Some stuff I've been wondering about the VN: 1. Since it's mostly being told from Kyon's perspective, are you planning on having him appear on-screen during his lines, or is he going to be treated like a typical VN protagonist? 2. What is the default screen size you're thinking of using? 3. Multiple characters on screen at once, or just one at a time? |

2. Beats me. 3. Multiple people on screen at once is a given for the group scenes, but I think most of the dialogue Kyon has is one on one conversation.

Anyway, thanks for the advice. Quote:
If we can do it, whatever resolution widescreen is. Because fullscreen is for losers like me with an CRT monitor. Quote:

I think VNs designed for widescreen have a windowed size of 800x600. Lessee, the typical amount of characters that can be on-screen at once in a VN (or at least, the ones I've played) is 3, so that gives something over 200 pixels of width per character, depending on how much space you want to leave between them. Usually visible down to their thighs, depending on how tall the character is. The character files in Ren'Py are .png, but I'm not sure how indicative that is of typical VNs... I'll have to check Blade Engine for more information. |

I'd prefer to not rely on interludes/alternate perspectives however, given that part of the reason Haruhi is what it is (and why it can be such a mindfuck if treated properly) is the incredibly limited perspective. In other news, here's some rewrite material. Now stop complaining that I don't write anything. Spoiler for Boredom Part I dun remember:
Now I need to come up with something for the cheerleading scene. Since Kyonko won't stand for wearing an outfit like that, we're left with the FUCK YEAH OUENDAN from that one doujin... The problem is how to get this to work, as the female team isn't going to be affected by young men in gakurans as the male team was by young girls in skimpy outfits. I'll come up with something, but suggestions would be GREAT. |

I couldn't help but think of that on Motteke! Sailor Fuku! when I read it.
In other news, attempting to make a theme has been slowed down due to my computer being a bit fucked up and the akwardness mentioned in the group discussion. Last edited by Joe4evr; 2009-03-19 at 03:41. |

The opposing team are so disturbed from seeing a shouting maniac and a crying shouta that the pitcher starts throwing balls and fouls. This encourages Haruki, going, "You're doing GREAT KYON! Let me reward you<3!" and starts striping like Hosaka, exposing his chest and the macho cliche dragon motif underlining embroidery in his gakuran. That shocks and pisses off the opposing team, and they start getting real serious... And in that universe; the opposite gender versions of ourselves are posting in the Haruki Suzumiya no Seitenkan forum. |

This is why you don't get me to write baseball scenes. I KNOW NOTHING Guess that gets changed, though I still did want Kyonko to have some concern for him, and I thought that would be the right way to do it. Poor Muttsuuru gets no love then. |

Muttsuuru just looks worse because he's SO UNMANLY. But I guess that works. |

Kyon started flipping out because the pitcher threw a fastball. I think almost hitting Mitsuuru would be enough.
Alternative: Keep Mitsuuru getting hit, but have Haruki get out by a fly ball. His motivation here is to show off for Kyonko, and making a "stupid mistake" like that would be enough to put him in a foul mood like the one Haruhi waws in after Kyon struck out... and somehow have him blame it on Mitsuuru. Now, I didn't say it was a good idea, just an alternative
