Member of the Month not showing up
Darklord Rooke replied to Nosebleed's topic in Voluntary Tech Support
Make it an award, and you can add it to the others you have -
Indulge me, if you will.
Darklord Rooke replied to MellowMadman11's topic in The Coliseum of Chatter
Consoles aren't the problem. Internet's expensive in Australia, and I connect with a wireless dongle which means it's really expensive. So I don't play games on line. You guys have fun, but I won't be able to join. -
50 translated VNs you should read before you die
Darklord Rooke replied to Kaguya's topic in Recommendations
You played Scheherazade? It's probably the best english VN I can think of, in terms of writing and depth of gameplay. Not many people know about it though, it doesn't get advertised as much as Winterwolves and Hanako because Black Chicken Studios comes more from a sim/rpg background. However, if you're looking for sim gameplay, one of the first Indie places you look is Black Chicken Studios, and if you want that gameplay wrapped in a VN exterior, you get Scheherazade. *Ends sales pitch* -

There are also English VNs, much better than Dysfunctional systems, that are not on your list. Which is the reason I brought it up -

Dysfunctional systems is an english VN, not a translated one. -

I just selected 5 topics at random to follow, and the member of the month still shows up. Back to the drawing board. Now excuse me while I go and unfollow all the threads I just followed -
Ideally, writers develop character in scenes which move the plot forward. That way you don't get a Little Busters scenario where large chunks of the game are just the characters stuffing around.

Bloat. Scene after scene where nothing happens. Key, I'm looking at you.

I don't think you're going to like Kud's route much.

If you hated the game, why did you force yourself to finish it?

Don't feed the gremlins after midnight

What Video Games Are You Playing Right Now?

Sakura wars -
I'm not sure I like the idea of being given an award just for signing up (the 12, 13, 14 award). Making the awards rarer makes it more significant when you receive one, whereas if you get an award just by signing up it devalues the system.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I still think you're being too generous with your praise, though. And sorry Charmed, I went a little bit too far with that accusation. Oh, and regarding the song, I can guarantee you'll like the version which is revealed later on even better -
How is winter treating you?
Darklord Rooke replied to O. Van Bruce's topic in The Coliseum of Chatter
I'm always in the minority on this topic, but I love the cold. It's invigorating, and at night you get to snuggle into bed and feel all cosy. And I'm blessed with good genes so I rarely get sick *does little dance* In summer, I feel so lethargic. all the energy is sucked from me, I can't breathe and at night I collapse into bed feeling all uncomfortable and can't sleep. I also have EPP, so if I spend too long in the sun (like driving), I spend the next 3 days in agony. I went out once in 40C weather recently for half an hour, and was incapacitated for the next 3 days. Took a week to fully recover. *Sigh* . So I spend summer hiding away indoors. More heat next week *double sigh* . -
Climate change, global warming discussion
Darklord Rooke replied to Joshyan's topic in General Discussion
I don't understand why people get so angry over climate change denialists. -

+1 I don't do well in hot weather -

So here's the scene. It's only half-way edited. I haven't finished editing the scene because it needs to be rewritten for the novella and therefore motivation to edit and polish is low. Still not happy with my prose. Especially my second paragraph. And the third. And the rest of it. Try not to expect too much. Charm completely over-hyped it. It's not that good. That's actually worth repeating. DON'T expect too much, it's just a gag scene and Charm COMPLETELY over-hyped the thing. It's a story vaguely related to ear hygiene, which were the exact words Charm used when I accepted the topic. So it is very vaguely related to ear hygiene. Oh, and the scene was only half-way done. -
Government propaganda in visual novels
Darklord Rooke replied to cedec0's topic in Visual Novel Talk
Hey Down. Your award for being a member of the staff is an image that symbolises you've been wounded and sent to hospital. It looks kinda weird. -

Darklord Rooke replied to MellowMadman11's topic in The Coliseum of Chatter
Lol it's fine. My fault for not posting it on this thread in a timely manner. The story was good, Wink. I liked it very much. Question: The scene I'm writing will be expanded into a novella in the future, and posted on a website I'll make. You guys don't mind if I dedicate it to you 3, seeing as you gave me the idea for it? -

Wayyyy too much hype Charmanderson. It's much better to say the story is shitty, that way any little thing will impress . -

Look on the bright side. At least you weren't with a 'lady friend' at the time
