An idea I'm working on now is a type of text-based choose-your-own-adventure style game. It takes place in a fantasy world that is divided up into large square plots of land, like a checkerboard. Each plot of land has it's own "Lord", who is immortal and rules over it. The player takes on ...

Choice of Adventure is another language you could use...but you could also easily use Ren'py for a Choose Your Own Adventure game. But it seems that more than a programming language, you want an easy place to advertise your works, is that correct? No, I'm just trying to start at the absolute most b...

Evidently there is. That sure makes me look stupid. Here's the main stuff I've found thusfar. Forum: http://twinery.org/forum/ Sites where you can upload Twine stories: http://textadventures.co.uk/ http://www.philome.la/ I still don't know all of the different types of programs / sites for interacti...

Does anyone know of any good programs or sites that allow you to create simple choose-your-own adventure stories. For people who might not be familiar with the medium, it's entirely text-based with branching options that take the story in different directions. I'm looking into Twine now, but I have ...

Thanks Trooper. Oh, I thought of something else. I want to see more VNs that use different writing styles. I realize that there are reasons that first person present-tense is so common, but it's a really weird style. And I don't necessarily think it would feel weird to have stories written in the pa...

I think it's a very interesting idea.

I got a copy of Walking Dead after hearing mostly positive buzz, and because there are few adventure games for portable game systems. I've thought about starting it. However, I'm not sure if I will end up liking it. I admit that this uncertainty is because of my admittedly unrealistic worries. My a...

Actually, I think the opposite. The first two episodes were strong and the third was decent, but the last two were a mess. The main reasons I disliked the first episode were that in my opinion it was very short, it did a poor job of explaining what happened in the time between the two seasons, and ...

On the one hand I eventually want to see really complex, mature, unique stories that use the medium of visual novels to do unique things. But before we get there, what I think we really need is just really weird crap. Like just completely insane experimental stuff that is mostly terrible, but it pus...

Oh man, I love Riven, it's one of my favorite games! In my opinion Myst is kinda... not too good. The puzzles are really simple, they flat out give you the answer in many cases. The different worlds you visit are really unique and cool, but honestly none of them feel like real fleshed-out worlds. Bu...

Is it okay to discuss these here? I haven't done my research, but I can only assume that there's been a lot of argument over whether The Walking Dead counts as a visual novel or if it even counts as a game. But I don't think any of that particularly matters because by almost any definition it fits u...

I've been trying out Baldur's Gate, Wasteland 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The Fall, and Payday 2. I probably should try to focus on just playing one, but I'm distracted easily. It was probably Crusader Kings 2 with the Game of Thrones mod active. That is generally my go to game when I wanna burn t...

Hmm. Well, I don't want to make things overly complicated. But I'm about to. I think that sometimes there's a difference between a show that you personally really enjoy watching, and a show that's well-crafted. For instance, I'm a big fan of Hajime No Ippo, but overall I think it has some major prob...

Hey there. So I'm new and stuff. I'm really interested in visual novels and I want to try making some. But in all honesty I haven't ever finished any project I've started and I don't have much talent or work ethic or really any positive traits at all, if I'm being honest. But I don't know, I'll try ...
