lesson learnt, I'll refrain from imposing myself impossible-to-meet deadlines. The release is closer than ever though! The editing process is now over, I've ent...

Re: How and how often do you back up projects
Thanks for this, I might give this a go. Hmm, I now have lots of questions about this software. I expect I'll need to do a bit of Googling. It can... definitely be tricky to learn. Even among regular users, it's common not to know all of the features of git, because it's such a vast collection of t...

Re: How and how often do you back up projects
i use a dedicated version control software! (Like almost everyone, I use git.) It doesn't seem very common among writers to use this kind of solution, and it's definitely not very accessible if you're not used to it at first… but it really makes VN development and writing safer. As long as I remembe...

Re: Fictional Real-World Locations
Not sure if that's something that would work for you, but a midway solution I enjoy is relying extensively on real-life locations but making the fictional setting purposefully vague and undetermined. There are a lot of perks in using real geography, but if you don't intend to make your story extreme...

Re: [Epistolary][Mystery] Sylvan Disappearance
I love the idea of a VN using the epistolary style. It's one of my favorites writing styles for books as well. Also, the art is absolutely lovely, both the sprites and the backgrounds. Thanks a lot, Zelan, this means much! Yeah, I'm convinced the epistolary style is very well-suited for interactive...

Re: [Epistolary][Mystery] Sylvan Disappearance
I've been meaning to give news for a while, but I haven't had the time! Over the past few weeks, I've been doing scripting (as always), but mostly, I've finished working on the UI and on the epistolary screen, which is at the core of the story! If you'd like to find out more about this epistolary co...

Re: More is Less - Is that always true?
Yes, agreeing with the point above, streamers who are in for the shock value shouldn't limit you. They're a very specific type of players with a very limited relationship to games, but there are plenty of other readers who will appreciate your efforts in writing, imagination, and so on. If anything,...
