I have a couple ideas. One is a normal VN-type story about a guy who's had a lobotomy to make it so he can't feel fear in a world where people's emotions can spawn Tulpas. The other is, well...have you ever had to do one of those training modules at a retail store? The kinds that are on a...
For the past year or so, I've been really interested in trying to make a visual novel. Does anyone have any experience with this? I've heard that Ren'py is the best tool for it. I used to use Twine to make fun little (non-visual) choose your own adventure stories, so I'm somewhat familiar with...
I don't know how to fix it, but maybe you could take it as a sign to stop telling your story in one or two-sentence paragraphs. That looks incredibly annoying to read.
Yes, but don't ask what it is. Donem is one of the Ascended genres that can only be written by someone who has transcended the limits of the mortal mind. Attempting to read this genre with your pathetically miniscule understanding of the universe will only result in you losing your ability to...
It's 99% donem I'm just editing and tweaking a few things. So I'll be uploading to a schedule: nine chapters on day one, one chapter per day for the next two weeks, then slow down to one chapter every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
I don't want to give away too much, but I'll tell you this: the whole story kicks off because Miranda (goat girl) misses her boyfriend Jeremy (Mr. Glowy) because he's been turned into a flesh robot, so she decides to bring him back and absolutely everything goes to hell because of it.
Every good story has one thing: violence.
Every great story has two things: violence and a chance for me to vicariously live out the fairytale romance I'll never have through my characters.
I find it encouraging. I'd never claim that I'm the next Tolkien or Sanderson, but I'm fairly comfortable saying that I'm a better writer than the vast majority of people on RR. If Little Timmy No-Commas can make $3000 a month off his crappy My Hero Academia knockoff litrpg, then it stands to...
Here's something I haven't been able to make my mind up about while editing XNPC. I've been giving dungeons levels according to the median of the monsters inside them. So if a dungeon has mobs that range from level 10 to level 20, the dungeon will be rated at level 15. But one dungeon they go to...
While proofreading XNPC, it occurred to me that I've gotten into the habit of using all caps when one of my characters yells. I know that's not considered professional, and I can't think of any professionally published books that do it off the top of my head. I think it works all right in a...
