Which kind of genre?

#1 Post by ChiriChiri96 »

I'm expected to write four stories for my visual novel, but I'm having a hard time deciding what kind of genre should I choose for my first story. I know this is a weird question, but I need suggestions:
-If you were to play my visual novel, would you like the first story to be a sci-fi comedy or a Wild West based comedy?
Please! I really need your suggestions!

I honestly like both (I have my own story universes that are sci-fi and future-but-no-technology-Western).

Though, I've always been a big fan of Space Westerns so why not combine them?

Just think of like Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Trigun or the TV show Firefly. A lot of the genre has bounty hunters or pioneer-types traveling through space for some goal or just set a planet that humans have moved onto in the future and employed some more Western-type influences in their society when it comes to bars, music, firearms, etc.

uh..thank you I guess?
But I'm not writing about bounty hunters or space pioneers. And it's not going to be in space. I'm writing about "If there was a Wild West with space technology" kind of thing.

Why not set up a Contents page where the player can pick which genre they want to play first?

I personally like love storys and, usually, they are so easy to read.

Could we call them the "fast food" of visual novels?

They are, in my opinion, easy to "don't become in a too long story unpropouse".
