taking a break from making games for 4 days and I feel like I've betrayed myself, cut off my toes, and sinned to the face of god himself (Tim Cain)

a baseball minigame sounds very fun lol I'll have to check it out

THATS EVEN BETTER!! CONGRATS AND GOOD LUCK!

yeah for sure, some amount of WEIGHT behind choices is super important IMO, especially if that's the main gameplay

28.07.2025 21:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

thanks for the recs and yeah that makes a lot of sense. I think realtime mini games and such SUCK in VNs lol

I can get behind a mini game occasionally but if it requires timing and skill you've lost me

appreciate this input. and DOWNLOAD RENPY! ITS FREE AND EASY WOOO TODAY'S RHE DAY YOU START WRITING

LOL pop in all you'd like

I'm taking a look at the side-by-side of the original and switch versions, really really cool old graphics as well IMO

I got a ton of feedback on my first VN that having slight character motion made a WORLD of difference for people, and its definitely solidified to me that it's necessary lol (at least for the type of things I want to make)

28.07.2025 20:41 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

yeah the concept of adding mini games to make it feel like a "REAL GAME" is very true. Even as someone who dodged this trap in the first VN I made, there's a very real subconscious pressure to make the game play like a traditional game, have some action etc, despite what you set out to do

28.07.2025 20:40 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

it was definitely a choice ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Thanks for the thoughts and recs! I have heard of Yu-No, maybe time to check that out.

Yeah for sure, that makes sense. I'll have to check some of those out

good note about driving the narrative

I take it you weren't a fan of Danganronpa's hangman's Gambit ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚

28.07.2025 20:20 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think I'm the same way. perhaps the challenge is hinging on finding ONE or two really really good gameplay elements lol

28.07.2025 20:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

interesting! I'll have to check it out

oooo what was the 3 game series?

and yeah I go back and forth myself too. branching is so fun and rewarding but sometimes clumsy and sometimes feels like it takes the OOMF out of a moment imo.

I think I end up personally enjoying linear games with occasional simple gameplay elements

are there visual novel fans on bsky?

what are people's preferences on gameplay components vs pure reading?

a lot of my pixel art sprite work for Pinball Crush was done on a 3DS!

if anyone has a 3DS laying around, try out Pixel Maker Studio - it's SUCH a well developed tool #pinball #datingsim #indiedev #indiegame #godot #pixelart #3ds
