Re: [lojban] Re: Lojban Kids' Show/Comic

[Sid <cntrational@gmail.com>]

Well, in my experience, good visual novels generally have fairly
involved plots, usually about the interactions between characters
(naturally, since most dialogue is spoken/thought); they usually end
up being very touching and emotional. The kids show plot, in
comparison, seems a bit...middling.

Additionally, most people who're going to read this are adults --
while they might read the game to help with their Lojban learning,
wouldn't it be better to make something that has an engaging plot and
story? Something that would really *motivate* them to continue
reading, to see what happens next -- and if you want to see what
happens next, you have to learn Lojban. That seems like a better way
of going about things, to me.
