Hey! I'm so glad you liked the game. Making your own visual novel is such a great idea for your assignment. :) I used Ren'Py to make this game, so I also recommend it. I actually didn't know anything about game development before starting and just went right into playing around with Ren'Py and learning Python. It was a lot of fun and totally doable, provided that you're into that kind of thing. I was able to make this game without any big struggles. It just took a lot of time to write the script, make the art, compose the music, put it all together, etc. Best of luck if you decide to give it a try!
