I want to create a world, for others to immerse and enjoy. Perhaps to even contribute and develop.

What motivates me the most is moment, when I check up the changes in my game and see there are no mistakes or when I see how the character's lines really show what I intended to show... little successes it's what gives me strenght. Or, when my partner comes with a lot of great ideas...

I'm a daydreamer sometimes. I thought it's really a waste if the stories don't come out from my head. I wanted to make the stories from my head real and get it out alive from my brain.

I don't feel right if the scenes,sounds, characters still in my head but didn't came out to tell the tales. So then I was thinking, why don't I become a writer??

Loving what i do, I code day in and day out, and i enjoy every moment of it.

Though VNs do become a struggle to work on as there isn't really much actual programming needed to be done.

So i guess my answer is love for code?

What motivates me to start? All the ideas. So many ideas and so little opportunities to make something of them. D:

What keeps me going to the end?
Ill let you know when i figure it out. ;-;

I like animes and I feel VN are the closest thing to working with an anime studio.
Will be good if I could draw though. Then I would also be into mangas.
I love writing.
Reading very good VN to be inspired or the other side of the coin read very crappy work to be motivated that you will produce better work.
To keep going to the end you just have to treat it as your life depended on it. A life and death struggle.
Whip yourself everyday you procrastinate.
If that's too extreme just deny yourself small pleasures.

I make VNs because I love both storywriting and games. Building VNs lets me combine the two. I started off trying to write traditional novels before I discovered visual novels :).

Hmm 3 years ago I made a different account here with a friend in hopes to make a game together. We slowly got demotivated though, getting bored and preferred to do other things. However with recent events we talked to each other again with new ideas for a new game. Sometimes I go back to the old topic I had on the other account and cringe at how uncompleted and abandoned it was, I guess because of that I thought I would give it another go, but with a new game.

So, I went up to her about it because I felt like I wanted to produce something worthwhile. If I'm going to major in game design and programming I should at least produce an actual game you know? And an easier way to start for me would be a visual novel or a dating simulator, since it's mostly story based. I needed something to do to pass the time so I thought making games would help. Visual Novels are a combination of both story and art most of the time so I would love doing this.

I guess what motivates me is doing what I love and also thinking about the future comments I would get and how there would be at least one person out there that would like the game. Most of all I'm doing this for my friend, since she's a fan of otome games and I would like to make an otome with her a reality!

I have not even started a VN, but I have finished a number of comics so I can speak to motivation. What motivates me to start a project and see it through to the end is...power. Art is power. The power to affect people's minds. I want to affect as many people as possible, get them to see my point of view.
