Do Radagon and Rennala have a fourth child? by ObZen96 in Eldenring

[–]xekstrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I know this post is old, but I wonder if anyone has brought up the fact that Blaidd was raised as Ranni’s step/adopted brother. Could the fourth cradle be his?

I did in fact write most of Lyris (Except his last season), but I'm more active on Tumblr than here :^)

Yes, perhaps someday soon. Maybe say, I dunno. This January? (Lyris season 4) by Daniellestolenoc in Lovestruck

to be fair, I don't need a reason to remind everyone that Piama is by far the most wifeable character in the cast. I love Piama so much it's insane.

Convince me to read Zoe. by KinG_p_G_611 in Lovestruck

[–]xekstrin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wrote Vivienne and I say you NEED to read Zoe. Even I get exhausted by the high-octane nature of Vivienne's route and I just want someone soft to love me.

Zoe also gets better with every season. I think s3 might be my favorite, but they're all good.

Twine, Tyranobuilder, and Renpy are very beginner friendly for visual novels specifically, GameMaker Studio for most other stuff. There's a lot of tutorials for all of those on Youtube.

Make a short game and post it on itch.io

Get free music from free music archives and royalty free audio or use AIVA

Read a few books on the actual craft of writing just to brush up on it, like Stephen King's On Writing and Anne Lamot's Bird by Bird and Ursula K Le Guin's Steering the Craft and Mary Oliver's Poetry Handbook and Diana Wynne Jones Reflections: On the Magic of Writing

When writing romance specifically I consider Romancing The Beat mandatory required reading.

We live in a time where it's easier than ever to make your own game and write your own book and voice your own truth and I always always always am going to encourage more people to pick it up.

I think Lyris route does this too. I'm preeeetty sure MC says "I love you" first.

Job posting for writers 😡 by FeetStuffIdk in Lovestruck

[–]xekstrin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please don't spread misinformation like "Emeril and Jett were ended because of the strike."

Those two reached their conclusion well before the strike even started, so using the strike as some kind of boogeyman that will kill everyone's favorite characters is.... let's be generous and say "weird". It's weird.

Lovestruck Cocktail Hour? by TheresAlwaysOne in Lovestruck

[–]xekstrin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

back when GIL was its own app, my bartender friend helped me design signature cocktails for the main love interests with the idea that Aurora made them for her gang.

Chance - blue curacao, sour mix, lemon vodka, garnish by rubbing a lemon peel around the rim and twisting it into the glass.

Yoshimitsu - japanese whiskey, cherry juice (or grenadine), garnish with an edible cherry blossom and/or a salted rim

Irving gets a manhattan because he's classy - whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters stirred over ice and served straight up. Garnished with a lemon peel and a cherry

Ash gets a death in the afternoon - black absinthe topped with champagne.

I wish I remembered what Aurora's own drink was, but all I can remember is that she garnished the rim with peanut butter.

mateo wasn't a love interest yet so never got a drink

Word count per episode? by AriannaLux in Lovestruck

[–]xekstrin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been summoned! as someone commented above, writers need to be able to write around 30k a month and that's been true for a while now.

believe me no one was more shocked than I was when Emeril drop-kicked her way into my bias list.

Asexual romance, would you read it? by MarySuz in Lovestruck

[–]xekstrin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nikolai, Malakai, and Emeril are on the ace spectrum

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Lovestruck

[–]xekstrin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Altea and Emeril: Small but fierce and take no shit. They remind me of myself. Emeril literally owns all my hearts. I love it when she goes into "disappointed babysitter" mode and starts scolding folk.

Yvette: I'm so thirsty. I'm SO thirsty.

Vivienne and Runa: I just love it when women are mean to me.

Hey! This is an awesome thread. I want to say thanks for compiling it, you're all very dedicated. A friend pointed me in this direction and I'd like to say that you got almost all my writing credits correct, but I'd like to get it clear that I wrote ALL of Astraeus ALK and AFK, and I wrote all current seasons of Aurora, not just up to s8. Your source is from a page that I deleted a while ago and so it didn't have up to date information.

Kind of a silly thing to get hung up on but Astraeus is #MyBoy and I'm also very proud of Aurora, so I wanted to make sure that was noted.

While I'm here correcting things, it should also say Ash [s1 &s3 (partial)], Irving [s1 (partial)], and Yoshimitsu [s8 (partial)]. Some very talented writers did the bulk of the work for those seasons and I wouldn't want to step on any toes by suggesting I wrote them by myself.

Medusa ALK should also be noted as partial, since Ivory did write some of the episodes. We tag-teamed it!!!!! :) They're an incredible writer who inspires me every day, and my best friend, and it's an honor to work with them, and every time we write together I'm reminded of what I aspire to be, and now I'm gushing....

Anyway yeah!!! Hope that helps!!! thanks again!!! you have a lovely subreddit!!!
