Let's Create a VN!!!

[thecoins]

[MENTION=17020]~SnowAngel~[/MENTION]; I agree with you. VA is hard if you isn't using good equipment. how about becoming a story writer snow?
I already made my own VN, but it's stalled because the story writer is somewhat lazy -.-... and don't worry about programming, I can do it, just forget a little about programming. also if nobody is interested in becoming graphical artist, I also can do that.
Music... hmm... are there anybody who capable to compose music here? if no, probably we could use royalty-free music from internet.

Hey [MENTION=29831]thecoins[/MENTION];...~! Again wrong mention try: You had after the "@"-character the "space-button" pushed, and the "username" must direct on the side of "@" add...~

 

[Shir0]

what is a visual novel?

 

[nanashi1]

Hey [MENTION=23970]x-Shiki-x[/MENTION];...~! Don't act yourself stupid there,,,~ You know sure what a VN is...~

 

[~SnowAngel~]

I would feel much better having some ideas being given to me~ it's hard for me to think if the universe is the limit for ideas.
It can be detailed or general boundaries for me to use. There should be at least one other person that helps write/edit tho, since there will be a few things that I'll miss. How much I'm able to write is based on alot of things, but overall I do well with little pressure.
enough to be motivated and encouraged, not more than that x_x

using already made music is a good way to go, but it's a good idea to have a few people pool in ideas for that as well.
For ex, we could agree that something has to be happy/sad for one scene, but not sure what to pick. This is where we all go through tons of music and suggest however many. As far as legal stuff, I have no idea how that works for VN music x_x

ummmmm for final stuff, we certainly need at least 3 uninvolved kind people to go through everything as if it were complete.
If there's a simple fix, that can happen~ if it's an overall thing, it's better to take it as experience.


[MENTION=23970]x-Shiki-x[/MENTION];
a visual novel is a story with pictures. Quality ones have music, sounds, voices, and sometimes animated art. Sometimes there are several endings for a novel based on the choices you make in the story.

The first thing I would love to suggest is to have the protagonist as a girl~ since otherwise might be difficult for me XD
The second is that I will in no way contribute to perversion. Sarcasm and suggestive ideas can be considered for appropriateness.


sooo here's a favy some of you could do for me. Just build on each idea and do as much as you can
You can be as simple or detailed as you want.

1. Think of a overall theme, moral, etc for the VN. It can be several parallels. In other words, what do you want to tell the readers?

2. Think about who the characters are, and one specific character's life. What are their struggles? Their past? Their personality?

3. Think of a scene for your character in relation to the others. How is that character introduced? Why do they matter to the story?


If you haven't played a visual novel, I could recommend a few short ones for you~ :P

 

[thecoins]

hmm using name "shiki" and yet didn't know Visual Novel is? how weird

[MENTION=29193]nanashi1[/MENTION]; thanks, typing from my mobile is prettt hard...

 

[nanashi1]

Ok..., Don't mind thecoins...~

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm story... if you made meh write i wouldnt add any perversion either ;p Considering how a hug or kiss is already quite extreme for meh >///< Story... so what kind of genre do we want to focus on?

 

[thecoins]

[MENTION=17020]~SnowAngel~[/MENTION]; [MENTION=8332]samyeung46[/MENTION]; you both could be a great storywriter. I'm thinking about a life journey of a girl in a college. no ecchi, no harem, no reverse harem, all about love, willpower, etc. it's only have one ending.

About the music, if i didn't wrong, you are free to use royalty-free music in any mean. but it depends on the music provider/composer. sometimes we must put them in the credits.

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm creative commons~ I wonder if i can write a story of a parallel world while ushio writes her story ;p Well idk just making it complicated atm~ But maybe a dream world?~

 

[thecoins]

Dream world? like what?

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm have a dream world where she ends up when she goes to sleep and theres some relation to the events of the real world somehow~

 

[thecoins]

that's interesting... reminds me of velvet room in persona4

 

[Slayn312]

Hmm.... You should give it bout 3 ending..... Great to have multi-play through, you know...... One ending seem kind of lacking.... Plus you beat it than that's it.....

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Lol multiple endings~ Hmm so we think up the script after the story?~ Tons of places where we could make the story a little different~

 

[Slayn312]

Yea... Give it a bad ending also..... Like you make the wrong choice through out the game....

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm so a good neutral and bad? Different events as the story goes and maybe have the background be slightly different shades for it?~

 

[nanashi1]

Then are 3 options open: Sound-Novel (how Fate/*-series) or VN (what mostly is) or Kinetic-Novel (visual art's type Novels)...~

 

[Slayn312]

Yea.... It make the game more interesting and make the player want to know what happen .....

 

[~SnowAngel~]

I think there's a good start~

Having two protagonists, both having "weird dreams" that sometimes happen in the real world. Things in the dreams just represent what's going to happen at some point in the VN.

For multiple endings, it would need at least 2 side stories that should be treated first as VN2 and VN3.
With that, you can make an amazing ending for each. It would be based on a certain friend either protagonist has.

ummmm maybe we could give the reader the option to follow either protagonist around the middle of the story~ XD


as far as romance, I want to avoid being cliche "we've known each other since childhood" oorrr "we've known each other for about 2-1/2 months" all that drama.. x_X

It should be about building the courage to start a relationship, dealing with conflicting feelings, thoughts etc~
Things that apply to use personally will be the strong points, rather than talking about things we really haven't known too much about.


hmmmmm I could take some pics and wtv of my campus for background representation or ideas~
it looks run down a bit, but gives me mixed feelings about everything :P

---

there should NOT be a bad ending, ever x_x it makes me feel like i've wasted my time reading, or it could make me think that I'm a bad person.

in either way, it's better to make 3 good stories, than one "great" story with a bad and normal one.

really.. it's not motivating to get a bad ending x_x I gave up on a few visual novels because of them :/

 

[Slayn312]

Hmm.... Should make a list of thing that been mention and going to be in the game.....

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm well not necessarily a "bad" ending but an ending that is different? Well idk xD I like random twists~

Ehh what was i thinking... ahh yeah so itll be somewhat like a collaboration between me and ushio sorta? Should i wait till snow writes the first part then build on it with the dreams and then let her continue after or just write a story? I suppose a general outline would be fine for thinking about what we want to happen?

 

[thecoins]

hmm yeah, bad ending somewhat kills my mood to play.. but it's a nice idea to have multiple ending. also how do you play a game with two protagonist?

 

[nanashi1]

But a bit epic-elements/moments in the storyline would not bad...~

 

[Slayn312]

Not bad bad end...... Just like the choice you make didn't go as plan, you know......
