Hey, I'm Velawesomeraptors. I can do art stuff (I don't have Photoshop, only Gimp and a tablet) but sometimes I'm bad about checking back with people. If you need me to do something, PM me on Reddit and I will probably get back to you a lot faster. I haven't played any of these dating game things and I'm not a huge fan of shoujo manga but I know some of the terminology. Also it looks like I'm the only girl here sooo... let me know if you want a female opinion on something I suppose. ANOTHER GIRL, HALLELUJAH

Hey GanymedeanOutlaw (gosh, that's a long name) I'd love to read some of your works if they're available Katawa Shoujo (literally crippled girls ) is a free VN that's getting a lot of praise on reddit. It was started by 4chan, so it'll give you an idea of what's going to happen with this project (hopefully). The only things I have on a computer anywhere are some assignments from a creative writing class I took. Here's a couple of them. And I will check out Katawa Shoujo out.

I'm Gresh'Kaal (/u/japanesekanji on Reddit). I enjoy anime, but I don't watch it very often. Mostly if my boyfriend gets me into one. Never played/read a VN, but I've seen someone play one. I guess I kinda don't fit in in respect to those two. However, I do some decent music. I'm in my element most of the time with heavy metal, but I'm also pretty good with electronica and ambient. If you need some music, send me a message, preferably via a PM on Reddit.

I can't really- There- There really isn't much to say about me. I am Bunnerz. I have always been Bunnerz. I will never be more or less than Bunnerz. My "me-ness" is a constant, as I am always equal to one self.
I've occasionally been known to write things. Often horrible or dark, but adorable is a thing I can do, according to some people.
I think I'm out of stuff to say. I'm horrible at introductions.

Hi there, I'm CyanAsian. I'm going to be 17 pretty soon, and am really interested in participating in this project. I have some experience with Clannad and Katawa Shoujo and have watched a fair bit of anime. I can bring my editing and story ideas to the project and (maybe?) my writing. However, I do have friends who are talented at drawing and/or music, so I could ask them for help if needed.

Hi, I'm Torgamous, Reddit username Torgamous. If there's a Torgamous anywhere else that's probably me, it's not a very highly sought after name. Only visual novels I've played all the way through are Katawa Shoujo and Juniper's Knot, but I've started plenty more and I'm familiar with the genre.
I'm not so good at long form creativity, but I can do editing.

Haha, nice to meet you too.
I thought I should add this because it might be relevant: I'm a biologist. Specifically with birds, but I've taken a marine biology class and several other zoology classes. So if you have any ocean-related questions that can't be answered with a cursory google search you can probably ask me. I can also get access if necessary to scientific papers. I don't know how accurate you want this to be, scientifically speaking, but it would be nice if it was at least a little accurate.
Also I wrote about a million scientific papers in college and I'm pretty good at translating normal words into science-words. So if there's a scientist character I can contribute to the dialogue there.

Howdy! Sasquatchii here. I can help with the writing & also possibly the art? I like to draw and tinker around in illustrator and make vector art so maybe I can be useful that way!
I'm also a designer and can help with the UI.

Hi there, I'm snailberg I'm 16 years old (probably younger than most in here) I live in Europe aswell (just wanted to get it out there if timezones and stuff will be a problem) In my free time i am developing small games by myself (I do a whole lot of game designing aswell), watch anime, and play wildstar/league. Since i use an engine to develop stuff, I don't have too much programming knowledge ( i do know some java script and very little python though). But if you need me for anything or think i can be of any use, just contact me and i'll do my best!

Heyo~ I'm f4ngy, 23 years old. I've been meaning to give ren'py a shot so this looks like a great opportunity. What I can bring to the table: - I enjoy creating sound effects ( freesound.org/people/f4ngy/) and would be open to trying voice acting if people are interested in having that in the game - I'm a programmer ( github.com/lle6138) and familiar with using git & github if that's where you'll be hosting - Tablet, photoshop, and mediocre art skills ( i.imgur.com/VxWSDVG.png didn't use photoshop for this obviously xD) - I'm a big fan of visual novels and dating sims so I'd make a good playtester I could also help with writing dialog or coming up with characters (I assume there will be multiple paths?)

Post by SkyLlama on Jul 27, 2014 23:12:10 GMT
Hello All, I go by SkyLlama most places (with the exception of Reddit where I'm /u/compaqxp). I live in Summerside, PEI, Canada and am 21 years old. You can find me in various places online like Reddit, but also VK, IRC (just message SkyLlama on freenode) and YouTube. I'm not very good at English or writing and I'm certainly not an artist, but I am able to program and quite enjoy doing so. I program mainly in Pascal and Python, but I like experimenting in other languages as well and have it in mind to learn C at some point. I've read several VN at this point and absolutely love them, though I do watch some anime now and then. I haven't had any VNs to read lately so I've been working on making my own VN engine, which began after joking with someone on IRC about making one. I'm not as into video games as most people, but I do enjoy a 2d sidescroller now and then and I absolutely love Osu! (a rhythm game). I want to help with programming on this project as it's all I imagine I'll be able to contribute. I have access to all major OS's (Win, Mac and Linux) so I imagine I could help with any cross platform aspects and testing quite a bit too. - I'm a programmer ( github.com/lle6138) and familiar with using git & github if that's where you'll be hosting I'd hope GitHub or something like BitBucket would be used. It's makes things a lot easier to manage compared to other options as you obviously know.

Post by Darthmooster on Jul 28, 2014 7:19:32 GMT
Hello friends! As a quick introduction, I'm currently 18 years old (male) and live in the U.S. (I'll be heading off to college in a month o.O). I'm Darthmooster on basically everything I can think of (add me on League if anyone plays, I'm the best there is). I've seen some anime, but overall I've spent a lot more time with visual novels. I was introduced to VN's when I saw someone post a picture of Alice from MGQ on the League sub in a "wouldn't this be a great Cassio skin" thread. I scrounged around for the source, found MGQ and decided to download it as a joke. That joke turned out to have been incredible. I loved it so much that I dug further into VN's, and, well, here I am now (dear god what have I gotten myself in to). For the record, G Senjou no Maou is my favorite VN and Maou is the best antagonist. Ever17 and Kamidori are close seconds. Anyway, I love to write (I also love to insert side-comments in parentheses) and have wanted to try my hand at making a VN. Unfortunately for me, I possess not one iota of artistic talent. I should probably mention that I tend to be sarcastic and ridiculous, so don't take too much of what I say seriously I'm looking forward to working with everyone!
