It IS hard to make money from otome games, more so because it's a niche of a niche, but if you love doing it, then nothing should stop you from designing your own game.NemiGal wrote: ↑Sat Apr 07, 2018 11:54 pmAgh! too bad that is hard to earn money with otome games, they seem to be fun to create, but the time they consume to to develop is huge.milkteebaby wrote: ↑Sat Apr 07, 2018 7:53 pmYou can do other things that WILL earn you more money. Trust me. Designing otome games are a long-term investment. I would be very surprised to find devs who split even/made a profit off their first otoge.
Make games because you love them. Don't make them because you want to make money. You'll only waste your time.
Well, good to know that i must forget of being able to quit my job to develop a VNs.
Good to know that there is still a space for indie otoges, you know with all those japanese otoges from huge companies, being traslated.
Thanks for the reply!
Don't take everything I say to heart; if you want to dev a VN, then you should do it because you want to, not because someone told you it's too time consuming and expensive, especially if you hire out for assets, etc.
The majority of otoges being translated are not what I'm interested in, and I know there's other people like me who don't want to play as a high school girl :3
