Re: Bi-Curious!

I was thinking of making a cutesy game about discovering your sexuality. Just four datable characters, a not-too-serious plotline, and a few hours of gameplay per route is what I was thinking. That sounds like a good start. A couple things to think about... * How choices will work in the story. Do ...

Re: Premonition, Critique Welcome

A computer virus has taken over the world, the robot uprising has happened. Humanity is nearing extinction. This sounds a lot like a world-famous movie franchise . That said, think about whether you'll benefit by changing your premise. The only hope left lies in the last human colony, Zion. When I ...

...some choice options would be locked unless you have a high enough stat. other choices would raise or lower certain stats. Hatoful Boyfriend is a story with a small emphasis on the protagonist's stats. However, like quite a bit of the story, its stat management is played for absurd comedy. The pr...

Re: Could this kind of project work as a VN?

Basically, I'm pondering whether my game concept would work as a Visual Novel / appeal to VN audience. Will people buy your story? Will it get noticed on iTunes or Steam or some other platform? I don't know. You might have to aggressive market your content. Search for fans who will enjoy the art, w...

Re: Trilogy of Acceptance?

Okay, aside from story being only in barebones concept, if I were to consider a budget, it sounds like artwork cost could be near outrageous... However, I do want to flesh the stories before I even consider art/sound, etc... You may benefit by considering some of the following ideas: 1. Write one s...

Re: How to Create Compelling Antagonists/Villians in Otome Sims

It is true that antagonists don't believe that their the villain from their own perspective but what are some essential aspects of empathy to nail down for a reader. Good question. I think that an antagonist should believe their cause is genuine, and that they're justified in their actions. If an a...

Are you interested in playing a vn from the perspective of an asexual character? Does the concept interest you, put you off, or are you just neutral to it? H ow much do you know about asexuality? Have you ever come across it in media before? One reason why I read fiction is to understand other peop...

Re: American University Life [18+ RomCom, School life, SoL]

My hope is that if this takes off to some semblance of financial gain (I intend this to be commercial), then I would look in to using the profits to fund a much larger chapter of the game to span the entirety of a school year. Be sure to talk with indie game and VN creators. Get some thoughts from ...

Re: Blake VN [Linear/Episodic/Comic/Vigilante/Sci-Fi/Thriller] [In Development]

I like the character portraits, since they're a little bit exaggerated. (If you're curious, I do not tend to enjoy photorealistic drawings, especially when the main characters are humans.) The kinetic sci-fi thriller visual novel tells the story of Blake and his transformation into a vigilante. Set ...

You can't date her. She doesn't magically get better and confess her love to you. All you're working for in this is to help her. That's an interesting point of difference. I like the "friendship only" angle, and I believe that for some people, it's a selling point. I think there are peopl...
