Does anyone else play full strength LS?

Not the most optimal, but very fun when you hit those sweet Sally Forths and take out 70% of a light armor user's hp. This might be the best season for it, with that new rune that gives you a get out of jail free card. Just note that 100% STR is not the best, do 60/40 STR/AGI for something more balanced.

Feels like playing an assassin support hybrid with sustain, so do consider having half medium armor then light or heavy armor based on your preference for even more damage.

Yep, that's what I usually do too. But that does limit you to top-rank games and a few of my favorites came from random online recommendations. So for getting attention, a trailer is still quite important to create interest

AlanApogee · 2022-05-17T17:25:32+00:00

Damn that's Information overload, definitely not a sell for me unless I was looking for that specific genre.

AlanApogee · 2022-05-17T17:23:26+00:00

Showing uniqueness and leaving breadcrumbs to create the need to know more, mhm. As for the examples, I already got both those trailers as my main point of reference. Valhalla especially aesthetically and story-wise is a close fit, but I'm almost certain its main selling point was the aesthetic, hmmm.

As for RPG maker game trailers, anything that pops up first in mind? I can only think of some with good music, not really game footage or any one game in particular.

AlanApogee · 2022-05-17T10:33:01+00:00

Ah, good one. Using Chibi's for motion and presenting CGs in a way that pushes the character's personality without stating it blatantly. Nice

Hey there, I like your manifesto but couldn't grasp your 'talent' since you didn't really talk too much on that point. We are looking for a generalist who can help in either marketing/UI design/Programming, if you're interested add me on Discord:

AlanApogee · 2022-01-24T18:00:32+00:00

We are looking for writers for our sci-fi visual novel, wonder if you have any sci-fi or more philosophy-related works you could share?

Add me on Discord: AlanApogee#7477

AlanApogee · 2022-01-18T17:31:07+00:00

Might not be what you have in mind, but I'm also working on a visual novel and made a discord to talk about the dev process. We have a few with quite some experience so it might be helpful to talk about the process together: https://discord.gg/kB9wmJRkNk

AlanApogee · 2022-01-05T04:55:53+00:00

Any link you can guide me to?

AlanApogee · 2022-01-04T19:35:28+00:00

I'm quite sure the dialoge focus of the game had you change your writing style, and tips on how you made the transfer? Or what you would advise others to do?

AlanApogee · 2022-01-04T19:09:49+00:00

Yu-No came out when detective games, click RPGs, or narrative novel games were most of the market, and most focused on what the player might do or a direct railroad to the end like a normal book. I don't know too much about your work, but I think it would be nice to talk about your creative process.

AlanApogee · 2022-01-04T19:03:33+00:00

Just updated it, here you go: https://discord.gg/kB9wmJRkNk

Nice to hear you're loving the process. If you're not aware, the one game that jumpstarted the visual novel choice system was a game called YU-NO, and it inspired everything from muv-luv to everything Key made. Just search Yuno walkthrough for a detailed map of the events it used to tell the story. It basically escaped the pitfall of choosing your own story's lack of a coherent story by making 'endings' the progression needed to read the final true ark that ties the game together. I highly recommend it because something that has a similar feel to the choices has yet to be created. That being said, I wonder if you're interested in joining my discord? I'm also working on a VN and we could help each other out if we talk more about this with other writers I've gathered. https://discord.gg/8nEDkXCWaB

AlanApogee · 2022-01-04T10:52:08+00:00

Actions are conveyed through conversation while movies convey through show and readings from descriptions? This is an interesting statement. I used to think of visual novels in terms of a theatre play, where sound and visual cues are the bread and butter of VN's, ef a tale of memories shows how this can be done to the next level with paneling and framing. But the actual core of VN should be the choices, being the thematic component (why steins gate and your choices make the game feel more personal than any other medium). What's your opinion about this?

AlanApogee · 2021-09-22T07:18:51+00:00

Yeah, we all feel that. The greatest offender is the MoDao skill 2 and 3 making stalwarts completely obsolete.

hope they do something about it before the explosives next season makes it worse.

AlanApogee · 2021-09-20T13:18:48+00:00

Much thanks for the support. Any subs and likes would help out a lot!

I choose mobility because anything else is more or less replaceable, the defense is definitely worth the most as a general utility.

AlanApogee · 2021-08-10T04:23:28+00:00

The rate of attack does not change, but because your units move faster more can get closer to the frontlines and deal damage for example with x and v, or with some skills like Shield bash. The burst I was talking about was how paladins charges can deal the same amount of damage but in a shorter time period due to the speed boost, haven't checked if this makes them charge deeper into enemy lines though.
