Re: Voice Acting?

From my experience, voice acting can be good when you have professionals, but we don't have those. Pro voice actors tend to cost a LOT of money, and it's still hard to get the voices right, so we'd really need to go for top rank, going for really famous and talented voice actors. One could say... we...

I am kind of curious where you got that brain with a band-aid idea from... what made you assume that?

Re: Voice Acting?

As the aforementioned audio friend, I have to say I am currently not planning to include voice acting. This is of course not set in stone, but it is really hard to find good voice actors who do their stuff for free (and not even I can make a bad voice actor sound good), and the file volume of the ga...

Re: What software are the devs using?

xD It's really not that complex. My Macbook has Logic Pro as a mixing software. CME VX5 is mainly a keyboard that also includes a MIDI interface and a D/A transformer (that is, you put analog signal in, digital USB signal comes out) and a small fader row; my Yamaha is a normal stage keyboard that I ...

Re: What software are the devs using?

Sooo, I finally got a new Laptop, so better late than never:
As a composer, I use a Macbook with Logic Pro 9 and the Logic Studio Suite for sampling and sequencing, a CME VX5 for MIDI support and D/A transforming and a Yamaha PSR 740 as an additional hardware sampler.

Hmm, we could make only three endings that only differ by the color of an explosion and then offer extra endings as DLC?

(Nah, just kidding.)

Re: Isn't this copying Shock Cocoon?

Hmm, the way I see it, while it's nicely done, it's a horror VN... and treating mental disorders more as a spooky horror device than a realistically portrayed character trait. I think our approach is different enough from that.

Re: Consent issues?

We're taking great effort to make sure that all the characters are capable of full consent and that no exploitation whatsoever will take place. I've seen this point a lot of times already, and seeing how I suffer from a number of disorders myself, I feel the notion that I shouldn't be allowed to exp...

True, but the KS devs weren't accused of ripping anyone off.
Which is actually funny, since we are creating everything from scratch while KS was based on a "Schuppen Harnische" manga doodle from Raita... xD

Re: Mental Disorders that Would Work in Mentaru Shoujo

Gloom, very interesting idea you have there with the Nymphomania. I really like your approach, and I fullheartedly agree to your analysis of the disorder, even if I don't have own experiences with people who have it. We shall see. :3 About the Kenji thing: I'm sorry if I came across as trying to pul...

Re: Mental Disorders that Would Work in Mentaru Shoujo

Wow, you really have some very good ideas going there, guys! Of course I can't tell anything about what we've already planned so far, but it's very nice to see that much support and input :) On a similar note - that "Let me show you my anti-Feminist bunker" thing was also a thing that really bugged ...
