Guest of the Moon Princess: CYOA Story - FIXED!
Hello Purvis:
Got to the end with only one death. Fuckin' Tewi
About the only complaint I have is that explanations are taken without a break in text. Like this: ""Well, you're here now. What does she have you doing? Really? Best of luck with that. The moon princess hasn't been in much of a having-guests mood ever since the banquet got out of hand."
Doesn't flow all that well. Instead it just sorta looks like they're talking to themselves.

Kita!! ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!
So, I assume you'll get working on those storyboards and outlines soon. :V And then there's the issue of artists but I guess we can deal with that when it comes :V

I'd be happy to learn how to write a script for a VN. I'm guessing the information is available online somewhere.

--- Quote ---# A storyboard: This is to outline how everything will happen. The basic format should be something like this:
Start
Fade in
Play musicZUN
Show background1
Show lines 1 to 10 (in the notepad++ document with your story)
Transition to background2
Show line 11
Show Happy chen
Play CHEEEEEN sound effect
etc
(funny enough this is basically how Ren'Py code works)
Now this might be kinda time consuming, so you don't have to outline every little thing. You can shorten it up a bit an generalize at some parts. For instance you can say stuff like, "generally use Chen!happy except whenever she is sad use Chen!sad" "whenever Ran chengasms play CHEEEN sound effect" etc, and then leave all the hard work to me :V.
You can also specify things like transitions, text color, fonts, screen effects (like all the flashy stuff in Umineko), whatever else you can think of, and I'll do my best to incorporate it into the VN.
Oh yeah another note, you can also specify the text to either be at the bottom of the screen, or cover the whole screen.
# An overall outline: This is only necessary if you want to make a multipath story where the reader makes choices and stuff. Basically I need a flowchart of what choices lead to what paths and so on.

This is what I need. Remember to have your story in a notepad++ file so I know which line your talking about. If for w/e reason you can't do this, then you'll have to specifically refer to what lines your talking about with either excerpts or just copypasting it.

Alright, I can do that. I'll have a better idea about the time frame on Tuesday.
