NEVER AGAIN. *sobs*

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... so the one that was bad was mirc? Well try xchat? Its free for 30 days... for windows users... completely free for those with mac :/ But i liked it quite a bit~ Could also use mibbit which doesnt require any download or anything...

[MENTION=35127]Ichiko[/MENTION];
I'm back if you need my help XD
I could chat to you on another channel if you want x-x

 

[thecoins]

maybe the minigames are better as extras for now

 

[Hideki]

hmmh.. i have a feel that im ignored ;_;

[Shir0]

[thecoins]

hmm [MENTION=35127]Ichiko[/MENTION]; [MENTION=23970]x-Shiki-x[/MENTION]; please dont spam too much here.

 

[Hideki]

umm... :<

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... i do feel that we should make the games have some meaning at least? Completely random games wouldnt be that great...

 

[~SnowAngel~]

sam, we're not making an rpg.. x-x

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

When did i ever say we were? Its just that i feel itll be bothersome to add random mini games in it :/

 

[~SnowAngel~]

we don't need to force ppl to play a game :P soo having it as an extra will work just fine~ no reasons needed :3
It's not like it'll be wtv, it would include stuff from/about the game to make it different.
anyways, that's not our focus unless it needs to be.

There's been some good motivating progress thanks to [MENTION=35127]Ichiko[/MENTION]; for some help XD
I purged the forum a little into the archive, haven't really edited posts yet (Especially long threads x-x).
hopefully I'll have some time for tomorrow~ names bio and outline stuff :3

 

[Decalcomania]

Well, I found a space invaders clone online... What I'm thinking is that an event could require you to win (or lose) the minigame, or possibly beat the game in a certain time limit. I'll have a look at how to do this on the weekend, I'm pretty sure it is possible though.

Oh I see. Perhaps there should be different routes depending on what the player's score or final outcome is, such as a win will move onto one half of the story, while a lose will go to the other.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm... well if theres rewards for playing and stuff then its not really just optional?... But i guess well see when we get there...

 

[MadSova]

Well... If you make the games decide something, it becomes like this: if it's too difficult it may bother readers who are bad with them, if they are so easy that you have to try hard to lose then what is the point of making them? But there is always an option to make a choice in the beginning of the game that will skip the mini games of you so desire...

[MENTION=17020]~SnowAngel~[/MENTION] ; and [MENTION=8332]Samye[/MENTION], about explaining things: I kind of met the same problem as I was writing my own novel... I was troubled for a long time deciding whether to explain the reason of the curse that fell on a guy, how it works, when did it fall on him, how he lived with it until now... If yes then when and how do I explain it, how do I make it so that there won't be too much boring explanations or flashback in the middle of story. If no then will the readers be too confused... But after thinking for a bit I decided that it is good to explain things, but that I have to make it as much natural as I can so it doesn't seem weird and isn't too long... And so I decided to simply continue on the main story while trying to think of some good opportunities for explanations in later chapters...

Also, why was I removed from the forum?

[MENTION=41427]DvorakUser[/MENTION] ; It wasn't directed as much at you as at everyone who asked to join the project but have yet to make themselves useful...

Anyway, I still want to join... I completed the Ren'Py tutorial and there were almost no points that I haven't understood. But I still am new to python so unless I study it real hard I may not reach the level of Coins. But I think I can still help with the story. I just can't find it though... I also can think up and explain things like backgrounds more, can make up some names, think up a bit of design for characters (although it will be impossible for me to paint it myself...) and dialogs between characters. I also am almost ALWAYS active... I am in front of PC whenever I'm at home so the forum is always on if PC is. I sometimes sleep with PC turned on so you can easily wake me up and ask something even if I sleep by calling me on skype. I can also check my email with my mobile phone when I'm at college or somewhere outside...

And as I said before I can also translate the game in japanese later.

 

[~SnowAngel~]

channel is now invite only (unless that becomes a problem x-x)
I still need to figure out how to add ppl XD I'll post again later when i get it~

--
I'm in the middle for explaining things~ some things should be, some should not. It may end up differently later, but that's when editing comes in :3

unless the games are somehow important to the story, it's best as an extra. (symphonic rain for ex, uses music as part of the story. you can skip tho~)

pm'd about the forum

I'd have to hear from [MENTION=29831]thecoins[/MENTION]; about renpy and stuff~

Translations are completely a non-priority/interest untill the VN is completely finished. Other people can decide whether or not to translate then. The downside of a translation is the major difference in the setting between this VN and others, especially considering culture. It would be close to completely re-writing the story. Voice and music are definitely a major interest for the VN, which is more of a luxury if we can get them someday~

 

[thecoins]

hmmm [MENTION=41427]DvorakUser[/MENTION]; is probably more experienced in python language. also it's quite easy to implement python minigames into ren'py. it's almost like copy and paste. dvorak, could you give me little example of minigame? I want to try to implement it.

also [MENTION=13039]MadSova[/MENTION]; i probably need help at ATL later. the coding itself isn't that hard, but it's quite hard to imagine the image movement for the animation.

 

[Hideki]

i could probably help a bit if is study the python language a bit more
