Discussion about the making or playing of English Language Visual Novels, save for the ones from /ksg/, or games released originally in Japanese.

Do you have a question about a Japanese visual novel or a translation of it?
/vn/ is ready to answer it.

HB dev here. Not releasing a demo was my call, not his. He's actually under the impression we should release an HB demo, for what it's worth, so no bully pls.

We're considering releasing the GDC demo. I'm interested in seeing the reception first, though.

Stop acting like you deserve success for your game based off your name alone. Because your name doesn't mean shit. Are you just "waiting for reception" so you can jack off to popularity if people like it and pretend it doesn't exist if it's garbage?

Have some fucking confidence in your project. If you don't, you shouldn't expect other people to and buy it.
>>
>>135241731
It really has nothing to do with whether I have confidence in my game or not. HB is a short game. I just want to see if a demo is worth it. I don't think it's garbage and I believe it's going to do well for us, but I also know my opinion is tremendously skewed, so if it turns out it is garbage, then I want to be able to release something that addresses those problems and put out something that we know is good.

We have lots of faith in Highway Blossoms, but you're correct--our name doesn't mean anything. It's our first release outside of the HRP demo, which is why I'm being cautious. Perhaps overly so.

The GDC demo is two scenes from the middle of the game. So it's not too long. We could release that to the public or we could release the first few scenes of the game instead. Again, I don't want to mess this up, so I'm being careful with how we go about things.

Sorry if it comes off as arrogance or us being cowardly. That's not the intention.

So let me ask you this: what made you decide to do a demo for GDC? Was it your idea, or your publisher's, or what? If it didn't exist, then how would you have decided? Gut feeling?
>>
>>135243227
People are entitled to their opinions, shitposting or not. It doesn't particularly bother me.
>>135243589
Sekai asked us if we wanted to participate. I've been trying to warm up to the idea of a demo for a while now and we had a few scenes we felt would work for a short one, so we agreed.
>>
>>135243589
The magic 8 ball has spoken.
>>
>>135243742
>we had a few scenes we felt would work for a short one
Showing people a highlight reel of interesting scenes might not be the best thing if the game actually starts off slow.
>>

>>135243887
It wasn't really s highlight reel. They were scenes 18 and 19 (of a game with about 40 scenes)

Who wrote what's in the demo? You, Raith, or both?

The release date for Starlight Vega will likely be announced tomorrow.

hi razz

>>135244756
Wrong, I'm yurifanboy 5000xReApEr
>>
>>135244623
It was me. Raith and I split our writing work into "arcs" of sorts. So I wrote most of the stuff that takes place in, say, New Mexico, while he wrote the Arizona portion. It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it.
>>
>>135244923

What do you think of Raithfyre saying things like "Highway Blossoms will most likely be the best yuri EVN of the year" when in here you're trying to say you aren't trying to come off as arrogant? Even if it's a joke it's definitely in a holier than thou tone and could even be interpreted as spiteful given Raithfyre's prior affiliation with Starlight Vega. He isn't you, but he still represents you and your game to an extent.
>>
>>135244923
Did you each write half? And who decided who gets to write what? I've only ever worked alone so I'm curious about how others do it.
>>
>>135244923
Is the the girl with the bikini top paired with anyone?
>>
>>135245187
It doesn't really bother me. I think the quality of HB is pretty solid though, so I do think the release is gonna go well for us. And the thing is, the only places it really causes any issues is on /evn/ or maybe an comment on /u/. I'd also be lying if I didn't say we really hope HB is the best yuri EVN release this year.
>>135245232
I decided on who wrote what. I'm more or less project lead, so these decision usually come down to me for HB (HRP is different). Overall, I think I ended up writing a little more than half, but both our scene counts were pretty close.
>>135245276

>>135245964

So you don't want to come off as arrogant but you're fine with people who is constantly in the limelight for your game sounding arrogant, but it's not a big deal because you agree with him? Isn't that just...being arrogant?

Well of course you didn't, no one tries to be an asshole on purpose. It doesn't change the fact that someone representing your VN comes off as sounding arrogant or rude to people outside of your circle however.

>What do you think of Raithfyre saying things like "Highway Blossoms will most likely be the best yuri EVN of the year"

I don't think he'd care enough to argue about it. I'm much more of a pedant.

Fair enough. I could see how someone might have a problem with it. But it's really not that big of an issue, and might have been blown out of proportion, I think.
>>
>>135247265
It's just because it came from the same guy who said that shit in the HRP kickstarter, otherwise nobody would give a fuck

I'm a total beginner at making VNs, but I'm interested in learning so I'm going to participate in that NaNoReNo thing. I composed around 5 songs, did some incomplete art, wrote like 1k words in RenPy.

Anyone know what's a good amount of words for a VN? It takes so long to write a story myself but making a visual novel is pretty fun so far.
>>
>>135265621
50k-200k ?
Dunno brah, 1k is like 5 min of reading.

For a VN that will be 4 hours in length total, what length should the demo be? I was originally thinking 20 minutes of each heroines route, so if someone were to play them all the demos total length would be 1 hour, but then someone said that was too long.

Rising Angels: Hope will now be a commercial release.

http://www.idhasstudios.com/?p=761

>Ugly news: I didn’t open with the fact that the amount of work I have dropping to radically low levels for the usual banter reasons. It has put both my and Fuzzy’s food situations into what I would refer to ask drastically dangerous levels of starvation. Without seeing a decent paycheck for at least 3 months, I am being forced into a situation where I need to find a way to keep the kibble in his bowl before he eats me. The way we have decided to do that is by selling Rising Angels: Hope. Now, before you all call for my head, I didn’t come to this decision lightly. Making it so everyone can always enjoy my games is the dream, but dreams don’t keep the power on to make those games. I simply can only bow my head and ask for your support for this painful decision. We are looking at somewhere between $10-15 with heavy discounts while the episodes drop to encourage early support. With all six episodes, the game is roughly 7-9 hours. All backers of RA: Fates and studio donators (prior to this post) will get access to the game for free. That has not changed.

Rising Angels: Hope episode 1 will release this Friday.

Episode 2 will release on April 1st.

Episode 3 will release on April 15th.

He's using it as a test, to see if making the still-in-production Rising Angels: Fates episodic would be a good idea. That way, people can play the arcs faster.

One of my objections was that it was a bad comparison since Hope was free, while the version of Fates with different romance options will be commercial. That's been solved, but Fates will likely have longer gaps than 2 weeks.

My initial thoughts were that
-the backgrounds were nice
-the music was good but way overused and the looping was shitty
-the sprites were okay but each girl only had one, and the green girl's sprite looked better than the others
-Writing was overall painfully generic (and they got their own character's names wrong a lot) but the worst part was the implementation of the ecchi stuff. Holy shit. It was so fucking bad. And it just used black screens for most of it, while for example describing the shy girl masturbating to you pretending to masturbate to her

I can see light at the end of the tunnel. I've just read through two whole sighs that weren't in *actions*, but in italics instead. I would shit on the fact this MC feels the need to sigh at the start of every sentence, but I'll take what I can get for now.

It's been years since I last did that with a stranger on the internet. The first time I did it with some anon on omegle and we ended up finishing around the same time. They said it was nice to have someone to do it with. Overall it was a pleasant experience. In terms of cuteness, I'm afraid my only charm lies in being a wallflower. I sit around and wait for someone to notice and bother to talk to my averagely attractive self, but no one ever does, since there are so many other obviously attractive women who aren't afraid to flaunt themselves. Whereas I have to stick to masturbating to, and with strangers on the internet.

I weigh 8 stone and am 5'4, so no, not chubby at all. Which just pisses me off even more when I see landwhales getting dicked and brought out on paid for dates every other weekend. I have small tits which I'm actually pretty proud of because DFC is love, DFC is life.

Of course you would.

What do you guys prefer seeing?

A blank self-insert MC/FeMC who only exists to interact with the heroes/heroines?
Or a character with actual plot agency and a character arc?

I want to write something with the latter, but I'm afraid it'll take away from the readers who are only in the story for waifus and husbandos.

That gives me hope. I just have to try to make the PoV character compelling then.

>>135338068
define 'loser' for mc

is it okay for the mc to be kind of a douchebag at the start of the vn but wise up later?
>>
>>135338068
Or an MC that all the heroines willingly drop their panties for because he's 'so kind' and plays it down as just doing 'what anyone would do'. Sakura santa, looking at you.
>>
>>135338068
What about a loser/doormat MC who eventually grows into a strong alpha?

Character development can't be bad.
Right?
>>
Just saying, I'd rather have a doormat niceguy loser than a shitty chuuni so cool fantasy like Yuuji.
>>
>>135338249
>>135338181
If the character is too annoying at the start I'll either drop the game before development happens or I'll still dislike him after he changes.
MCs normally are the character you spend the most time with and color the view you get of the rest of the game, so you have to be careful with them.
>>
>>135338778
what if the MC was American Psycho levels of bad person?
>>
>>135338181

Think the typical harem MC. They are terrible at everything they do (except that one plot relevant thing, of course) and they'd basically die from uselessness if the universe didn't conspire to make everything work in their favor.

>>135338181
Douchebags MCs are fine as long as they get some kind of comeuppance or wise up at the end.

>>135338249
I like this as long as their somehow earn it. MCs that become alpha via deus ex machina are annoying, too.
>>
>>135338928
I don't really like that kind of story, so I wouldn't pick it up in the first place.
>>
>>135338212
Why do people get triggered by 'kind' MCs and girls falling for them? You fags do realize that the
>Nice guys finish last
Thing is often times iust a meme right? Girls may be into bad boys, but most will settle down with a nice and kind person instead of a douche.
>>
>>135339646

Because more often than not being "nice" is literally the only quality those kind of MCs have.
>>
>>135337791
If your MC isn't a little bit homo, can he even be self-insert?

I know mine can't.
>>
>>135339056
>MCs that become alpha via deus ex machina are annoying, too.

I was just thinking the MC starts as a NEET but through social interaction eventually becomes a pretty cool dude.

I edited some assets so that they felt more suitable at night. I'm still not sure why I never thought to commission nighttime variations of the backgrounds but I'm making the most of it.

I think I've adjusted the sprite's colour so that it fits the background, without blending in too much, but I'm wondering if the filesize of the game is going to shoot up tons if I have night time variations of everyone alongside the normal images.

>>
>>135348517
Maybe.

I've been debating how lewd I want to go with it, since there's already light femdom elements present, but nothing too extreme. But since I have an established VA cast for the game already I would have to take into consideration their own limits, or just not have those parts voiced at all.

>>135354302
It's depressing that a meme tyrannobuilder game is probably selling way more than any project that has had years of work put into it, but that's just how the market works.

Either that or add massive shiny breasts into your VN. A combination of the two and you'll be set for life.

it was the same thing with a wild catgirl. game took a month and maybe 200$ to make if we're being generous, including the greenlight fee. steam just wants shitty vn.

Don't worry, they'll pick the best scenes in the game for it, so you can't be disappointed until you play the full game.

And sometimes they don't even have that but are just randomly described as "nice" by the girls.

>>135355208
I guess I can't be mad at them if they managed to make bank with those efforts.

It does make me hesitant about putting my own VN onto greenlight after the glut of low effort releases and just the general volume of english language visual novels now in general. I just feel like I'm just adding to the heap and will get lost completely.

>>135359845
It's not something to be in awe of at this point.

Their numbers are good, better than average, but launch numbers on steamspy are TOTALLY unreliable. If they top out at that number, or drop down a bit, then the end result will be "better than average" but not astonishing.

It's a bit disheartening when a knockoff meme game comes out strongly though, because our innate sense of fairness makes us want to see people who tried harder get rewarded better.

My mother is vaguely aware of the game, though she's always been pretty hands-off about my hobbies. When someone else in my family asks, I just tell them that "it's a game about monsters" and then they lose interest.

And speaking of things I wouldn't show my family, the splashscreen for the game is now ready. I will put it in the demo later, and also update it so that the ending returns to the menu rather than giving an error.

Yes.

Unless you actually have a scene with a character singing, background music with vocals is distracting. You're trying to read one thing while another voice is saying something else in the background.

Sorry, I should have noted it's for the Ending theme. I wouldn't put lyrics in regular BG music.

If they don't know why or it's just a personal preference, I'd say "okay", and let them go.
If they don't like ANY of the ideas, then I give up on serious VNs forever and just make trash moe VNs.

I have a question about naming my game studio. I've been using the name of an OC that appears in some but not all of my games- let's say Amelia. All my social media accounts are called Amelia. If I name my studio Amelia, does that sound egoistical or like I named it after myself? It's an OC as I mentioned, but I go by that online name as well.

I don't want it to sound like a one person company when it'll have other people in it. I wanted to keep the name because it comes with some established audience that I'd lose if I changed the name. What should I do?
>>
>>135421084
It doesn't matter. You can just not name it a studio and be a man working with other people.
But if you're going for the maximum obnoxious, pretentious douche look, here are some advices:
1. Have some Japanese word in your studio name. For example Un chino gao Hinata. It doesn't matter if you understand it.
2. Add ";" into your game or studio name. Bitches love semicolons. As much as they love colons and the amount of shit dropping from them.
3. Add "company, incorporated, productions, studio" at the end of your group name. Everyone wants to work with a big company, right? No time for those shit eating small fries. From now on, you're named Un chino gao; Hinata: Productions Incorporated!
>>
>>135421084
I'd say if you have an established audience, do what you can to keep them on board. I don't think it's egotistical if you have a running theme, it could become your iconic trait to your audience, why get rid of it?
>>
>>135421717
That'd be a really long name to remember!

>>135421892
This is helpful, thanks
>>
>>135424826
Okay, shitposting aside, your group name really doesn't matter anything until you make something. When you work with someone, they won't care if you introduce yourself as "Sasugasenpai studio." When you have a demo ready, just go with whatever you feel like. Amelia studio? Sure. Or just name it "Amelia." Simple, without stupid suffix like company.
>>
>>135425197
Ah, okay. I've only released free games before, so maybe it's really stupid, but I thought I might have to register a company name, in which case an Inc or LLC might be required. I don't even know if this is necessary. I wasn't planning to look until I have my current game finished, because nothing else matters if there's no product to begin with.
>>
>>135426627

You don't NEED to register the name, but keep in mind that if you don't there's literally nothing preventing someone from naming themselves that too.
>>
>>135377846
>Sorry anon but all my daughterus have natural, dark hair
That's not what they meant. They have no highlights whatsoever, just base and shadow, which makes the entire sprite look flat.
And speaking of flat, I can see why another anon would mistake her for a pretty boy.
>>
>>135426786
Just pick something that nobody else would want to name themselves, or that would be specific to your works. If you make up a word "Unwonted", I doubt anybody would end up using it but you.

Need some answers about renpy or whatever other game maker tool you'd reccommend for the following scenario:

I'm interested in having a time system in a VN, that goes by regardless of player doing something or not - like day/night cycle. I'd also like for characters to have itineraries depending on it (going to jobs, etc). If you played Deadly Premonition you know what I'm talking about (sens real time movement / action of course).

Other thing - how open are these programs to puzzle making (like imitating something from Layton etc)? Or examples of novels that have puzzles.

That's all.

>>135563551
>how open are these programs to puzzle making (like imitating something from Layton etc)? Or examples of novels that have puzzles.
It's possible, but if you want a variety of interesting puzzles you might be better off working with something like Game Maker, where it'll be easier to implement lots of different things and have them work together.
>>
>>135564826
Yeah, thing is that puzzles would be a gameplay addendum, I'm fine with all other 'static' elements renpy (for example) seems to offer in a visual novel creation. The main thing is, I wouldn't want a game that looks like a RPG maker game aesthetically and it's also easier to draw static compositions than to make models.

Or is there a way to insert character movement in renpy? Like having a model that can walk from point A to point B rather than clicking them as waypoints?
>>
>>135563551
>how open are these programs to puzzle making (like imitating something from Layton etc)?

I mean, Winter Wolves made a several RPGs in renpy (Loren, SotW)
>>
>>135568034
Interesting, although I didn't see a character model walking around, but it seems renpy offers plenty of variety for a vn hybrid.
>>
>>135568421
Again, it's _possible_ if you know what you're doing, but it's not going to be a simple process and if gameplay is a heavy part of your project, you might prefer tools that will ease your burden in the gameplay part.

People have made RenPy games with characters walking around in them, I can think of at least two, but I don't think any of them have released source code. You'd have to figure it out from scratch.
>>
>>135568421
like tokyo dark? you're going to want to cut that feature, use rpg maker, or use unity.
>>
>>135572126
>you're going to want to cut that feature, use rpg maker, or use unity.

RPG maker is a truly bizarre choice for someone who wants to have puzzles (is that even possible?), and Unity is overkill for an adventure game. You could do it in Unity, but you definitely don't have to.
>>
>>135572126
yeah that's close enough. you know which engine they use? i just want puzzles and walking between locations
>>
>>135572745
Both can be done in RPG Maker, walking between locations come out-of-box. Puzzles are a little tricky, but doable.

Ignore this guy >>135572615, he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.
>>
>>135573006
Walking between locations comes super-easily in RPG Maker. It also comes easily in dozens of other engines which are much easier to put puzzles in.

I don't know everything about RPG Maker, which is why I asked if it was possible rather than stating outright that it was absolutely not. I can certainly say that every single adventure game I've ever seen in RPG Maker used inventory-based puzzles and NOT anything along the lines of Professor Layton.
>>
>>135572615
>(is that even possible?)
y-yes?

> Unity is overkill for an adventure game
you whot

>>135572745

>>135575305
Consulting guides to puzzles in RPG Maker, the information that's coming up is:

- find inventory object to unlock obstacle
- combine two inventory objects
- find hidden clue to input at prompt
- walk around the map interacting with objects in sequence
- if they get super-complicated, maybe being able to push an object across the screen as they walk

I'm not finding any examples of puzzle minigames that aren't completely controlled by a little RPG character walking around and hitting the interact button while standing next to an object.

good morning, friends

I held a poll on my twitter to see what route people would rather I work on first once I'm done with the common route, and there was a character that ended up not getting a single vote. Granted, only 11 people voted, but it still makes me question things. ;_; Maybe they just haven't seen enough of her character yet to form a proper opinion on her over the others. Or maybe I shouldn't fret over 11 votes.

Bump before I go to bed.

or maybe she's ugly and boring

I was trying to be optimistic ;_;

Tell us about the losing girl, anon. Maybe we can help you determine whether she's lame or underappreciated.

>>135588294
Thank you for being considerate even if not as reliable as a clock-based bomb, Ahmed.

Hello cousin :^)

Could you people working on novels post some of your concepts here? Like interwoven network of characters / interactions I assume you sketch on paper or something.
>>
>>135602834
why
>>
>>135603331
I like seeing stuff like that if someone doesn't mind sharing snippets of work.

Does it count if I sketched out my town map and how my characters get from point A to point B?

I'm thinking of adding a wolf head barkeep to my visual novel for marketing sake. I'll pass it off as absurdism.

Made this for you, hope it works for your purposes. I usually charge for stuff like this, so please pay it forward and do something nice for a stranger today.

I'm just a programmer. What can I do for someone who probably can google everything I've learned? ;_;
>>
Sup cucks. New here. How do you guys outline your VNs? I've got a pretty decent method when it comes to writing linear stories like novels, but I just don't know how to even approach writing a branching plot.
>>
>>135608423
I don't know, that's for you to decide. Maybe an encouraging comment somewhere, maybe advice. Just don't let the cycle of kindness end with you.

>>135608423
>I'm just a programmer. What can I do for someone who probably can google everything I've learned?

I dunno, maybe make a RPG engine or some shit. It's the craze nowadays!
>>
>>135608486
What I'm doing is writing the story based off of an outline that says what each route is, the main events that happen, how it ends, any important character relationships that develop during it. After I'm done with the outline of all the routes I just go start to finish on one route, marking places where choices would go. I keep a mental note of points and flags and whatnot as well.
>>
>>135608423
How are you a programmer that can't do SFX or UI? What can you even do then? You really can't do transitions, make new UI, or script things like an animated BG?
>>
>>135608486
post-its on a huge ass board.
>>
>>135609005
Hey, scripting animated BGs is done through ATL. I can assign SFX to UI elements and code UI... I just can't design UI or make SFX.
>>135608862
I'm actually doing one btw.
>>
Maybe if I had enough confidence like Hackers versus Bankers, I probably would say I can do BGs, SFX, UI.
>>
>>135610335
it's better to doubt your abilities and strive for improvement than think you're hot shit when you're terrible

sfx-senpaiiiiii ;_;. Welp, was this a compressed PCM .wav?

We hit the limit and need a new thread, but it anyone awake?
>>
>>135611138
Still alive but I'd rather have the first-worlders do it.
>>
>>135611123
It was stereo 32-bit float WAV, should have worked fine but here, let me give you an OGG version of it.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/a1hwdthj1vdurr7/claw.ogg?dl=0

Let me know if this works, if it doesn't we can try some other alternatives like 16-bit fixed WAV or something.
>>
>>135611531
Confirmed, working fine. Thanks, anon. ;_;

OH MY GOD MAKE A NEW THREAD BEFORE I TURN HYSTERICAL
