Lemma Soft Forums

Eh... I'm sorry if its a stupid title but, eh.

I'm a fan of Ren'ai games. I have wanted to make one, or at least try since I first ran across them two or three years ago. It was suggested that I come here and ask for advice by my friend "Chaoticatomicbomb".

I'd like to know what you guys suggest to use, and for any help that could be offered.

Hi! Glad to hear another one has been taken in to the dark side - ah, I mean - the wonderful world of ren'ai games. =)
Anywhoooo, here's a bunch of places you should check out if you haven't already:

Engine's: Ren'Py - most used engine
Official Ren'Py forum
-Flash
-GameMaker

Articles of interest: Lem'ai Ren'ai Devlopment Center - some nice tips plus some other cool stuff
Ren'ai Games.com Development Corner - a good chunk of articles including Ren'Py 101 tutorials

Other original ren'ai games: Ren'ai Archives - mostly to see what's already been done, get ideas for your game, and so forth

If you have anything specific you want to know, just ask away and someone will answer you... eventually.
j/k We're usually pretty good at helping others. ^^

Thanks for he help so far. I'm off to check those sources, though I've already checked a few of them.

Don't forget also to either be a superb artist or find one

If you'd like.. I could show you some of mine. I have alot of friends that are better artists though. I'm good, but not really really good.

Personally, I think you can be average or even below average in any of the game elements (story, art, music, programming...). The difference between those who made a game it and those who didn't is mostly focus and discipline.

Thats the thing. I'm not sure if I can get ahold of any music that I think would be good for it. ^^;;;

Wel, you're in luck! shizeetv2 is offering his talents to create BGM. =)
Check out his thread here: Offering BGM services

Okay. Thanks everyone. I'm still in the beginningstages of this project though.. but Thanks for all of your help!

A bunch of other stuff to consider when you're not looking for individuals but rather materials and such...

Good luck and best wishs.

Thanks for the resource. It will help me alot I think.

And if you haven't read it, I really recommend you read Blue Lemma's Ren'Ai Game-Making Tips... There's some very good advice. This board has many people who've seen projects get abandoned... if you're serious about getting your game finished, I really really recommend taking the advice there.

Hmmm, I'll shamelessly suggest my own advice. It includes also thoughts on technology being instrumental for your concept. Yeah, it's self-promotion, but I wrote it for a reason and this is it.
