Re: Most Difficult Thing About Visual Novels

Hmm, while finding time is extremely difficult, I think trying to write unique paths for different characters has proven to be difficult. I have two characters whose voices are very strong in my head and easy to write, and two others... well, I'm trying to avoid stereotypes with this one shy girl, a...

Re: Proper Love Interest Balance in a Dating Game?

1. How many romances is too many? How many bog it down? I wanted to make the Dark Prophet one you have to unlock but if I slip in a few more viewpoints/LIs will it seem confused and muddled to have like 6 people looking you in the eye like 'senpai pls choose this kohai this time'. I'm not an expert...

Re: Word overuse

Heh, personally I Ctrl+F as well to make sure I don't see too many highlights too close together... As a rule of thumb, I would say, the more obscure the word, the less often you should use it. Saying "John is the most lackadaisical man I've ever met" and later "Why are these kids so ...

Re: Visual Novel- Third Person or First Person with POV Chan

Couldn't you just do third person omniscient? Is there a particular reason why you need to switch POVs? 3rd person omniscient is an all inclusive thing, but it's not often used unless there isn't a main character in your story...

Re: How to Add Depth to Character

There are literally so many character development guides, outlines and tips. Scour the internet until you find one character development sheet that you like. Even if it's just answering questions like their favourite colour, it'll help you to start thinking in their head. If you're starting at the b...

Re: Level of logic/realism in a VN

Hmm, well logic and realism are two very different things in my mind. Everything has to be logical, and illogical things must either be addressed or explained (it was a dream; it was magic; it was a miracle—is there a point to why something is illogical? If it doesn't make a difference, why not just...

Re: Guestbook

Hey guys, This is a joint account for two friends as they create their first visual novel! :) We live in Canada's capital. Celeste is in charge of artwork (and keeping me sane) and I (Natasha) handle writing and programming. We'll probably make a Tumblr for our game once we've got enough progress on...
