Double Trilogy of Long Novels - Need BG Artist!

Hello all, I've been thinking about this for quite some time now. I'm extremely happy with how my visual novels have been turning out, but haven't spent any real time or effort in advertising or marketing them to readers. With the increase in popularity of VNs over the last couple years, I've starte...

Re: Visual Novel collections

I use 6 main characters in my series, each telling their own separate tales, but they do eventually all tie together, so I can't say there isn't an overaching plot... There are some similarities. Each of my novels is 24 chapters long, so each character gets 4 chapters to themselves. It switches back...

Re: Characters dating one another

If sbester wrote a dating sim VN - Part 1. The two friends become locked in a battle over the girl's affections. Protagonist and friend duel it out in a sword fight that goes on for 2 hours (because hey, why the hell not?). Of course, the protagonist is finally proclaimed as the victor, his blade he...

Re: Questions regarding your first VN ever

1. Mafiosi 1 took about a year or so to write. 2. Solo, although my friend did the title poster for it, which is pretty kick-ass. All resources and music were taken from elsewhere, something I hope to change in the near future. 3. 64k words. The sequel was a tad over 90k and was completed in the sam...

Thanks so much! I'll definitely do my best to get the next parts out as quickly as I can. I'm extremely eager to finally get to write the most shocking scenes of the series :)

Re: How is your project going (or not going)?

5 chapters out of 24 completed for Mafiosi 3. I'm really looking forward to ending the first trilogy, and excited because this is the story I've really wanted to tell since its inception. It's also looking to be the longest entry so far, and slated to be twice the length of the first novel (aiming f...

Re: Writing Likeable Murderers?

I love this topic! My entire VN series is trying to accomplish exactly this. All of my characters do have the sympathetic back stories that some of you aren't so enthused about, but you live through those stories with each installment (Mafiosi 1 features the cast as children, Mafiosi 2 as teens, Maf...

Re: Episodic Releases - Pros and Cons

I did something "kinda" similar with my Mafiosi novels. Each novel is 24 chapters long, and I have a new release of it posted every 6 chapters (each of which is told by a different character). I don't have them re-tread previously told events though, it's all sequentially told. Each sequel...
