Horror doesn't work in anime because of the art. It's too cute, vibrant, smooth. You need to rough it up to be scary. Manga does horror better

Protagonist and main character are not the same. An MC is just your readers / watchers view while a protag is the actual hero of the story

For some reason I thought Detective Kobayashi was an anime. And that it had a visual novel. Maybe I was thinking of a different show

My thesis project in college also inspired my mystery visual novel. The idea of a group of friends, in a classroom, working towards something

Decided to spend Christmas playing Persona 3 all day. Been awhile since I played games. Merry Christmas to you and your family

Hardy Boys and The Famous Five are what inspired me to make a murder-mystery visual novel. I read them as a kid in the school library

The execution is more vital than the idea. The best anime don't have the most original ideas. They're just done really well. Execution beats ideas

I have a patron who's been giving $1/month for 7 years even after my anime site closed 4 years ago. I emailed him to stop but he didn't reply
-
One possibility for him not replying is that he's changed his e-mail address, 7 years ago he may have been still in school and had what he thought then was a 'cool' e-mail address but when he left school and entered the big world of work he realised that his 'cool' address didn't look quite as cool on a job application or CV so he got himself a new one. A couple of my younger friends have done this.
Another possibility is that he either doesn't check his bank statements very carefully or he doesn't have time to visit your site any more and thinks it is still running and is happy to continue to contribute to it.
How you stop the payments is quite a problem because if he's set up a regular payment to you with his bank only he can stop the payments.

Anyone knows how to clean a sticky mouse? I already tried microfiber cloth with isopropyl alcohol.
-
What kind of mechanism is it? I’m a fan of optical mice or trackballs.
If it is an optical ball mechanism then there will likely be 3 little nubs in the ball cavity that need to be cleaned as well. I usually use a cotton swab to dislodge the gunk that accumulates around the nubs and makes the ball stick. Alcohol optional.Try not to get anything on the laser/sensor window. If that gets fogged or blurred/smudged by debris then it can cause the ball to mis-track as well. I once made the mistake of “cleaning” the window on my trackball mouse with a swab contaminated by the nub gunk. I wound up smudging it instead and it took a bit of work to clean it enough for it to track well again. The window is usually hidden behind the ball and well protected from dust etc. so usually I leave it alone. 99 times out if 100 just cleaning the ball with a cloth and the nubs with a swab (or even just your finger) is all it takes.

One last background and I can launch the demo for my serial-killer mystery visual novel. So excited!
-
Visual novel backgrounds are weird. They take a long time to make. But players only look at them for seconds.
-
My visual novel was inspired by Telltale's The Walking Dead. Specifically the story and character relationships. And It's basically a 3D visual novel anyways.

I'm looking for visual novel testers. People who are fans of detective murder-mysteries set in a highschool. PM me or comment below. Thank you so much!

Finished with the plot for my murder-mystery serial killer visual novel. Not done with writing though as I have to finish the plot for my webtoon now. Working on multiple projects isn't usually recommended but it is darn fun.

Started watching mystery videos on You Tube. I need some ideas so I can come up with a good mystery story. Unfortunately, I also came across some creepy real-life mysteries....
-
Oh man, I am also trying to write a mystery book. I would recommend watching some mystery anime to inspire, currently I am trying to find some good ones for myself I haven't already seen but Higurashi is imo the greatest mystery anime ever; you should watch that if you haven't already, it's sure to get the creative juices pumping.
I want my mystery book to be based around the historical Unit 731. Some real disturbing stuff. Anyway, gl.
