Raithfyre Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Hi everyone, long-time lurker, third-time poster here. Since my other two posts were in a thread I made about the VN I'm working on, I figured I should actually say hello to the community at large. Fuwanovel's played a big part in my VN consumption for years now, so really I don't have a good reason for not having gotten involved sooner =/ Let's see, about me... Well, writing and VN's are pretty much my life at this point. I actually quit my job a couple weeks ago to work on HRP and my other project, the yuri VN Starlight Vega, full-time. Bit of a reckless decision, yeah, but hey! You only get the chance to be young and dumb for a while. Right now I'm living in Phoenix, though I might move to Los Angeles at the end of the summer. We'll seeee. Gosh, I've rewritten this paragraph like four times now. For a writer, I'm awfully inept at talking about myself, I've learned. I think I need more hobbies. I don't watch as much anime as I used to (seriously, I've been halfway through the second season of Love Live for like a month and a half now) and I spend much more time writing VN's than I do playing, anymore. My favorite though is Symphonic Rain; really sad to me that it's not unpopular, but definitely under-discussed. Okay, well, I'm gonna cut this short instead of trying to force out a biography for much longer. I look forward to "meeting" all of you! Quote
Kurokusari Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Welcome to the forums! The project seems really interesting so I'll be stalking following it. Good luck with the rest ~ People are gonna go nuts and say finish love live Quote
DavidA. Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Yo, Raithfyre! Nice to meet you. I, too, was once a lurker here on Fuwa. (I still think I kinda am since not many know me...) Glad to see another VN developer on the site. I just remembered that the HRP and Lucid9 are both affiliated with Sekai Project. Maybe we can stalk each other's projects? I sort of fanboyed on the HRP's thread, so I'm sure you know how excited I am for that already. Oh, and watch Love Live! Kidding, I haven't see it either. Quote
Flutterz Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your stay! How did you find out about VNs? Have a moe: Quote
Yuri Hunter Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Welcome \o/ And you are right you only get the chance to be young one time xD. Quote
Raithfyre Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 Hello all, and thanks for the warm welcome~ David: I'll keep an eye on it. The idea of a browser-based VN is interesting to me, because I split my time between three devices. Would be handy to have something synchronized there, heh. My introduction to VN's was, embarrassingly enough, old Final Fantasy dating sims on Newgrounds =/ I didn't really know what they were at the time; I was just a lonely pre-teen. The first "proper" VN I played was Katawa Shoujo, not really expecting much. I know I'm one of many in that regard. Quote
Zodai Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Welcome to the forums! Glad to have another writer on-board, VN or otherwise. Question! From your experience, how does VN writing differ from more standard styles? Do you write the scripts on a word document then port them over, or just write them into the code itself? How do you go about editing something in a word document to flow well in code? How do you think ADV varies from NVL in terms of what works from a writing point? Quote
melo4496 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Welcome to the forums. Interesting VN you're working on. I wish you and your team good luck. Quote

Raithfyre Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 Thank you all! Such a friendly community here~ Zodai: So, writing for a VN is much more dialogue-heavy instead of description heavy. Since in a traditional novel, you have to rely on the text to describe the scene, how the characters look, etc. and in a VN, the art does all that for you. To some people, that might be be easier, but if you're like me and prefer the description-heavy stuff, it can be a bit of a chore. As for formatting... Personally, I write all my stuff in Google Docs and then transfer it over to text documents, formatting that for Ren'Py as I go. It's inefficient though, and writing directly into Ren'Py's format is a lot easier - it's just also kinda disruptive and makes it harder to get into "the zone." Quote
