Creating a VN is a worthy quest, I'll help with my Photoshop/illustrator skills and knowledge of idioms and tropes.

The Lounge / Re: So what is everyone listening to?
« on: July 30, 2013, 03:59:25 pm »
I'm a fan of the classics, so usually I listen to a lot of Rush, mostly the old albuns like Farewell to Kings, 2112 and Moving Pictures. Also a fan of Led Zeppelin, The Yardbirds, Queen and so on.
When I'm flying I like to some jazz, like Tina Brooks and Miles Davis. If I listen to Rock while flying I get too careless and my engineer starts cursing me for charging a galleon Broadside with my squid while humming Fly by night.

We should at least define the plot elements, themes and main history, We can do this without an Artist. If you build it, they will come.

International Community Boards / Re: Suggest a community board here!
« on: July 24, 2013, 06:46:21 pm »That sounds like a good idea. Anyone to second the request?I Second it.
There is a small community of Brazilians players, and some Portuguese ones. They are not too active on the forums, but it can change with a Portuguese board.
Also, I'm a native Portuguese speaker, if you guys need help with something about the boards, let me know.

Instead of Sex as a Rite of Passage as is common o most Visual Novels we should have A Gunner as a Rite of Passage.

A Guns of Icarus Visual Novel would be the stuff of legends.
The main character can be a sky captain and instead of romancing women he would romance ships, it would be awesome.
Think about it, there story starts with a new Sky Captain in search for a ship to love, he has several options:
A bossy Pyramidion that wishes to control the sky docks and has a lot of fire power, but deep down has a good heart. Is the vanilla route, the Sky Captain must help her to move beyond the Gat/Flak combo.
A loud and obnoxious Galleon with twin hwachas that is best friends with the pyramidion, she just wants to have fun all the time and does not care about the serious side of life. The Sky captain must convince her that double hwachas are cool but theres more to life than that.
A Athletic Junker with a upbeat personality and her friend the Mobula, an odd ship with hidden depths. The crazy upbeat route, mostly involves absurd situations and insane builds.
There's a depressive broken Spire that is always sad and fears the Pyramidion. After she was broken she does not trusts captains anymore, and the Sky Captain must win her trust.
A wise and classy goldfish that tries to help the spire. This routes is kinda kiky and has lots of spicy builds and ship on ship action.
And finally, a cheerful Squid that gives insight to the Sky captain, and acts as a Greek Chorus during the game.

It even says, in a sort of 'inside the mind of the character' "I shouldn't of done that" or "perhaps running after her was a bad idea". In that case re load the savestate at the choice.If you want to create a VN this link is for you:
EDIT: Oh, and looking at the game, each character only has a handful of positions and emotes, so in terms of production cost, it wouldn't be that much of a deal in comparison to any other form of game. The only simpler form of entertainment is a 'Choose your path' book. You'd just need a committed artist, writer and programmer with some simple software. Heck, Sunder, we could probably make a low-level version of one of these games. It would be terrible, and would of course include many references, but the community'd probably be able to make it.

Its the same software that the folks at 4 Leaf Studio used to create Katawa Shoujo, its very simple to use.

Gameplay / Re: So, about those Double Hwachas
« on: July 23, 2013, 03:54:52 pm »
Why where you facing the broadside of a Galleon? Never ever face the broadside of a Galleon, that thing has some major blind spot in front of the ship and at the rear, thats where you have to be.
And I don't think you must be close to a galleon when using twin Artemis, just stay far away and you can probably disable the galleon with a good gunner (or a not so good one, it is a huge target) and an ally can finish it.

Q&A / Re: Can't find the right ship
« on: July 23, 2013, 11:30:17 am »
I used to have a Gat/Flak Pyramidion. But i was not very happy with it, tried to fly a Goldfish and a Junker but i was terrible at it. I was probably like you, trying to find my place on this game.
What I did? During one raining Saturday I played as engineer/Gunner on some games, tried to fly on different ships every time, took notes on the strategies, weak and strong points and asked a lot of questions, after a single afternoon of flying on random crews I found that the Squid is the ship for me, been using it ever since.

« on: July 23, 2013, 11:18:29 am »Relax man,Shizune freaks me out.
Look at what she did to Hisao: she tied hum up and raped him just because she was bored, made it look like a romantic surprise and got away with it. Hisao could have died since he has a weak heart, but Shizune does not care. She is like a Ayn Rand character stuck on a Kawaii world.
Wait wait wait.
You guys... are playing a game about rape?
That's...not even a little cool.
My post is a small inside joke to those who played the game, there's no rape. probably
Katawa Shoujo at a first glance raises several red flags, after all it is a Visual Novel about handicapped girls that started on 4chan. But actualy its a very well written and tactful.
KS is very interesting, the characters have life and the dialog can be amusing, but the story is very formulaic, it is a classic monomythic coming of age tale, you know the drill:
Young lad lives a normal life, but then something happens, in this case a heart disease, and he is forced to go to a new world, in this case a special school. There he finds new freedoms and new trials, meet new friends and foes. Then he meets a special someone that challenges him on new ways, then there is sex as rite of passage, then there's a trial of fire and finally the lad becomes a man and it is time to return home and back to the known world. And the story ends.
This post getting way bigger than necessary, so I'll end it. I tend to get carried away when discussing medias that I like.

Hey There bro.
I'm not on a Clan but I have a nice crew with two others Brazilian dudes, if you want to join us for a match or two, we can teach you the ropes and tricks of the trade, and we can fly some matches while speaking the glorious Portuguese language just send me a message.
We are a easygoing bunch, mostly we chat by skype during matches.
Time can be a bit of a issue, but we can adapt.
