What is more important in a good VN, the art or the writing? One can argue for both sides of the argument, but it's fair to say that they are both important, the two fundamental blocks in which this kind of interactive story sustains itself. I've already talked a lot about the ideas and constraints

This is the final post I had planned in the series of articles about GGGB vs ORS. I've talked about many elements of what constitutes both games and my process on creating them, and last one is the cast of characters.

The game was more of a playground for th

One of the things that made GGGB unique was the female POV of the story. Most adult VN are written and played by men, so it’s natural the male POV is the prevalent one. When I started GGGB there were a few female POV games out there, but most of them were, how to put this... not too well done. Writi

It's been a while since Good Girl Gone Bad was finished and Our Red String started development. Looking back on my first game and deeper into the second one, I can't help but compare them and see what lessons I can extract from thet. The structure and gameplay mechanics in ORS are very similar to th
