I'm not a Killer

[DragoonHP]

Hello.
What should I say?
Maybe straight to the point of post.

The subject of this thread is the name of my first Visual Novel. Wanted to make one from a long time, but ah... never got the guts, inspiration and time.
On inspiration, it is the weirdest form of inspiration I have ever gotten. From a font!
Yup, I was playing The Answer by four leaf studio, didn't like the game, but it is differnt story. As soon as I saw the main menu background, something just struck me.
I half heartedly played the game and closed it as soon as it finished. Straining my mind for what was wrong, I came up with five words:
I'M NOT A
KILLER

And then I started writing the story, the story revolving around 5 words. Trashed thousands of ideas, until one struck with me.
Now I'm in the process of thrashing of more ideas, for suiting the 5 words.

If you have any thoughts from where should I start the story, and in between the lead is a boy, who goes to college (not final, could be changed), please tell me, because always for me the hardest part in writing a story is the start. If I could write the first 500 words, I can write the full story without much trouble.
So, please help a newbie.
Reply at the least and tell me your vies on this crazy inspiration.
Thanks.

For starter, you post this on a wrong section. You should post it under Work in Progress or Skill Development. For a second there, I was thought that you are claiming that you are not a "real" killer. Who know if some psychotic post a message here...

Back to the topic, perhaps you should make at least this:
1. Introduction - Who is he, why is he a killer "suspect", what did he do?
2. Development - What happened to him, what is his difficulty?
3. Climax - What is the most dangerous situation or conflict he faced and how he solved it?
4. Conclusion - The ending. You should have a vague idea about this before starting to write the script. And for VN, you should think more than 1 ending, while for a KN you only need one.

I hope this could help.

It could have been that. But I couldn't find a more appropraite topic.

1. Introduction: That was my first idea too. Making the lead a killer. But I quickly shoved it aside. Because I think it is way too common. Mine new idea seems common too, but hehe I have added some twist.
Now my lead is going to unravel a murder mystery.
2. Development: That's the whole secret.
3. Climax: Another of the secret.
4. Ending: I have planned 9 endings. I want it to be a Otome [that is the term I persume for dating games]/thriller/mystery. It will be your choice which path you want to choose.
There will be two important endings; first one will be the true ending and second one will be the best ending.

This is what I came up after thrashing thousands of ideas. Now the real work began. I plan to write 9 different stories and weave them together in a single VN. I hope that's the way of writing a good VN, because I acnm't think of another way.

I know it's too early to ask, but does it sound like a good idea. A game based on a font file. Let's see what it's future holds

Reply fast.

P.S.: Can a moderator or admin move the topic to the thread which is appropriate for it?

Otome [that is the term I persume for dating games]

As it goes, when people around here talk about 'otome' games, they mean 'games with a female lead'; if it's a dating game, then something like 'dating game' or 'romance' is fine. ;-)
