  1. guys you cant force a developer to make longer games, especially on VN. its true that most developers might make games longer but often times people can just skip cutscene, enemies, and quest. trying to make games longer is not an answer, i do believe most developers would stop using steam all because of that loophole. steam might take action on its own policy but that rarely happens, so most likely developers wont bother with steam any more. its getting worst and worst with steam, first it force developers to pay $100, pay again for greenlight, and now they must lose money whenever a player "feels" that the game is bad.

     

    bad move steam bad move.

  2. How much customization does this engine allow? Can I program features in that they don't have yet, such as a backlog using their TyranoScript? 
     
    without tyranoscript you can build a simple VN, however renpy does that has well. if you want to build a backlog you need to learn tyranoscript which is not any language that people have posted on youtube or such (you must learn it). even with tyranoscript you are still limit to what it can do, so building a RPG is completely out of the question.
     
    Is there any built in support for options?
     
    you mean the choices? ya that should be there, renpy also has that option. both have the same standard "jump" command.
     
    What about things like text color?
     
    easy to spot, renpy also has it.
     
    hope that helps.
  3. updates, updates everywhere.

    * also the game is now only english and spanish version. i could not stand with google misleading me on japanese and delaying the project.
     
    * the price is still the same, only $2
     
    * android version will be available at amazon as well as separate OP systems such as mac, linux and windows.
     
    * full download of everything (including android) will be place on itch.io and fireflower.
     
    * support for rising awareness in suicide death has been made in thunderclap:
     
    [waiting for approval]
  4. i agree what everyone said, reviews are so random at this era and almost anyone can start a review service. one game that has been getting mix reviews is "Freedom Planet", out of all the websites i can find only one person did it right. many reviewers saw freedom planet has a clone to sonic which of course is wrong, if they had ever played it they would seen more than just sonic stuff. these kinds of random reviews is what makes developers like me not want to ask for one. the fear of being called out on your games bad review is almost certainly not helpful, even when you try to get a job in the gaming development industry.

  5. certain types of VN dont work with renpy android VN engine, most common is the dating simulator it has too many unknown language for the android to pick up on. these things can be from videos, images, or renpy itself, this list shows examples of what an android can support:

    another problem could be from your old cellphone, the VN could have been build for newer version but not for older versions.

  6. he first question is "why"? What exactly is it about this story filled with ridiculousness on the verge on nonsense that causes it to continue to captivate people to do this day?

     

    it talks about you, the person. the story questions your existence and insanity. its hard to understand but basically thats it, here some examples:

    p.s happy 150 anniversary of Alice in Wonderland

  7. i say read these first before writing:

     

    1) In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust (life about the author)

     

    2)  Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes (adventure and funny)

     

    3)  War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (tragic horrors)

     

    4)  The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald (funny and mystery)

     

    5) The Time Machine by H. G. Wells (science fiction)

     

    these books should help you understand characters, plot, their settings, and more.

  8. i won't say it's demanding but it is old school, has you see from the example (this one)

    if there was better tools for artist this could have been done in a week or so. the way japan does anime is though a long process that hasn't change for 105 years (new tools like computer dont help). this video explains how the process works:

    this photo shows the list he explained:

    now if you looked into how americans do it you'll see a different process. (its the only one i can find in the internet)

    so when i say that japan anime has old school stuff, they really do have it in the old ways. while americans makes animation with better technology which helps the artist.
