    A quote a day

    In one case, perhaps a mass purge of the kind Stalin did in the USSR. The other a man with nothing to lose near a portable nuclear bomb. In both cases it's fucked.

    Pacing advice requested

    Clichés of sick people

    Okay, that could be one of the points of the chapter. Writing about sleeping all day is not fun. Your comment is very useful, thank you very much. Having her not know what to do either sounds like an excellent idea. It is a filler chapter. One of calm among others of action, something for the...

    What are the best places on Earth to reference when designing dungeons?

    A big hospital. Or even better, use material from the backrooms has inspiration, they are too surrealism but at the time are things that everyone has a vague memory of being there. I think that's excellent for a attractive dungeon design in the real world

    Reader Vs Author

    I am not against reviews. After all people should know the quality of a product beforehand before investing money or in this case time. But if I have a lot against people who give negative reviews, "because nothing can be perfect" then it is their duty to lower the rating. People who only give...

    Convert novel into Kinetic novel using twine or renpy?

    My original novel I wanted to make it a visual novel. It was a nightmare to write, having to find all the best resources I could, music, art, everything freehand. But the hardest part is how limiting it is in terms of writing the environment. The most important part of a visual novel is the...
