I have a million billion ideas for the grand Tolkienesque fantasy epic I'm definetly gonna write some day… But I've only actually written some notes and a few assorted paragraphs that I'm just too embarassed to read again. So basically same as it ever was for me

I want to write a graphic novel based on a bunch of vignettes from my life but I suck at drawing so its really demoralising

use ai. for a story to work you don't need perfectly matching characters or surrounding as long as your storytelling fixes these flaws. if you're autistic about it then see this step as a draft and not as final product. still the draft allows you to get into the process and produce something

I'm more of a scriptwriter. Have a bunch of ideas for cartoons, and I am even making one myself right now, but I won't reveal what it is. I don't really know what to do with all the other ideas, for now I'm just keeping them for future use. The cartoon I'm making is an enthusiastic endeavor, it's indie. Do I need to have the education at some institution that teaches how to write to score a job as a scriptwriter? Or will a good portfolio do? I've read so many books on writing, so I'd say I know what I'm doing, sorta.

i write screenplays for work and it's…. so so fun haha…

What kind of crimes did you want to commit?

I haven't watched it yet but I'm interested to see it. I never planned a mass casualty event but I did plan violence as a fucked up kid

>>38878
I had fantasies about killing classmates, teachers, my own mother, and suicidal thoughts too. But I never planned a mass shooting, of course, especially since I don't live in the US, and in the shithole I live in, civilians don't have easy access to firearms. But this movie intrigued me, because I always thought edgy and violent thoughts were common in teenagers, but I guess I'm just mentally broken and spent more time than I should have on the internet.

It's got a lot of good things going for it. I liked how it examined how fractured, isolating and bizarre 21st century culture can be, while not all but saying "we're doing this" (a la Adolescence). Perhaps Rachel's immediately hyper-hostile reaction was a little overblown, and makes her character feel more like a living narrative device than an actual person. Nevertheless, it's great, and if you haven't you should probably go and see it. Preferably without, sitting two rows in front of you, a man who kept throwing his hands in the air and putting them on his head in shock every time something happened in the film, like I did.

Also "the twist" people kept talking about is called an "inciting incident". That's not a twist unless you think with the heist in Die Hard, or the dinosaurs getting loose in Jurassic Park, are twists.

Why would a DJ having a substance abuse problem be a downside? I'm not paying you to DJ my event if you don't have one.

Off-topic but I can't wait for Moonlight Syndrome to get translated.

>>38875

Better late than never. Tysm, listening just now and it's amazing! Blessed be <3

ETHS, Obscure Sphinx and Orphan Hate (disbanded)
Nightwish is very mainstream

None of them are my cup of tea tho lol

>>37600
>both power and black metal
Do you listen to Dimmu Borgir? Vektor?
Vektor disbanded because the vocalist beat his girldfriend bloody in a fit of rage or something yikes

>>36661
La Torture Des Tenebres, one woman band from canada, mixes raw black metal with dark ambient and sometimes introduces industrial influence. I recommend the album IV - Memories of a Machine girl, its a concept album of a more futurustic dystopia.

omg thank you nona this sounds exactly like my taste!!

I watched the anime, and the 2D modeling with a 3D aspect is actually quite interesting. It's a shame it's so old and so dark that there were times I couldn't understand what was happening on screen. The only thing I could understand from the story was that Malice no longer wanted to exist as a sexbot in an unhealthy environment and needed to break free. I won't even comment on the hypersexualization of the characters, because, you know, it's an old and obscure anime, I kind of should have gotten used to it or simply stopped watching cartoons designed by Asian moid.

"I kind of should have gotten used to it or simply stopped watching cartoons designed by Asian moid."
That made me laugh out loud. I'm glad you found the visuals interesting, even if the story was confusing. The themes of artifical lifeforms, objectification of the female body, the inherent horror of mortality are what stood out to me.

>>38038
But I found it really sad, even though the anime isn't that deep. I'm emotional and a crybaby, and I found the sexbots wandering aimlessly through a run-down red-light district particularly heartbreaking. I also found Malice kissing the bot who worked in the plumbing and the way she treated Heather very sweet. But the anime has that old hypersexual tone of 90s cyberpunk anime. Men are already a bit weird, to say the least, but Japanese anime seems even more so. There are few anime I've seen in which women and girls aren't hypersexualized, although I don't like to make a big deal out of that kind of thing, because I think it gives too much power to the "malegaze"

I watched the first chapter on youtube. It really has a 90s/early 2000s feel. I like it but I don't get why being raped by a machine made Malice human.

I’ve been getting into all these old 3d cgi things

>>38646
so, bagel girl but she doesn't turn hot?
if uglymug, epicfighter got an adaptation, something like what you want probably could too, if it got enough support.

>thinks vn girls are actually pretty
>Vn
Try getting serializations first.
Or a fucking cosplay. On a goddamn bike. Or transformer.

>I really wish there was a visual novel game that features an ugly female protagonist
Otometeki Koi Kakumei Love Revo (an otome game) features a female protagonist who is fat and ugly, but the goal of the game is to lose weight :/ That's the closest I can think of.
https://vndb.org/v3549

On the western side, there's Sword Daughter, a really short otome game on Steam that has a very western art style (not in a bad way, though). Tyrna the protagonist isn't exactly what I'd call "ugly", but rather, a bit "plain", although some would say the art style makes her look ugly simply because they think realistic = ugly. The main love interest is a pretty elf guy, but to be honest, the romance elements aren't very strong, but I liked it a lot nonetheless. Iirc it's an adaptation of a real choose your own adventure book or something like that, which imo, gave it a distinct feel different from your average anime-inspired OELVN.
vndb.org/v16561

There's another otome OELVN called Yrsa Major where the protagonist is a woman who's not conventionally attractive. She's a big and strong lumberjack who wants nothing but to protect her poor village. Although you probably won't like it if you hate unconventionally attractive submissive ojisan characters kek. It's an absurdly specific niche that caters to my preferences, but I know there's plenty of women who would find it disgusting (although to be fair he's a magical being that took on that form for no particular reason other than being the dev's fetish, so he isn't really an older man). If you don't mind this though, you'll probably like it because it's an extremely comfy VN!
https://vndb.org/v31602


Don't know if you're interested but there have been a lot of indie Japanese otome games (many of them free) where you can't see the protagonist at all (or you can only see their arms sometimes), POV-style. But of course you're gonna have to know Japanese or use something like VNR to read them lol.

>I'm honestly debating making one on my own but idk where to start
Start by writing the story, worry about the art, music and programming later. Making a simple VN on Ren'Py is easy as shit.
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

I've been thinking about making one of my own and the protag would definitely be ugly

you should make it! renpy is free and there is a lot of tutorials out there. i would play it 100%.

seems like the world still does
