I'm not making a game... but I wrote 1000 words today after an inspirationally dead three month block, too! It's a breakthrough!!!!!!I wrote 5,000 words today and fixed up a mini-game. ^^ I'm feeling productive.
Congrats!! I know the pains of a writer's block! And I know how good it feels to finally write again! So, yes! Let's party like it's 1999!chelxoxo wrote:I'm not making a game... but I wrote 1000 words today after an inspirationally dead three month block, too! It's a breakthrough!!!!!!
Let us bask in glorious productive-ness

Seriously though, play with teeth... I had this image of emmitt doing it even though he plays drums and not a guitar... and I just see him in my head nomming at a guitar attempting to be awesome...
Sure! The mini-game works basically like dstarsboy explained on the first page. The "audience interest" bar steadily depletes over the the course of time (longer time for harder venues). Using an action will either boost the bar, slow it's depletion, or stop it completely for a certain amount of time. Using actions will require energy, which will start off at 100 points per band member, BUT will be reduced by how much stress each band member has. In the screenshot, all the band members had 0 stress, but Emmitt had 15 stress (*shakes fist at emmitt*). So you get 385 energy ([100 x 4] - 15). I haven't really tested it thoroughly for balance, so I might reduce the stress penalty if you constantly get low energy per gig.azureXtwilight wrote:Wow...

If you have more than 8 actions unlocked, what you get per gig is random. (And no, I'm not changing the random thing. It makes it more interesting.) You can unlock actions by raising star quality and music.
Hmm, I meant what actions you get per gig (as this mini-game will play before each gig unless you turn it off).azureXtwilight wrote:What we get? Cash you mean?
Anyway, that system means that we have to think strategically about which button to press according to the crowd and energy... Is it possible to get good results even though we only have one song?
Your idea is way better than mine was. I'm glad you got some inspiration from it though. Your mini game sounds really solid, you'll probably just have to make a few tweaks for balance but it sounds like you really nailed it. Grats!Aleema wrote: Sure!

~ A GxB or GxG Visual Novel/Dating SimIt's Fantasia!I'm curious about your "Project" in your profile. Which otome game are you novelizing? Maybe I played it.
I just hope that I can do it well ^_^ I've let azure see the prologue chapter and she liked it, so hopefully all will go well 
Aww, take some credit, will you? I would have never thought to do this without your helpful idea.dstarsboy wrote:Your idea is way better than mine was.

Uwaaah! An otome game right from our very forum! That's so cool! Now I'm even more interested in your project.chelxoxo wrote:It's Fantasia!
I know! It's so exciting!! I just love Azure's games, and my muse started having a fit when I opened Word to do some coursework (yup, oops...Aleema wrote:Uwaaah! An otome game right from our very forum! That's so cool! Now I'm even more interested in your project.
) When I have a few more chapters, I may post it on here! I'd love to share my writing with everyone Though admittedly, YTP is a very cool band name........ *steals*
