Most of the sprites, backgrounds and CGs in my VN have some simple animation. And with ATL, every frame is an individual image. I don't really mind this but I'm wondering if it could potentially cause problems, with storage or something else, to have hundreds of images in one game.

I've decided I want to commission someone to help write music for my VN, but I'm not sure how much would be a good amount. I only have limited funds but at the same time, I'm an artist who knows how it feels to not get paid a reasonable amount for your work. Most of the music I want is just calm amb...

Solved.

I've finished the first draft of my VN and now I'm feeling a little lost with what to focus on with my second draft. Besides obvious things like fixing grammar and making things a little more concise.

In general, what would you say makes your second draft better than the first?

I think Mutive's advice sounds good, but also, I don't think repetition in itself is necessarily a bad thing. For instance, the Danganronpa games follow a format that's a little bit like what you're describing: in every chapter, the characters just hang out for a bit, then there's an inevitable mur...

I've been working on a murder mystery VN in which the murderer kills multiple times in the first, let's say, 75% of the story before being discovered. (Think, Persona 4.) And I've run into a problem, the murder happens, the characters go through an investigation and then the plot needs to start up a...

I'll try my best to help! :D 1.You'll need a DAW (Digital audio workstation) to make music. Reaper is pretty lightweight and has indefinite trial-version if you're looking for a DAW. 2.Then you'll need some free instruments to load into your DAW. (Even though paid instruments are usually better (du...

Basically what the title says. I'm looking for a way to learn to start making music for my VNs. Only problem is that right now I don't have much disposable income or experience with music. Are there good free/cheap resources to help me start out?

Here's a basic, fly-typed example (somewhat based on Danganronpa's system):

Thanks!

I've been debating whether or not to charge a small amount, (probably $5) for the visual novel I'm making. The story is about 14 hours with 4 endings. There seems to be good reasons for and against making it cost money. The most obvious one being, actually getting paid for the work I'm putting in. B...

Is there a way to create events that can happen at any point in the story? The best example I can think of to explain what I'm talking about are the free time events from Danganronpa. Basically the story stops and you're able to spend time with a character. If your relationship is high enough, you g...

I'm currently making a mystery visual novel. At the end of each case the player will have to answer several questions in a row to come to a conclusion on what happened. Here's a simple example of how I'm doing these bits right now. $ correct_answer_points = 0 menu: "What was the murder weapon?&...
