Let's Create a VN!!!

Hmm.... It seem to be having many ending cuz of those branch choices.....

 

[aexiel]

CG gallery is a must.

question, is there a series of codes in ren'py regarding what triggers bad/good endings?

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm yes quite a few branch endings... in what in am planning anyhow xD Ushio... i havent planned as much for the second part actually...

 

[thecoins]

hmm it depends... you can make point- based system or branching system

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm can we use both? xD

 

[aexiel]

that might lead to too many endings? XD

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Branches with branches mwahahahaha I just want to mind **** people anyhow ;p

 

[aexiel]

mind whaaaaaaaaaat? XD

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol wouldnt it be fun to go through tons of paths to find that you actually messed up with the first choice you made? But all the endings somehow add to the story~

sorry i haven't been on everyone during the whole week, our internet has been going off in the early afternoon til about 9:30 in the morning That's over 12 hours! T~T

[MENTION=10379]Neko[/MENTION]; I love the UI background you did an awesome job and i'm glad you're helping us~~


[MENTION=29831]thecoins[/MENTION]; 6 x 3 pages of saves would be fine? The majority of this is a non-decision game to begin with.

Soo just going to remind people~ We're not going for bad/normal/good endings with choices. If we do, the main good story will be straight without choices. (honestly.. choices are just annoying x-x)

The only case I'd use them is for extra side stories that are unlocked in a sequence. Even then, we'd have 2 endings at least or 3 at the most depending on the character. If this idea sounds right, we can have a part 3 for the main characters in which there will be choices~ The player should know enough about the characters to know what to pick, but I'm not sure how different the branches should be, how many choices etc. I'd be silly to have a few decisions branch, and then the others just there for no reason x-x.


Anyways~ The only reason we'd need choices is if there's different sides of a story to tell with one character, or to answer "what would happen if__." There wouldn't be bad endings exactly, but if there were, it would have to be just as good as the other endings.

The thing about the old guy is that you cannot hint at all whatsoever what part he plays in the story x-x People will be guessing who he is very often, so there's certain roles he'll be playing that are similar to other people, but not the same.
I'll try explaining more on the forum~ if my internet lasts x-x

We should switch the project leader to Ushio, since he seems to be in charge of everything.

 

[aexiel]

so basically, all decisions made will only contribute to bonus CGs? like for example which place to go on a date, the park or the oceanarium? decisions of which have no weight in the story whatsoever? could be, could be.

slight problem in the side stories though is the 'when' they come into play. hmmmm bah. story first, technicalities later...

[MENTION=17020]~SnowAngel~[/MENTION]; thanks ;p
And i feel bad for your internet :(
Hope it'll going fine.

sarcasm? T~T



this is our first VN sooo~ we should focus on the main content first. If there's room for extra stuff, we can try to include that~
I mean, it doesn't have to be bonus stuff either, it could just throw you right into it~ and appear on the menu?
There's alot of ideas people could play with for the choice type of thing x-x but I'm sure it'll be just as difficult/long to figure out.

i can't believe he said that. XD

 

[Neko]

Hmm i think the project leader should had an experience of makes a VN.. so coins is the best choice i think.

 

[~SnowAngel~]

I hate being a leader person but everyone tries to make me one

 

[aexiel]

i believe decal was being sarcastic because of Ushio's controlling many of the major decisions (if you read all the posts) recently.

 

[~SnowAngel~]

you did not just say that T~T

 

[aexiel]

It's not what I meant. XD

but you have been a bit constricting...

 

[~SnowAngel~]

i've always said things like i'm not sure, or just because i say it doesn't mean it's final T~T

i might be the only one here from usa, so you could also consider that my opinion comes off more strongly x-x

 

[nanashi1]

G'evening ASF~

 

[thecoins]

[MENTION=25364]Decalcomania[/MENTION]; snow seems to control everything because she is a story writer. she will decide what's best for the story, since the story was made by her. we'll discuss any idea befor deciding it. so no one-sided idea here. For controlling pace of work etc, i have given that to aexiel as project manager, so i can focus more at Programming and CG. I am still the leader, but leader can't do everything right? leader isn't god.

 

[Monjster]

I wanna write too, Im baws with plots

 

[thecoins]

hmmm so you can insert llamas?
