Looking at your website, it sounds like you have already finished writing Factory of Souls as a prose novel, and that it's already been published. That is encouraging. I often worry when I see a person talking about creating a complex / lengthy / fandom-changing visual novel, but they haven't alread...

You have a distinct art style, which can be a plus if you're selling your story. I think that your drawings can help you find an audience of people who are ready and willing to buy downbeat crime fiction. Yeah, it will be episodic unless we manage to find a publisher like asap. Still looking, and th...

...the kingdom of Sears... It's tough to see this name and not think about the retailer . The last memorable thing I bought there was Skies of Arcadia for Dreamcast, right before it went out of print. Having a third person narrative differs from most VN... For what it's worth, the Visual Novel Data...

I learned about this project thanks to a post on r/visualnovels. I'm kinda different from other people who post there. I've tried about seven of their recommended titles (most of which are OJLVNs), but only finished reading a route in two of them. Two things I already like about Seventh Circle: 1. R...

bury me by death's garden is a personal challenge to write a visual novel based on pre-existing art, instead of having art made for an original script. This sounds like an interesting challenge. Every now and then, I've dropped by the Art Institute of Chicago and thought about its 2D art, sculpture...

I really want the characters to feel like people and there to be more than just the end goal of a kiss. And I really like to be inclusive. Also, I like to have the choices matter. I like these goals. Write down some things to help you achieve them... 1. Specific pieces of fiction that you like, and...

From the start, you have locked yourself in your apartment to hide from the serial killer called "The Fortune Teller". In such a predicament, you’ll be interacting with Nova City and its people through your computer’s screen. From your computer, you’ll be able to make calls, tap into peop...

I saw this same topic on r/visualnovels a few minutes ago. As of this writing, it has more than a hundred comments . If you're curious, I like that community, and I've posted there in the recent past. Unfortunately, I don't think that I have much in common with a lot of people who post there. I have...

I just want to take a look at others that are just unusual/ try to change things up. (For better or for worse.) Seven examples, including some freeware... 1. Trigger stands out partly because of its art. Since the story is about adults dealing with complex and depressing problems, the drawings seem...

I'm not a moderator. Just keep in mind that the forum rules state "Adult games must have an adult thread before any non-adult threads are created. This is to provide the forum administration with a place to move adult posts to." Yes, you can discuss an NSFW project here in Player's Pavilio...

What parts of the world would you like to learn more about? You've already provided some information about your world's magic. My first thought is "that's creative, could be amusing." If you have time, read about Brandon Sanderson's first , second , and third laws of fictional magic. Who ...

I've read quite a few visual novels which have featured things such as 1) character sprites combined with backgrounds, 2) drawn 2D art in color that isn't especially realistic or abstract, 3) either a separate textbox or text on top of still images, 4) a focus on characters' relationships, and 5) no...

If you choose to set your story in contemporary Japan, be sure to do research. Talk with a person who's lived there. Ask someone to check for errors. A couple things to keep in mind with minigames: * "Are they worth programming?" Only commit to creating as much content as you can handle. I...

Nutaku (website NSFW) might be an option. They offer adult games for browsers, pay-to-download, and mobile devices. They have a detailed page called "Game Developers and Publishers" which states what they offer for indie devs. Also, Nutaku offers a crowdfunding site called Kimochi. It hasn...

The Omega Pattern's first part and free demo are already available on Steam (it has been Greenlit by the Community), Itch.io, Google Play and the App Store... I noticed it on iTunes and Google Play. I thought about downloading it, but chose not to. Spoilers due to personal reasons... 1. My iPod is ...
