Visual Novel Writing Contest (planning thread)

[Sharm]

I'm trying to use both, in case something happens when I work on 6.14 I have a back up but if it works then horray.

Same.

[MysteriousArtistX]

I'm on 6.14. I haven't had a problem, yet...

[Funnyguts]

I figure if the game's simple enough then 6.14 shouldn't be a problem.

I'm interested in signing up whenever the signing up thing actually happens!

Okay, gotten a bit behind here but I have most of a template put together for what I'll be handing out. The package includes

One character with about 14 expressions
15 backgrounds of stock photography
10 music files

File setup has the window size, font, and text boxes customised, just to keep this from all looking TOO painfully generic.

Entire project folder download is about 20MB.

Can you think of anything else obvious that I should personalise/include before this can be handed out to people? My intention is for people to each write their entire entry in a single .rpy and leave the existing ones ALONE, other than changing their own script.rpy to point to whatever label they're starting their story in.

I'm not bothering with stuff like menus and preferences at the moment because it's really not worth my time before the project's even started.

You have music, but what about SFX?

[papillon]

Not sure I can get enough range for it to be worth having any at all...

[Victoria Jennings]

Ah, okay. I can't really think of anything else besides that. U:

Looking forward to this!

[Takanashi]

Sounds aren't that important I think. We can just wing it on that part.
Everything else seems fine to me from an asset point of view.
When would this actually start?

[papillon]

When I can finish putting together Official Posts and uploads and stuff. so barring something whacking me over the head and needing all my attention RIGHT NOW probably later today i should be able to put stuff up.

[AxVeil]

This sound interesting. Count me in.

[papillon]

Also, I want to give a big thanks to OokamiKasumi for volunteering to donate backgrounds but I think *this* time I'll pass and stick with these photos I've grabbed. After all, this is a first time! If this contest goes well we can hopefully have another one later and then I'd love to organise the background-getting a bit more.

[Victoria Jennings]

I can't wait to get started, hehe... everything just seems so exciting. ; v ; *constantly refreshing active topics for updates on this*

[Blane Doyle]

Alright, this all sounds good and cool to me! Looking forward to it.

[papillon]

Okay, rules and links are up, hopefully I haven't left out anything too important.

You may now facepalm as you find out what the prompt and the sprite actually are.
