💯A Voice From Gaza Needs Your Attention

This post was vetted by @gaza-evacuation-funds _friends, @el-shab-hussein @a-shade-of-blue and @dlxxv-vetted-donations.Vetted by association here Please help however you can!

I'm not here to beg or list every detail -because even an entire newspaper wouldn't be enough. The images on TV screens and the stories you see online already tell you so much about what we endure. But no matter how much you see, you'll never truly feel what we feel. And I wouldn't wish this life on anyone.

How You Can Help

In this moment of despair, I reach out to you-not just as a stranger, but as a fellow human being.Our humanity connects us, and compassion knows no boundaries. Your kindness, no matter how small, can bring a glimmer of hope to our lives, shattered by war.

Asking for help is not easy, but we were left with no choice because we want to survive and we strive to rebuild our broken lives. We are very grateful for any help you can provide, no matter how small, as your help will contribute greatly to

How To Make Your First Visual Novel

I'm yet again in a talkative mood, and as someone who has made/helped make over ten visual novels, I figured I would be Qualified™ to talk about it!

Step One: Pick Your Fighter... er... Engine!

Deciding the game engine you want to work in is the first step to having a game! Ren'Py is the most popular, free-to-use engine for visual novels, with tons of add-ons done by creators such as Devil Spiδεr and Feniks. Other commonly-used engines include Naninovel (an extension to Unity) and RPG Maker.

Step Two: Wait, What Goes In The Engine?

Whodathunk that for a visual novel, you need a story and visuals!

Clip Studio Paint has a series on making visual novel sprites, though any old art software works for making visual novel art. As for writing, I highly recommend Better Fountain, an extension to Visual Studio Code which enables to you to write in Fountain syntax. For music, I recommend Audiostock which gives access to hundreds of thousands of songs with their subscription service.

Step Three: But What Do I Do With All Of This?

Spoilers, your first visual novel... probably won't be your best. You have to make it to break the first timer's curse. Study your favorite visual novels, listen to other developers' processes, learn more about art/writing/music/etc., and remember that it doesn't have to be perfect. In a year of making visual novels, my work went from the left image, to the right:

You can do it too! Now go out there, and make visual novels!

Me; I'm going to continue working on my fan comic!! >:)

Also me; Fuck that, I'm going to make silly sketches of Easter and Iggy!

Me internally; ...What-

🩵🤎🩵🤎

someone pls help. OW x Easter crossover is flooding my head now.

W.I.P Chapter 1 (of fanfic):

Freaky ass door knob.

Arc 2 Deleted Boat scene. Trust trust.

;3;

Day 28: Add a new Arc??

Honestly, probably not as I don't think OW needs a new arc. HOWEVER, if there was a new arc, I have a small idea on it.

ARC 4.1: Alone.

An Arc where Iggy takes matters into his own skinny palms. Like, he went to their wonderland alone (on the day Hunar called him.)

Like, Iggy completely ventures alone into Our Wonderland without calling Genzou, Gidget or Orlam. Where he would go through the same process, a little, until he finds Bucks (which he doesn't until later on). Though, I wonder what types of trouble he'll get into, with no help whatsoever.

ORRR, if somehow Iggy gets corrupted himself, due to their Wonderland time working differently and how the trio (Genzou, Gidget and Orlam) would react to Iggy being corrupted.

Honestly, if Iggy does get corrupted, I'd imagined him as some White King. I would imagine trying to force everyone to stay in Wonderland to keep them all happy, until Genzou would try and snap Iggy out of it. Though, due to the Wonderland's influence on a corrupted person, I think Iggy would snap. Not in a 'Oh my lord, what have I done' snap, more like a 'are you fucking kidding me? After everything I did for you guys' snap.

Hmm.

Iggy being corrupted sounds a bit interesting, at least to me.

Day 24: Where would I add a CG??

Honestly, I just want to see a fully CG (drawn scene??? ;3;) of when Gidget shut Genzou and Orlam up in Arc 5, where they're at the cabin.

So, if I had some voodoo moodoo magic, I'll definitely add a drawn version of that scene.

Also, I don't have any personal CGs that I want in OW nor know where to put them (if they existed). So. Lol- Haha Lol- cries- dies.

Relatable 😞

How my family look at me after I give my honest 'opinion'

(I'm already running out of pages....)

Day 6: what side game your fave??

I love the Last Dance. Maybe because it showed us what had happened with Orlam and Genzou in the room while Iggy was trapped.

And the music 👌.

I fucking love the music that I'm still looking for the name of it till this day. Sorry if I got the name wrong, I wrote this at 2am.

Day 6

Which OW side game is your favorite?

Ohhhhh... this is so difficult... because all of them hold a special place in my heart for different reason AND they all taught me SO much (which is why making shorter games is honestly so good as a dev because you get to experiment with and try so many new things!).

Our Fantastic Wonderland will always mean a great deal to me. It taught me much of the animation work I've continued to expand on today. It was my first side game (and first sillier game). And ofc it won Spooktober. The night of the awards feels like a dream to me. I still can't believe it happened lol.

Then all my O2A2 games, each of which is so different and taught me different things. T2A2G is still my most popular game to date and got me through one of the hardest weeks of my life. StLD helped me push my animation skills even further. And WTaW is very near and dear to me as my self-indulgent little baby LOL

But I think the side game that makes my heart burn the brightest is OC. I worked on it during a time when I greatly needed to step away from the main game. And it was just so so silly and fun to work on and even made me cry (while working on the Genzy ending lol). Also it taught me SO MUCH I never thought I'd be able to do and is easily my most advanced game when it comes to all the code and script work that had to be done. I love it to bits and still often go back to relive some of the silly convos.

DAY 25: Parts I don't like replaying.

sighs.

Arc 1 - Gidget and Iggy in the Inn.

Arc 2 - Genzou's death

Arc 3 - The Dinner Scene

Arc 4 - Gidget and Iggy in the cabin.

Arc 5 - THE FUCKING TOMATO AMBUSH (Holding a grudge against the red oompa loompas >:/ )
