Whoa! I just looked into artbreeder and that's really cool. I'm definitely having fun browsing it now lol.
I totally agree with that for the "you" character of this kind of game. Definitely feels nice not to have any dissonance between the player and the main character.
And good to know about the other characters. I totally get the drawing struggle. I've been wanting to try to put a game together one day, and have been playing with the idea of Renpy, but making the commitment and leap of time and resources it would all take to learn is a bit daunting for me so I totally getcha on resources x_x;
And good to know! I'll check that version out. Looking forward to seeing more of your writing!
Funny enough, I did try Ren'py to do a half-assed google translated (+ my imperfect English) remake for a Moritake game but quitted 1/3 way through from boredom. It's not super complicated (at least to me) but yea, unless you can draw or know someone who can, it's not a wise idea to jump into the VN scene.
Enjoy!
Interesting. Yeah, I can't draw and was disputing taking a stab at learning Daz3d (as if learning both together wouldn't be a feat of time and effort) I just wanna use my writing degree for a similar kinda thing, I think, but the only idea I have for a game would be maybe too intensive for a first stab at things.
Anywho, thanks! I will haha.
