Thanks.

I know about them, and text novels, but they sound too weeaboo-y.

>>3868934
Nothing, you should have been more elaborate. Should have said 'the wiki link in the sticky'.

>>3868921
It wasn't in the sticky I swear.

Thanks.

So far #bookz hasn't come up with any of these stories.

>>3868889
>>3868890
>>3868891
Aw thanks.

Sadly there aren't any download links for them on the internet ;c

>>3868883
But those are all Samurai stories.

>>3868885
There must be something about life before WWII.

I need some Japanese short stories to read. Preferably something cultural with le maximal feels.

Any suggestions?

Alright I'm going to hit le sack bye for now.

>>3865583
Huh, that's better honestly. Dickensian.

No matter how hard I try, I can't possibly make an RGP game where the character has personality. I hate most JRPGs for this exact reason.

>>3865568
Your mother is an Arab you fuck.

>>3865567
It's funny how you list all the CRPGs wherein the protagonist is a nameless nobody (I haven't played PS: T though I know it's not true about it. Before bashing me for not playing this game, I should tell you I'm not into games which are only five years younger than me).

That's how RGPs work buddy. It's called role-playing, not putting-the-player-in-an-already-established role.

If an RPG character actually has character, it would be a JRPG or shitty le mass effect.

>>3865542
Alright, I'll make a deeper plot. But name one game with good story that isn't weeaboo shit.

>>3865544
Because I want people to read my book.

>>3865547
>I don't agree with his opinions so he must be at troll!

>>3865529
Four months ago.

>>3865530
I've played many games, I know how to make one. Thank you.

>>3865531
Because that's not the plot yet. I might come up with another one, only for the book. The game is going to have a generic plot because who gives a shit about the story? All games are like that, because there can't be anything else.

>>3865525
Because I want some people to actually read the book.

>>3865526
Dude I haven't played a game since Bioshock Infinite. I'm way past the 'gamer' life, I strive to be a producer now.

>>3865519
Alright. I'm currently reading Dear Enemy by Jane Webster. I liked the translation better for some reason, this is why I try to ask people if I'm doing things right. It's as if I'm blind.

>>3865517
As I said I have a thespian mind, what I lack is feeling and having English as my native tongue. So I have to check often.

>>3865513
I said it's going to be a game.

>>3865500
B-but it's for a videogame mainly, people care about the setting and gameplay more than they care about the story. Besides, I already know the story, one guy is washed off the shore, with no memories, tries to make his way back home.

Isn't Golden Compass a children's book, though? I gave up reading ASoIaF after his lengthy descriptions and useless fillers, but I see people criticizing his usage of informal words too often.

>>3865495
Nah actually I think ASoIaF would be better if he had actually run it through a thesaurus.

>>3865499
Get the fuck back /int/ faggot.

It's a world shaped like a flower (ignore the picture, I'm avoiding any allegories). This flower-shaped world revolves like a motor, and the sky is parted in two, one night, one daylight, it takes each bud a week and faces seven stars each day, and seven moons each night.

I haven't decided anything about the cultures yet. It's vast, and I've decided to take a 'Stranger in the New World' approach.

Nothing else I know right now. Mostly been thinking about the gameplay mechanics.

>>3865478
Because people criticize GRR Martin for doing that.

>>3865455
Alright then, avoid pretentious words.

>>3865459
You are right, but as I understand, that books takes place in America and is intended for contemporary readers.

How about fantasy books? They happen in a different world (the one I'm intending to write happens in a high-fantasy setting) so I obviously can't use informal words there.
