Hiya!
I want to make a VN, but need a tiny bit of direction.
I may have broken my brain by over researching. I was out here crawling through dusty forums dating back to 2013. So much info and it’s kinda overwhelming.
A lil info:
I have a background in editing and writing scripts. Along with VA experience, audio & video editing, very basic knowledge in python, dabbled in graphic design, but suck at creating characters. HANDS ARE EVIL.
I want to start small then work up to bigger projects. Something I can do on my own. Right now, I have 6 fully fleshed out scripts, but nothing simple. I plan to adapt one into a 2-3 character short story.
Is Renpy still the go to? I also have Visual Novel Maker, but I heard it’s buggy as hell.
If I wanted to maybe purchase some art elements like sprites ect, are there other sites I should consider besides itchio?
I wanna bypass working on directly with an artist to customize anything my first time. I want to simplify the process and focus on actually finishing my first game.
