I do like dwarf fortress but I've only played fortress mode. I'm sure I'll give adventure mode a try when it comes out on the steam version. I was mostly inspired by other VNs :)
I have an idea of a story where a world that was generated in the Dwarf Fortress inspired me, but I don't know whether to just do it as a comic in Furaffinity or try to make a game like this. Was it difficult for you to learn how to make a VN? I mean with the program to mount everything. How time did it take you to make yours?
