great to know! ^^
I really enjoyed the story and the artwork of the characters - they look great^^ (it's such a pleasant surprise considering all the fast-made, not-that-nice-looking character's sprites over there...)
Don't loose 'hope'! - I think it would be much easier after you make your first fully-functioning-as-intended VN ;]] You can also check some other visual novels (Errath Kingdom is great!) and see what they have in 'settings' or how they work.
Still it's very impresive that you put together and made this story - THANK YOU!! ^^
