What are you writing? OELVN project. 13,000-14,000 words in at the moment. Sounds cool. Forgive my noobish ignorance but is it an indie VN or are you with a large company? It's closer to indie than anything else. Generally we're hoping to get a demo up that goes to about the 30,000-40,000 word mark. After that we'll be able to get a kickstarter up and running, and hopefully the demo will serve as a jumpstart to get lots of funds.

Confession: I'm having trouble with some writing stuff and my editor/producer has been super busy lately. ;-;

Your voice is glorious. It's a little bit off in terms of the fact that I can't imagine a wide array of emotion VA-wise, but it could certainly do quite a lot of good depending on the work.

confession: I now feel like an asshole after reading this and thinking about my recent complaints about life Confession: I wasn't expecting anyone to think like this. I've always thought that my life is incredibly easier and relatively painless compared to the lives of those around me. My biggest problem is merely concentration issues. I'm so much better off than anyone else I know that I often feel ashamed for not using opportunities given to me to their fullest potential. Example: I was talking about the death of my cousin (who I didn't know very closely) to a few acquaintances. This one very energetic and cheerful girl calmly said "Oh, she died on the 23rd? Funny thing, that was a sad day for me too. It was the first anniversary of my best friend's death." Stuff like this puts my complaints and problems in perspective. I've never found my own problems to be severe (I think I'm just overly sensitive to problems because I lived a carefree, sheltered life for the most part). I find it interesting that now someone feels that way about me. Makes me consider that maybe I was overly dramatizing my problems in the previous post. Confession 2: Forgot where I heard this (might be Danganronpa 2) but this off-hand remark really resonated with me: "People never really understand each other. They only pretend to understand, and pretend to be understood". More often than not people end up underplaying their own problems in the large scheme of things. Maybe it's so they don't appear to be making a big deal over something technically small. On my end I don't think mental struggles are really given enough attention these days - they're quite difficult to get through ><;;

Elaboration? Probably something to do with his cousin just dying. It's actually a more general thing I'm feeling overwhelmed by everything I know the feeling. Everything hitting you at once with no chance to think or breathe? Yeah pretty much School stuff or general stress related to the family? Going out for a walk every once in a while might help. See if there's anywhere nearby you might be able to go to. It's certainly not an uncommon feeling ><;;

Elaboration? Probably something to do with his cousin just dying. Okay.

Good luck. Hope to see you through it soon.

I don't have photoshop, but here's a picture of a microwaved banana if anyone wants it.

I just grab pictures off the internet. After that you just try to put them together in GIMP or something. You can also use http://waifu2x.udp.jp/ to bump the resolution up a bunch.

Confession. I also just made her into a Fuwa signature. Edit: It's not showing up yet. Q_Q Edit: YES I FIXED IT IT'S WORKING <3 Also I made a new post because I wasn't sure if it'd show up on old ones but it did anyway ><;;

Personally I think voice acting ends up a luxury most projects can't afford - especially since the lack of the player having an interpretation of their voice themselves could end up taking something away instead. Poor voice acting is a weakness where no voice acting is not, and thus the only option becomes to question if you have the budget for high-quality voices and then only going for it if thus. The demand for high-quality voice actors can be considered quite high, but it takes a lot of practice from the actors' end themselves to reach this goal, so it's difficult to make a role unless you have at least some experience. I'd say it's like writing in one area - the ability to craft a comprehensible sentence does not mean one is capable of crafting the language of the story in a way that evokes emotion. Similarly, the ability to speak in a coherent fashion does not necessarily imply that the actor can evoke the necessary level of emotion, both in accuracy and consistency with the tone of the story and the raw emotional power itself, that is necessary to make voice acting a benefit rather than something loathed. To those looking to get into it - best of luck to you. Don't expect it to be easy, but if you manage to pull through I'll be looking forward to what you can deliver, for better or for worse.

I'd assume it'd be good to get to writing, then. Been working on that part - I put an excerpt of what I've been writing in the creative forum. It's still a little raw with a lot to flesh out, but it feels good to be trying again. Even in the meantime I'd love to even just proofread, if only to get my foot in somewhere with someone. I'm not above grunt work. I noticed it but I haven't read through it yet. Getting feedback is important to do, I'm just a bit out of it to do it myself ^^;; Confession: I just made my waifu into a wallpaper. IT'S FUCKING BEAUTIFUL <3 http://puu.sh/kYZSG/0b8f97286c.jpg Oooooh, pretty.

Okay i'm trying that now, I hope it works but it will be a little annoying if this is the solution. Edit: Wow I actually think that worked...well than. It might mess up again later, but thank you very much. This isn't the only VN with the issue, so if you see anything strange with the settings or etc not saving when you open it back up I'd delete the save folder just to be safe.

Working on an OELVN on my end, but I technically am writing something. Hope things go well for you xD

I had a similar problem, a long time ago. It's a problem that comes up on various VNs that has to do with the save folder being broken when made on a different computer, since the downloads usually come with the save folders pre-made. I don't know the exact specificities of the problem, but one solution is to delete the save folder then re-open the game. It should re-make the folder automatically. Be sure you move your main save outside the folder when you delete it though, because any saves inside of it will probably be lost. I'm unsure if it'll end up retaining completed CGs, but once the save folder is re-made it should fix the issue. You might end up having to re-play it from the start depending on how it turns out. I haven't done much testing with the problem on my part.

I suck at those, I'm always at around 60 wpm I think I got really high once, actually. I'm too tired to try it now though

First off it'd be good to mark for spoilers, though fortunately I didn't read in-detail on the post too much. I'm still working slowly through Extra among other things but I've heard Alternative is quite famous for that. Good luck making it to the end, maybe pick up Tsukihime when you're done for something not quite as what-the-fuck-ish.

We need more good OELVN writers.

Good luck. I'm a little curious now, actually.

The link to the actual review is missing. ;-;

Testing, Testing. This is a test of the New Avatar Size in correlation to the clarity of mine. Please wait for test results... Test complete. Mildly blurry. ;-; Should I go look for a better version of this one or just swap to my waifu or something?
