Second, I think you can benefit from lurking around and look at the other recruitment topics to see how people write their opening posts because what you have right now is messy and unorganized, when everything you're posting right now could literally just be in your first post. Laiska just linked you the same set of rules I did for the Recruitment forum, and because you're new you really REALLY should read them.
btw, I'm naturally messy (reluctant giggle). It's just a part of who I am, although thanks for the advice, but you are coming across a little bit rude.. it would be nice if your tips were a little more positive. although I do appreciate help so as I said earlier, thanks.

I apologize for coming across as condescending. But I also don't believe in sugar-coating and it really did seem like you didn't read the links that Laiska and I gave. Rinima and Rakada have helped out a little more, so I hope you can get things together with their directions.

It's important to be organized, especially if you start making VNs. Between programming, recruiting artists, VAs, and writing your story, it's easy to get lost real fast.

childhood friend and popular idol, Kaname. Or how about Prince-like Hiroki? Maybe you like the cold and distant Kaito? Could you be a lesbian and like your BFF Yukari?
Could you end up with your cousin Reiji? Possibly you like the wealthy Seizo whom is extremly optimistic? Perhaps You'll fall in love with a teacher? It's all up to you? Who do you want to marry?

okay. ARIGATO!! if you have any ideas on how to improve my game (or a name) please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm glad to have help, although when you can't hear a person, it's quite hard to tell if it's constructive criticism or just rude. also please give me some input on my idea! anyone can actually.

Gosh, could you, please, stop making double post one another one? The lack of organization is annoying me like you don't even know how. First of all, this thread first post, go on and organize it. Basically what you have to do so you don't get lost while it:

1. Maybe a little presentation of yourself, what you're doing and what you need.
2. A description of your project, as other users said, you do need a description, nobody's gonna work for a "ghost project", show us that you have something done, but please, don't make a post just for say something useless because, as you can see in the editor for posting "Is this worth the time of all those readers?".
3. Show some progress you've done, you can't just go and hire VAs and artists for something that hasn't even started to be made.
4. Again, say, exactly what do you need, for people who's mother tongue isn't english may be difficult for understand what you mean with "CG required emotions: Happy, Embarrassed, Talking, Sad, Surprised, Confused, Not sure, Angry, Serious, Annoyed, Laughing, Wink, Silly, Gentle". Seriously, I don't get what you want, if a sprite or a CG.

And I think that's all, but one more tip for you, even with this, maybe you should post a thread of your game on the work in progress section, because I truly believe this is where you introduce the characters and think about the name and such, while this section is only for recruitment and services offered.

That's all, does I sound rude? Yeah, I sound extremately rude, but that's my way of saying things when I have a bad day, and is surprisingly the clearest way I do it.

If you have a problem with a post or a thread and it's really, really annoying you, maybe you should report it to a moderator instead of worrying about it yourself . . .

I have one question that I do not think has been addressed previously

Is this game commercial or not? I assume not because
btw when I say free, I mean non-payed. Btw, you can also send ur ideas to me if u want. (For characters). I can still add them in.
However that only says that the work is unpaid

Also some another thing you could mention is how many words the script is going to be and how much has been written

As for some clarification...

A cg is a full screen image showing a still picture of what is happening

A sprite is a set of pictures of a person which represent their different emotions

Hope this helps
