Re: Would you play a visual novel with AI generated art?

But no. I wouldn't touch a vn made with AI art until it can be made without infringing on the rights of human artists. Same. I might make an exception if there's a good artistic reason behind it. Like a game about AI. Or a creepy element of the story, made creepier with distortions and incoherences...

Re: Free BG to Use ~ with Time Variations

Thank you ! My students are learning how to make video games with ren'py, and one of them used your bedroom background. It's very nice and she's really happy with it !

Re: Years of developpement and 25 view on this forum

I don't know if it's the reason but : Your thread title says "Episode 1. Prologue". Personally, I do not consider that { one chapter = completed game } so I would not click on it. A lot of game projects are abandoned before reaching completion after all. And even if they do get finished on...

Re: How to like your main character in a dating sim?

If you're really worried, you can always pivot the game to be a matchmaking game or have friendship routes where the otherwise romantic interests get together instead of with you. Obviously the waifu consumers won't be as pleased with this route, but there are a lot of sappy shippers out there that...

Re: Alone Ending and Heart Systems

This is the last night before the project. Should I call someone? (This choice will determine what route you are on for the rest of the game) Call Mason Then at the end: You got the ending "Hello Nurse!" Call Kai Then at the end of the game: You got the ending "Sun & The Sea"...

Re: Alone Ending and Heart Systems

Alone ending : 👍 This has been done in "cute demon crasher" (https://sugarscript.itch.io/cute-demon-crashers) and it was really thoughtful and nicely done. Heart system: I'm the kind of player who would try talking with everyone, so, yes, I would definitively prefer if the game asked me to...

Re: Named MC?

I definitively prefer a fully-fledged main character, with a name, a past, a personality, an impactful design, ... I know a lot of players prefer a blank slate MC. I think both paths are fine as long as you really commit to it. Don't do things half-way. If you give a name to the MC, make sure that t...

Re: How long is too long?

Sorry to give a non-answer, but this is 100% subjective. When it comes to length, visual novels share the same rules as books. It simply ends when the story ends. If you visit the Visual Novel Database ( vndb.org ) you can find commercial VNs which are 50+ hours long. I would never recommend tackli...

Re: Hello artists! How much do you prefer to charge for art?

I'm afraid no one will really be able to answer your question : every artist charge differently. Rates very a lot.

For the same thing, someone will charge 4$, someone else 40$, I would probably charge 400$, and another artist would charge 4 000$.

Re: The legality of using movie quotes in a commercial game

Legal matters are complicated because it depends a lot of the context. (And the country you live in)

I think that sentence should be alright though. But if you are worried, you could change the wording a little bit ?

[Solved] Help ! Shift + R (reloading the game) doesn't work

Hello, I often used shift + r in the past, but, for a unknow reason, it doesn't work anymore. I do not remember making any change in the files mentioned in the traceback so I'm really confused. I hope someone can help ! I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred. While running game code: File &qu...

Re: Is it possible to earn $5000 a month making visual novels?

Well, it depends of what that amount is meant to be. 1) Money from the sale ? Then, there might be nothing left once you refund what you had to invest into making the game and promoting it. 2) Profits ? Then, depending of the country you live in, you might have to give more than half of it to taxes...

Re: Is it possible to earn $5000 a month making visual novels?

Also take in the fact that $5000 is A LOT. Like how much do you spend a month total (rent, food, car bill, living expenses, etc.)? How much do you want to save into your retirement fund monthly? For a lot of people, even in first world countries, that number is going to be lower than $5000. Well, i...
