Guys, how about creating a visual novel
After hundreds of thousands of scanned anime, after a couple of tons read manga, after several tens of visual novels and gigabytes of anime music, I fear the creation of visual novels, who do not know it, there are two prominent examples Doki-doki Literature Club and Everlasting summerwas after all I decided to finally get up the courage and experience and finally create my first novel, hardly anyone is interested in it. But help would not hurt me.
I will say for those who hope for money, they are not there, if you want to help, then keep in mind that neither I nor you will receive money, and all the work is done to exchange experiences, thoughts, knowledge and just make friends.
Hundreds of thousands, moo ha ha :) There are not so many of them in total, and even more so with translation.
As they say, without a clear TK - the result is HZ. You need a rough outline of the work with the main idea, forks, descriptions of characters, divided into chapters. That is, while without dialogues, you write something like:
1) GG - a simple guy from the provinces, average height, average weight, with glasses, lives in a kopeck piece on the outskirts of Krasnodar, works as a loader in Pyaterochka, parents died, not married, children no.
2) From a terrible hangover, on the morning of January 1, he makes his way to the house, there is silence on the street, there are no people, and then he notices a young woman on the bench, with traces of the holiday on her face, unconscious. Being a kind and sympathetic person, he drags her home. Or it doesn't, it's the first fork. The woman leaves for the sobering-up station, and our friend continues a quiet, inconspicuous life with a quiet and inconspicuous ending.
3) Here is a description of the appearance of our drunk heroine. The dating scene and all that.
4) We need a conflict, for example, having said goodbye to a new friend, our burly GG discovered that all small valuables had disappeared from the apartment. Another fork in the road, whether to write or not to write, because the drunk muse dropped her passport in the corridor ...
5) What a novel without mysticism, GG, deciding not to involve police officers in the case, independently tracks down her acquaintance, she lives nearby, in a private sector, in an old wooden house, practically a homeless man, here is a description of the house and all that. After waiting for the hostess to leave, our GG enters the house, closed simply on a stick, takes a step into the room and ... there is a fork. In the room there is an altar woven from branches and bones, candles are burning, shadows move in the corners. Someone's voice suggests touching the altar: 1) Touch, pass out, wake up in the world with cat girls 2) Run away, write an application, send an alien from another world to knit mittens in the nearest colony, for three years.
In short, after you have this type of plan, you will read it and if it seems to you that this is not complete garbage and if you find a person who will draw everything for you, and even for free, then you can cut your story. And indiscriminately, without dividing the work into stages, fig what will you get.
Good idea. I also love anime novels, one of my favorites "Remember11 -the age of infinity". "Endless Summer" played - not bad for "ours".
I agree that it is difficult to create a good game without a small, full-fledged team. Unfortunately, I have practically no experience in drawing in writing music, especially not. However, I am familiar with programming in C # and have experience in programming 2D games on the Windows GUI engine. Yes, so far I have written (publicly) only one game, by the way, also on a Japanese theme (posted on the torrent), although, of course, more experience would not hurt.
I think if you can find another good artist, musician and screenwriter. then something can come out. Who are you? Writer, programmer, artist ... or both.
