The one thing that gets on my nerves more than when a work is considered "less interesting" just because the protagonists comes out alive, happy and sane...

...is when a work is labeled "not dark enough" to be interesting in the first place.

WHAT?

Question: Why do I only ever show the art and screenshots of my VN games? Why not the code?

TLDR: There's not really anything to show beyond that, as Ren'Py is a very "default" engine that I rarely ever stray from.

Long answer in article below.

Y'know, a VN story doesn't always have to have a deeper message or immersive gameplay behind it. It can literally just be an expression.

TLDR: Kinetic novels can be just as cool as visual ones - "easier" to build, but "harder" to pull off.

So it looks like "Heaven's Flag" is currently in the lead to become my next Ren'Py project...which gives this post excellent timing.

There is an ultra-fine line between misrepresentation and artistic license...on which I give my take in the article below.
