Weird…my comment got cut off. Oh well.

I don’t think I’ve ever designed a game, but I have written simulation programs. They can’t be that different >_> I hope…

You know, I’ve never had the patience to do something like this, though I’ve definitely wanted to.

Tell me if you need help with programming or website designing. If you plan on using Ren’py, I can help you. My major’s in Computer Science, so it should be a good practice run for me as well _> I hope…

Thanks for the idea, I actually am thinking about Ren’py, it’s just so much simpler! I was wondering if I could use it as a base, and then maybe hire a Python expert if anything required more (I believe it’s based in Python).

But first, a website! Actually, first I need to get some non-gaming stuff out of the way, I’ve been soooo busy lately I hate it and when I go home I only have energy for some light gaming. By the end of March all my real life stuff should be done (the non-fun stuff anyway) and I can really focus!

I’m not a programmer either. Though I tried to learn Flash, it seemed like an awful lot of effort for not much reward.

I know you’ve spent a lot already, Lijaka, but if you struggle with Flash, then there’s always the free option of Ren’py. It may not be well suited to games with complex statistics or action, but it’s a useful tool for making visual novels and simple dating simulations. Be sure to ask around the Lemma Soft forum if you’re forming a development team.

You might know this already, but in case you didn’t, some indie game creators have used Ren’py to create commercial games. The pool of creative talent has improved in the last five or six years, since the days when VNs made in English only used clipart.

I was kinda expecting this.. ;> But I’m certainly looking forward to seeing what you’ll come up with, since I’m sure you have some decent ideas.

Whoa, you bought the whole Adobe Creative Suite… ^^; Hope everything would work out well! Never touched flash myself, so am not likely to be of any help there… ^^;

Love your new layout and game release calendar too! Great idea to keep track of what will be out soon so can start saving money *stares at empty wallet*… Good luck with your otome game and keep us informed ^^.

Sorry for doubleposting, I just noticed once again, that emoticons I use are displayed as gray boxes. Is that just me and my computer or are they somehow missing from this blog?

Woah, what news! I really wish you luck, I’ll be looking forward to it. Do tell us when the mini site’s up, I’m quite curious of course
