I'd like to know where you got the impression that this novel doesn't address the emotional/psychological damage? If I implied that by accident, that's not what I meant. :P (My story was about the emotional/psychological damage from an outsider's perspective - a girl who loved a pornography addict,...

I think I'm most drawn to writing stuff in the philosophical/religious category, simply because I find that the ideas discussed in that category lie beneath the ideas in the other categories. I often feel that stories with the themes you mentioned in the "life themes" category are not as i...

Just wanted to say that I find this premise interesting, albeit incredibly depressing. I once endeavoured to write a story about this too, although I explored it differently (female perspective with more of a focus on the emotional/psychological damage). In the end, I had to quit writing it because ...

First off, good color choices. The palette is limited and the green dress goes nicely with the skin tone and black hair. You also seem to have a decent grasp on facial structure. The eyes seem to be in the right place, although from what I can see right now, the angle of her nose is not going to mat...

Thanks for the hugs, Susan and xavimat. :) I've been working on this project on-and-off - mostly finalising character designs and drafting character stories. My baseline for the sprites is one pose per girl with minimal variations. After I have the important spites created, I'll try to turn my atten...

This is just for aesthetic purposes, right? If you found a font in which all characters appeared as *, and you could somehow set that font as your default for text input, that would be an easy way...

Oh, goody! This topic is relevant to my interests. I would say that a good story makes you care about the characters by developing them as characters. A tragic back story or event needs to have a purpose for being there and not just be "sad" for the sake of being "sad". This is a...

I would imagine it is those developers whose VNs contain homosexual content, or loli subject matter . Some people just tend to lose their ever-loving minds over that stuff. Hm, this might get interesting... Papillon's article on Kotaku had some rather nasty comments on "perverted old men"...

Seriously? Is there some kind of trend as to who is targeted (i.e., subject matter of VN) or is it just anybody who is relatively well-known in the scene?

Do any of you have songs you often associate with another VN or character, or your own writing projects (in general, not just VN projects)? Yes, I'm always noticing "connections" like this when I'm listening to the radio. :) "This song describes the relationship between my two charac...

We had an interesting discussion pertaining to this a few months ago. Some good advice and suggestions there; maybe you'll find something relevant to your situation. One thing I'd like to mention that I didn't in that topic was a sentiment that Samu-kun shared here once... 3. Loss of momentum. The p...

Well... I feel like the competition/prize aspect was the main thing that motivated me to churn something out and present it for public reading despite my perfectionist tendencies. I mean, I still enjoy the challenge of creating something for a prompt, but I'm not entirely sure that I would be as mot...

Since I started working on this project, there appears more and more sci-fi WIPs here, but as everyone seems to agree that there are still not enough, I'm glad to present my own space-themed VN - "Among the distant stars". Of course! We can never have enough sci-fi :) Some first impressio...

When you really connect with someone, everything just comes naturally - a lot of that 'societal tension' falls off. Oooh... I love that feeling. Doesn't happen often, but when it does... It's not that I'm secretly a jerk inside, I just default to 'niceness' around people I don't know yet, because t...

Seconded! More sci-fi is always good.
